Praying God’s Names the Bible Way
Jehovah Sabaoth
“For this purpose have I raised you up,” the Lord holily
declared to Pharaoh, “that I may show forth my power in you.” This was the
singular reason for which Pharaoh was raised. That Jehovah Sabaoth might demonstrate
his power throughout the whole earth.
Romans 9:17
For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same
purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my
name might be declared throughout all the earth.
Jehovah Sabaoth is still at work on the earth today. Some
people need the manifestation of Jehovah Sabaoth so that they can hear him and
honour him. There are some people around your life today that all that they
need is for Jehovah Saboath to show forth his power so that they can leave you
alone.
In simple terms, the word Jehovah Sabaoth means the Lord of
powers. It was the manifestation of Jehovah Sabaoth in the wilderness when he
appeared in the cloud by day and fire by night. Or the dividing of the red sea.
Even the creation of the earth, and the epoch-making of mankind. To which of
the manifestation of Jehovah Sabaoth should I rely? They are too numerous to
mention. And for brevity, I won’t go into that. But what I want you to
understand as you go through the pages of this book and read about the name
Jehovah Sabaoth, is to know that God is a God of powers. And what should
interest you is how this power will manifest in your life for your deliverance
and for the deliverance of your family or those who are connected to you. The
Bible tells us that, can a man carry fire in his bosom and then not be burnt?
Why should I be connected with Jehovah Sabaoth, the God of powers and still be
bereft of power in my life? Power to heal the sick or deliver the oppressed or
cast out devils. No wonder the Bible says, the kingdom of God suffered violence
and only the violent take it by force. How do the violent take it? Through the
manifestation of Jehovah Sabaoth.
And how do you get in touch with this Jehovah Saboath and
the manifestation of his power. I will give you an example from the man of God,
Dr Pastor Paul Enenche who said, a metal can magnet other metals if it has been
around a magnetic field for a while. The metal will simply acquire magnetic
powers because it has been around the magnet. Take the metal away from the
magnet, it will magnetise other metals. This is what happens to every believer
when we spend time in the presence of Jehovah Sabaoth, we magnetise his type of
nature and even when we are not in his presence can demonstrate his power. I
will give you an example of an incident that happened shortly after I graduated
from University. I can’t remember precisely what took me back to Benue State
University, Makurdi, Nigeria. It was sunny, and the sun was bearing its heat on
all those who were under its canopy. We were sitting under a tree in one of the
University parks when all of a sudden, a student stood up, his eyes and hands pointing
towards the sun and shouted, almost collapsing to the ground. Everyone
including the security of the campus ran away. I was sitting some inches away
from the student. I felt this was more spiritual than a physical attack. I went
towards the student when everyone was running away from him spoke in tongues
and prayed in the name of Jesus taking authority over the powers of darkness
that were trying to cause a scene in that serene park. Why did I have the
boldness to pray in the name of Jesus and went to help that boy when everyone
ran away from him, I have been in contact with Jehovah Sabaoth, the God of
powers. So it was easy for me to manifest his power.
Friends, spending time in the presence of God is not a
waste. Although society makes you feel that you need to be on the move all the
time, with no time left to spend at the foot of your master, it is a lie. This
is the reason why many believers are bereft of the powers of Jehovah Sabaoth.
If you haven’t spent time with him, how can you manifest his nature, Jehovah
Sabaoth? I pray that God will give us the grace and discipline to stay in the
place of prayer and fellowship in the name of Jesus.
Reflection
Exodus 15:11
Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like
thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
Exodus 9:16
And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to
shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the
earth.
Prayer
Dear Lord, I want to thank you for the revelation of your
word that has opened a new vista of understanding to me of the name Jehovah Sabaoth.
Thank you, Lord, in Jesus name.
Heavenly Father, I come before you today with the full
understanding of your word that you are Jehovah Sabaoth, and I trust you that
your name Jehovah Sabaoth will begin to manifest in my life from today
henceforth in the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, I have seen from your word that a man
cannot carry fire in his bosom and then not be burnt. I cannot be connected to
you as Jehovah Sabaoth and lack power in my life. I make demands that whatever
I need to do so that your power will manifest in my life, give me the grace to
do those things now in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, You have shown me through the revelation that I
have learnt through the pages of this book, that Pharaoh was destroyed through
the manifestation of the power of Jehovah Sabaoth. Herod was killed by an
angel, to show him that there is a Jehovah Sabaoth. Anything, person, power,
authority, that needs the demonstration of the power of Jehovah Sabaoth, let
them see it today, and the glory will return to you in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I make demands for the discipline to spend time
with you in the place of prayer so that I can contain the nature of God –
Jehovah Sabaoth, the Lord of powers in my life in the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, if there is anything in my life that needs
the manifestation of Jehovah Sabaoth so that the glory goes to you, let the
manifestation happen now in the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, it was the manifestation of Jehovah Sabaoth
that prevented Abimelech from snatching the wife of Abraham. It was the
manifestation of Jehovah Sabaoth that prevented Laban from harming Jacob when
he fled from him. I make demands today that every witchcraft priest, priestess,
voodoo, or household witchcraft that requires the manifestation of Jehovah Sabaoth
in my life and family, let that name manifest today in the name of Jesus.
Thank You, Jehovah Sabaoth, for answering me at this hour.
You are worthy of all the praise and the glory in the mighty name of Jesus.
Jehovah Akal Esh
Jehovah Akal Esh is a Hebrew word for God the consuming
fire. In the Scriptures, there are different ways that God manifested himself
as Jehovah the consuming fire. The consuming fire of Jehovah is sometimes
poured out as a help for the people of God, or the consumption of the enemies
of God’s people.
Moses and Jehovah Akal Esh
When God wanted to reveal this dimension of himself as the
consuming fire to Moses, a man that would be sent to rescue the Israelites from
the bondage of Egypt, he appeared to him in a burning Bush. It was not only the
bush that was burning, but the leaves of the bush remained green, it wasn’t
consumed.
Exodus 3:2-3
And the angel of the Lord
appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he
looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
And Moses said, I will now turn
aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
There are times that the judgemental fire of God will come amid
people but it will single out a person that is meant to receive that judgement.
That was why we saw in the Bible that the bush was burning, but it wasn’t
consumed. When Jehovah Akal Esh is making a visitation through his consuming
fire, the fire will only consume the person that is supposed to receive that
judgement. It was the same thing that happened to Jonah when he was in the boat
(Jonah 1:4-5). The moment Jonah was
thrown into the water, everywhere became calm. He was the only recipient of
that judgement which was why everything became calm after he was cast into the
water.
Elijah and Jehovah Akal Esh
Elijah on the Mount of Carmel prayed to God and fire came
down from heaven and consumed everything that was upon the altar meant to
receive that judgemental dimension of God’s fire.
1 Kings 18:38-39
Then the fire of the Lord
fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones,
and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and
they said, The Lord, he is the
God; the Lord, he is the God.
What does this mean? The judgemental fire of God can come
and consume everything, and everybody to whom the fire was directed. A good
example of this is, when a group of people are planning to attack your life.
Maybe they are in the coven of witchcraft planning to destroy you, the fire of
God can come upon all of them and consume them.
2 Kings 1:10
And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be
a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy
fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
Remember the encounter that Elijah had with the soldiers
that were sent to arrest him. The Bible says fire came from heaven and consumed
the captain and his fifty. None of them was left alive all of them were
consumed.
Friends, understand that whenever you are praying the name
Jehovah Akal Esh, this is the revelation that you should have in your mind.
That the fire of God can consume either a particular person that needs to
receive that fire of God or can consume everyone whose hand is tainted with
evil against your life.
Jehovah Akal Esh and the Holy Ghost
Interestingly, one of the symbolic representations of the
Holy Ghost in the Bible is fire. So the Holy Ghost also has his fire. During
the introduction of the Holy Ghost in the New Testament shortly after the
departure of Jesus on the earth, he came on the day of Pentecost and cloven
tongues of fire sat upon the disciples.
Acts 2:3
And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I
be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy
fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
Acts 2:3
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire,
and it sat upon each of them.
Fire is another dimension of God that Jehovah Akal Esh can
manifest in your life to help you fulfil a divine purpose. In the life of the
disciples, it was for them to be able to fulfil a divine purpose. In the Old
Testament, it was Jehovah Akal Esh who released judgemental fire upon the
recipient of the judgement. In the New Testament, we have the fire resident in
us, the Holy Ghost, and we can release that same fire on those who need it. I
wrote a book titled, The Hidden Mystery behind Praying the Fire of God. If you
want a deeper understanding of praying the fire of God, you can get the book.
Whenever you pray the fire of God under the present dispensation since the one
who gives the fire now lives in us, the Holy Ghost, you may not physically see
fire the way Elijah saw it. The manifestation of the fire of God may take
different dimensions under the administration of the Holy Ghost. When Peter was
allowed to demonstrate the type of fire that will come out of the life of a
believer, he did it against Ananias and Sapphira.
Acts 5:3-5
But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to
lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was
sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in
thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the
ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
They both lied to the Holy Ghost and were consumed by the
fire of God. Did that fire manifest physically? Of course, no! But that fire
destroyed their lives that was why they both died. That is why the believer can
pray the fire of God upon his life, upon the lives of those who won’t let you
rest, and even on powers and principalities. This is a beautiful dimension that
God has given to us, the privilege of carrying the one who releases the fire
from heaven right in our lives – the Holy Ghost!
Friends that is what Jehovah Akal Esh means. If you can use
this based on the understanding of this revelation, your life will change.
Reflection
Hebrews 12:29
For our God is a consuming fire.
Deuteronomy 9:3
Understand therefore this day, that the Lord thy God is he
which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he
shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and
destroy them quickly, as the Lord hath said unto thee.
