| The seven redemptive names of God |
1. Jehovah-Jireh: Literally means "The Lord Our Provider" what is a provider, some one who make something available for another person, God is our provider and we can call him Jehovah- jireh.
Gen.22.14 - And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
How do God provide for us?
1. He gave us life: Considering the most grateful thing God did for us daily is the provision of breath of which NO man can afford, even though scientist make artificial oxygen, that cannot sustain human being, God is so wonderful and he provides us with life which No one can buy therefore let us daily call him Jehovah-Jireh: Genesis 22:8
2. He shelter us: They are thousands of hopeless people around the world who have no shelter but wander from street to street looking for were the can put their head overnight because of shelter but here we are daily, God shelter us by protecting us from harm of evil ones, what a great God. Here what the bible said here in Rom.8.32 - He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

3. He cloths us: You might ask how do God cloth us? God cloth us from shame, if you have ever see someone who been beaten because of stealing you would have understand how shameful the felt but God is so mercy for towards us.
4. He provides us food: He provide us daily with food just has the birds of the air have no barn but daily eat, that's how he daily gives us food, God told us not to take no thought of tomorrow, Jehovah-Jireh provide us with food daily.

2. Jehovah-Nissi which meansThe Lord Our Banner.
Exodus 17:10-16
10 So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the
hill. 11 As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands,
the Amalekites were winning. 12 When Moses' hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he
sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained
steady till sunset. 13 So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword.
14 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write this on a scroll as something to be remembered and make sure that
Joshua hears it, because I will completely blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven."
15 Moses built an altar and called it The LORD is my Banner. 16 He said, "For hands were lifted up to the throne
of the LORD. The [a]
LORD will be at war against the Amalekites from generation to generation."
We see that Moses lifted up his hands. What’s the principle? It’s the principle of victory in prayer.
Prayer is a total dependence on God. Hands lifting up means to depend on God. Moses fought from
victory.
2Cor 2:14
14But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads
everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. The Christian life is always victorious. We are always overcomers. There will be sickness, wars,
earthquakes but we will always overcome. In 2 Cor 2:14, the key word is “in Christ”. Jesus is our
victorious one. Are you experiencing victory or are you defeated and constantly discouraged? Are
you not growing spiritually? There may be negatives in the cell group but we can still grow. Are you
struggling with finances or undergoing spiritual attack? If you are married, it doesn’t mean there are
no quarrels but it means coming out stronger than before.
John 15:5

"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from
me you can do nothing.
Phil 4:13
13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
What’s the key? The key is in Christ. We have our hands lifted up. We do so with total surrender to
God. We go to Him confessing our faults. Find someone to pray with. That’s why the altar is always
there for you. God wants us to belong to a Christian community. Erase from our minds that there is
a perfect cell group out there. We need to grow up. The problem is when we stagnate and don’t
grow. If God is our strength, our walk in life will be sure-footed.
Habakkuk 3:19
The LORD God is my strength. He will make my feet like deer’s feet, and He will make me walk on my high hills.

3. Jehovah-Shallom means;The Lord Our Peace.
A. The importance of having the peace from God (Jeremiah 16:5)
The basic origin of peace comes from God. The word, ‘peace’ is’ shalom’ in Hebrew. In Greek, it is called ’eirene’.
In Jeremiah 16:5, God said that He had taken peace from the land. What were the consequences
when peace was taken away from them? They faced rapes, murder, invasion, etc.
Peace comes from God. When there is peace, there is well being. There is peace in this nation. Why?
It’s because we pray for it. One of the things we do at the monthly worship and intercession session
is praying for our country. There is no peace for the wicked, no peace for such who disregard the ways
of God. How do we have the peace with God? That brings us to the next point.
B. To have peace from God, we must first have peace with God, Romans 5:1
We need to be justified. We need to start with having a intimacy with God. When we have peace
with God, then we have the peace of God. The peace of God will guard our heart and our mind in
Christ Jesus. (Phil 4:6,7)
We must then know the God of peace to overcome the evil one and this world. (Romans 16:20)
The God of peace will fight our battles. Are we currently struggling with peace? Are you having fears
of failed pregnancies, ill health, fear of man, fear of being embarrassed? The devil will steal, kill and
destroy our peace. How do we have peace?
2 Pet 1:2
Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
If we are ignorant of His word, we are not going to have His peace. That’s why we spend many
Sundays calling the names of God. How do I obtain favor of God? It is by knowing the names of
God and connecting heaven to earth as we appropriate and receive.

