The Importance Of Name & Why you should change your name if it has a bad meaning
Name is very important that’s why God named some people in the Bible e.g Abram to Abraham, Serai to Serah, Jacob to Israel. Mary was given the Name of Jesus to give to our Lord and Saviour before He was born and before she even conceived Him. John The Baptist parents were given the name John to give to him before he was born.
Don't just bear a name or accept any name or give your kids any name because you like how it sounds, But rather go for the good meaning behind the name. The meaning of a name is more important than the sound of the name. Don't bear or give a name because a celebrity bears it or a notable public figure is rocking the name and you like it, Don't even give a name because someone in your family that you love bears the name. When God gave John's parents the name John for their child, The name John wasn't in their family and it was unfamiliar to them, But they obeyed God. God gives name for a purpose. Stop bearing and giving names that you do not know the meaning.
Names are significant and can affect our lives significantly, So choose wisely! Do you know the meaning of your name? If you don't know, Find out, Google is your friend. Google the meaning of your name, And find out if it has a good meaning or not. It will amaze you that many names that sounds nice has no good meaning at all and it's not worth keeping or bearing, You have to let go. The Bible says a good name is better than riches (That implies a person's good reputation and image but can also apply here in this context) It's important to have a good name, A good meaning name, and clean image, Start now by knowing the meaning of your name, Your name is your identity. Your name is you, and should be put right, Your name represents you, Your name is your identity and can misrepresent you and affect you. Let go of a bad name.
It's never too late to change a name that has a bad meaning. Change a bad meaning name to a good name with good morning. Make your research and go for a good name that will bring good luck to you and not bad luck. God attach meaning to names, So, He will either bless the name and favour it or not. So, make sure you don't bear the wrong name that will attract the wrong people and bad things to you and make your life miserable. Bear a good name that will favour you and bring blessings to you, Bear a name that God give you, Bear a name that God blessed for you, Don't just go for a sweet fashionable name, Bear a good name with a good meaning that will favour you.
If you are confused about what name to bear, Please ask the Lord to give you a name. God gave His people names in the Bible, He can still do it, He remains the same forever.
Jabez name meant sorrow & pain and his life was full of sorrow & pain, His mother gave him the name, But he prayed to God, and God answered his prayer and changed his life for good. Like Jabez, Pray! God can still change your life and story and turn your situation around for His glory like Jabez.
Some parents ignorantly give bad names with bad meaning to their children, And some parents do it because of what they went through like Jabez mother named him Jabez because of the difficult birth, Whatever your case may be, Don't remain with the bad meaning name, Change it, You as an adult can change it, It's never too late to change it and watch your life change.
In Africa for example, Most people change the names their parents gave them when they grow up and become adults. In Africa, Some parents give their children names that praises gods and not GOD, In such cases the names should be changed to praise and bring glory to GOD, Names that praises gods are evil, Such names are blasphemous and will never bring good things into the lives of the bearers instead evils. So, be careful about the kind of name you bear and what it means. The meaning of a name is so important to know and beware of what name you bear, Don't manage or adapt to a bad name, Even if everyone knows you with it, Change it if it doesn't have a good meaning. A good morning name brings good things. Your life can change if you change name from bad to good. Hurry! Do it now.
Don't go for a name merely because it's fine and sweet, But rather choose a name because it has good meaning, And to be on the safe side it's better you ask God to choose for you. God knows best and God's will is the best. Blessed are those who God gave names! God give some people names even before they are born, and God also can change an adult name to a new name. Whichever the case may be it is the best when a name is given by God. God-given names are for a purpose, Because God is the God of purpose.
God gives meaningful names that suits His plan and purpose for the person's life (E g Jesus our Lord and Saviour, John that came to prepare the way for Jesus, Jacob to Israel, And he turned the Barren Serai to the mother of Nations Serah, And Abram to father of Nations Abraham) God-given names are purposeful. God gives names that fits and blends with one's purpose and destiny assigned and predestinated by God.
