DIVINE REBRANDING
MAIN TEXT: Colossians 3:9-10 “…Seeing that you have put off the old nature… and have put on the new nature which is being renewed in the knowledge after the image of its creator”
Ephesians 4:22-24 “Put off your old nature which belongs to your former manner of life…and be renewed in the spirit of your minds…”
Spiritual rebranding means that God brings a person to a new life from a previous state of separation from God and subjection to the decay of death. If anyone is truly going to be rebranded, he must go through some transformative experiences. Walking with God as described in 2 Corinthians 3:18, does a lot of soul-searching, Ephesians 4:22 and ensures that he reflects the image of Christ – Colossians 3:10.
There must be a ‘putting off’ for a rebranding to happen. The old methods of doing things that failed you should be put away if you are seriously asking for divine rebranding. Just like Jacob, who stole his brother’s birthright and fled, when he needed a rebranding, he put off the old tricky ways – this enabled him access to God which brought about a change of name to Israel ; meaning the “one who rules”.
Considering the meaning of Israel in Jacob’s life, we will understand that he was destined to rule, but he misunderstood this by the misinterpretation that came from his mother. The mother wanted to help God in accomplishing this divine mandate, but God does not need us to sin to fulfill His glorious agenda for us.
REBRANDING BRINGS A NEW CHRIST –LIKE IMAGE IN YOU
PRAYER: O Lord, give honor to my name and give me a glorious identity. Let my name give joy and help to people in Jesus’ name. AMEN
