Ephesians 5:31-32 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church

Through the baptism of regeneration you were united or joined with the Lord Jesus Christ. And now you are ONE WITH HIM for as the scriptures have said,

” He who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with  Him.“

(I Cor 6:17)

Consider the joining that happens when a woman is married to her husband. The two now become one. She leaves behind her father’s name which she has borne for many years, and she now bears the name of her new husband. If she was called Priscilla Koomson, she would now be called Mrs Priscilla Tengey. She has put aside her old name and now responds to a new name. This union is a mystery but that is actually what happened between you and Christ.

Now, THE EXTENT OR SCOPE OF ACCESS YOU ATTAIN IS CONTINGENT ON THE WEIGHT YOUR NEW NAME CARRIES. If the husband of the new Mrs…. owns several conglomerates, she can walk into any of those places and suddenly she is treated with honor than before because of the name she bears. When people see her, they see her husband in her. There is a ONENESS and IDENTIFICATION which that union brings.

Just as the new wife leaves behind her father’s name which she has borne for many years, and takes own her husband’s name, NOW, HE THAT IS JOINED TO THE LORD IS ONE SPIRIT WITH HIM AND BEARS HIS NAME. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? AND WHAT DOES THAT ACTUALLY MEAN TO YOU? Selah!
