Selecting a Christian name or a Biblical baby name for your child is an important decision for all Christian parents to be. The chosen baby name or Bible name can affect the child's perception of itself and of others. It reflects both the beliefs and the culture of the parents.
For 2000 years, Christian parents have been selecting baby names after people in the Bible. Now at the turn of the twenty first century, this tradition reflecting our great Christian heritage is fading away as new fashionable baby names have appeared. We as Christian parents have a responsibility to God and to our children as to what kind of name we choose for them.
God does not joke with names.
I notice in the bible how God sent his angel to some people with special message of miracle conception. In some cases he also gave names to the Angel to bring to those parents what he wanted the child born to be called. God did not permit the choice of the names of those children to their parents. He chose those babies names himself.
Over the last few years it has been on my mind to write more articles on names as it has come to my spirit that there are names that could actually hinder people from maximising the best that God has for them in life.
What Is In A Name?
There is power of agreement in a name. God said in Matthew 18:19 "if two shall agree as touching anything on earth it shall be done unto them." Let's say your name means misfortune, deserted empty, fugitive, each time someone calls you such a name and you answer "yes!" unconsciously you are establishing a spiritual principle that, that is who and what you are. You are agreeing with your name for your name is you. You are likely to become what your name means.
At times a bad name can bring tough times into your life and you may even be Wondering why things are the way they are for you. Now I am not saying bad things does not happen to people with good names. I am saying that with a name like "Misfortune", you are more likely to see more misfortune in your life than one whose name is Blessing or Lucky.
The truth is that your name can establish your destiny. So parents pray and then choose wisely when it comes to choosing a name for your baby. Make sure you get enough information about baby names and meanings before you choose that all important baby name. God bless you.
