What Is Your Name? - Pastor Michael A. Oke » TACN LAWNA Public Relations

Text Mark 5: 9

And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.

Opening Message:
Until a man rejects what his name is not, your life will continue to suffer rejection.
Mark 5: 9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
The man said, his name was Legion. Was his name Legion? No. But he admitted because his real name had been replaced.
Do you know that there are names you should reject today, otherwise, those names can influence your entire life.
Therefore, why can’t you say:
1. My name is not a failure.
1. My name is not a sick one.
1. My name is not sorrow.
1. My name is the barren woman etc.
Any name called of you that is not from the mouth of God will be changed in this revival in Jesus’ name.
Isaiah 62:4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, (my delight is in her) and thy land Beulah (a ruler): for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. (be celebrated)
In this revival, the almighty God will give you a new name. and He will be the first to announce the name, after that, other people will henceforth call you the name.
Isiah 62:2 And… thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.
Therefore, let everybody cry to God and say, my father, my father, give my life a new name.

WHEN THE DEVILS ARE AT WORK, A NAME CAN BE AFFECTED.
One thing is certain, the devils (Satan) cannot change your name but they can replace it with an ugly situation which people will now see and use as an appellation.
When an evil spirit is in you, the spirit can afflict you by overturning your real name to an undesired name.
Today, the evil spirit that has brought another appellation to your life will be cast out of you in Jesus’ name.
You need to stop the works of the devils in your life so that your story will change as explained in the life of the man of Gadarene.
When the devils were at work in the life of the man, the following happened:
The inhabitant of the house became the inhabitant of the tomb.
- There is a spirit in you who refused your settlement all these days.
The strong man (who would have been strong for God) started using his strength to injure himself.
The man became uncontrollable – He was cutting himself with stones, no one could tame him.
- Somebody is listening to me, the strength which God gives you is what you are using to fornicate and to do all sorts of things that injure your life and salvation.
- This is the reason why your name is now changed to a womanizer or a fornicator or adultery.
When the devils were in the man, he said; ‘ What have I to do with Jesus?’
- The spirit some people possess has made them work against God. Hence, they are called ‘the Injurious’
The man worshipped Jesus despite the demons in him.
- It is possible you attend service with all the evil spirits in you but the service is not acceptable. That’s another name – the labor loss worshippers.
The evil spirits made the man call himself what he’s not.
Are you ready to reject what you are not?
When the evil spirits left the man, he came back to his senses and shortly sat with Jesus.
Today, evil spirits will be cast out of you, and the Holy Spirit will possess you, and your name will be changed from ‘the possessor of Demons to the possessor of the Holy Spirit.’

FOUR THINGS TO DO TO HAVE YOUR NAME CHANGED TONIGHT
Disagree and Reject to bear the name which is not from the mouth of God for you.
- God does not call you a thief, scammer, fraudster, smoker, fornicator, or kidnapper, how would you continue to live your life in such an identity?
- Today is the day when the almighty God will give you a new name.
Agree and Accept to surrender your life to God today.
- There are many days in the life of human beings, but the day one gives his life to God is a day when a new name will be given to the person.
Be ready to fight the devil – as your spiritual eyes will be open to see the manipulations he has done against your life.
- From tonight, you will no longer succor to the devil anymore, hence you depart totally from him and all his works in your life.
Surrender yourself for salvation – because when you are saved first (that is when your sins are washed away) the other spirits in you will give way for the Holy Spirit to come in.
- Great! When the Holy Spirit comes in, certainly, you will be given a new name.

THE POINT OF DEMONSTRATION
Many souls will be won today – even those who have been in the church for many years but have not yet been saved.
Many names will be changed today because a lot of people have seen that they need to reject the name that is not from the mouth of God for them.
Many demonic spirits will be cast out tonight as the Holy Spirit will come into us to give the ready mind a new name.
Now that your mind is ready, the Holy Spirit too is ready.
