NEW: The victorious will be given hidden manna, a white stone, and a new name - Revelation 2:17

Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the Messianic communities. To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it. Revelation 2:17

Meaning of Hidden manna, White stone, & New name:

• Hidden Manna: Refers to the spiritual sustenance that Christ, the Bread of Life, provides to the one who is victorious. Just as manna sustained the Israelites in the wilderness, the Lord Jesus sustains you now and for all eternity.
• White Stone: In ancient times, a white stone symbolized acceptance, distinction, or validation. A tangible sign of an inseparable and personal relationship with our Savior, Jesus Christ.
• New name: It signifies the evidence of a transformed identity by accepting Christ and being faithful in serving Him, no matter the cost. You are born again and made a new creation with a new life, a new mission, and new hope that is gifted to you by the Messiah. (Saul to Paul. Simon to Peter. Abram to Abraham. Sarai to Sarah. Jacob to Israel. What will your new name be?)

Prayer:
Speak, Lord Jesus, your servant is listening. As I hear Your voice of truth in this amazing prophecy, it fills my heart with living hope. I surrender my life to You, trusting in Your perfect will and power that nourishes, strengthens, and sustains me. Holy Spirit, I want to hear what You are saying to me so I may remain faithful in serving my Savior and end my life as a victorious Christian, and partake of the hidden manna, receive a white stone, and a new name. I praise and honor my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who alone is worthy.
