For my name will be great (from the book of Genesis)


My name Robert is not found in The Bible

For my name will be great for a different reason

In the book of Genesis Chapter 12

God made Abram promises about who he'll be

The Lord told Abram in Chapter 12, verse 1-3

"Now the Lord said to Abram

Go from your country, and your kindres

and your father's house to the land that I will show you

And I will make of you a great nation

and I will bless you, and make your name great

so that you will be a blessing

I will bless those who bless you

and him who dishonors you, I will curse

and in you, all the families of the earth shall be blessed".

The Lord showed me that in this journey, the place I left was for the better

He is showing me a new land that will be known as the House of Prayer

i wasn't 75 years of age like Abram, i'm only 43 years young

My Lord showed be that i'll be a blessing to others

in not just knowing the word of God, but be the example of living life Godly.

show folks that those who do not know You Lord

that they'll know You by using me as the vessel

to testify Your truth.

for You Lord will bless those who bless me

and curse those who curse me

The families on the earth will be blessed not because of me

but You Lord in me will bless others

this is why my name will be great

not for my glory, but Yours.

Brother I to am a Christian and I give a toast Saved by Grace through Faith not of works I do not boast. I raise my hands to the heavens and i give this toast God above the heavenly host to his Son who sacrificed the most as with the holy ghost The gifts of most e are who They (Trinity) Chose. I've been writing alot lately and I feel holy fire induced to be produced hand in hand like brother s we lead this roost but not to proud and cocky but crow like a hype man from Kentucky when we see the Son inside our blessing And lay out confessions And be stead fast with our mission To be the harbinger of His message

Yes, now more than ever there is a great urgency to be a blessing for the Lord's name. To be used as His glorious vessel is the greatest gift and honor we have. What a beautiful thing to have the gift of poetry as the means by which to proclaim His Truths!
