Have you called Him by His Name Lately?
Isaiah 26:4 “Trust ye in the Lord forever; for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.”
As a little boy I can remember when my mother would call me. When she called me by my first name, I usually would answer “yes Mam?”
If she called me by my first and middle name, I knew I had done something that I shouldn’t have, and there was a possibility that I was in for some type of discipline.
Researching the names of God is one of the many ways we can discover what God is like, and obtain an understanding of who He is.
Psalm 83:18 “That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth.” (KJV)
In the Old Testament, Jehovah is one of the most important names for God. When we call out the name Jehovah, we are acknowledging that this is his personal name, along with expressing His eternal and sovereign nature.
Believers can call on the name Jehovah by itself and also can be more specific for the need that they are coming to God for, by adding an attribute of God to the name Jehovah. So, I ask this question, “have you called Him by His name lately?”
If you need provision, call on the name Jehovah Jireh…
If you need healing, call on the name Jehovah Rapha…
If you need a banner, call on the name Jehovah Nissi…
If you need peace, call on the name Jehovah Shalom…
If you need a shepherd call on the name Jehovah Rohi…
If you need righteousness, call on the name Jehovah Tisidkenu…
If you need to experience God’s presence, call on the name Jehovah Shammah…
John 14:13-14 “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.” (KJV)
O God, we your people stand on Your word believing that when we call out the name “Jehovah” You hear us and will answer in Jesus name…Amen!
Continuing in His service…Rev
