Scripture
Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, And the Lord listened and heard them; so, a book of remembrance was written before Him
For those who fear the Lord And who meditate on His name (Malachi 3:16)
Explanation
Do you realise that Jesus Christ is God in the New Testament dispensation?
He is the Lord from Genesis to Revelation. He is the only begotten Son. He is the Lord and Savior. That is why John 3:16 says that For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. If you believe in Jesus, it is a promise that you will not perish, but you will have access to everlasting life.
As you meditate on the name of God, you can also meditate on the Name of Jesus. Jesus is the Living Word. He was present at creation. He is God that came in the appearance of a man. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made (John 1:1-3).
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and go, I am with you always, even to the end of the age (Matthew 28:18-20, NKJV). This is why the scripture says: Therefore, God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name, which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:9-11, NKJV). His name carries the totality of Heavens, authority, and the Power of God. As you meditate on the Name of Jesus, and use the name, you will experience the authority that is His name. Glory be to God.
Stay tune as we shall continue further tomorrow. Remain uncommonly blessed.
Confession
I am a covenant child of God. In Your Word I meditate day and night. I declare that no weapon fashioned against me shall prosper. Every tongue that speaks against me shall be condemned. I bind every limiting power against my life, and I lose my life from the grip of Darkness. I declare the blessing of the Lord over my life in the name of Jesus . Glory be to God.
