hello everybody I'm Alfred and you're listening to Alfred's Bible Club podcast let's open our Bibles to the Book of Genesis chapter 17 Reading from verse 1 to 6 using the King James version I read and when Abraham was 90 years old and N the Lord appeared to Abraham and said unto him I am the almighty God walk before me and be thou perfect I will make my Covenant between me and theee and will multiply the ex L and Abraham fell on his face and God talked with him saying as for me behold my Covenant is with thee and thou sh be a father of many nations neither shall thy name anymore be called Abraham but thy name Shall be Called Abraham for for a father of many nations have I made thee and I will make thee exceedingly fruitful and I will make nations of thee and King shall come out of the praise God what I want to draw your attention to is verse 5 it says neither shall thy name anymore be called Abraham but thy name shall be Abraham for a father of many nations have I made the what I want to talk about is what name do you answer to what is your name what is the meaning of your name there are many people who don't think it is important but it is extremely important we see here that for Abraham to move into His blessings his name needed to be changed he could not be blessed by God himself as powerful as God is God is all powerful but keep in mind that God pleased by the rules he created God created laws and God does not violate his laws God is not a respector of persons and God is not going to destroy order he's not a god of chaos he's not going to destroy his rules his spiritual order and his spiritual principles and one of the principles that are in place in the realm of the spirits is that your name affects your destiny your name cannot be a cause and you expect your life to be blessed there are some people that have names that mean ridiculous things some people their name means serpent it may sound good in English but when translates it to where the origin of that word came from you see that the meaning of their name is serent or it means deceiver or it means something terrible or it could mean something that translates to poverty I wonder why you are poor some people have African names that exalt ancient gods that their ancestors worship they say they family name that is the name that their fathers their father has always had their father had their great grandfather had it you know it's old family name but what does it mean it exalts one ancient god that they worshiping why would that God now have dominance in your life because that is a demon your name is exalting that demon some people they transl of your name is is great or is great why and be great in your life why am or be great in your life when your name is saying that they are great that is what he manifest in your life your name is very important let's also look at the Book of Genesis 32 I'm reading from 24 to 30 I read and Jacob was left alone and there Wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day and when he saw that he prevailed not against him he touched the H of his thigh and the Hol of Jacob's thigh was out of joint as he wrestled with him and he said let me go for the day break and he said I will not let the go except thou bless me and he said unto him what is Thy Name you see I will not let you go unless thou bless me and then what was the next thing he said what is Thy Name you see the Ling between blessing and your name so let's keep on reading and he said unto him what is name and he said Jacob and he said name shall be called No More Jacob but Israel for as a prince that has power with God and with men and has prevailed and Jacob asked him and said tell me I pray thy name and he said wherefore is it that thou do ask after my name and he blessed him there and Jacob called the name of the place PR for I have seen God face to face and my life is preserved you see this is very important Jacob meant swindler as long as his name meant T deceiver he could not move into blessing his name had to mean something that will guarantee the the blessing that to bring forth the blessing in the case of Abraham his name was Abraham his name was Abraham Abraham Abraham means assumed father but Abraham meant father of many you see the difference as long as he was answering assumed father that is he he what he going to be an assumed father you know but his name had to be changed to reflect what he wanted children of his own father of many so it's very important that you take this to and you change your name you can legally change your name I believe in some countries if you are above 18 in some other countries you have to be above 21 you can go to a la and legally change your name there's nothing wrong with it you know change your name all the old documents in your name are still valid it's not like does that mean you have to go back to school and redo kindergarten high school and no all those docents are still valid but from the day you you sign Affidavit of change of name from that day moving forward your name is now legally the new name so pick a name that has a good meaning and also when you get into relationships with people ask them what is their name and what does it mean you also look it up what is the meaning of their name because some people answer names that prophesy and bring forth Calamity to their lives whereas some people answer name that make the environment conducive for the blessing to flow so this is very important this scripture has made it clear that even if God wants to bless you if your name is a cause to yourself or your name is disadvantageous if your name is a prophecy of something bad if your name is something bad is it's therefore effective and it hinders God himself from blessing you until you change your name so that's it thank you remember to check out afid of VIP for more have a nice day
