THE POWER OF A NAME

August 29, 2024

Taken from a sermon by Bryant Wright, Founder, RFTH

“God said to Moses, ‘I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: “I AM has sent me to you.’”
Exodus 3:14

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, the significance of a name might seem small.

Yet, names hold the essence of our identity and, often, our destiny. Consider Moses, whose name means “drawn out of water,” a name that foretold his rescue from the Nile and his role in delivering the Israelites from slavery. His story emphasizes the transformative power of identity and recognition.

Think of God’s name, “I AM,” revealed to Moses at the burning bush. It signifies an unchanging and everlasting presence. It reassures us that God remains constant no matter the turbulence in our lives or the chaos in the world.

Our names, whether they come from family traditions, are inspired by events or are chosen later in life, carry weight. They shape how others see us and can influence our own behavior. Jacob, another biblical figure, lived up to his name, which meant “liar and cheater,” until a divine encounter led to a new name and a changed life.

Consider your own name:

  • What does it represent?
  • How does it reflect your character or your calling?

Names are not just labels but markers of our legacy and purpose.

As you meditate on this, think about the names you give to others in your thoughts and words. Are they fair? Are they kind?

Let us use the power of naming to uplift and affirm, mirroring the respect and love we owe each other as reflections of the divine.
