“The opening of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.” Psalm 119:130
God, in His infinite goodness, always acts in a benevolent manner. Before acting, He always sends His word.
"He will not suffer your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber." Psalm 121:3
God is a good Father.
"Now to him who is able to do abundantly more than all that we ask or imagine, according to the power that works within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever! Amen!" Ephesians 3:20
God's power is infinite, and nothing is impossible for Him. However, the extent of this omnipotence depends on our own relationship with Him , the way we seek Him, and the spiritual dimension we explore .
God is a Father who wants to have deep relationships with His children.
JEHOVAH JIREH = God provides
"Abraham lifted up his eyes, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in his son's stead." Genesis 22:13
God tested Abraham's faith by asking him to sacrifice his son Isaac. At the last moment, God provided a ram as a replacement, showing His providence and faithfulness .
When God’s word is spoken, His providence is activated. When God guides, His provision is always true. Before the blessing comes, you may experience times of pain and suffering, like Abraham. However, as soon as you obey, God provides !
JEHOVAH NISSI = the Eternal my banner or my standard
"12 And when Moses' hands were weary, they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat upon it: and Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on this side, and the other on that side. And his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. 13 And Joshua smote Amalek and his people with the point of the sword. 14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this in a book, for a memorial, and tell Joshua that I will blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. 15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name thereof, The LORD my banner." Exodus 17:12-15
Moses, Aaron, and Hur were on the hilltop during the battle between the Israelites and the Amalekites. God sent His word . When Moses raised his hands, the people were winning, but when he lowered them, the people were losing.
Moses gave the name of the Lord my standard.
JEHOVAH SHALOM = Eternal peace
"23 And the LORD said to him, Peace be to you; fear not; thou shalt not surely die. 24 And Gideon built an altar there to the LORD, and called it the name of the LORD Peace. To this day there are Abiezrites in Ophrah." Judges 6:23-24
God sent His word to Gideon when he had an encounter with the angel of the Lord. God reassured Gideon and gave him peace. Gideon gave the name The Lord Peace.
JEHOVAH ROHI = the Lord my shepherd
"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want." Psalms 23:1
David, the youngest and humblest, watched over his father's sheep, even facing lions to protect them.
David gave the name of The Lord my shepherd.
JEHOVAH EL-ROY = the God who sees
Genesis 16:8: "He said to her, Hagar, Sarai's handmaid, where do you come from? and where are you going? She said, I am fleeing from Sarai my mistress."
Genesis 16:13: "And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou art the God that seeth me: for she said, Here have I seen him that seeth me."
The servant Hagar had fled from the house of Abram and Sarai. She meets the angel of the Lord in the wilderness, where she receives a divine promise and recognizes that God sees her and cares for her, even in her difficult situation . Hagar gave the name of the Lord the God who sees.
After the various experiences they had, each of these people was able to give God a name. Being prepared to face life’s challenges involves recognizing that we serve a living God, and this requires an ability to witness to this . However, this authentic response comes from a close relationship with God. As we actively seek God, He reveals Himself to us , creating a deep and meaningful closeness.
Who is God in your life?
God says: I AM who you desire Me to be for you.
God seeks men who thirst for Him.
In order to obtain direction, it is essential to receive the Rhema, the revealed word of God . The Bible teaches us that His word is light (Psalm 119) and that the revelation of the Lord is clear .
When we receive the revealed word of God, we must be willing to accept it and put it into practice. For God accomplishes nothing without His word.
For us who seek God with all our hearts, it is up to us to select the words that resonate with the season we are in. The word is for anyone who is ready to receive it. Let us be bold and determined to appropriate God’s word for ourselves.
The Word of God is liberating, powerful, life-giving, healing, straightening, and a source of life.
Seize it in all circumstances.
How can we get revelation?
When we enter into prayer, we enter the spiritual realm, where different voices can be heard, including the devil’s. Discerning God’s voice is crucial. Just as the devil tempted Jesus using God’s word, it is essential to understand how to distinguish God’s voices.
Loving prayer, God’s Word, and His presence are essential. Not just praying, but developing a deep love for prayer. God’s Rhema, a revealed Word, remains unalterable in your heart, and God is always working through it.
It is this word that guides your steps, and it is in it that miracles take shape in your life. Cultivating this love and deep connection with God allows you to experience His guidance and transforming power.
God will work in your life according to what you believe He can accomplish. Likewise, the extent of His intervention depends on the name you give Him, the way you call Him, and the regard you have for Him. This flows from your faith and the way you grasp His word.
Jesus, knowing the Father, remained at peace even in the midst of the storm. He reveals to us a God who is infinitely rich in resources and able to meet all our needs . Cultivating a deep understanding of God and His power allows us to remain calm even in difficult times, because we serve a God who is all-sufficient.
The name of Jesus is powerful.
Constantly call this name into your life. This name has the power to save, to liberate. Let us appropriate this name, let us aspire to reflect the nature of this name in our lives.