Prayer
Jesus, thank you for the privilege of understanding this
revelation that you have given to me. To you be all the glory and the honour in
the name of Jesus
Glorious Father, I come before you today for the grace and
the understanding to make effective use of the name Jehovah Akal Esh, the
consuming fire in my prayer this moment in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I make demands for the release of your
consuming fire at this moment to come upon every power, principality, and authority
that has prevented me from having rest in my life and family in the name of
Jesus.
Holy Father, anywhere that my name is being called in the
realm of the spirit for an evil purpose, I make demands that Jehovah Akal Esh,
the consuming fire will release his fire upon the people, and the place where
my name is being called in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I have come to understand from the revelation
of your word that Jehovah Akal Esh can manifest his fire to destroy only a
particular person in a particular place. If the fire can come upon the bush,
but its leaves remained untouched, then that fire can come into my family to
consume everyone involved in all forms of evil practices in the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, I come before you today to make demands
that Jehovah Akal Esh, the consuming fire will release that fire to burn off
every generational curse in my family line in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, everything in my life that is not a true
reflection of God, I make demands today that the consuming fire of God will
burn it out in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, any meeting that is taking place in my name in
the realm of the spirit or because of me, in the same way, that the consuming
fire of Jehovah Akal Esh came down upon the altar and consumed everything upon
it, that is how I make demands on the fire to consume that meeting and everyone
involved in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I pray today that everyone involved in any
affliction that I am currently undergoing, I pray today that Jehovah Akal Esh
will release his fire upon them in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, in the same way, that the Holy Ghost, another
dimension of Jehovah Akal Esh came down upon the disciples with cloven tongues
of fire so that they began to speak in tongues, that is how I make demands for
the fire of the Holy Ghost now to burn out every form of infirmity in my body
in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, anything that is resisting my life from moving
forward, let your consuming fire burn it in the name of Jesus.
Glorious Father, I make demands for the release of the
consuming fire of God to burn out every roadblock that has been placed on my
way to serve as a hindrance for me in life in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, let your fire refine me from the crown of my
head to the soles of my feet in the name of Jesus.
Thank you, Jehovah Akal Esh, for hearing and answering my
prayers for the manifestation of Jehovah Akal Esh. To you be all the glory and
honour in the name of Jesus.
Jehovah Rapha
Kenneth Hagin, of blessed memory, one of his books that I
have read gave the detailed story of a man who was having so much money yet,
was living as a beggar. At the time of the death of the man, $23,000 was
discovered from him although he lived as a beggar. And the $23,000 of then it’s
a lot of money now. It will be a sad scene to behold where someone dies of
thirst in an ocean of drinking water. Or someone complaining of hunger in an
environment laced with an abundance of food.
I gave you this example above to paint a picture in your
mind. That you cannot be connected to God yet be lacking in health. If you are
reading this book right now and watching TV or distracted by anything, I want
you to turn it off. I’m about to tell you something very important that you’ll
never forget for the rest of your life. It is never the desire of God for you
to be his child connected to him and redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, in the
abundance of his provision for your health for you to need health. If you
didn’t hear that, I won’t mind repeating it. God wants you to be healthy all
the days of your life because he is your Jehovah Rapha. Healing is the bread of
the children of God and it is the desire of God for all of his children to be
in health. The Bible says above all things that thou mayest prosper in health.
God wants us to excel in the prosperity of health. Without sound health, it is
impossible to fulfil the plan and the purpose of God for your life. Without
health, you can’t enjoy the blessings of God poured from heaven over your life.
Jehovah Rapha means God my healer. It means that every time
that you are sick you can make demands on Jehovah Rapha to heal you.
Exodus 15:26
And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the
Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear
to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these
diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord
that healeth thee.
And this healing is not for you alone, it’s also for those
who are connected or associated with you. In one of our books which we
published, Releasing the Power of The Blood of Jesus, we went into the details
of what it is for a believer to enjoy peace. And God made us understand that
the peace that we enjoy as believers is connected to the people that are
related to us by blood or family line. It means that, if one of your family
members is sick or in need of help, you will be affected isn’t it? Of course,
you will. You may be called upon to become a caregiver in certain
circumstances. May that never be your portion in the name of Jesus. So the
healing that Jehovah Rapha provides is not only for you alone, you can make
demands on God to heal a family member that requires divine healing.
Which is the reason why we pray to God to give us our daily
bread. What are you praying for when you say God give me my daily bread, you
are also making demands on God to give you your daily health, and daily
healing.
If you are sick, and it doesn’t matter what type of
sickness, the healing balm of Gilead is available to heal you. We are praying
shortly, and I believe that Jehovah Rapha will manifest himself in your life.

Malachi 4:2
But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness

Prayer
Lord, I want to thank you for the revelation of your word
which you have graciously given to me today concerning the name of God as
Jehovah Rapha. To you be all the glory and the honour in the name of Jesus.
Gracious Father, I stand before you and lay hold on my
authority as the son of Jehovah Rapha. I take authority over every spirit of
infirmity and sickness, and I bind the spirit out of my life never to return in
the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, I come before you to make demands on
Jehovah Rapha for the healing… (Mention the particular infirmity that is
attacking your health) to manifest speedily in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, You have said in your word that healing is the
bread of the children, and I have also seen from your word that you will
provide for us our daily bread. I make demands on the power of that revelation
from the word of God that my healing manifests to me speedily at this moment
from Jehovah Rapha in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, if this infirmity is a result of any form of
witchcraft, voodoo, spell, incantation, the work of demonic priest and
priestess, or human priest or priestess, strong man or woman in my family, I
ask today that your fire will come upon them for destruction in the name of
Jesus.
Holy Father, You have said in your word that whatever the
Lord does, it is forever. I ask today that as Jehovah Rapha has healed me of
this infirmity, it shall be permanent in my life in the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, I make demands today on Jehovah Rapha that
he will carry out a spiritual surgery upon my bloodline and cleanse it of every
form of generational infirmity from now and forever in the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, every mark of spiritual infirmity that has
been imparted into my family from the kingdom of darkness, I make demands on
Jehovah Rapha that the mark is deleted forever in the name of Jesus.
Gracious Father, every form of wrong identity that men have
given to me as a result of continual infirmity that I have been suffering, I
make demands today on Jehovah Rapha and the power of the blood of Jesus to heal
me from the crown of my head down to the soles of my feet in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, you have said in your word that he that digs a
pit shall fall into it. And he that rolls a stone, shall return to him. Where
ever this infirmity came from I return it to the sender in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, now that you have set me free from the spirit
of infirmity through the demonstration of the power of Jehovah Rapha, I will
continue to be free from the spirit in the name of Jesus.
Thank you, Jehovah Rapha, for healing me of this infirmity
(mention the particular infirmity that Jehovah Rapha has healed you from, to
you be all the glory and the honour forevermore in Jesus name.
Jehovah Shalom
It was the encounter of Gideon with an angel of the Lord
that led to the revelation of the name Jehovah Shalom. The name Jehovah Shalom
is, God is peace or God is my peace.
Judges 6:23-24
And the Lord said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not:
thou shalt not die.
24 Then Gideon built an altar there unto the Lord, and called
it Jehovah-shalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites.
If you look at the previous verses of that particular
chapter leading to the revelation of this name – Jehovah Shalom the angel of
the Lord declared to Gideon peace be unto you, you shall not die! Throughout
the ministry of Jesus when he was on the earth, he consistently declared peace
to the people he ministered to. Even when Jesus was born, one of the angels
that brought the cherry news of his birth aptly declared to the people, peace
be unto men on the earth and glory to God in the highest. A tidying that was a
prophetic declaration of the kind of ministry that Jesus will perform on the
earth and beyond.
Friends, I want you to understand the type of peace that God
is talking about. It is peace within and peace without! Peace inside and peace
outside. Let me attempt to make a brief explanation of what I am trying to say.
Peace within means that despite the troubles that are outside the environment
or the place where you are, you are at peace on the inside. It was for this
reason that Jesus told the disciples, do not let your hearts be troubled. That
is the kind of peace that is within. And the type of peace that is without
comes as a result of victory that the believer obtains and he enjoys all-round
rest. This was the type of peace that Solomon, the son of David enjoyed.
1 Kings 5:4
But now the Lord my God hath given me rest on every side, so
that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent.
The Bible says that God has given him rest on all sides and
there was no form of evil event that happened around the life of Solomon. That
is the kind of peace that is without, one that concerns your environment. If
God can give Solomon that type of peace and rest, then he can do it again
because the Bible tells us that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Has the devil attacked your peace? Is it a relationship with
your spouse, friends, or family in trouble? Are you burdened by external
battles all around you? Is your health under the siege of darkness? What are
you currently experiencing that is trying to make a mockery of the name Jehovah
Shalom in your life? If any of these situations mentioned above is part of what
you are seeing in your life, then it is time to call upon the name Jehovah
Shalom so that everywhere around you can become still. But I need to make you
understand that while you trust God for the manifestation of Jehovah Shalom for
what is happening externally, you do not fall into the temptation of worry and
anxiety, a common bait that Satan gives to everyone that is under attack. It is
the peace that is inside you that should control what is happening outside you.
Let me restate the words of Jesus to his disciples before he left the earth, do
not let your hearts be troubled. While the people of the world obtain or derive
their peace from physical satisfaction and what they get, for the believer, it
is not so. The man of the world is happy when he gets a new car, when he gets a
promotion, when he buys a new property, or when he buys his private jet. For
the believer, our peace is derived from our total reliance and faith in the
Lord Jesus. And I trust him, he can manifest as Jehovah Shalom through every
external event in our environment. I pray that God will give us grace so that
the peace that is within will be able to control all the events outside in the
name of Jesus.
Reflection
Judges 6:24
Then Gideon built an altar there unto the Lord, and called it
Jehovah-shalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites.
