“You Have Magnified Your Word Above Your Name”
Reference: Psalms Chapter 138
The Word of God went out and created the universe.
Genesis 1:3,6,9,11,14,20,24,26,29 “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. [6] And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. [9] And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. [11] And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. [14] And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: [20] And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. [24] And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. [26] And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. [29] And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.”
God’s Word is magnified above His Name.
His Word creates, heals, conforts, and builds.
His Word brings peace, joy, and serenity.
His Word is life.
This Word is Who became flesh and dwelled among men and women.
John 1:1-3,14 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] The same was in the beginning with God. [3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. [14] And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
Jesus Christ was on earth giving testimony of the Word of God.
John 17:8,17,20 “For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. [17] Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. [20] Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word.”
It’s the Word of God that connect men and women to God. The Word cannot lie, and God cannot take back His Word.
He has placed His Word far above everything, even His Name.
The Psalmist declares.
Let’s read:
Psalm 138:1-2 “I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee. [2] I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.”
The Word of God has a Name.
Revelation 19:13 “And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.”
Jesus Christ the conqueror of Satan, disease, and death is the Name of the Word of God.
Revelation 12:11 “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
It’s the Word of God in us that overcomes all things including Satan, hell, death, and the disease.
We continue our reading:
Psalm 138:3 “In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.”
In weakness, the Word strengthens.
We continue our reading:
Psalm 138:4-7 “All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth. [5] Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD. [6] Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off. [7] Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.”
The Word revives, and had revived us.
The Word fights, and has fought and conquered every enemy of God.
The Word saves, and has saved us.
We conclude our reading:
Psalm 138:8 “The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.”
The Word perfects, and has sanctified and perfected us
Hebrews 10:13-14 “From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. [14] For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.”
Let the Word of God find His residence in you. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Word as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. Thy Word is life, in Christ!
