Known by name or by God?

 KNOWN BY NAME OR KNOWN BY GOD

Lessons From a Trending Controversy and the Christian Race

In recent times, social media has once again been set ablaze by the controversy surrounding Blord and VeryDarkMan (VDM)—a dispute that has sparked arguments about identity, ownership, legality, and recognition. Many people have chosen sides. Others have simply watched in silence. But beyond the online noise, there lies a deeper lesson—one that quietly mirrors the state of Christianity today.

This is not about who is right or wrong. It is not about mockery or applause. It is about reflection.

When the World Fights Over Names

At the heart of the controversy is a simple yet powerful question:
Who truly owns the name?
Not by noise, not by popularity, but by legality and proof.

In the world, recognition is backed by documents, registration, and lawful ownership. You may carry a name loudly, but if it is not legally yours, the law does not recognize your claim. The internet may cheer you, but legality stands above popularity.

And here lies the spiritual mirror.

Calling Jesus vs Belonging to Jesus

Many Christians today loudly proclaim, “I am born again.”
They attend church. They sing worship songs. They quote scriptures. They wear the name Christian boldly.

But the question Scripture keeps asking is deeper:
Are we known by God, or do we only know His name?

Jesus Himself addressed this painful truth:

 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.”
 Matthew 7:21

He did not say they denied Him.
He did not say they were unbelievers.
He said they called Him Lord, yet something was missing.

The Shock of Being Rejected Despite Religious Activity

Jesus continued with a statement that should make every believer pause:

 “Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart.

💔 Why You Won’t Get Married Soon – Part 1. Unmasking the Hidden Reasons Behind Delayed Marriages. Marriage is a beautiful union, but let’s be honest, many people today are wondering why it seems to be slipping further out of reach. The truth? It's not always about timing. Sometimes, it’s about you. Let’s break it down. 🔹 1. You Have an Unrealistic List Your expectations are longer than a CV, handsome, rich, prayerful, tall, with six packs, good cook, never argues, billionaire with kingdom mindset... all in one man. Or for the brothers: a slay queen who is also a Proverbs 31 woman, prays like Hannah, sings like Sinach, cooks like your mother, and has no past. Let’s be real. You don’t want a partner, you want a divine hybrid. ✨ God blesses your desires, but not your delusions. 🔹 2. You're Afraid of Responsibility You like the idea of marriage, but not the work of marriage.

The Story of My Life – Part 1: Why I Am Still a Virgin Introduction Every person has their own journey when it comes to love, relationships, and personal choices.
