CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT

“And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.” Genesis 2:19 (KJV)

 

One thing we must understand in God’s dealings with his children is that the bible clearly tells us from the very beginning that we are made in the image of God. There are things that God will not do for you. In fact, if He does it, it violates His principles and the way He functions. The book of Psalm 115:16 (KJV)says: “The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s: But the earth hath he given to the children of men.” And so, your word carries power here on earth. What you say and what you call anything can either make or mar you. Understand also that if you are not careful, it is so easy in the midst of all these disasters and pressure that the enemy is bringing into our lives, to begin to call them what the devil calls them. I can only tell you that whatever you call it, God will honour it.

 

Today’s scripture says: “…out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them”. In other words, God was watching man to find out what he was going to call them, and the bible says whatsoever Adam called every living creature that was the name thereof. God did not change or alter their names. God was saying to Adam I agree with you. I have set the order in motion and I cannot violate it. I have given you authority over what I have created. So whatsoever you call it that is the name thereof. God brought all the animals and anything Adam called them God said I agree.

 

Beloved, what are you calling the situation around you? What are you calling that challenge? Call it what you want! God will honour it!
