Hi Dears Praise The Lord...... (Please Give Me 5Mts To Read This) Jehovah-Jireh Reading: Matthew 1:18-25 They shall call His name Immanuel... Immanuel means, God is with us (Mt 1:23) There is no one who never fears! We all fear. The incarnation of Jesus brought down Gods presence to His people. Immanuel... God with us! (Mt 1:22,23). Apostle John puts this as, The Word became flesh and dwelt among us (Jn 1:14). Here then is the prime reason why we need not fear: God is with us! (Psa 118:6; Heb 13:6). In the redemptive blessings conveyed through the seven covenant Names of Jehovah we have the antidotes for fear. There is a reflection of each of these in the events associated with the birth of Christ. Jesus came in flesh and blood to release us from the lifetime bondage of fear (Heb 2:14,15). We will meditate on these seven Names today and the next three days. Jehovah-Jireh Abraham called the name of the place, Jehovah-Jireh, where God provided for him a lamb for sacrifice (Gen 22:14). He climbed down from the mountain shouting joyfully, The Lord provided! Referring to this incident, Jesus commented, Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad (Jn 8:56). Fear is the tax that conscience pays to guilt. Adam knew no fear before he sinned (Gen 3:8-11). But the substitutionary death of Christ has paid in full the penalty for our sin. His blood cleanses us from all guilt (Heb 9:14). We are now released from all fear, including the fear of death which is the worst of all (Heb 2:14,15). The angel told Joseph to name Marys Son as Jesus which means Saviour. Yes, the supreme mission of Christ is saving His people from their sins (Mt 1:21). Therefore we have no condemnation whatsoever (Rom 8:1). Dont allow the devil to intimidate you by pointing to any failure or lapse in your life. The Lamb of God has taken away all your sin. Disbelieve the lies of the devil. Confess the full provision made for you in Calvary. Sing aloud, Rolled away, Rolled away, Rolled away; The burden of my sin rolled away! Never fear! Christ the Saviour, Gods anointed, Comes to earth our fearful debt to pay— Man of Sorrows, and rejected, Lamb of God, that takes our sin away!
