From The Minister's Heart

A NAME ABOVE ALL OTHER NAMES

Many times, we as christians, take on the mind and/or exemplify the role of the world. We get caught up in self, as others do. We try to show our best side, but if we don't stay in the word and follow Jesus; we will find ourselves drifting to worldly idols.

Many times our mind is focused on the media: tv, radio and technology, etc. to keep us abreast of what is happening in the world. It is good to know about things/happenings around us, but lets not loose focus of the Light of the world, Jesus..

We usually stay in tune with : Who the best known actor is, movie producer, comedian, author, etc. These people name and achievements stick with us for some reason or another. More than anything else we should stay in touch with Jesus and follow his mission and fame. He has a name that is above all other names; because he is Lord of lords and King of kings.

Sometimes our jobs or functions cause us to stay in touch with worldly things and happenings. We do what we have to do, to work and provide for our family, and this is ok.

God says, He is a jealous God; and we shouldn't have any other god before him; becausee there is no power in any other name except in the name of Jesus. Some may dispute this statemment and say the devil has power. According to the bible, Jesus has all power, and the devil has only the power that we give him. When we were born, starting with Adam and Eve; God gave us dominion over the earth and everything there in.


I John 2: 15-17
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.  If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

And the world passeth away, and lust  thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.


These are very famous names to look for in our bible; and we can find out more about his famous teachings and miracles:

Jehovah Elohim - Lord God - Judges 5:3; Deutoronomy 10:17
Jehovah Shammah - The Lord is Present - Ezekiel 48:35
Jehovah Rapha - Our Lord who Heals - Exodus 15:26
Jehovah  Jireh   - The Lord will Provide - Genesis 22:14
Jehovah Shalom - The Lord our Peace - Judges 6:24


Lets continue to get wrapped up, tied up, tangled up and caught up in the name of Jesus.

Until we meet again soon.
