The Language, The Food And The Name

Apostle Grace Lubega

Daniel 1:3-7(KJV); And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king’s seed, and of the princes; Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king’s palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans. And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king’s meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king. Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he gave unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego

The Language, The Food And The NameKing Nebuchadnezzar’s instruction regarding certain children of Israel was that those to be chosen had to be of the king’s seed, princes and children in whom there was no blemish.

These were to be taught the language of the Chaldeans, fed on the diet of the Chaldeans and given Chaldean names.

That is the strategy of the enemy when he seeks to pervert the course of destiny for any child of God.

It is also how the systems of this world work to bring children of God constantly under bondage to them.

Christians whose language, diet and name have been changed by the enemy find themselves feeding a system yet themselves are starving; they are growing businesses while their personal lives are not improving; they are prospering the world but they themselves are not prospering.

That is not your portion, child of God!

The language of the believer is distinct. There is a manner of speech that ought to be unique to the new creature. In fact, that is why the Lord gave us tongues which are the very language of heaven and of the spirit.

Your diet is also distinctive. It is the Word of God by which you grow. Job says it was more important to him than necessary food (Job 23:12).

You have a name by God. He says in Revelation 2:17 that He will give you a new name which no man knows.

God has called you to dominion, to be the head and not the tail, to be the source of blessing and not the victim wherever you are, whether at the workplace, in school or in business.

Live your life in the consciousness of one whose language, diet and name have been defined by God.

GOLDEN NUGGET:

Live your life in the consciousness of one whose language, diet and name have been defined by God.

PRAYER: My loving God, I thank you for this truth. Everything about my life has been defined by you. I am above and not beneath in everything that I do. I am a thought leader in my sphere of influence. I set policies and define systems. To the glory of your name. Amen.
