Season of unlimited blessings

"The man asked him, 'What is your name?' 'Jacob,' he answered. Then the man said, 'Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men and have overcome.'" (Gen. 32:26,27).   God sometimes changed the name of His servants when He saved them from desperation into purpose. Peter's name was changed from Simon (unstable), to Peter (rock). Paul's name was changed from Saul (destroyer) to Paul (worker). Abraham's name was changed from Abram (noble father), to Abraham (Father of many). Sarah's name was changed from Sarai (lady, quarrelsome), to Sarah (princess of princesses, source of nations and kings).   One of the greatest gifts we have in Christ Jesus, is the gift of 'new beginnings'. In Christ, there is always an opportunity to make a fresh start; to admit our mistakes and move on; to admit to our pain to be healed; to admit to our weaknesses to be strengthened.   Jacob was true to his name. He deceived his brother out of his birthright and blessing and he ended up reaping deception and treachery from his own father in law. But, God gave him a new name and a new identity for a new season of unlimited blessings. From Jacob came the twelve tribes of Israel and Jesus the Messiah and Savior of the world. God is the God of another chance and He is only a prayer away for your new season of unlimited blessings.   Kingdom Declaration: God is my Alpha and Omega and today I step into my new season of unlimited blessings.
