EVERYTHING IS IN HIM – Pastor Chris
…thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name (Psalm 138:2).
Some Christians pray using names like Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Rapha, and others, drawing from the different revelations of God’s names they learnt from the Old Testament. It’s however important to realize that all the power, glory and authority that those Old Testament names signify are fully present in Jesus. If you know Jesus, you don’t need all those other names.
The totality of deity, fully and permanently resides in Jesus. The Spirit, through the Apostle Paul, reveals this in Colossians 2:9, “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” John 1:1 &14 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
The Lord Jesus is the living Word, and we read in our opening scripture that God has magnified His Word above all the revelations of His Name, and that Word is Jesus. You don’t need to call on Jehovah Rapha for healing; Jesus is your healer. You don’t need to call on Jehovah Jireh for provision; Jesus is your provider. He’s the embodiment and fulfilment of all those names.
So, get to know who the Lord Jesus is. He said, “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me” (John 5:39). When you know Him, you know God; you’ve found everything, for He’s everything. Eternal life, divine health, healing, prosperity, peace, righteousness, wisdom, strength; everything is in Him. Glory to His Name forever!
PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the unveiling of your glory in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is everything to me; He’s my life, my righteousness, my peace, my health, and my provider. I live in the fullness of Him, of His blessings and of His Kingdom because He lives in me. Hallelujah!
