Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Listen carefully, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and she will call his name Immanuel (God with us).
Dear Ones: Immanuel (God with us)! The names that are revealed in the Bible have God-given purpose. Immanuel means God with us that reveals how salvation was to come. This is a prophetic word of the Incarnation of Christ. But one might ask, are our given names relevant to our spiritual walk? The answer is Yes!
The One Who numbers the hairs of your head is concerned about how you are called. When you named your children, you thought about it with deep concern. Sometimes a nickname comes forth as the child develops and grows.
The Father will give each of His overcoming children a special name as revealed in Revelation 2:17 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.”’ This reveals the loving nature of our Father and His delight in each of His children.
May you rejoice in Immanuel (God with us) as you consider the greatness of our Father’s love. He already has a pet name chosen for you and the accompanying blessings that go with it. Have an overcoming day for you are an overcomer because Immanuel lives in you. I bless you in Jesus’ name.