2 Thessalonians 3:16
Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all
means. The Lord be with you all.
Prayer
Dear Lord, Thank you for the revelation of your word that
you have given me the privilege to study and understand, which has shown me that
you can manifest yourself in every aspect of my life as Jehovah Shalom. You are
worthy to be praised, in the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, I come before you today and ask that every
event in my life that isn’t a representation of Jehovah Shalom, be destroyed
right now in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I make demands for the grace to be able to
reflect the peace within and peace without in every area of my life in the name
of Jesus.
Righteous Father, for the children of Israelites, to enjoy
peace, Pharaoh had to be buried. For the church to enjoy peace, Herod had to be
smitten by the angel of the Lord. Anyone that needs to be buried so that I can
enjoy peace in every area of my life, I make demands today that the
manifestation and judgement of Jehovah Shalom will come upon them speedily in
the name of Jesus.
Glorious Father, anything that is standing in the way of my
peace by the power in the name of Jesus that thing is commanded to crumble
right now in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I have seen from your word that the
manifestation of Jehovah Shalom affects both my peace internally and
externally. Therefore, I make demands at this hour that Jehovah Shalom will
manifest so that I can begin to enjoy all-round peace in my life in the name of
Jesus.
Holy Father, I make demands today that every power,
principality, and authority that has stood firm that I will not enjoy peace, I
make demands today that Jehovah Shalom will destroy them right now in the name
of Jesus.
Thank you, Jehovah Shalom, for hearing and answering all of
my prayers to you be all the glory and honour in the name of Jesus.
Elohim
In the Bible, the first manifestation of Elohim took place
in the book of Genesis 1:1:
In the beginning God created the Heaven and the earth.
Where God manifested himself as the creator of all things.
He created all things from the heavens and the earth before proceeding to
create man in his image and likeness. The creative work of God did not stop in
the book of Genesis 1:1. Even in our present day, God is still in the creative
business. He is still creating things today even in your life. Which is the
reason why God said, all things work together for good for them that know the
Lord who has been called according to his purpose. No matter what the enemy has
done in your life, God is a specialist in taking all that the enemy has done
and creating something good out of it. Whenever the devil attacks you whether
it is your health, finances, business, family, career et cetera he has given
God’s special materials for creating good things. God may use the same bad that
the enemy has done to create something good out of it. A classic example of
that occurred in the Scriptures where the brothers of Joseph betrayed him for
evil. It was the same betrayal that God used for the salvation of the entire
generation that will come forth out of the sons of Jacob. If not that God using
the same evil that the enemy has done in the life of Joseph to create something
good out of it, there would have been nothing like the present-day nation of
Israel because the famine would have consumed them.
In the life of Job, the enemy thought he was trying to
destroy the life of that righteous man. The very act of the attack of the enemy
upon the life of Job became a tool for the construction and creation of
increased blessings. That attack of the enemy became a tool in the hands of God
for the multiplication of the resources of Job.
Friends, Elohim is still in the business of creation. The
creation of Elohim did not stop in the book of Genesis. There are even creative
miracles that take place today in the body of Christ whenever the healing power
of God is available. Maybe you have lost something in your life physically.
Maybe a part of your body, the creative power of God can reconstruct it. But
our greatest desire will be to see the manifestation of the name Elohim in our
lives.
Reflection
Nehemiah 9:6
Thou, even thou, art Lord
alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their
host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is
therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.
Job 38:4
Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?
declare, if thou hast understanding.
Prayer
Dear Lord, thank you for the revelation of your word that I
have just received today; to know that you are not just the creator of time
pass but the creator of yesterday, today, and forever more. I praise your name
for the release of the light of the word of God that made me understand that
all things work together for my good even when the enemy decides to make an
evil occurrence take place in my life you can create something good out of it.
To you be all the glory and the honour in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, let the same creative power of Elohim that
manifested in the book of Genesis 1:1 manifest over my business and the works
of my hand in the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, I have seen from your word that you are the
God who created all things. I make demands at this moment that everything that
has been damaged beyond repair in my life, a new creation will take place at
this moment in the name of Jesus.
Glorious Father, I come before you to pray that the creative
power of Elohim manifests in every area of my life in the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, every part of my body that needs the touch
of the creative dimension of Elohim (either as a result of an accident, an
injury, or physical bodily damage) I come before the throne of grace at this
time I make demands on the creative dimension of Elohim that I have seen in the
word of God to manifest in my life now in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I have seen from your word that as the creator
of the universe and the creator of all things, you are an expert in taking all
that the enemy means for evil in my life and creating something very good. You
have done it in the life of Joseph. You have also done it in the life of Job.
Therefore, I come before your throne at this moment, and I make demands that
every evil thing that the enemy has done in my life I pray that you will turn
it into something good at this moment in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, where the enemy has attacked my financial
blessing so that shame and reproach have become a part of my life. I make
demands on the power and the dimension of Elohim which took the same attack in
the life of Job as a material for the multiplication of the blessings, and
glory in the life of Job will make that manifest in the multiplication of the
blessings of God upon my life in the name of Jesus.
Righteous Father, where I have damaged anything beyond
repair in my life in the spiritual realm, I make demands for the creative
dimension of Elohim to recreate what I have damaged in the name of Jesus.
Righteous Father, where I have damaged anything beyond
repair in my body, I ask that the power of Elohim will cause a recreation to
take place right now in my life in the name of Jesus.
Thank you, Holy Father, for causing the creative dimension
of Elohim to manifest in my life at this time to you be all the glory, honour,
praise, and adoration in the Mighty name of Jesus.
El Elyon
El Elyon means the Most High.
We first saw the manifestation of El Elyon in the book of
Genesis 14:18 where Melchizedek the priest of the Most High God brought wine
and bread when Abraham rescued his nephew, Lot after the attack on Sodom and
Gomorrah.
In the book of Daniel 4:17, the Bible makes us understand
that the Most High rules in the affairs of men:
This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand
by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the
most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will,
and setteth up over it the basest of men.
A child of the Most high should also be on high in every
area of his life. If my father is the president of America, I am, by the
privilege of being his son, able to enjoy the protection offered to the family
of the president. The same is also true concerning my association with the Most
High. So if the Lord is high, why should I be low in my life? Back to the
Scripture, I have quoted above in the book of Daniel 4:17, we understand that
the Most High rules in the affairs of men. The meaning of the Scripture is
simple God can interfere in the affairs of men. That God can also prevent,
intervene, and control the affairs of men. The question I want to ask you is
this if the most high is the one that rules in the affairs of men, why should
the powers of darkness, affliction, infirmity, lack, and everything that is
anti-the Most High be ruling in your affairs as a child of God. If you look at
that Scripture very well it did not say that the most high rules in the affairs
of the righteous alone. It says the Most High rules in the affairs of men. Once
you are a man living on the face of this earth the most high has the power to
rule in your affairs.
We are praying in a moment for the manifestation of the most
high in our lives.
Reflection
Genesis 14:18
And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine:
and he was the priest of the most high God.
Daniel 4:17
This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand
by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the
most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will,
and setteth up over it the basest of men.
Prayer
Lord, thank you for the revelation of who the Most High, El
Elyon is to me. I pray that I will use this revelation for the benefit of my
body, soul, and spirit in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I have seen from your word that the most high
rules in the affairs of men. And whenever he rules, every other small ruler
must bow. I make demands at this moment that everything that is ruling my life
today bows in the name of Jesus.
Gracious Father, I have seen from the revelation of your word
that the most high is the highest. And by my association with you, I cannot be
in the low places of life. Anything that has been preventing me from becoming a
true reflection of the most high that you are let it be cut off today in the
name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, every rule of the power of darkness in my
life is cut off in the name of Jesus.
Righteous Father, everything that is ruling in my life which
is not a reflection of the most high, is cut off in the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, every rule of the powers of witchcraft in
my life and my family by the divine intervention of El Elyon, the most high,
that rule is terminated in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, since you rule in the affairs of men, as the Most
High, and El Elyon, every rule of generational curses existing from one
generation of my family to another, by your divine intervention that
generational curse stands broken in the name of Jesus.
Righteous Father, I make demands for the full manifestation
of the power of the most high, El Elyon, to manifest in my life today in the
name of Jesus.
Holy Father, everything that represents shame and reproach
is not a representation of the true image of the Most High, that thing is
terminated in the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, I come before the throne of grace today to
make demands on El Elyon, the Most High God who rules in the affairs of men,
since you are my ruler, nothing can rule me in the name of Jesus.
Righteous Father, I come before the throne of grace to make
demands on the most high who rules in the affairs of men because I have seen
from your word that you are a ruler. And you have said in your word that we are
gods. I receive the power and the grace to be in total dominion and power as
your son or daughter over anything that is trying to rule my life whether it is
the attack of the enemy, witchcraft, voodoo, or even behaviour, attitude or
character in the name of Jesus.
Thank you, El Elyon, for hearing and answering all of my
prayers at this moment to you be the glory, honour, worship and praise in the
name of Jesus.
Adonai
In simple terms, the word Adonai in the Bible means someone
who is a master or Lord. Several scriptural pieces of evidence point to this fact
of what Adonai means. And several times the disciples in the Bible called Jesus
master meaning Adonai. If God is Adonai in our lives, our master, then we owe
him our absolute loyalty and unquestionable obedience. It was this kind of
understanding that Abraham had that made him demonstrate the highest level of
obedience that anyone could have shown to Adonai in his days. It was as a
result of his obedience that Abraham was referred to as the friend of God. He
had a good understanding of what Adonai means, Master. So when you are
struggling with disobedience, lack of loyalty, lack of reverence and respect
for God, you fully understood him as your Saviour and not as your Lord and
master. If Jesus is your master, there will be constant obedience flowing from
you to him. There will also be a holy reverence for his person as a Master or
your Lord. We have several people who have understood God as their saviour, but
they haven’t come to the full understanding of what Adonai is. If you have an
understanding of what your Saviour is, it is good. But you need to also have a
proper understanding of what your Lord or Master is. I pray that God will give
us the grace to walk with Him as our Adonai in the name of Jesus.
