Jehovah is translated as "The Existing One" or "Lord." The chief meaning of Jehovah is derived from the Hebrew word Havah meaning "to be" or "to exist." It also suggests "to become" or specifically "to become known" - this denotes a God who reveals Himself unceasingly. Nes (nês), from which Nissi derived, means "banner" in Hebrew.

This title is only used once, in Exd 17:15, Moses, recognizing that the Lord was Israel's banner under which they defeated the Amalekites, builds an altar named Jehovah-Nissi (the Lord our Banner). Nes is sometimes translated as a pole with an insignia attached. In battle opposing nations would fly their own flag on a pole at each of their respective front lines. This was to give their soldiers a feeling of hope and a focal point. This is what God is to us: a banner of encouragement to give us hope and a focal point.

YHWH (Yahweh): Lord, Jehovah

In the Old Testament Yahweh occurs 6,519 times. This name is used more than any other name of God. Yahweh is first used in Gen 2:4.

Yahweh is the promised name of God. This name of God which (by Jewish tradition) is too holy to voice, is actually spelled "YHWH" without vowels. YHWH is referred to as the Tetragrammaton (which simply means "the four letters"). YHWH comes from the Hebrew letters: Yud, Hay, Vav, Hay. While YHWH is first used in Genesis 2, God did not reveal Himself as YHWH until Exodus 3. The modern spelling as "Yahweh" includes vowels to assist in pronunciation. Many pronounce YHWH as "Yahweh" or "Jehovah." We no longer know for certain the exact pronunciation. During the third century A.D., the Jewish people stopped saying this name in fear of contravening the commandment "Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain" (Exd 20:7). As a result of this, Adonai is occasionally a substitute for YHWH.

The literal meaning of "YHWH" is "I am", and this speaks of the self-sufficiency and self-existing nature of God. As we consider this name, let us give thanks to God for revealing His personal name to us, which was something many of the patriarchs such as Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, were not given the privilege of experiencing. Our God is a personal God and seeks to have a relationship with each and every one of us. May we strive to prioritise Him in every area of our lives and enjoy a fruitful relationship with our loving Father.

Adonai: Lord, Master

Adonai is the verbal parallel to Yahweh and Jehovah. In the Old Testament Adonai occurs 434 times. There are heavy uses of Adonai in Isaiah (e.g., Adonai Jehovah). It occurs 200 times in Ezekiel alone and appears 11 times in Daniel Chapter 9. Adonai is first used in Gen 15:2.

Adonai is plural; the singular is adon. In reference to God the plural Adonai is used. When the singular adon is used, it usually refers to a human lord. Adon is used 215 times to refer to men. Occasionally in Scripture and predominantly in the Psalms, the singular adon is used to refer to God as well (cf. Exd 34:23). To avoid contravening the commandment "Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain" (Exd 20:7), sometimes Adonai was used as a substitute for Yahweh (YHWH). Adonai can be translated literally as, "my lords' " (both plural and possessive).

As we meditate upon this name of the Lord, let us ask ourselves if we have truly embraced God as our lord and master. Of course, we should not be viewing God as master in the sense of a slave-driver, but as a caring, compassionate and kind master, who is constantly looking out for our good. However, it is crucial to remember our position in relationship to God as our master, and submit to Him in obedience and reverence. May this thought bring you a step closer in your relationship with Him.

Our confidence comes not from ourselves, but standing on the firm foundation of God's love for us by faith!

Though we cannot see God's love, but we know surely it is real and overflowing in abundance!

Feeling dry and lost in your journey of faith?

Keep going with faith as you read every Word from the bible and pray seeking to know Him. In persistence and faith that He hears all prayers and answers all, know that you are getting one step closer and moving forward with God!

So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. (2 Corinthians 4:16)

Beginning the day in prayer with God is important, but ending the day well is also equally important. Let us seek our true rest in God!

He will provide the deep spiritual rest that surpasses the physical rest, which feeds our weary souls with the refreshing cold water of knowing God's precious Word!

Try ending the day with bible reading, worship, prayer and spending time with God to be filled with His Spirit, before you sleep for the night! 😄

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. (2 Corinthians 3:17)

Is there true freedom when there are commandments? There are various commandments in the bible ranging from things you should not do and things you should do. It seems that we are merely following good moral laws to live a righteous life.

Commandments are given with God's heart of love to lead us and guide us to the right path, not to restrict us or burden us. By faith in God's love to obey His commandments, we will find ourselves truly free from the yoke of sin.

Sin enslaves and entangles us in repetitive motions where we find ourselves unable to break free. But by faith in Jesus Christ whom God sent in His abounding love for us, He broke off all chains of sins so that we are no longer slaves to sin but filled with God's righteousness by His blood!

By His blood, we are free to live with joy and no fear because by faith we know God loves us and holds us secure as His children. With the heart of sincere love towards the Father and full faith, so we obey to His commandments.

Yet even all these commandments can be summarized in Romans 13:8-10.

Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. 9 The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet," and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”10 Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Let Christ's love be revealed in our lives for God and His people, that we willingly make ourselves slaves to righteousness (Romans 6) not because we are not free. But because of God's amazing love and grace that He became nothing to give us eternal life!

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14)

Do you know the only man who has absolutely lived out the bible? It is Jesus Christ!

He lived out the bible entirely that in imitating Him surely we know the true life and the way and truth in living for God. The life of Jesus Christ began from His birth, followed by His life of love for many, and to carrying the Cross and being Resurrected, and finally His Ascension!

Each part of His life speaks so deeply about our God and the earnest and endless love God has for each of us. It is through studying the bible that we can come to know Him.

Come join us to know deeper about Jesus Christ in our bible studies and be filled overflowingly with the Holy Spirit to grow in faith! 😊🔥

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matthew 6:21)

What do you consider to be your treasure? You will naturally find yourself spending your time, effort, and money there. It is the worthiest investment in your eyes, but what treasure is most worthy are the imperishable things. Not even thieves could steal them.

And that treasure is to know Jesus Christ through God's Word. In Matthew 13, the parable of the Hidden Treasure speaks of a man who with great joy sold all he had to get the worthiest treasure of all! Seeking God's Word to know Jesus Christ is our greatest joy!

When was the last time you found sweetness in reading the Word of God? Examine your heart's desires and fix it single-mindedly on the greatest treasure of knowing the Word of God! It is only there your heart will be fully satisfied! 😊

El is another name that is translated as "God" and can be used in conjunction with other words to designate various aspects of God's character. Elyon literally means "Most High" and is used adjectivally throughout the Old Testament and expresses the extreme sovereignty and majesty of God, along with His highest preeminence. When the two words are combined - El Elyon - it can be translated as "the most exalted God."(Psa 57:2)

El Elyon occurs 28 times in the Old Testament, with 19 of its appearances in the Psalms alone. Interestingly, it is also used multiple times in the conversation between Abraham and Melchizedek, who was known as "priest of God Most High" (Genesis 14:18).

As the famous hymn "Be Thou My Vision" goes, "Thou and Thou only, first in my heart, High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art", let us remember our God who has revealed Himself to us as the supreme king. With that in mind, purify yourselves in holiness and cast away anything which might rob God of His deserved glory and worship, as it is written: Thou shalt have no other gods before me (Exodus 20:3)
