Psalm 111:9 He
sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy
and reverend is his name.
Psalm 111:10 The
fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all
they that do his commandments: his praise endurethfor ever.
MESSAGE
When in danger or in an emergency, who do you call?
Some
trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the
LORD our God.
Psalm 20:7
The Psalmist here says some may call on chariots
and some may call on horses but he will call on the Lord. If you must be
victorious in life's battles, you must call on the name of Jesus purposely,
deliberately, in faith and with lots of expectations. Some people use the name
of Jesus without honouring Him; no wonder the name hardly works for them. If
they miss a step, they shout Jesus! If the tea burns their tongue, they shout
Jesus! If someone touches them from behind, they shout Jesus! The name has
become an exclamation mark. Before they speak for three minutes, they will call
the name several times devoid of honour. If you want that name to work for you,
you must learn to call it with purpose, respect, honour and humility.
One of the things God frowns at is using His name in vain. Exodus 20:7
says,
Thou
shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold
him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Ordinarily, you do not call the name of your father
or mother anyhow. When you call their name, you do it with some sense of
respect and honour. If you do so to mortals, how much more should you treat
God's name with reverence? Psalm 111:9 says,
He
sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy
and reverend is his name.
God's name must be highly revered above all others
because Philippians 2:9-11 says it has been exalted above every other name. Do
you know that the way you call the name of Jesus indicates whether you have the
fear of God or not? A wise person will call the name of Jesus with lots of fear
and worship. If you call Him like you are calling a servant, if He answers at
all, it will be out of mercy. Many of us cannot call God's servants the way we
call God. What an irony! Repent, and adjust today. Begin to attach honour, fear
and reverence to His name.

POINT
When it comes to reverencing God and what He stands
for, we can learn from the devotion of idol worshippers
