FAITH CAPSULE: It is not about emotional calling, but a call of expectation for manifestation.

Exodus 6

After Pharaoh has rejected God’s request for the release of the children of Israel as presented by Moses, Moses went to question the Lord about why He 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. “And God spoke to Moses and said to him: ’I am the LORD. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name LORD I was not known to them.’” (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 hold onto was the name of the Lord. Knowing about His name is different from knowing His name. Do you know His name? Proverbs 18:10, “The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are safe.” The writer of the Book of Proverbs was talking about the Lord God who repeatedly introduced His name to the children of Israel and brought them out of the bondage of over four hundred years. 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, “And Asa cried out to the LORD his God, and said, “LORD, 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!” (2 Chronicles 14:11) It is important to get the understanding 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 to call on Him will cause Him to visit you with salvation.
Prayer for today: Ask God to help you with the understanding in knowing to call on His name indeed and in truth.
