This whole week, the tune of this song, Jehovah You are the Most High God, kept ringing in my mind. I would like to encourage my readers to listen to the lyrics of this song as you read my note for today.
Psalm 57:2 (NLT) I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me.
The Hebrew word most often translated as ”God Most High” is Elohim ( or EL) Elyown.
In the title LORD Most High, the Hebrew words are Elohim Yahweh. When we declare that our God is the Most High God, it means there is no god, no idol or created being that should be worshipped or exalted above Yahweh, the Lord, because He is superior in every way.
Sadly, why are Christians going through some form of suffering or struggles in life? What is the key to overcoming the sufferings of a Christian? What is the solution to a struggle? I am dedicating these note to my fellow Christian brothers and sisters today.
You may be in a financial situation and assume your solution is financial freedom.
You may receive a bad medical report, and you assume your solution is your health being restored.
You may be caught in a relationship issue, and you assume your solution is to end the relationship and return to a cave where you don’t have to engage with people.
People come from different walks of life, and everyone has a story to tell. Each has a level of struggle, but I want to share good news with all my readers: There is a solution to all of this.
The solution is to recognize our Jehovah, the Most High God.
When we talk about recognizing, it means acknowledging what our Jehovah can do.
We are in a season where God wants us to know Him as the God Most High. Oftentimes, we get discouraged and disappointed, and indirectly, we turn away from the Lord to find other solutions to solve our matters. Most of the time, we see God being silent, so we try all our human way possible to solve a situation.
Most of the time, the Lord wants us to realign how we acknowledge Him. Are we really recognizing Him as the Lord Most High, or without us realizing it, have we idolized our challenges as more significant than God?
Someone once told me the only lifeline we have with God is prayer. We recognize His existence as we approach the Lord Most High in worship. We must know who we are coming too. We are approaching our Jehovah. We come to a phase of total surrender and awe, knowing He will care for our needs.
The God Most High is inviting us to know Him like never before. The first step to knowing the God Most High is to know He exists. It is difficult to see Him working in our lives without faith that He exists.
Without faith, it is impossible to please God. With faith, we can move mountains and change situations in life.
So the first step is to recognize the existence of this God Most High.
The next step is to acknowledge His position in everything else. We cannot know Him while trying to place Him alongside other gods.
Exodus chap 20: 3 ( NIV) ” You shall have no other gods before me.”
Lastly is to continuously recognize the power of the Blood of Jesus Christ shed for each of us today. This is not a one-day process. It is a lifelong journey. Recognizing the power of this blood overshadows whatever strongholds or demonic spirits that have captured you and your family for years.
A born-again Christian who keeps looking back, searching for his family’s generation’s sin, or playing the blame game of the past can never move forward in life. A born-again Christian who keeps resentment towards his or her loved ones makes it difficult to move forward in life. A born-again Christian who is not open to receiving corrections in life is difficult to progress in life. Born-again Christians who have unforgiveness and bitterness in life find it difficult to move forward in life, and they have allowed their hearts to be filled with weeds. A born-again Christian who has focussed on the mountain of issues in their lives instead of their Jehovah of the Most High, will always have a victim mindset.
We must take full authority over the situation in life and move forward. We reach the impossible because the Lord is with us. Going back to our lifeline is essential. Going back to prayer.Going back to fellowship with the Lord. The blood of Jesus has the power to release the grip of the great curse.
If you are someone here who has been cursed or has kept confessing that you are cursed, or people have cursed you, and life situations have made you in such a situation, pause, stop, and recognize this Jehovah of the Most High. Why focus on the curses or these people when you have Jehovah of the Most High?
When we recognise the supreme power of Jehovah of the Most High and we acknowledge what can this supreme power do, things will have to change for us. This is because we have got the keys to open the locked doors.
What is the key, then? The key is to acknowledge the power of the blood of Jesus Christ. If you feel trapped, the only way to freedom is to receive the gift of salvation.
You may be a Christian from a young age, but maybe it is time to rededicate your life to God again. It is essential to open our hearts again to receive, be equipped, and empower others. You may be in a cave too long. You cannot live life alone. If you are doing this, the devil has trapped you in this manipulative lie.
God is bringing us to a season of reconnecting with fellow believers again and wants to establish His plans in our lives. Trust God once more and let Him bring you into a season of being His witness. Let God work!
Prayer for today: ”Abba, I thank you, Lord for grace. Your grace is sufficient for each of us. I thank you, Lord, You are the Most High God. I give you praise and glory that you are the Lord of the Most High God. As my readers and I go into a journey of rededication, our lives unto you Lord,Help us experience you like never before.I give you glory and praise. Amen
Application:
- Spend time listening to the audio Bible.