4. His Presence As Jehovah-Shamah: means The Lord Is Present.
Ezek.48.35 - "The four sides of the city measure to a total of nearly six miles. "From now on the name of the city will be YAHWEH-SHAMMAHGOD-IS-THERE."
God is always there. Jesus was called Immanuel, God with us. God is everywhere. He is with us
when we go to market, to our working place, Power Station. We deliberately deaden our conscience to the
voice of God when we go to questionable places. We may take the grace of God for granted. Some
may think that they can enjoy pleasures of sin first, then repent later. God will never leave nor
forsake us. Yet, He will also not be mocked. We ask questions, “Why?” or “Where is God?” when we
suffer. He is right there besides us. Don’t judge God by circumstances. Look at Calvary, look at the cross. His love was
fully demonstrated at Calvary. When we were far from Him, He looked out for our return. In our
pains, quarrels, work, situations, He is there besides us. This is our God. He is such a beautiful God.
That’s why we respond and worship Him.
Isaiah 43:22
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not
sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
God will not allow us to be in a situation we cannot overcome.

5. Our Purity Through Jehovah-Tsidkenu means The Lord Our Righteousness.
God is righteous God, he hate anything unclean in Romans 5:17
…much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through
the One, Jesus Christ.
A gift is given to be received. What is righteousness? As mentioned, it is right standing with God. By
it, we have confidence to come into the presence of God. How do we receive the gift? It is the
divine exchange. 2 Cor 5:21
2 Cor 5:21
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
‘Jesus who knew no sin…’means He was sinless and not deserving death. We deserve death but if we
receive the gift of righteousness, we will live eternally. It is the righteousness of God, not yours or
mine, not one attained by performance. It is a gift meant to be received yet many struggle with guilt
and condemnation. We struggle because the devil reminds us of the past, i.e. it might have been a
shot-gun marriage, abortion, a guilty conscience, shame, etc. Why do we have a guilty conscience?
It’s because we have not appropriated the forgiveness of God.
Romans 8:1,2
1There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the
flesh but according to the Spirit. 2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law
of sin and death.
Romans 8:1 is not for everyone. It is for people who walk according to the Spirit. Ignorance is not
bliss. The problem we face is a problem about discipleship, a crisis about His lordship, obedience and
abiding in the Word.
1 Timothy 1:19
‘…having faith and a good conscience which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered
shipwreck.’
With a guilty conscience, we will have no confidence to pray or to serve God. We will trip and
stumble. 1 Tim 1:19 calls upon us to have faith and a good conscience. All our sins, past, present
and future ones are all forgiven by the Jesus. All our lawless deeds He remembers no more. What’s
the issue? It’s about our conscience. As he has been cast out of God’s presence, the devil resorts to
accusing us directly. How do we handle a guilty conscience?
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
He forgives because the price has been paid by Jesus. Hebrews 10:19 says we have boldness to enter
the Holiest by the blood of Jesus. Our hearts have been sprinkled from an evil conscience and our
bodies washed with pure water.
Jeremiah 23:6; Luke 1:74-75; Romans 6:18-22. Our life is hid with Christ in God.
6. Our Plenitude Through Jehovah-Raah meaningThe Lord Is Our Shepherd.
Ps.23.1 - GOD, my shepherd! I don't need a thing.
Who is a shepherd: is someone who look after sheeps, who take of them.
Behavior and character of shepherds
1. Decision Making: The good Shepherd speaks to His sheep to provide guidance.
We have heard of discerning the will of God and of hearing the voice of God. How does God guide us?
Heb 8:10
10This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws
in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
Heb 10:16
16"This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts,
and I will write them on their minds."
2: Guidance: We are guided by 2 fundamentals, by the scriptures and the inward witness of the Holy Spirit. The Word gives the parameters and the Spirit gives the details. When He touches hearts and minds, we
surrender to Him. Throughout rest of life, we will face the issues of His guidance again and again. We
need to stay with him. It’s just about decision making.

7. Our Perfect Health From Jehovah-Rapha meaningThe Lord Our Healer.
Exodus 15:26
“…and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight,
give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which
I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals.”
The word Raphs In some translations, instead of ‘Rapha’, the word, ‘Rophe’ is used. They are the same, meaning the LORD Our healer or the LORD who heals. How does He provide healing? It is provided in the atonement.
Isaiah 53:4-5
4.Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the
punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.
Matthew 8:16,17
16When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits
with a word and healed all the sick. 17This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: "He took
up our infirmities and carried our diseases.
When Jesus healed the sick, it was to fulfill what Jesus died for. It includes healing of the physical
body, healing of the emotions and healing of one’s mental state of mind. Many go about burnt out in
the ministry. This is due to a lack of care for the body or being overcome by offences, hurts, wounds
and aches. Healing is available. How?
in James 5:16
16Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a
righteous man is powerful and effective.