Reflection
Isaiah 12:2
Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid:
for the Lord JEHOVAH is my
strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.
Psalms 83:18
That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art
the most high over all the earth.
Prayer
Dear Lord, I want to give you all the praise, glory, honour
and adoration for the understanding of your word that you have given to me
today so that I will know you as Adonai. Your name is praised, in Jesus name.
Heavenly Father, I come before you today to pray in any area
of my life that I haven’t allowed you to reflect as my master and Lord, Adonai,
I ask that your mercy prevails in the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, I come before you to make demands at this
moment that where I have not demonstrated full and total loyalty to you as my master
and Lord, let your mercy be made available to me in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, where my life has been hindered as a result of
my disobedience to you, I pray today that your mercy will reach out to me in
the name of Jesus.
Righteous Father, where I have failed to show reverence to
Adonai in my life I make demands today that your grace will reach out to me and
show me mercy in the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, in any area of my life that I have not
allowed you to reflect as my Adonai, I pray today that you will help me with
grace so that you will be reflected as my Lord and my Master in the name of
Jesus.
Righteous Father, in any area of my life that I have not
reverenced your divine leading as a result of my failure to understand your
dimension as Adonai, Father, I ask for mercy the stay in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, based on the revelation of your word I have
seen today that you are my Lord and Master, I make demands today that anything
that is trying to be Lord and Master over my life be destroyed in the name of
Jesus.
Holy Father, I make demands for the grace for you to be
reflected in every area of my life as my Adonai in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, since you are my Adonai, my Lord, and my
master, I make demands today that there is nothing on earth that can ever be my
Lord in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, in any area of my life that I have made man my
Lord, I come to you today and ask for mercy in the name of Jesus.
Thank you, Adonai, for hearing and answering all of my
prayers to you be all the glory and honour and adoration in the name of Jesus.
El Shaddai
In the Bible, the name of God as El Shaddai refers to the
God who is mighty in all dimensions. It was God himself who revealed his name
to Abraham in the book of Genesis 17:1-2:
And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto
him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will
multiply thee exceedingly.
If you read the rest of the chapter of the Scripture under
reference, you would see how God went on to fulfil the promise he has made to
Abraham concerning the birth of Isaac. It was the revelation of God as Almighty
that shattered the many years of barrenness that Sarah, the wife of Abraham
suffered. Abraham was uncertain concerning the promise of God for a child when
he responded to what God had told him in the book of Genesis 17:17, how can a
child be born to him that is 100 years old was the burning question that was turning
and tossing in the heart of this patriarch of the faith. But do you know what
brought the fulfilment of the promise for Abraham to reality? The Almighty
power of God. While Abraham was uncertain concerning the promise of a child,
God was speaking to him that as long as I am the Almighty God, there is no
level of barrenness that is too big that my Almighty nature cannot destroy.
Friends, this is also a revelation to you and me. If God is
Mighty, is there anything bigger than the Almighty nature of God in your life?
Perhaps, yours may not be barrenness. It could be something else that has
lingered on for many years. But it doesn’t matter how long that thing has
stayed, provided you are connected to the Almighty, that thing will be
destroyed in the name of Jesus. We are about to pray trusting God for the
manifestation of his Almighty nature in our individual lives.
Reflection
Psalms 147:5
Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is
infinite.
Zephaniah 3:17
The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will
save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy
over thee with singing.
Prayer
Dear Lord, I want to thank you because you are El Shaddai,
the Almighty God or the Almighty Lord. I want to thank you for the
manifestation of your Almighty nature in the Bible in the life of Abraham, one
of the patriarchs of the faith. If you can do it in the life of Abraham, then
whatever that is in my life right now trying to make a mockery of the Almighty
power of God must bow in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I come before you today and I make demands that
every mountain in my life that is trying to make a mockery of the Almighty
power of God that is available for me as a child of God, today I make demands
for that mountain to bow in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I saw in the word of God how your revelation to
Abraham as Almighty God, El Shaddai resulted in the termination of the age-long
barrenness which the wife of Abraham, Sarah had suffered. I make demands at this
moment that the same revelation of the Almighty nature of God is manifested
over… (Mention the particular situation you are trusting the Almighty power of
God to manifest in) and let it result in a total wipe away of the tears that I
have cried over the years as a result of these… In the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, every promise of God that has been
prophesied over my life yet to be fulfilled. I make demands that in the same
way you manifested yourself to Abraham as El Shaddai which made the promise of
the birth of Isaac a reality, let that encounter of El Shaddai manifest in my
life over every prophecy, and promise that you have spoken over my life so that
it comes to pass speedily in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I stand before the throne of grace at this time
since you have said in your word that we should come before the throne of grace
boldly so that we may obtain mercy and help in time of need. I come boldly
before you now Lord, and I make demands that you will break every form of
reproach and shame that the enemy has placed upon my life in the same way that
you broke the reproach and shame of barrenness over the life of Sarah at this
moment in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I make demands for the manifestation of the
power of El Shaddai to come into:
My family
My marriage
My job
And the works of my hand at this moment in the name of
Jesus.
Thank you, EL Shaddai, for hearing and answering my prayers
because I believe from this moment henceforth the manifestation of the hand of
the Lord as El Shaddai will begin to show forth in diverse areas of my life in
the name of Jesus.
El Olam
El Olam is your inheritance as a child of God. It is because
God is El Olam that made it possible for you to rely on his faithfulness. If God
isn’t El Olam, then it will be impossible for people to trust in him. When
Abraham saw the dimension of God that he had never seen in the book of Genesis
21:33, he called it the name El Olam, the everlasting God:
And Abraham planted a grove in Beer-sheba, and called there
on the name of the Lord, the
everlasting God.
It is for this reason that it is possible to rely on the
testimonies of time past to believe God for what he will do in the future. If
God was the one that healed me before, then he can heal me again. If God was
the one who delivered me out of that snare of the enemy, then he will do it
again. The Bible tells us that, God is from everlasting to everlasting and this
is attested by the Bible in the book of Hebrew 13:8. That God is the same
yesterday, today, and forevermore. In the book of James, the Bible says that
God has no shadow of turning. If he says is going to do something, then he
means it. I believe that even if the words that come out of the mouth of God
did so by mistake, the word would be outrightly fulfilled.
Friends, I do not know what is currently happening to you
but have you considered the manifestation of God as El Olam? If only you can
see through the eyes of El Olam that he will not change, your faith will be
strong to depend on him for the future. Most of the time, we are afraid of the
future because we have forgotten what God has done in the past. The Bible tells
us in the book of Mark 6:52, that when the disciples of Jesus forgot the miracles
of the 4000 and 5000, and the loaves that they took, their hearts were darkened:
El Olam can never change and he can never fail because he is
from everlasting to everlasting. No wonder when Jesus was on the earth, he told
the people and the Pharisees that police his ministry that, before Abraham was
I am. That is, before this your father Abraham whom you hold in high esteem, I
have been existing. I was fully manifesting myself as the word in the different
dispensations of the Godhead.
Friends, El Olam is reliable. El Olam is dependable. There
is no man, person, spirit, power, or authority that is as reliable as El Olam.
He is the only person that you can bank your faith on, and he will never fail
you. If you are losing hope remember that the everlasting God, El Olam doesn’t
fail.
Reflection
Malachi 3:6
For I am the Lord,
I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Prayer
Dear Jesus, I want to thank you for the revelation that you
have granted to me today from the word that made me understand that you are El
Olam, the God that is everlasting and who can never fail. The reliable and
dependable God that has no variableness nor shadow of turning. I am sure that
the revelation that you have granted me will take me to the next level of my
life in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I come before you today to ask for mercy where
I have allowed doubt, fear, and unbelief to cloud my mind forgetting the
glorious manifestation of El Olam in the past in my life. I know that unbelief
and doubt is a sins. And I ask for mercy at this moment in the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, I have seen from your word that you are El
Olam, the everlasting God which I can call upon because Abraham called upon the
name of the Lord the everlasting God, I am also going to do the same, trusting
you in faith for the manifestation of your everlasting nature in my life in the
name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I remember the manifestation of your power how
you (healed, delivered, lifted, provided, and answered me before, whatever it
is that God has done for you in the past mention it at this moment) I believe
you as El Olam that you have not changed and you will never change. The same
God who did that wonderful deliverance in my life in the time past is the same
today and will be the same tomorrow and evermore. The situation that I am going
through is a figment of dust before you, and it will take you nothing to bring
about my deliverance in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I pray for your grace to come upon my life at
this moment to always remember you as El Olam in every given situation that I
have found myself. Help me not to be forgetful like the disciples who couldn’t
remember the miracles of God in the past and as a result of that, their hearts
were darkened. Rather, I pray to be like David who remembered the God that
delivered him out of the paw of the bear, and out of the paw of the lion and
that remembrance of El Olam made him defeat Goliath of Gath in the name of
Jesus.
Righteous Father, every evil thing in my life that is trying
to take a permanent residence I pray at this moment that the manifestation of
the power of El Olam will dethrone that thing right now in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, you have made it clear in your word that you
are the only God that is everlasting and none can be like you are. And I am
connected to you as your son, the son of El Olam and since I am connected to
you as the everlasting God, my life can’t be unstable. Therefore, I make
demands at this moment that every form of instability (financial instability,
marital instability, health instability, job instability et cetera,) be removed
from my life at this moment in the name of Jesus.
Thank you, Jesus, for the revelation of God as El Olam which
I have known and prayed for because manifestation is what is remaining at this
point in the name of Jesus.
