FIRE SCRIPTURE: 1 Chronicles 4:1-10
1 The sons of Judah: Perez, Hezron, Carmi, Hur, and Shobal. 2 Reaiah the son of Shobal fathered Jahath, and Jahath fathered Ahumai and Lahad. These were the clans of the Zorathites. 3 These were the sons[a] of Etam: Jezreel, Ishma, and Idbash; and the name of their sister was Hazzelelponi, 4 and Penuel fathered Gedor, and Ezer fathered Hushah. These were the sons of Hur, the firstborn of Ephrathah, the father of Bethlehem. 5 Ashhur, the father of Tekoa, had two wives, Helah and Naarah; 6 Naarah bore him Ahuzzam, Hepher, Temeni, and Haahashtari. These were the sons of Naarah. 7 The sons of Helah: Zereth, Izhar, and Ethnan. 8 Koz fathered Anub, Zobebah, and the clans of Aharhel, the son of Harum. 9 Jabez was more honorable than his brothers; and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.”[b] 10 Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from harm[c] so that it might not bring me pain!” And God granted what he asked.
MFM Devotional 2 July 2025 – Wednesday MESSAGE
What is in a name? This is a very popular question. But there is so much that you can ever know. Your name is a physical and spiritual tag. It marks your identity. It tells who you are. That is why a dog behaves like a dog and not a cat.
Children all over the world are named with a purpose. It could be as a result of their birth, prevailing situation or any other reason as the parents deem fit. Some are even named after a person, place or thing, depending on their parents’ emotions and feelings. Remember, Rachel first named Benjamin, Benoni; the wife of Phineas named her son Ichabod – the glory has departed from Israel.
Would you not agree that your name has much to do with your destiny! Same is the case of Jabez. His honourable situation could not manifest; he faced spiritual limitations. Although the Bible gave no further reasons but Jabez was not comfortable with his situation; he needed and sought a change! He provoked divine change with his four-in-one prayer point (verse 10). Amazingly, God granted his request.
What is your name? Are you in the same situation as Jabez? You sure need to cry to God, and let every negative cloud covering your personality evaporate, in Jesus’ name. Your name can attract evil or good to you; it can bring you honour or dishonour. In case your name has been the cause of unpleasant experiences in your life, you should pray to God for a new name. Jesus saw his failure and impetuous nature in Simon and also saw the potential to become a leader in the church in him. Hence, he renamed him Cephas, the Aramaic for Peter – a rock (Matthew 16:18). Jacob experienced a change when he became Israel, Saul was renamed Paul. Get ready to experience the same God who is set to call you by a new and glorious name and your life will not remain the same, in the name of Jesus.
