FAITH CAPSULE: In the name of God is the all-inclusive way to become an over-comer.
Exodus 6
Without any doubt, there is no other god that shares or answers to the same name with God. He alone is the Almighty, He alone is the King of kings; the eternal rock of ages. Exodus 24:17 described God, “The sight of the glory of the Lord was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.” Hebrew 12:29 buttressed, “For our God is a consuming fire.”
Pharaoh with stone of heart rejected God’s request for the release of the children of Israel as he turned to Israelites with extra labor. The expectation of freedom became dim as Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters to inflict more labor on the people. Moses wanted to know why God added trouble on the children of Israel. God responded to Moses with assurance of a strong hand that the Israelites shall be let go. God introduced His name to Moses, “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)
Are you asking, seeking and knocking in times of trouble? Are you the one that is attempting to lead the Spirit of God or allowing the Spirit of God to lead you? The word admonished us, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.” (Matthew 7:7-8)
Concerning your challenges, call the name of God by asking, seeking and knocking. Asking, seeking and knocking are not emotional approach but an approach of expectation. It is important to get the understanding that in the name of God is the all-inclusive way to become an over-comer. When God is called, He will not only remember the caller but He will rescue the caller, He will redeem the caller from bondage. A caller of God’s name shall be delivered and be defended. To call on the name of God will cause God to visit with salvation.
Do you know His name? Knowing the name of God is different from knowing about His name. It is important to know that, “The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are safe.” (Proverbs 18:10) The name of God brought the Israelites out of the bondage of over four hundred years. God alone was in the beginning; He is the same God who will always be beyond forever. His name is the LORD!
Prayer for today: Ask God for the understanding to call on His name indeed and in truth.