Jehovah Jireh
Abraham saw God manifested himself as Jehovah Jireh in the
book of Genesis 22:14:
And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as
it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.
This is where God provided a lamb to take the place of Isaac
as a sacrifice. One thing I want you to remember as you read through the pages
of this book is, that I am not teaching you just words and theory, because the
gospel is not in words but in power. What I am teaching you here is the word of
God which has the power to manifest in your life. If God manifested himself as
Jehovah Jireh to Abraham and provided a lamb to be used in the stead of Isaac,
then he can provide for you today. And was Abraham provided for by God? Yes, of
course, Abraham was telling us about his experience with God as Jehovah Jireh
because he has personally seen that manifestation in his life.
Genesis 13:2
And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
The above Scripture tells us that Abraham was rich in
silver, cattle and gold. What does that tell you? Financial provision. I want
you to delete this mentality from your mind that whenever we refer to
provision, your mind goes to food or money. The provision of God for his
children is way beyond that. There is a wisdom provision that God makes
available for his children. There is the provision of defence and safety that
God makes for his children and this is what Job enjoyed in the book of Job when
the devil even had to come and confess before God that Jehovah Jireh had made a
provision for the protection and safety of Job that even the devil was hapless.
He couldn’t touch him. So provision is not money alone. Although it is part of
it. There is also provision for your health. All of these are the manifestations of God as
Jehovah Jireh. Abraham saw God as Jehovah Jireh by the provision of a lamb as a
sacrifice because that was what he needed at that time. The fact that God has
blessed you financially which is his provision for you as Jehovah Jireh, does
not mean that he won’t provide the wisdom for you to sustain that wealth. Some
people have been rich before, and today they are poor. Why? There was a dearth
of wisdom to sustain the financial provision that Jehovah Jireh had made for
them. Some people were healthy yesterday, but lack the spiritual wisdom to
sustain the health that God has provided them. So whenever we talk about
Jehovah Jireh, do not allow your mind to go into a restricted mode that only
relates to food and money. Is God that small that he cannot make other
provision as Jehovah Jireh to you? Or are you telling me today that if God has
blessed you financially, you do not need any other form of blessing from him
anymore? I leave you to answer these questions. But I am telling you that the
manifestation of God as Jehovah Jireh goes beyond financial provision alone.
So, when you are praying the prayers contained in this section of the book, let
your mind be opened. You can make demands on God as Jehovah Jireh to provide
for you in different areas of your life. Even if you are trusting God for
marriage, that is also the provision of God as Jehovah Jireh. What? I hear
someone complaining. Before you do so, I want you to refer to the Scriptures
quoted above.
One of the reasons why as believers we have seen little of
God is because we have limited him. Jesus couldn’t do a lot of miracles in a
city because they limited him.
Matthew 13:58
And he did not many mighty works there because of their
unbelief.
And the manifestation of God in your life will be restricted
by the limitation that you have placed on him.
Jesus told some people, that you are men of little faith. Hey, I can do
more if you can believe me for more. I can provide for you as Jehovah Jireh in
different aspects and areas of your life. I trust in Jehovah Jireh for wisdom,
grace, anointing, and favour provision. God won’t only give you financial
blessings and what you need to eat, but also what can sustain your life as a
child of God. Even the Scripture that we often quote give us our daily bread is
not just about food. Bread in the Scripture also means revelation and light
from the word of God. So you are telling God to give you revelation and light
from the word of God that will transform your life. Bread in the word of God is
also healing because the Bible says healing is the bread of the children. Can
you see why if you trust God, you will be able to enjoy his abundance? Not
bread alone but also health. Hallelujah!
Reflection
Genesis 22:14
And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as
it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord
it shall be seen.
Philippians 4:19
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches
in glory by Christ Jesus.
Prayer
Dear Sweet Jesus, if there is anything I am grateful to you
today for is the opening of my understanding and the revelation of your word
that Jehovah Jireh means more than I have been thinking of. Thank you, Lord,
for opening the eyes of my understanding to fully grasp the mystery of the
revelation of Jehovah Jireh to you be all the glory and the honour in the name
of Jesus.
Holy Father, I come before you today to make demands for your
provision in my life as my Father, Jehovah Jireh in the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, every form of poverty in my life that is
making a mockery of your power as Jehovah Jireh in my life I make demands today
that let your financial abundance cripple the poverty in my life and family in
the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, You have said in your word that if any man
lacks wisdom let him come and you will give him wisdom. I have also seen from
your word that Solomon made demands of Jehovah Jireh for the provision of
wisdom and you gave it to him. I confess before you that I have made several
decisions that lacked wisdom. I make demands today that you will pour upon me
your wisdom in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I come before you to make demands on Jehovah
Jireh that a provision is made for me and my family in every area of our need in
the name of Jesus.
Righteous Father, every form of generational poverty that
has been transmitted from one generation of my family line to another, I make
demands today that the power of Jehovah Jireh will break it over my family and
destroy it totally in my bloodline in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, in every form of infirmity that has been coded
into my bloodline, I make demands on Jehovah Jireh to provide for our health
today in the name of Jesus.
Gracious Father, I have seen from your word that Abraham was
rich in silver, cattle and gold I come before you this day to make demands for
Jehovah Jireh that the riches of your goodness will be released into my family
and my life in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, my connection to you as Jehovah Jireh means
that I cannot be in need and lack. I make demands that the power in the name
Jehovah Jireh will begin to manifest in my life from today through all-round
provision in the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, I break every yoke of need in any area of
my life and family in the name of Jesus.
Gracious Father, today I make demands that your blessings,
your glory, your crown, and all the provision made for me as your son or
daughter be manifested in my life at this moment in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, everything that has made it impossible for me
to manifest as your son, the son of Jehovah Jireh, I make demands that the
hindrance is removed and consumed by the fire of the Holy Ghost in the name of
Jesus.
Holy Father, every attack of witchcraft, powers,
principalities, and authority who are trying to hinder or divert every
provision that you have made for me, and I make demands that the power of
Jehovah Jireh will consume them right now in the name of Jesus.
Thank you, Jehovah Jireh, for the all-round provision that I
am about to start enjoying in my life to you be all the glory and the honour in
the name of Jesus.
Jehovah El Qanna
In simple terms, Jehovah El Qanna means a jealous God. In
the Old Testament, God declared in several verses of the Scripture that he is a
jealous God. When looked at in context, God was talking about his worship that
should not be shared with anyone. But how does the power of Jehovah EL Qanna
manifest in the life of a present-day believer? The jealousy of God often
manifests in the life of his people in the form of intense divine protection.
For example, if you have a pet, a dog that you dearly love, would you allow
anyone to come into your house and kill that dog? Of course, the simple answer
is a straightforward no. No one would want anything like that. In other words,
your over-protectiveness of the dog in your house is the expression of your jealousy
over the dog. Forgive me, for using this example of a dog to communicate the
revelation I am trying to pass across to you. There are several examples in the
Scriptures of how God demonstrated his jealousy in the lives of his people. We’ll
look at those examples briefly.
Abraham
Abraham, the husband of Sarah went to Egypt with his wife as
a result of the intense famine that besieged the place where he lived. When he
got to Egypt, the King of Egypt, Pharaoh, saw that Sarah the wife of Abraham
was a beautiful woman and decided to take her as his wife. But the jealousy of
God and the manifestation of himself as Jehovah El Qanna did not allow Pharaoh
to be successful with his wicked action of taking the wife of another man. The
immediate response of Jehovah El Qanna to the action of Pharaoh was to plague
the entire house of Pharaoh with great plagues.
Genesis 12:14-20
And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt,
the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her
before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
16 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had
sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she
asses, and camels.
17 And the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great
plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou
hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
19 Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken
her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.
20 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they
sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
It was the same type of experience that Abraham had with the
King of Egypt when Abimelech took his wife. God appeared to Abimelech in the
dream and told him, you are a dead man!
Genesis 20:1-3.
And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country,
and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and
Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to
him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for
she is a man's wife.
Isaac
Abimelech and his entire generation are specialists in
taking other people’s wives. It was the same Abimelech that attempted to take
the wife of Abraham but God manifested his jealousy over the life of his
servant. Again, it was the same Abimelech that attempted to take the wife of
Isaac.
Genesis 26:7-11
And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said,
She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men
of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.
8 And it came to pass, when he had been
there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a
window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and
said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my
sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
10 And Abimelech said, What is this
thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy
wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.
11 And Abimelech charged all his
people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to
death.
In the case of Isaac, the Bible did not expressly tell us
the kind of encounter Abimelech saw before he instructed everybody within the
country that no one should touch Isaac or his wife. It wasn’t merely because he
saw Isaac sporting with his wife when he looked through the window (Genesis
26:8-11).
Jacob
God also demonstrated himself as Jehovah El Qanna in the
life of Jacob. When Jacob had served Laban and it was time for him to leave,
Laban gathered all his kinsmen and his brothers to pursue Jacob. But Jehovah El
Qanna appeared to Laban in the dream of the night and warned him to be careful
of the kind of things he would say to Jacob.
Genesis 31:22-24
And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.
23 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him
seven days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.
24 And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and
said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
Laban was under instruction not to say anything to Jacob
that is either good or bad. In effect, what God was saying to Laban is not to
speak to Jacob at all. Be careful of the kind of things you would say to him
either good or bad. If you talk to Jacob carelessly and anyhow, I will deal
with you. What was that encounter all about? God was trying to teach Laban that
I am Jehovah El Qanna. If Laban was
careless with his words on the day he met Jacob, the Lord would have shown him
that he is Jehovah El Qanna.
