THE REDEMPTIVE NAMES OF GOD
Memorise: And she shall bring
forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people
from their sins. Matthew 1:21
Read: Exodus 6:2-8, Bible in
one year: 1st Kings 18:1-19:18, Proverbs 19:5-18
Our God is the only one that
has the ability to save to the uttermost. He has many redemptive names which include:
Jehovah El-Shaddai, Jehovah Rophekah, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah
Shalom and Jehovah Rohi. The name Jehovah El-Shaddai, reveals God as the
Almighty; the all in all (Acts 17:28). God is more that enough to nourish you,
strengthen you and to supply all of your needs (Philippians 4:19). The name
Jehovah Ropheka means the Lord our Healer. Christ is still in the business of
healing His people today. Just as He healed in the Bible days, He can as well
heal today, because there is nothing like the age miracles, but rather we have
the God of miracles. Are you in need of healing? Call on Jehovah Ropheka and
you will be healed. Another redemptive name of God is Jehovah Nissi. This
simply means the Lord our Banner, or the Lord our Victor. Our God is the One
who can give us all-round success and victory over all circumstances. To really
overcome the world, the devil, sin and self, you must be born-again. It is when
you are genuinely born-again that God will be in position to fight your battles
for you. God is also the Jehovah Jireh. This redemptive name means the Lord
will give or provide. God can still provide for all your needs today as He did
in time past. All that He requires from you is faith.
The Lord is also our
Sanctifier – Jehovah Mekaddishkem. In the days of spiritual decadence and
social degeneration, the need for believers to be sanctified cannot be
over-emphasised. God is also Jehovah Shalom. He is the Lord our Peace. Jesus
Christ is the Prince of Peace, and it is only those who have surrendered their
all to God that can experience peace indeed. Are you born-again? Are you living
in peace or tumult? Examine your life today? The last but not the least
redemptive name is Jehovah Rohi. This name means the Lord my Shepherd (Psalm
23:1). To yield your life to God as your Shepherd, you will need to accept Him
as your personal Lord and Saviour. He will then become your Shepherd and you
will be His sheep. God knows his sheep, and His sheep know him (John 10:14). If
you regard Jesus as your Shepherd, you will stop doing thing without His
express permission. It is then that you can enjoy the benefits due to a sheep
(Psalm 23:1-6). The good Shepherd will ensure that there is no want in your
life. He will protect you and guarantee your safety. He will bless you
abundantly and you will obtain favour of God and men. Are you born-again,
because God will not be your shepherd, heal you, give you peace of mind,
provide for all your needs, give you victory over all your enemies, nor
guarantee your safety until you are born again.
