FAITH CAPSULE: The meaning of a name matters and counts.

1 Chronicles 4

The meaning of the name one answers is not an accident as reflected in the life of such.
Among some that live the meaning of their name are:
Abraham, meaning the father of many nations.
David means adored, and his life testified as one, adored.
In the Bible, some answered names by the situation in place when they were born.
For example, Moses means drawn out of water.
Exodus 2:10 documents, “And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. So she called his name Moses, saying, “Because I drew him out of the water.”
The meaning of Moses testifies to the situation surrounding his life when he was born.
Jesus is the deliverance of God, and every documentation testifies His life for delivering all.
Are you a living testimony to the meaning of your name?
A negative meaning of a name needs to change to a positive name.
Jabez is an example of a name to be changed, reversing negative to positive in life.
For Jabez, the bible records, “Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.” And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested. (1 Chronicles 4:9-10)
The name Jabez means reflected pain.
Jabez called for his name change with a meaning name that is positive, not of pain.
Answering pain in the place of answering as an honored man of God is not acceptable for Jabez at a point in his life.
Jabez came out of answering to a meaningless name, a name (Jabez) that prophesied pain over his life. 
What is your name? 
Is your name setting you back from answering fully to the calling of God upon your life?
By name one is possible not to be in place to get help.
A painful name is a possibility for hope to dwindle. 
By a name meaning pain, faith fall or remain stagnated.
God is waiting for you to seek Him diligently and find your self-deliverance, just like Jabez sought his solution for his self-deliverance before God.
What is your name?
What is reflecting over your life?
Is there any name with no meaning that you are answering?
It is worth it for one not to be answering to a name with no meaning, avoiding a negative impact in life.
What is the meaning of your name?
Get wisdom with understanding, knowing to answer right, not to be a victim of lack of knowledge.

Prayer for today: Ask for the mercy of God to reverse irreversible in your life for His glory.
