Title: Choose a Good Name!

“A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.” Ecclesiastes 7:1 (KJV)

A name is a word or phrase that refers to or that can refer to a specific person, place, thing, or a type or group of things. If a good name exists, so does a bad name. Parents are encouraged to choose meaningful names for their children. They are also expected to train their children in the right way so that they can bring glory and praise to their parents (Proverbs 15:20).

Dear beloved, do things that are worthy of praise; be kind to people so that you can carve a good name for yourself (Philippians 4:8). A good name will open doors of opportunity for you; therefore, don’t compromise your Christian values and principles. Death is an opportunity to end all the toils of life and enter into eternity with the Lord; hence, it is better than one’s birth. Always do things that will bring you a good name and you will influence your generation for Christ. Hallelujah! Be an overcomer!

Prayer Point: My dear heavenly Father, thank You for educating me about a good name. Indeed, a good name brings praise to Your name and, unlike a bad name, opens doors of opportunities. Please lead and guide me to always choose a good name and do things that will bring glory and praise to Your name in Jesus’ name. Amen!
