Dear ones in Christ,
God wants to bless His children. God’s children should exalt God’s name to be blessed. In Exodus – 20:24, we read, “An altar if earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee and I will bless thee”. “Make a special Altar” for me… Do this in every place where I tell you to remember me. Then I will come and bless you. We should exalt God’s name and glorify His name. Let us see why we should glorify God’s name.
- He is wonderful:
In Isaiah – 9:6, we read, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called wonderful, counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace”. His name is wonderful; He is able to do wonderful things. No one on this earth is equal to our God in might, counsel, power and in giving peace to man. So we should glorify God’s name. - His name is high above all names:
In Philippians – 2: 9, 10, 11, we read, “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father”. So we should glorify God’s name. Every knee shall bow before Him. God rules over everything. So we should glorify His name.
3. He is the King of kings and Lord of lords:
In Revelation – 19:16, we read, “And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS”. He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. So we should glorify His name.
- From the rising of the sun even unto the going down His name is worthy to be praised: In Psalms – 113: 1, 2, 3, Malachi – 1: 11, Revelation – 5: 8, we read, “From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD”S name is to be praised”. Malachi – 1: 11, “For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto me name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts”.
Moreover in Deuteronomy – 28:10, Revelation – 5: 13, we read, “And all the people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee”. Revelation – 5: 13, “And every creature which is in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever”. As all the creatures praise God, we should glorify God’s name. - We should fear the name of the Lord:
In Malachi – 4: 2, we read, “But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteous ness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall”. He is the Sun of righteousness. Under his wings is the healing. So we should glorify God’s name
My dear friends! In every place where we exalt God’s name, He will come and bless us. We should exalt and glorify and worship His name. the righteous will run in the name of the Lord and will be safe. His name is a strong fort. Inside the fort is the healing and rest. When we lift up the name of the Lord and glorify His name, miracles and wonderful things happens. When He is lifted up, He gathers many to Himself. He gives us good health and victory over the evil spirits. So whenever we come together let us glorify the name of the Lord!