Friends, you see the word of God is light if you can
understand what it means. I know you may be looking at your life at this moment
and saying, why is Jehovah El Qanna not manifesting in your life. The truth is,
he is. Several people have died as a result of the manifestation of Jehovah El
Qanna in your life. The fact that you did not know, does not mean that it never
happened. There are several witches, wizards, and high priests that have paid
the ultimate price of death when they attempted to destroy you. If God reveals
to you the damages that other people have suffered on the grounds of trying to
play with your life, you will be shocked.
Anyone who is playing with your life trying to attack you
even if it is from the household or a member of your family or someone distant,
he is doing that solely at his peril. And it is also in the Scriptures.
Numbers 12:10
And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold,
Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and,
behold, she was leprous.
Was Miriam not the
sister of Moses? I believe that she might have nursed Moses at one point in
time in his life. But does it prevent her from receiving the judgemental
dimension of God as Jehovah El Qanna when she tried to temper with Moses?
Miriam did not even do anything to attack Moses, she only spoke words against
the servant of the Lord! And what happened to her – she was afflicted with
leprosy. It took the intervention of Moses pleading with God before she could
be healed. And even the plea of Moses did not placate God; she had to spend
some time outside of the camp before she was integrated into the community of
the Israelites.
Anyone who is messing with your life can continue but he is
not aware that he is playing with fire because the manifestation of Jehovah El
Qanna will soon show forth at his doorstep. Some of you might say, I don’t want
anything bad to happen to the person. I just want God to warn them. Well, you
have done well. But I can tell you that you cannot tell God how to manifest
himself as Jehovah El Qanna to everyone he desires. There are people around
your life who have been attacking you left, right, and centre that the
manifestation of Jehovah El Qanna to them will be death. Oh yes. They can pay
the ultimate price if they won’t let you have peace. No one has the power to
tamper with the life of any child of God because Jehovah El Qanna is alive. He
is the same yesterday, today, and forever more. A man of God in Nigeria, Arome
Osayi, gave a testimony of how an old woman was blinded because she was
disturbing a house that he rented. The woman was a witch, and she was
controlling the house that was close by. The house was a haunted house not by
demonic spirits but by a woman who was a witch in that territory. So he took
the matter up in the place of prayer and continue to pray until one day when he
saw someone trying to attack him with blindness. He responded by saying that
you are blind. Suddenly, a lady came to him one day and told him that his
grandmother suddenly became blind and she does not know what has happened to
her. The man of God knew that it was the same woman that appeared to him that
was struck with blindness. The manifestation of Jehovah El Qanna was what
happened to that witch.
I want this revelation to sit in the centre of your heart
that if Jehovah El Qanna is at work in your life then certain people will pay
the ultimate price, and it doesn’t matter who they are provided they are
standing in the way of your peace. If the sister of Moses received the
judgement of God when he decided to manifest to her as Jehovah El Qanna, how
about those who are not even family members but are attacking your life or
standing against your peace?
Let us pray in the light of this revelation and
manifestation of God as Jehovah El Qanna in our lives at this moment.

Prayer
Dear Lord, thank you for the divine revelation and insight
that you have given to me today that God can manifest in my life as Jehovah El
Qanna. Receive the praise Lord in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, you are God and you do not do things in vain.
As you have said in your word that these things are written for us as examples
so that we can have faith through the comfort of the Scriptures. I have seen
from your word that you have manifested in the life of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob,
and Moses as Jehovah El Qanna. I pray today that the light of the revelation of
the word that I received today will make you begin to manifest in my life as
Jehovah El Qanna in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, anybody who is tempering with my life and my
peace. Today, I make demands that you will manifest to that person in ways that
only Jehovah El Qanna does in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I have seen from your word that Jehovah El
Qanna is a God of restoration who restores onto the children of God what has
been taken from them; the same way he restored Sarah the wife of Abraham that
was taken by Abimelech. I pray at this moment that anything that is mine which
had been taken from me I make demands that Jehovah El Qanna will manifest so
that all of the things that have been taken from me will be restored in the
name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, I have seen from your word that the sister
of Moses, received the manifestation of Jehovah El Qanna that resulted in
leprosy. I know that if the sister or brother of a man can receive the
judgement of God as a result of interference with the life of a child of God,
then I know that you will do more than that for those who are not related or
connected to me. Therefore, I make demands at this point that any high priest,
voodoo, witchcraft priest or priestess, or any form of demonic practice in
which a human being is involved, let the judgemental dimension of Jehovah El
Qanna show forth to them now in the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, I come before you because I have seen from
your word that even a family member can receive the judgement of God because
the name Jehovah El Qanna is not in vain. Anyone in my family who requires the
visitation of Jehovah El Qanna because of the kind of wickedness that they are
doing against my life, I make demands that Jehovah El Qanna will show up now so
that everyone that requires judgement, will receive his judgement in the name
of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, I have seen from your word that you are a
jealous God and that manifestation of your jealousy is not only about your
worship alone but anything that concerns my life. I make demands today that you
will begin to manifest yourself in every sphere of my life as Jehovah El Qanna
in the name of Jesus.
Thank You, Jehovah El Qanna, for hearing and answering my prayers.
Receive all the glory in the name of Jesus.
Jehovah M’Kaddesh
The Bible tells us that the Old Testament is a shadow of the
things to come. God particularly made it clear to the children of Israel that
he is a God that sanctifies them.
Leviticus 20:8
And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the Lord which sanctify you.
Exodus 31:13
Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily
my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your
generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you.
God was telling the children of Israelites that this life of
holiness is not something you can live by your power, but I will be the God
that will continue to sanctify you so that you can be holy before me. It was
for this reason that the Bible declares in the book of Zechariah 4:6 that it is
not by might, nor by power but by the spirit says the Lord. It is this power of
sanctification which God carries out in the life of his children that is known
as Jehovah M’ Kaddesh. In the Old Testament, God continually sanctifies his
people so that they can be holy before his eyes including using the blood of
bulls and animals whenever sin has been committed. While in the New Testament,
the manifestation of God as Jehovah M’Kaddesh is somewhat different. God
empowers us to be continually sanctified by his power through the infilling of
the Holy Ghost that abides with us forever. God releases the Holy Ghost into
the life of the present-day believer to live above sin. If the believer can
employ the power of the Holy Ghost in his life, he will live a life that is
pleasing to God, sanctified and holy. That is the reason why, the more we yield
to the Holy Ghost in our lives, the more sanctified we will be. And whenever
the Holy Ghost discovers that we have done something that breaks our holiness,
he convicts us so that we can repent of what we have done.
Friends, anything that you are battling in your life which
is a sin, habit or even an attitude that is contrary to the nature and
character of God, I want to let you know that Jehovah M’Kaddesh is available to
deliver you. It doesn’t matter how long you have struggled with that thing you
can tap the power source of the Holy Ghost to help you live above that sin.
There was a particular habit that I was struggling with in my life. Then all of
a sudden I discovered that I have overcome the habit. What happened? Jehovah M’Kaddesh
manifested in my life because he is the God that makes me holy. I pray for you
today that Jehovah M’Kaddesh will help you to live a life of purity and
sanctification in the name of Jesus.
Any time you come before the presence of the Lord and you
are asking for mercy and purification so that your prayers will not be
hindered, you are making demands on God as Jehovah M’Kaddesh.
Reflection
Psalms 22:3
But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of
Israel.
Isaiah 43:15
I am the Lord, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your
King.
Prayer
Dear Lord, I want to thank you for the revelation of who you
are to me as Jehovah M’Kaddesh. Thank you for bringing this light and
revelation into my spirit so that I can live a holy life before you.
Holy Father, I come before you as Jehovah M’Kaddesh, I make
demands that you will sanctify and purify me right now so that I will be holy
in the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, I make demands at this moment that Jehovah
M’Kaddesh will purify and sanctify me so that my prayers to you will be
answered all the time in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I come before you to make demands that any,
attitude, or behaviour that has become a part of my life and has continued to
be a burden to my Christianity, I make demands that the power of Jehovah
M’Kaddesh will supply me with the grace to break out of that attitude and habit
in the name of Jesus.
Righteous Father, I have seen from your word that in the Old
Testament God manifested himself to the children of Israel as Jehovah M’Kaddesh
by helping them to live a life of holiness. And I have also seen from your word
that in the present dispensation that I live in, the Holy Ghost is the one that
supplies the grace for me to live a life of holiness. Lord, in any area of my
life that I have failed to utilise the power of the Holy Ghost to live a life
of holiness before you, I ask for mercy today, and I pray that I will begin to
use the power of the Holy Ghost to live a life that is pleasing to you in the
name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, I make demands at this hour that Jehovah M’Kaddesh
will sanctify my body, soul, and spirit in the name of Jesus.
Righteous Father, anything that is standing in the way of my
living a life of purity and holiness, I make demands that that thing is broken
today in the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, I know that the manifestation of Jehovah M’
Kaddesh in my life is to help me to live a life of purity and holiness. I ask
at this hour that any man, woman, or friend that will come into my life pull me
into the life of sin and iniquity, I pray that as heaven is separated from the
earth so will you separate me from that person in the name of Jesus.
Thank You, Jehovah M’ Kaddesh, for hearing and answering all
of my prayers to you be all the glory and the honour in the name of Jesus.
Jehovah Raah
Jehovah Raah is God who is my shepherd. This is contained in
the book of Psalms 23:1-5:
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me
beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of
death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they
comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine
enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
If you read further down, you will see where the Bible says,
you shall not want, green pastures are your portion and he will prepare a table
amid your enemies.
The Old Testament is indeed a shadow of the new, that is,
what is to come. And David is an example of a good shepherd. When Saul needed a
man who would fight Goliath, the giant of Gath who came out every day to mock
the people of the Lord and bring the name of the Lord to reproach. David was
sent by his father to check on his brothers and how they fared on the
battlefield. It was when he met Saul that he recounted all his experiences as a
shepherd to the sheep that were entrusted to his care.
