MIGHTY NAME< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Exodus 6

After Pharaoh had rejected GodÕs request for the release of the children of Israel as presented by Moses, Moses went back to the Lord to question why the Lord had brought trouble on the children of Israel. The expectation of freedom became dim as Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters to inflict more labor on the people. God reassured Moses that a strong hand will surely prevail and the children of Israel will be let go. ÒAnd God spoke to Moses and said to him: ÕI am the LORD. 3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name LORD I was not known to them.ÕÓ (Exodus 6:2-3) Out of all the names He answers to, no other god shares or answers to the same name with God. He alone is the Almighty. All that Moses, Aaron and the children of Israel needed to hang or hold onto was the name of the Lord, but by His name He was not known to them. What you do not know will not work for you and when it is working, you will not know. This will cause you to struggle where you need to remain settle; it will cause you to rust out where you should be full of rest. The children of Israel did not know Him by His name The LORD. Proverbs 18:10, ÒThe name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are safe.Ó The writer of the Book of Proverbs was not talking about a different Lord God who repeatedly introduced His name to the children of Israel at the time of their coming out of bondage with a limited understand. He is talking about the same God who was before all the beginning; the same God who is and the same God who will always be. His name is the LORD! Have you consciously called on the name of the Lord in regards to your circumstances? It is not about emotional calling, but a call of expectation for manifestation. Asa, a king in Judah, once in a confrontational war, did not hesitate to call on the name of the Lord, ÒAnd Asa cried out to the LORD his God, and said, ÒLORD, it is nothing for You to help, whether with many or with those who have no power; help us, O LORD our God, for we rest on You, and in Your name we go against this multitude. O LORD, You are our God; do not let man prevail against You!Ó (2 Chronicles 14:11) Can you get the understanding now that the name of the Lord is the entire weapon that will make you to become an over-comer? When you call on Him, He will not only remember you, but He will rescue you from bondage and redeem you with His outstretch hand. When you know to call on His name, He will deliver you and defend you. Calling on His name requires knowing Him and knowing Him can be challenging. Know to call on the Lord in the name of Jesus Christ and you will be known as a winner to the glory of God.
