HIS NAME SAKE
TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
SUNDAY, 2ND APRIL 2017
TOPIC: HIS NAME SAKE
SCRIPTURE: He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake - Psalm 23:3
MEMORY VERSE: Psalms 25:11
DIGGING DEEP: Behind every name is the identity and personality of an individual. The name of a person is very important and it is one of the greatest assets a man has.
The truth is that, the name of a person is the image of the person and it is the first contact between two people. Name is the fuel of personality perception and acceptance.
Name represents what one stands for; it reveals your character, nature and personhood. The power of a name is in the identity it creates. There are names that have become leading franchise today because of the quality they stand for. Simply put name is one thing that determines the expectations people create and what they wish to experience.
When Jesus died and resurrected God gave Him a name that is above every other name. And Jesus said that "all power in heaven and on earth is given to me", so the power of God is invested into the name of Jesus. And been born again, you are given access to the name of Jesus as a son and heir of the kingdom. Our text reveals that "...He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake." This means that:
1. God is interested in the integrity of His name.
2. God will do anything so that the integrity of His name is maintained.
3. Following His leading is important in other not to bring reproach to His name.
4. God wants us to represent His name well.
5. Righteousness is the character of the Person of God revealed in His name. Therefore if His name is abused His character and personality is at stake.
God wants us to represent Him fully and totally. When someone is trying to drag you into what is not consistent with what God represents because of His name say no. If we live with the consciousness of our identity in God through His name, we will be able to stand in righteousness and holiness.
Today, there are many people who lie, swindle, cheat, abuse and do all manner of evil using the name of our Lord. It is not correct because God has nothing to do with sin, or any form of evil. He is holy and pure, there's no trace of darkness in Him.
2 Timothy 2:19 says "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from" Because of His name we must do all we can to eschew evil and stand firmly for God.
We can't represent His name if we have not departed from iniquity. If we must represent God we must be true to His name one hundred percent.
Finally, because of his name sake He delivers us (Ps. 79:9), He forgives us (Ps. 25:11) and many more.
PRAYER: O Lord, i refuse to misrepresent your name in Jesus' name.
