The Covenant of Name II


June 23

Text: Gen.22:1-14;          More Lessons: Exo.3:14-15

Names are covenants which bring an agreement between you and something. So be careful about who gives you a name and how the name affects your life. Some people use names which have
little or no meaning or just pick names from novels and movies. Such don't provide any covenant authority to use for result. You need to bear names that have meanings you can explore to attain great heights in ministry and business or victory in the battles of life.

All the names of God came out of relationship with God and in crisis situations, e.g the  revelation names of God, Jehovah-Rapha, Nissi, Jireh, Sikeenu, Shamma, Sabboath. Men sought God in times of trouble, the answers or solutions that God gave were given names which we 
now use to call God.

For example, Jehovah-Jireh came out of provision in a time of desperate need and it is a  covenant name signifying an agreement between man and God. Anytime you call Jehovah-Jireh, the 
computer in Heaven begins to read; you are calling on history to repeat itself in provision of God and then solution comes in response to an agreement between God and man to provide again as He did before.

As God's children, we have an established relationship with the Almighty, an assurance that what God did in the days of old can be done again. However, such results don't happen without  a covenant agreement. People who enjoyed the privilege had a personal relationship with God, which they serviced, and thus each time there was a problem help came mysteriously. If you want to have an encounter like Abraham had in the provision of God, first establis a relationship with the God of Abraham.

Prayer/Action
  Invoke Heaven to repeat the following covenant names in your life:
* Jehovah-Jireh - Gen. 22:14
* Jehovah- Elshaddai - Ex. 6:3
* Jehovah-Sabaoth - Jam. 5:4
* Jehovah-Ebenezar - I Sam. 7:12
* Jehovah-Nissi - Ex. 17:15
* Jehovah-Shallom - Judges 6:24
