THERE'S MORE

ADELOLA EDEMA

I don’t have many Bible names that I like, but one stands out among them; Abram. That was Abraham’s name before God changed it in Genesis 17.

I used to have a Bible that had Bible names at the back, with their meanings. I saw the meaning of Abram there then, father of honour, and I fell in love with the name since then. But as beautiful as that name is, God chose to change Abram’s name to Abraham, which means father of many nations (Genesis 17:5). God moved Abram from honour/success to impact; God enlarged his territory, starting with his name.

I believe that it’s the same way in our lives where everything seems good, and God says that there’s more. They say that opposite of best is not worst, but rather good, as having the good can limit us from reaching for the best.

Brethren, don’t let what you have now limit you from getting something greater; don’t let the beautiful environment you are now limit you from getting to somewhere better that God wants to take you to. Honour is not all that God wants for you, He wants impact. He wants you to be a blessing.
