THE NAME
Exodus 6:1-8
In God’s direction that was given to Moses for Pharaoh to release of the children of Israel out of bondage, God also gave power to Moses. The power that was given to Moses was the name of God: the LORD. Exodus 6:2-3, “And God spoke to Moses and said to him: ‘I 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.’” The name worked. In the end, the children of Israel came out of the bondage of over four hundred years. Pharaoh, an agent of the devil, put up all opposition in his attempt to disapprove the effectiveness and the power that is in the name of God. Moses, sent of God, moved at the word of God to make the name of the Lord God become approved to all generations. Can you think of any other name that is above the name of the Lord God? It has not been documented by anyone that the name of the Lord God is a failure. The same name yesterday is still the same name today and tomorrow and it has not stop working miracles. The name of God will not fail you if you do not fail to wait for Him to move on your behalf. It can be seen across all the pages of the Scriptures what the name of God has done. By virtue of evidences, it is clear what the name of God is doing and it is a testimony to what the name of God will do. The forces of the wicked will throw all weapons at you and the goliath in your life will come at you with every destructive weapon. Goliath in David’s life meant to kill David before David’s time was up on the face of earth. Goliath threatened, “…come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!” (1 Samuel 17:44) David was not ready to become food for the birds of heaven and as a result, he responded to Goliath with the greatest weapon on earth. David stated, “…you come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.” (1 Samuel 17:45)Can you think of where to run or hide? In this world, there is no hiding place that is safe except in the name of the Lord. Proverbs 18:10, “The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” If you have Christ, your righteousness is in Christ Jesus. Take the name of the Lord as your shelter and He will cover you. Enter into a new month with the name and you shall overcome.
Prayer for today: Glory and honor be to the Almighty name of our Lord God for He alone is God, Mighty indeed and great in battle. In this new month , all round victory shall be your portion in Jesus name.