1 Samuel 17:34
And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's
sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:
He said, there came a lion and a bear to attack the sheep,
and I smote and t00k the sheep from them. It is a typical example of a good
shepherd. This is the reason why the Bible says as a good shepherd, I lay down
my life for the sheep. If the Lord is your shepherd, there are certain things
that you are entitled to by mercy:
Divine protection
Divine direction
Divine supply
All of these are the things that the shepherd does to the
sheep.
I pray today that may you begin to experience the
manifestation of Jehovah Raah in every area of your life since he is your
shepherd in the name of Jesus.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine

Psalms 16:5
The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup:

Lord, thank you for being my shepherd, my Jehovah Raah to
you be all the glory and honour in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I have learned today from your word that you
are my Jehovah Raah, my shepherd! In every area of my life that this name
Jehovah Raah is not showing forth, I make demands today for the name to begin
to manifest in the name of Jesus.
Righteous Father, I want to thank you for all the unseen
battles that you have fought on my behalf. The same way that the sheep that
were under the care of David did not even know that a lion and the bear came to
scatter them. I am not taking this defence for granted in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I come before you today because you are my
shepherd, and I know that you will lead me to the right place. I make demands
that you will direct and lead me in every area of my life in the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, I make demands that as my Jehovah Raah, my
shepherd, let your divine protection manifest in every area of my life so that
this oppression in the dream of the night, and the oppression of my health
would come to a permanent end in the name of Jesus.
Thank you, Jehovah Raah, for hearing me at this moment to
you be all the glory and honour in the name of Jesus.
Jehovah Isidkenu
Jehovah Isidkenu means God our righteousness. And how does
the Bible define the righteousness of God when it comes to his children? The
Bible says, by terrible deeds in righteousness will you answer us our God.
Psalms 65:5
By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O
God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and
of them that are afar off upon the sea:
It was the answer of Jehovah Isidkenu that brought to
silence the prophet of Baal at the contest in Mount Carmel. That was the answer
of God with terrible things in righteousness. Any time God desires to manifest
himself as Jehovah Isidkenu, it brings a lot of surprises. People would be
shocked at what happened in your life. That was the reason why the moment the
fire of God came down from heaven and consumed the sacrifices upon the altar at
the Mount of Carmel licking even the water that was upon the altar, the first
confession that the children of Israel made was this, the Lord he is the God,
the Lord he is the God! To them, this manifestation of Jehovah Isidkenu was
never seen before in their lives and the whole of the land of Israel.
Friends, there is a manifestation of Jehovah Isidkenu that
you need in your life. That manifestation of Jehovah Isidkenu puts the devil in
confusion as to what God was doing in your life that he did not know.
Certainly, they did not know how you became so blessed. They did not know how
you became healed despite all the attacks they have fired into your life. They
were not simply aware of how you became so well and delivered others even
though they wanted you dead. The manifestation of Jehovah Isidkenu in the life
of any believer puts both the enemies of God and his people to shame. Today, it
is my prayer, dearly beloved friends that Jehovah Isidkenu will begin to
manifest in every area of your life in the name of Jesus.

greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
Prayer
Lord, thank you for the revelation of your word to me at
this moment that made me understand that you are Jehovah Isidkenu. Be glorified
Lord, in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I have seen from your word that you are the God
that answers through terrible things in righteousness. I make demands today
that you will answer as Jehovah Isidkenu in my life in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, You have said in your word that I will do a
terrible thing in the whole of Israel that the ears that will hear the thing
which I do, will tingle (1 Samuel 3:11). That is the manifestation of God as
Jehovah Isidkenu where people are shocked by what he has done or is about to
do. I pray today that you heal me so that everyone who hears of that healing
will be shocked. I pray today that you deliver me so that everyone who hears of
the deliverance will be shocked, I pray today that you will bless me so that
everyone who looks at the prosperity of your blessings upon my life will be
shocked in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I make demands today that your manifestation as
Isidkenu in my life will show forth in your righteousness through the judgement
of the enemies of my life in the name of Jesus.
Thank you, Jehovah Isidkenu, for hearing and answering all
of my prayers to you be all the glory and honour in the name of Jesus.
Jehovah Nissi
If you read the book of Exodus 17:1-15, you will have a
clear picture of the name Jehovah Nissi.
Exodus 17:15
And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it
Jehovah-nissi:
A clear demonstration of how God helps us in our daily life
even when our strength is burnt out. God comes to help us out of his mercies.
In the context of this chapter, Jehovah Nissi means God our banner, our help.
It was the help of God that Moses saw after the battle that made him build an
altar and named it Jehovah Nissi. Are you tired and about to give up? Are you
tired of what to do with your family and how things are falling apart? If you
are tired and exhausted, make demands on God’s help now in the same way that
Moses received that help and his right hand was strengthened, that is how God
will send your help to you. Oftentimes, we do not cry to God for help in time.
It is only when our energies have burnt out that we run to God as a last resort
to help us. No one has ever cried to God for help and God turned him down.
The help of God can come in various ways. He may use humans
as a vessel to bring his help to your life. He can send his angels on
assignment to help you. But one thing we need to know is, that if God desires
to send help to you, it depends on how you receive it. Several people have
missed their opportunities in life because the help they prayed for did not
come in the way they expected. You can be praying for a particular miracle and
God will send a man in response to your prayers. This is where your character
as a child of God comes to play. And this is why we need to treat people with
all forms of value and respect. We may not know whether they are carrying our
answers from God. Even though it was God who told David to pursue, overtake,
and recover all in the book of 1 Samuel 30:8, the answers to his request from
God came unusually:
And David inquired at the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after
this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt
surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.
A man had been abandoned by his master and left to die
because he was sick.
1 Samuel 30:14-17
We made an invasion upon the south of the Cherethites, and
upon the coast which belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we
burned Ziklag with fire.
15 And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this
company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor
deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this
company.
16 And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread
abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the
great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of
the land of Judah.
17 And David smote them from the twilight even unto the
evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred
young men, which rode upon camels, and fled.
Even though it was the same person that was involved in the
attack on Ziklag, David decided to feed him, gave him some food and the young
man was revived. It was the same young man that took David to the place where
his master was that David had been looking for to rescue the hostages. The man
led David to the place of his master and that was how David recovered all that
was taken from him. What if David had treated the young man very bad, do you
think he would have received that direction to the place where his master was?
The simple answer is no! Be kind and
treat people with value. It won’t hurt you.

Dear Lord Jesus, I want to thank you for the revelation of
your word that you have allowed me to know today. Thank you, Father, in Jesus
name.
Holy Father, I come before you today to ask for mercy in any
area of my life that you have sent help but because of my behaviour, I have
turned it down. I make demands that your mercy will prevail over my
inadequacies in the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, open my eyes to see and my ears to hear so
that I do not take people based on face value but according to the discernment
of the spirit in the name of Jesus.
Righteous Father, in any area of my life that I have failed
to recognise the help and be grateful for what you brought my way, I ask for
mercy in the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, I come before you today to ask you for help
because I have done everything I could in this… (Mention the particular issue
you are trusting God for help) but have not been successful. I make demands at
this moment that you lay your hand of help on me right now in the name of
Jesus.
Holy Father, I come before you today to ask you for your
hand of help to come upon my life so that I can do everything according to the
grace that you have released for me in the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, I asked today that you will release your
help towards this area of my business that I am doing in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I make demands today that you will help my
family so that it can become all that you have prophesied over us in the name
of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, I know that one of the ways through which
your help can manifest in my life is through the Ministry of the Holy Ghost. I
ask today that the Holy Spirit will perform his ministry of help in my life at
this moment in the name of Jesus.
Glorious Father, in any area of my life that I need your
help to be able to overcome every battle, I pray today that you will help me in
the same way you sent help to Moses through Aaron and Hur in the name of Jesus.
Thank you, Holy Father, for hearing and answering all of my
prayers to you be all the glory and honour in the name of Jesus.
Jehovah Shamah
Ezekiel 48:35
It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name
of the city from that day shall be, The Lord is there.
Isaiah 12:6
Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy
One of Israel in the midst of thee.
In simple terms, Jehovah Shamah means God is there. This
implies that God is always with the believer. He was there when you were born.
He was there when you are playing in the backyard of your home. He was there when
you were going to high school. He was there when you got to college. He was
there when you graduated. He was there when you got married. And he will also
be there on the day you will be called home. When God was making the promise to
the believer that I will never leave you neither will I forsake you, he is
referring to the abiding presence of God that will be with the believer
forever.
The dispensation of the godhead is divided into three – the
first being that of God the Father when he was at work on the earth and
appearing to the patriarch of the faith, then the dispensation of Jesus when he
was ministering on the earth, and the dispensation of the Holy Ghost which
happens to be the present one we are in at the moment. Whenever you are feeling
alone, remember that Jehovah Shamah is there. He was at the burning bush when
Moses met him by the flame of fire. He was there at the mountain when Abraham
wanted to sacrifice Isaac. He was there when Laban wanted to harm Jacob but
came in the dream of the night and warned Laban that he should take heed not to
say to Jacob anything either good or bad. He was there when the Israelites were
crossing the red sea. He was also there when the Egyptians perished in the red
sea. That was the dispensation of God the Father and every time that the
presence of God was recorded in the Old Testament, it was the presence of God
the father because that was his dispensation.
After the dispensation of the Father, Jesus came to the
earth to reveal the dimension of God that man has never known. He was always
there with the disciples and all the people he taught during his time on the
earth. That was his dispensation. He offered protection to his disciples which
was why no one could touch him until the time appointed for him to die on the Cross
of Calvary.
