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. 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 and she now bears the name of her husband. If she was called Linda Koomson, she would now be called Mrs Linda Tengey. She has put aside her old name and now responds to her new name. This union is a mystery but that is actually what happened between you and Christ.
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.
NOW, HE THAT IS JOINED TO THE LORD IS ONE SPIRIT WITH HIM AND BEARS HIS NAME. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU? Selah!
