    SOVEREIGNTY

    1 Kings 2:26

And the king said to Abiathar the priest, Go to Anathoth, to thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death; but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou didst bear the ark of ADONAI JEHOVAH before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.

    This is the first and only time the word ADONAI is used in the Bible as descriptive of one of God's Names. Though there are attachments to the Name ADONAI, as we will see further on, this is the only time the single definition of ADONAI is indicated.

Thus says the LORD, the King and Redeemer of Israel, the LORD of Hosts: "I am The First and I am The Last, and there is no God but Me."

For The LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, mighty, and awesome God, showing no partiality and accepting no bribe.

Come and be washed in the blood of The Lamb, that your sins would be washed away from your hearts when you repent of them. Come and receive The Spirit of God into your life that you may live a holy and righteous life in the presence of God. That you may be ready to meet Jesus in the air when The Father sends Him to bring His bride home.

    Come to the garden and be raised up in newness of life, ready to walk in the strength of The Lord and be filled with the power of His Holy Spirit to speak forth the gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ. That all who hear may believe and receive, as well.

RHIZA IESSAI

(pronounced hrid'-zah es-es-sah'-ee)

ROOT OF JESSE

*Strong's Ex. Conc. No. 4491

Root: descendant, progeny, source

From the Greek word 'rhiza): that which like a root springs from a root.

JEHOVAH-NISSI

Names of Christ Series

While Moses acknowledged that God is over all, he is not the only one in the Old Testament to realize this.
1 Chronicles 29:10-13

 {10} Then David blessed the LORD in the sight of all the assembly and said: “May You be blessed, O LORD, God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. (11) Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor and the majesty, for everything in heaven and on earth belongs to You. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom, and You are exalted as head over all. (12) Both riches and honor come from You, and You are the ruler over all. In Your hands are power and might to exalt and give strength to all. (13) Now therefore, our God, we give You thanks, and we praise Your glorious name."

Do we always acknowledge this? No, to our shame we do not. We need to get back to the altar, repent of our sin against God for not acknowledging that He is God over all, first and foremost in our lives. 

Dear Heavenly Father, 

I know now that You are indeed Lord of All creation, Lord of heaven and earth, Lord of all kingdoms and ruler-ships. Forgive me of this my sin against You. Lead me in Your ways, according to Your will and purpose for my life. Continue to teach me Your Word, planting it deep within my heart, and sanctify me with Your Holy Spirit. 

In Jesus' Name,

Amen.