After his death, Jesus made a special promise to the disciples
that he would not leave them comfortless. He was introducing the dispensation
of another godhead. That is, the Holy Ghost! So the Holy Ghost is always there to
help us. When you call upon Jehovah Shamah, you are referring to the God that
is always there for you. And you know what the Bible says in the book of 1 Corinthians
3:8, that the Lord is that spirit and where the spirit of the Lord is, there is
liberty. So wherever God is, certain things will always happen. And who is that
God, Jehovah Shamah who is always there.
Friends, the reason why we fear sometimes is that we are not
conscious of the presence of Jehovah Shamah who is always there. If he is
there, then certain things cannot be disorderly in your life. We are going to
be praying in a short while so that the name Jehovah Shamah can manifest in our
lives.

Dear Lord Jesus, I want to thank you for the special
privilege that you have granted to me to come before your presence at this
hour. Thank you for the revelation of your word that has given me a new
dimension of who Jehovah Shamah is to me. To you be all the glory Lord, in
Jesus name.
Holy Father, I come before you today to ask for mercy in any
area of my life that I have not recognised that you are always there as my
Jehovah Shamah.
Heavenly Father, I pray today that you baptised me with the
consciousness of the ever-abiding presence of Jehovah Shamah with me in the
name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I have seen from your word that the Lord is
that spirit, and where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. By the
reason of the fact that Jehovah Shamah is here, I make demands that every
bondage in my life be broken in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I asked today that you will release the grace
for me to effectively utilise the presence of Jehovah Shamah that is always
there for me in the name of Jesus.
Righteous Father, from today, I make demands for the grace
to walk in the reality of this new revelation that I have received from your
hand that Jehovah Shamah is always there so that whenever situations of life
confront me I will always remember that Jehovah Shamah is with me in the name
of Jesus.
Thank you, Jehovah Shamah, for hearing and answering all of
my prayers at this moment to you be all the glory, honour and adoration in the
name of Jesus.
Jehovah El Roi
The Bible tells us that our God never sleeps nor slumbers.
Why does he not sleep or slumber? So that he can see all the time. And that is
the meaning of Jehovah El Roi. The God who sees.
Genesis 16:13
And she called the name of the Lord that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said,
Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?
Some people used to take for granted whenever they are told
that my God is watching, God sees. It is a very powerful prayer that the
believer shouldn’t take for granted whenever it is offered. When someone mocks
you, God sees. When they are planning evil against you, God sees. When they are
trying to undermine the blessings of God upon your life, God sees. When they
are conspiring to destroy your life, God sees. When they are preparing their
witchcraft attack against your life in the coven of witchcraft, God sees.
Whatever they are doing against your life, God sees. And what will he do, he
will intervene as a God that sees, Jehovah El Roi. There are unseen battles
that God is fighting for you without your knowledge that is why the Bible says
God sees, Jehovah El Roi.
Many times when you tell people that, God is watching, God
sees, they feel it’s nothing. It is a very powerful prayer if you understand
the mystery behind the revelation of that type of prayer. When David was being
pursued by Saul to destroy him, he met him one day at the cave and said, the
Lord look upon us and judge. What was David saying? He was saying, Jehovah El
Roi sees or God is watching. I have not done anything to you but you have been
seeking my life to take it. Jehovah El Roi sees. And what was the action of
Jehovah El Roi, the God that sees? Saul was judged, and he died in the battle.
Friends, when your hands are clean and you have done nothing
wrong to any man, and they are threatening your life, a simple prayer that
Jehovah El Roi sees can bring a severe judgement to whoever is trying you. The
Bible tells us that vengeance is of the Lord. Whenever you decide not to take
matters into your hands, you are giving God the express permission to do whatever
he feels good in his heart. If David was given a choice to execute judgement
upon the life of Saul, his persecutor, he may have said, let Saul perish that
is all. He wants rest. Since he did not take his hand against the Lord’s
anointed, Saul, he permitted God to execute the type of judgement that was in
God’s heart. And what was the judgement that God executed? The entire family
line of Saul was destroyed. The next person who was supposed to sit on the
throne after Saul, Jonathan also died in battle.
2 Samuel 1:4
And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee,
tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of
the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead
also.
The judgement of God upon the life of Saul extended even to his
generation to the extent that, Mephibosheth one of Saul’s sons, was living like
a beggar.
Friends, if you have done nothing wrong a prayer that
Jehovah El Roi sees is a very powerful one and can bring a devastating
judgement from God. It is not everyone that looks for your trouble that you go
ahead to pray. I want you to understand this in the context of the revelation I
am sharing with you so that no one misquotes me that I discouraged people from
praying when they are confronted with issues of life. That is not what I mean.
It isn’t everything that you pray about if you have a proper understanding of
the word of God, especially the manifestation of Jehovah El Roi. If he sees it,
he will take action certainly. Nobody will come and look for the trouble of his
son or his daughter and God watches on with his hands folded.
I heard from God’s servant Dr Pastor Paul Enenche that
someone looked for the trouble in his wife. He went to see the man who did that
to his wife. The man of God told him we will see. After a few weeks, the man
lost his job. He didn’t insult the man, and neither was he physical with him. He
only told him that we will see. And the judgement that was in the heart of
Jehovah El Roi, the God who sees, was the loss of the job of that man. No
prayer was offered. Nothing was done physically in the form of confrontation. I
pray that this understanding of Jehovah El Roi the God who sees will begin to
manifest in our lives in the name of Jesus.
Reflection
Psalms 121:4
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor
sleep.
Isaiah 41:10
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am
thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee
with the right hand of my righteousness.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, thank you for the privilege and the opportunity that
you have given to me to come to a new understanding of this revelation of who
Jehovah El Roi is to me. Be praised Lord, in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I ask today that the name Jehovah El Roi will
begin to manifest in every area of my life in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I make demands for the grace to walk in the
light of the revelation that you’ve given to me that you are Jehovah El Roi,
the God that sees everything in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I make demands for the consciousness to always
carry myself with the mindset that Jehovah El Roi is my God so that whenever
the situations of life come against me, I will always remember that you are
Jehovah our Roi in my life in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I make demands today that those who require an
encounter of the judgemental dimension of Jehovah El Roi will receive that
judgemental dimension in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I ask today that you will help me with
understanding and cooperation with the spirit of God so that whenever I need to
allow Jehovah El Roi to take judgement and decisions on my behalf, I allow him.
And whenever I am supposed to take an action, I take that action. I receive the
grace not to take matters into my hands when it is Jehovah El Roi, the God who
sees that should act. I also receive the grace to take an action where I am
supposed to take action in the name of Jesus.
Righteous Father, every witchcraft attack against my life
that requires an encounter with Jehovah El Roi, the God who sees even their
witchcraft practices, be manifested to them now in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, I have seen from your word that it was Jehovah
El Roi who visited Laban in the night and warned him against doing anything to
the life of Jacob because you saw the innocence of Jacob. I make demands today
that anyone who needs a warning from Jehovah El Roi so that they will stop
perpetuating wickedness against my life should receive it now in the name of
Jesus.
Thank you, Jehovah El Roi, for your answers to my prayers in
the name of Jesus.
Jesus
Jesus is severally known in the Bible as Emmanuelle,
Redeemer, the alpha and omega, the anointed one, Christ Jesus, the deliverer,
and several other wonderful names ascribed to him in the Bible. There will be
no need for us to pray for each of these names differently. Once we have prayed
in the name of Jesus, it covers every other name that was given to him.
Every time you pray in the name of Jesus, certain things are
happening to you.
The tower of the name of Jesus
The Bible tells us that the name of the Lord is a strong
tower the righteous run to it and are saved. When you pray in the name of
Jesus, you are praying a tower over your life.
Proverbs 18:10
The name of the Lord is
a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
The authority in the name of Jesus
The Bible tells us that the demons tremble at the name of
Jesus. The name of Jesus alone is a weapon of terrorism against the kingdom of
darkness. So whenever you pray in the name of Jesus, you are terrorising the
kingdom of darkness.
Philippians 2:8-10
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and
became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a
name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things
in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
The Name and the Blood of Jesus.
It is impossible to refer to the blood of Jesus without the
name of Jesus. Whenever you are praying the blood of Jesus, you are also praying
the name of Jesus. The Bible tells us that, the blood of Jesus speaks better
things than the blood of Abel.
Reflection
Philippians 2:10
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things
in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
Romans 14:11
For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee
shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
Prayer
Lord, Jesus, thank you for this revelation that I have
received from the word today to you be all the glory and honour in the name of
Jesus.
Holy Father, I shield myself, my loved ones, and all those
who are connected to me against the onslaught of darkness in the name of Jesus.
Holy Father, the Bible tells us that at the mention of the
name of Jesus every knee must bow and every tongue must confess that Jesus
Christ is Lord. I stand today before the throne of grace and I pray that:
The knee of infirmity
bows to the name of Jesus
The knee of oppression
bows to the name of Jesus
The knee of negative
dreams in the night bow to the name of Jesus
The knee of nightmares
bows to the name of Jesus.
The knee of infirmity
bows to the name of Jesus.
The knee of a satanic
attack bow to the name of Jesus.
The knee of satanic
poverty that has been orchestrated in the realm of the spirit bow to the name
of Jesus.
The knee of shame and
reproach that the enemy has planted into my life, bow to the name of Jesus.
The knee of
retrogression in life bows to the name of Jesus.
The knee of limitation
planted upon my life and the life of my family, from today I command you to bow
to the name of Jesus.
The roots of
generational curses, I command you today to bow to the name of Jesus.
Lord, I know that everything has a knee, I command
everything contrary to the representation of who God is in my life to bow to
the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, today I command every arrow of destruction
that has been released against my life and family, to be destroyed in the name
of Jesus.
Holy Father, every form of pain that the enemy has planted
against my life and family, today I command it to disappear in the name of
Jesus.
Thank You, Sweet Jesus, for the privilege to pray your name,
in Jesus name.
