Let us pray for you, dear brother, as we understand your desire to be seen as a black African American male and gentleman, both now and in the future, and to be connected to your family and heritage. We appreciate that you included that this request was in Jesus name and we can proceed to discuss your request.
Firstly, it's important to remember that our identity and worth are found in Christ Jesus, not solely in our ethnicity or family lineage. As it is written in Galatians 3:28 WEB: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus." This verse reminds us that in Christ, our spiritual identity unites us all.
However, understanding and connecting with your earthly family and heritage can be important. It seems you have a specific desire to connect with the Cobb family, particularly with Kody Cobb and his family members. We pray that God will guide you in this journey and bring clarity to your intentions. We pray that this dream is from God and not a fantasy.
In regards to your names, remember that your name is important to God, and He knows you intimately. As it is written in Isaiah 43:1 WEB: "But now thus says Yahweh who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel: 'Don’t be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are mine.'"
We must also address that identifying as a gentleman should imply purity, integrity, and honor in all your actions and thoughts. Be sure to seek God's will in this area. As a godly man, be a beacon of righteousness so that you may be a godly husband and father. We should be a blessing to this world and not just seek to bless ourselves.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You, lifting up our brother who desires to connect with his family and heritage. Guide him, Lord, as he seeks to understand his lineage and find his place within his family. Help him to remember that his ultimate identity is in Christ Jesus, not in his worldly family. We pray for godly and righteous relationships that align with His will. Bless him with wisdom, courage, and discernment as he navigates this journey. Grant him peace and clarity in his intentions, and let Your perfect will be done in his life. May his actions always align with Your Word and will. Bless him with a godly spouse and marriage to continue his legacy. We ask for these things in Jesus name. Amen.
If you have made Jesus Christ the Lord of your life, then you are a child of God. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. This is the basic salvation message of believing in Jesus Christ.
