Name Changes


You've probably never heard of the "Marafuku Company", but you've heard of Nintendo. You've probably never heard of "Brad's Drink", but you've heard of Pepsi-Cola. You've probably never heard of "Backrub". But you've heard of Google.

All of these companies went through a name change. They realized their old name wasn't describing their business very well, so they spiced things up. This is precisely what God does with us. He takes us through a number of name changes. When we first start our walk with Christ, we have a name. Shortly afterwards, Christ finds that our old name is no longer what describes us, so He re names us.

What an awesome thing to no longer be called "failure", but champion. What an awesome thing to no longer be called "useless", but a part of the body of Christ. What an awesome thing to no longer be called "alone", but dwelling with Christ.
