DEAR LORD, I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A BAD NAME (1)

Post date: Feb 18, 2019 2:14:03 AM

After accusing you, blaming you, destroying you and leaving you speechless in many ways, the enemies are now giving you a bad name. The enemies are doing all they could to change you, to control you, to humiliate you and to make you more shameful every day in your own eyes, in the eyes of your spouse, children, colleagues, family and in the eyes of others around you. They have robbed you of confidence, dignity, and honor, and have in their acts deprived you of your basic rights; they have forcefully taken your joy away, taken your possessions, denied your promotion and position, and they have rendered you a person without hope or anything good to offer to your family or to others. Through their evil activities against your best desires, your best dreams, your best efforts in life, your best prayer time and moment and your pressing demands; they have in their activities acted against your fastings and hopes, and you have been abused and given a bad and offensive name to carry along. The bad name is sticking by you and many more people are coming to identify and recognizing you by that name, but despite all of their bad activities and all the shame associated, your spirit is still united with Christ and your trust in Him is not broken.

I want you to know that despite the name given to you by your enemies because of their actions against you by what you are going through, God will still do what He had destined for your life if you will take your heart off that name and place it absolutely on Him, focusing on His unending and continuous love for you and relying on His ability to change what you cannot change by all of your best efforts and words and compelling pleading, Christ is able to change what people had done to and against you irrespective of its magnitude, and to bring you out from all and any evil from everywhere. Giving good people evil names is not new, giving Christians bad names is not new and the devil taking advantage of your humility through Christ is not new, but in all, Christ always confirm His words, change His people, and bring them out and above the names and evil places that men had given to them.

Because you have decided to believe and follow Jesus Christ and all of His teachings faithfully and diligently, you have been given a bad name. Because you have refused to compromise with people to live in or to commit evil, you have been given a bad name; because you have refused to continue in evil acts you were ones associated with, you have been given a bad name and called dishonest; because you have not been married, not because you refused to marry, you have been given a bad name; because you are yet to conceive or have children, you have been given a bad name; because you have no job despite what you know and your education, you haven called lazy; because you are yet to have a breakthrough in life after years of struggles and labor, you have been given a bad name; because you are truthful to Christ and humbled by His words, you have been given a bad name; becaue you are under the captivities of evil through their activities of evil against you, you have been given a bad name; because you refused to follow their ways of thought and their counsel, you have been given a bad name; but God is about to change you and when that change happens, that bad name intentionally or unintentionally given to you will go away on its own and people who gave and call you the bad name will come to honor the God you call, trust, look up to and serve. “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things have passed away. Behold, new things have come because spiritual awakening brings a new life. But all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ making us acceptable to Him and gave us the ministry of reconciliation so that by our example we might bring others to Him.” 2 Corinthians 5:17-18. In Christ you are no more what they say and do not even when the enemies try to take you back; even when things are not as you had desired, had planned and had thought. God is changing you and He is taking the bad name away. Be focused on Him and on His ways and words, He is doing it right now. Prayer Request Click here
