Names of God

  The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe - Proverbs 18:10.

                God’s names represent who He is to us. He is our provider, healer, banner, sanctification, peace, righteousness and shepherd.

• Jehovah-jireh: “the Lord will provide”

                   And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided” - Genesis 22:14

• Jehovah-rapha: “the Lord who heals”

                   If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you - Exodus 15:26.

• Jehovah-nissi: “the Lord is my banner”

                  And Moses built an altar and called its name, The-Lord-Is-My-Banner - Exodus 17:15

• Jehovah-m’kaddesh: “the Lord who sanctifies”

             And you shall keep My statutes, and perform them: I am the Lord who sanctifies you - Leviticus 20:8.

• Jehovah-shalom: “the Lord is peace”

                 So Gideon built an altar there to the Lord, and called it The-Lord-Is-Peace. To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites - Judges 6:24.

• Jehovah-tsidkenu: “the Lord our righteousness”

                 In His days Judah will be saved, And Israel will dwell safely; Now this is His name by which He will be called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS - Jeremiah 23:6.

• Jehovah-rohi: “the Lord our shepherd”

                The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want - Psalm 23:1.

• Jehovah-shammah: “the Lord is there”

                All the way around shall be eighteen thousand cubits; and the name of the city from that day shall be: THE LORD IS THERE”- Ezekiel 48:35.

                                                


PRAYER: Dear Lord, Your name is above all names. We thank You for being our provider, healer, banner, sanctification, peace, righteousness and shepherd. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
