THEME: NEW NAMES
Genesis 17:5-9 NIV
“No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations. I will make you very fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you. I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you. The whole land of Canaan, where you now reside as a foreigner, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you; and I will be their God.” Then God said to Abraham, “As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you for the generations to come.”
INSIGHT
-God declared His intentions to change the identity of Abram and Sarai, and deliver His promise to them. Abram which means “Exalted Father” possibly referring to God was renamed Abraham which means “father of many” was marked for a special purpose. Abraham was promised a son in his old age and the covenant of making him fruitful, and a father of many nations who would rule as kings was established in him and his descendants. His wife Sarai was also given a new name Sarah which means princess thus the evidence of becoming the mother of kings (Genesis 17:15-16). God has established us through faith in Christ and the covenant of making us great is evident for we are kings and priests to God and we rule on earth (Revelation 5:10). If we are Abraham’s seed then we are Christ’s and heirs according to the promise (Galatians 3:29).
PRAYER
Oh what a privilege to be called Your children Lord God our Father and co-heirs with You Christ our Lord and Savior. What a blessing to be named Kings and priests to You and an honor to rule here on earth through Your power precious Holy Spirit. What a privilege that You have made us to seat in heavenly places in Christ Jesus that we may experience the exceeding riches of Your grace. We are in awe of You Lord for the great and mighty work that You performed through our father Abraham as we hold fast our faith in You Christ Jesus. What a wonderful gift of eternal life that You have bestowed upon us and our descendants. May all Your promises and purposes unto us come to life in our lives, families, communities, churches, ministries, schools and education systems, government systems, judicial and legislative bodies. May Your will prevail over all and Your purposes come to fruition in our lives. May You make us fruitful, help us to multiply and fill the earth in every sphere of our lives. We praise You and honor You Abba Father, and it is in Jesus mighty name we pray believing and trusting. Amen
