After Jacob had wrestled with God, he said he won’t let Him until He blesses him. When God asked him a question, He doesn’t ask how much he wants, or about the blessings. Jacob has been blessed before and that’s what he is expecting because all his life he has learned to depend on blessings. But God says “What is Your name?” God says I know you have a lot going on, you give your tithe to the church, you come early to church, you clean the church, you sing on the worship, you are playing the band; but what is your name. Your name is what it is important at this moment. People defines us by what we have and possess, they define us by our situations, they will call you millionaire if you are rich. But God is not asking what people are saying who you are but what is your name? He changed Jacob’ name which means deceiver to Israel. This is where Israel was born, out of a man who was deceiver. When your name has changed you don’t need to go everywhere asking everyone what they think...
