TEXT GENESIS 32:25-30
TOPIC : IDENTITY AND PREDESTINATION
[25]And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
[26]And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
[27]And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
[28]And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
[29]And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
[30]And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
Dearly beloved, this was a day when Heaven gave a mortal man a new name and also declared onto him that he had prevailed.
Imagine if you were Jacob, hearing that you had prevailed over man and God?
You would definitely begin to see yourself differently.
The truth is that concerning you, there is also a similar announcement from heaven in 1 Peter 2:9,
"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:"
Beloved, step out this morning with this mind set and your life will begin to show a difference.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
