For His Name's Sake


Take a moment and think of all the popular names you know.....
Now think of the name Jesus!

Do you know that God can choose to act or not act for His name's sake? God honors His name that much. For instance, 1 Samuel 12:22: "For the sake of his great name, the Lord will not reject his people, because the Lord was pleased to make you his own"
For His name's sake God spared His people, the psalmist understood this principle when he said in Psalm 23:3 "He guides me along the right paths for His name's sake"
Psalm 25:11: "For the sake of your name, Lord, forgive my iniquities though it is great"
Psalm 106:8: "Yet he saved them for His name's sake, to make his mighty power known"
Isaiah 48:9: "For my own name's sake I delay my wrath, for the sake of my praise, i hold it back                          from you, so as not to destroy you completely"
1 John 2:12: "I am writing to you dear children because your sins have been forgiven on account                         of his name".

 We should be able to trust in the name of Jesus and also trust in the fact that God honors His name, the beautiful thing is that His name answers to different situations and circumstances.
Jehovah Jireh- God our provider
Jehovah Rapha- God our healer
Jehovah Shalom- God our peace
Jehovah Nissi- God our banner
Jehovah Raah- God our shepherd
God will honor His name in our lives and in whatever situation, FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE.

Yours in the walk...

OVERSHADOW

The word overshadow means to tower above or to cast a shadow over .  Its Christmas and it is important to take another look at the Christmas story. I have read this story in the bible so many times, but this year something struck me and that is the word "overshadow". Luke 1:26-38 is an account of Mary's encounter with an angel who told her she would conceive and bear a son, whose name shall be called Jesus and he will be great and will be called Son of The Most High. Mary then asked the question how all this events will take place because she was a virgin and the angel explained in  Luke 1: 35: "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of The Most High will  overshadow  you. So the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God" Now here is my understanding, when there is a purpose to be birth, when God is set to carry out an assignment through one of his own, to carry out HIS assignment and purpose which supersedes every human com...

HEAVENLY PLACES

I have just finished a bible study with the women's group from my church, we studied the book 'Armor of God ' by Priscilia Shirer. It was an interesting study and i had so many things to learn. An important lesson i learned from the bible study is about heavenly places which i am going to be sharing. I found this particular revelation very liberating for me and i pray it will be liberating for you as well. For me, there is something intimidating when the bible verse  Ephesians 6:12  is quoted  "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Scary right? look at all the forces of darkness in one sentence :) I know the next thing people say is "God is one your side" "God is fighting your battles"... But there is an understanding that you need to have, You need to have an understanding...

Sorrowful to Surrender

It's Easter and i was pondering on Jesus's days before crucifixion and after resurrection, the journey from his time in Gethsemane to Galilee was something, a lot happened in those few days before his death to days after resurrection. What is our response in times of difficulty, grief, pain and suffering?  One important lesson from this study is that God meets us in our difficult seasons.  Let's start with Jesus' experience, Jesus in a state of grief before his death, he knew what was to come and he was overwhelmed with so much sorrow. Matthew‬ ‭26‬:‭37‬-‭38 ‬ ‭ “And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. Then He said to them, “ My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me. ” Imagine the soul being sorrowful even unto death, imagine the state of mind he was in? What was his response? He prayed! Not once, not twice but he went back 3 times praying until he returned fully surr...
