The Name that Delivers

By Min. Rebecca Orimoloye

Throughout the month of June, we have been exposed to different names of God. Today, we will focus on God’s name being the Deliverer. 

From our first bible text, we have the story of Jabez whom the bible describes as being more honorable than his brothers. 

To be an honorable person, you are someone that is seen as deserving of respect or high regard. 

The word honorable comes from the same Latin root as honor, which is honorem or honos. 

This means dignity, mark of esteem, respect or reputation. It is therefore safe to say that Jabeez was a “big deal” in the society. The level of honor that was bestowed on him was more than that of his brothers. However, something was not right. All was not quite well with this gentleman. 

Despite the fact that he was well known and honored amongst his peers, his mother called him a name that reminded her of the circumstances of his birth. When Jabez realized there was an issue, notice that Jabez didn’t go to his mother to get a fix. 

He was a victim of an issue he knew nothing about. He instead went and called upon the name of the Lord that delivers. As believers, when we begin to notice certain negative patterns in our lives, we need to call on the God of deliverance. 

No, it is not ideal to sit and wallow in pain, suffering alone and appearing as the person we are not behind closed doors. 

John 10:10 tells us that “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” We need to know, understand and believe that our God is a good God. 

He is simply too loving to let us suffer needlessly. His thoughts for us, according to Jer emiah29:11 are thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give us an expected end. 

As we call on the name that delivers, He will answer us and indeed show us great and mighty things, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen. You will have good success this 2022. Remain blessed.  Shalom.

The All - Mighty God

By Bro. Godwin Ifeanyi

Isaiah 9:6 says – “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” 

God has many names that He is known with but according to our text we will center our discussion today on one THE ALIMGHTY.  

All over the world, there are mighty Women, Men of Timber and Caliber but there is only One Person called THE ALMIGHTY GOD. 

Psalm 91:1 - “He that dwelleth in the Secret Place of the Most High shall abide under the Shadow of THE ALMIGHTY.” 

The Psalmist in the above mentioned verse  mentions two titles for God;  The Most High and The Almighty.  We want to understand the essence  of what ‘Almighty God’ means to  us. 

Human Beings, no matter how  great they are, are Limited! But  “THE ALMIGHTY” is Completely  Unlimited. 

What does  the name Almighty God mean to you?  Let us surrender to him, he’s able to control everything in my life, in our marriage, in our family, in our Career and in our business. 

He will come through for you, indeed, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen. 

You will have good success this 2022.  

Remain blessed.  Shalom.

He is Just Wonder-full

From Our Pastor's Desk

Jesus is just Wonder-full. Isaiah 9:6—”...and His name shall be called Won-derful…” Full of wonders.

 Now what are wonders? Simply put, a wonder is something that causes you to wonder. 

In other words, something you see that you open your mouth, in amazement, and you can’t close it. 

In Mark 2:1-12 when they brought a man through the roof and laid him at the feet of Jesus, a man who had been paralyzed from the neck down, Jesus just said "Get up, take your bed and go." and he got up and the people said "What is this? 

We’ve never seen it like this before!" They opened their mouths in wonder, and could not close them.  A wonder is something that causes people to open their mouths and say we have never seen it like this before. 

I believe that God will do something new in the life of somebody today. Our God is a God of wonder. Not only that, He does wonders too. In 2nd Chr.6:18 the Bible says the heaven of heavens cannot contain Him. 

Imagine someone so big that the Heaven of Heavens cannot contain and yet He lives inside a man. I know He lives inside me because in 1 John 4:4 the Bible says, “Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world” Who is in You? 

Something wonderful, amazing is going to happen to you, and you….yes, you too, today, this month, this year & beyond that when friends, relatives, enemies hear about it they will open their mouths, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen. 

You will have good success this 2022.  

Remain blessed.   

Shalom. 

June 2022 - Our Month of His Name on Earth

From our Pastor’s Desk

Welcome to this our new Month of His Name on Earth in Jesus name.  

Matthew 6:9 – “…Hallowed be thy name…” The name of the Lord should be hallowed on earth. Hallow means sanctified, consecrated, exalted.

 Philippians 2: 9-11 says “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a Name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow...And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father”  

God has given Jesus the name that is above every name. Now "highly exalted" denotes an exaltation to the highest position-an elevation above all others. 

The context conveys humiliation that results in honor. 

Jesus' obedience to death is followed by a super exalted position of honor and glory.  Mercy Seatizens, welcome to June 2022, “Our Month of His Name on Earth”. 

There is power  in the name of Jesus. The only way to get saved is by His name. Romans 10:13 says, " All who call on the name will be saved." 

This month, as you confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and God has raised Him from the dead and believe in your heart, you will be saved. 

This month, no matter what we’re going through, no matter the situation, we apply the name of Jesus by faith, bringing every knee down, and every power into subjection , in Jesus Name. 

Amen.

The Person Behind the Name

From Our Pastor’s Desk 

Matthew 16:13 –15 “When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14  And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. Then, Jesus made it personal: 15  He saith unto them, But who do you say that I am?” 

That’s the question? This is a very personal question. If Jesus were here physically and asked each of us the same question, what would be our personal responses? 

The question is not who we think Jesus is, or what the world tells us who Jesus is, but rather who is He to us. It was a very personal question. It was not theological exam. 

It was not a pop quiz. It was a personal question that required a commitment on our part, individually. This is our month of His name on earth. 

The name of Jesus is so very powerful, for application. And For us to apply that name effectively, we must know the personality behind that name. The reason some call that name & He doesn’t answer is because, they don’t know the Owner of that name and the Owner doesn’t know them. 

We can attend all the classes, conferences, Bible colleges, seminaries, Sunday Schools, Bible Studies, take notes during sermons (all these are good and important, for we grow through hearing, learning & doing), but in the end, we may not really the very person of Jesus to us.  

Jesus said of the people in Matthew 15:8–9 – “These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips, But their heart is far from me. And in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men”  

The most important question in the whole of our life concerns the Person of Christ. Who is He to you? Do you know the Person behind the name Jesus? 

I decree victory in any and every struggle or battle of life that we may be facing, in that most powerful  name of Jesus, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen. 

You will have good success this 2022. 

Remain blessed.  

Shalom.
