Is His Name Revered? by kpakpandoN(m): 6:53am On Oct 19, 2013
When in danger or in emergency,who do you call? "Some trust in chariots,and in horses:but we will remember the name of the LORD our God" Psalm 20:7. The psalmist here says some may call on chariots and some may call on horses but he will call on the Lord.If you must be victorious in life's battles,you must call on the name of Jesus purposely,deliberately,in faith and with lots of expectations.Some people use the name of Jesus without honouring Him; no wonder the name hardly works for them.If they miss a step,they shout Jesus! If the tea burns their tongue,they shout Jesus! If someone touches them from behind,they shout Jesus! The name has become an exclamation mark.Before they speak for three minutes,they will call the name several times devoid of honour.If you want that name to work for you,you must learn to call it with purpose,respect,honour and humility. One of the things God frowns at is using His name in vain.Exodus 20:7 says,"Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain;for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain". Ordinarily,you do not call the name of your father or mother anyhow.When you call their name,you do it with some sense of respect and honour.If you do so to mortals,how much more should you treat God's name with reverence? Psalm 111:9 says,"He sent redemption unto his people:he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend his name". God's name must be highly revered above all others because Philippians 2:9-11 says it has been exalted above every other name.Do you know that the way you call the name of Jesus indicates whether you have the fear of God or not? A wise person will call the name of Jesus with lots of fear and worship.If you call Him like you are calling a servant,if He answers at all,it will be out of mercy.Many of us cannot call God's servants the way we call God. What an irony! Repent,and adjust today.Begin to attach honour,fear and reverence to His name.
