Guard that name!

A good and honorable name will take you far. Your integrity has far more value that riches. Gold and silver come and go, but a good name earned by honorable behavior has lasting value even beyond one’s lifetime. We honor God’s name because it represents Who He is. The Name of Jesus is above all other names because of Who He is and what He did for us. His Name reflects His grace and glory. In the same way, our names should reflect God’s love, mercy and grace. It should reflect honorable, godly wisdom, courage and personal integrity. Work on protecting your name. It is more desirable than great riches, and it will point others to God’s goodness, because when they see what God has done in your life, they will see How God delivered you and kept you throughout your life, and they will want that same love and grace for them and their families. Always remember, your name represents you, your family, and our loving Heavenly Father.

Proverbs 22:1 (AMP) “A good name [earned by honorable behavior, godly wisdom, moral courage, and personal integrity] is more desirable than great riches; And favor is better than silver and gold”.

Do you have the right perspective?

Possessing the right perspective is a powerful weapon of warfare. Everything we lose while we serve God, we really never lose it!!! When we apparently lose something in the Kingdom of God, it is a temporary situation because God will replace it with something better and more beneficial. Many times what we lose was actually unnecessary and even harmful to our future and destiny. Mark 10:28-30 says: “Peter said to him, “We have left everything to follow you!” “I tell you the truth,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields-and with them, persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life”. Notice: God will restore it in this life, and grants us eternal life in Christ. So instead of always thinking loss, remember that you are part of the Kingdom of God, and if you do lose something, it will be replaced with something far better, Hallelujah!
