TOPIC: WHAT DO THEY CALL YOU?

There is a story about a young boy who was very dull and always performing poorly in school. As a result, he earned the nickname “dullard.” After some time, his parents got him a computer that had a lot of interactive programmes.

This boy’s teachers observed that he began to improve in class and they called him to ask him what had happened. He told them, have a computer at home that calls me “intelligent.” Wow!

I am not some old prophet who has come back to life again. I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness sayıng, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord.” John knew who he was and he refused to be called a name different from his calling and purpose. You might be thinking, What about a nickname?”

A nickname is no different. Don’t let anyone give you a label that God has not given you. Reject it and call yourself what God calls you. That is the only way to true fulfilment.

1 Stand up, stand up for Jesus

ye soldiers of the cross;

lift high his royal banner,

it must not suffer loss:

from vict’ry unto vict’ry

his army he shall lead,

’til ev’ry foe is vanquished,

and Christ is Lord indeed.

2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,

the trumpet call obey;

forth to the mighty conflict

in this his glorious day:

ye that are men now serve him

against unnumbered foes;

let courage rise with danger,

and strength to strength oppose.

3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,

stand in his strength alone;

the arm of flesh will fail you,

ye dare not trust your own:

put on the gospel armor,

each piece put on with pray’r;

where duty calls, or danger,

be never wanting there.

4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,

the strife will not be long;

this day the noise of battle,

the next the victor’s song:

to him that overcometh

a crown of life shall be;

he with the King of glory

shall reign eternally.

Pray generally as you’re led by the Spirit
