NEW IDENTIFICATION

*INSPIRATION*
(Giving direction to your day)

Topic: NEW IDENTIFICATION*
Text: Isaiah 62:2

“And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory; and thou shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name.” (Isa 62:2)

Names play a very significant role in virtually every culture.

*In several cultures names are given to signify the period the person was born, the type of family they were born into and in some cases the circumstances surrounding the birth of the person.*

*A name serves majorly as a means of identification.*

There are some names that once you hear them you can say precisely where the person is coming from.

*Its interesting to note that God also has promised and fulfilled the promise to also give us a new name.*

This is extremely important for us to understand. This therefore forms our new identification. It does not matter where we are coming from or the circumstances surrounding our birth; the name that God is giving us supersedes all other means of identification we must have been given.
Apart from names there are other things like family background, class of degree in school, country of residence, marital status etc that forms the means of identification for so many people. As good as some of them may be they are not a perfect means of identification.

*Ultimately for us as believers we are called by the name of the Lord.*

 There is a stamp of his name on our foreheads.

*By the work of redemption we are completely immersed into Christ, we are seated together with him; we are raised together with him. His name has become our name. We are in perfect union with Christ. He lives in us and we live in him.*

*The new name of a believer is Christ; this is your new identification. Not your family, not your degree in school, not your country of residence, not your gender etc.*

 We must see ourselves in perfect union with Christ. He’s everything to us and everything in us.

CONFESSION:
I am called by the name of the Lord. Christ is everything to me. I’m called by his name.

PRAYER REQUEST: In the name of Jesus we take authority over whatever stands as a barrier to the continuous spread of God's word through Inspiration.
 (Phil 2:9-11)

MY DESTINY VS ALTARS

  “And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Take thy father’s young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by it. And build an altar unto the LORD thy God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down.” Judges 6:25-25 Introduction An altar is usually a separate and raised platform used for offering sacrifices and burning incense for worship. Today we are looking at how to pull down evil altars fighting against our Divine destiny. An evil altar is a platform or a separate place where sacrifices are offered by the agents of darkness like a priest or a wicked one to cage or hold the destiny of men down. An evil altar is a place where the souls of men are caged and destroyed by the devil. When this evil altar is raised against a man, it goes to work to ...

OH LORD, SHOW ME MERCY

And he showed me Joshua the high Priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him. (Zachariah3:1) Zechariah 3 talks of a vision shown by God Almighty to the prophet Zechariah concerning Joshua who was the High Priest at the time. The job of Joshua as the High Priest is to connect the people to God by generally praying and interceding for them.  It therefore means that in carrying out this duty, Joshua must approach God in righteousness because the God we are talking about is a God whose eyes are so pure that they cannot behold iniquity. But here, Joshua was standing before God in filthy garments. WHAT GARMENT ARE YOU WEARING? Filthy garment can be termed a dirty garment; it is a garment that is stained. It is a garment of unrighteousness, a garment of sin. It is a garment of faithlessness and doubt. The only thing that can separate us from God, making us not to have an experience with Him is sin. For anyone to successfully serve God h...
