Topic: Is His Name Revered? [Teens’ Open Heavens 22nd, March 2018]

Memorise: He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. – Psalm 111:9

Read: Psalm 111:9-10

9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.

10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

Bible In One Year: Joshua 7-8, Luke 2:25-52

MESSAGE:

When in danger or in an emergency, who do you call?

“Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.” Psalm 20:7

The psalmist here says that some may call on chariots and some on horses, but he will call on the name of the Lord. If you must be victorious in life’s battles, you must call on the name of Jesus purposely, deliberately, in faith and with lots of expectations. Some people use the name of Jesus without honoring it; no wonder the name hardly works for them. If they miss a step, they shout Jesus! If tea burns their tongue, they shout Jesus! If someone touches them from behind, they shout Jesus! The name has become an exclamation. Before they speak for several minutes, they will call the name several times devoid of honour. if you want that name to work for you, you must learn to call it with purpose, respect, honour and humility. Begin to attach honour, fear and reverence to His name.

Key Point: Do not call the name of the Lord in vain.

Hymn 8:

1. Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.

2. Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might;
Thy justice like mountains high soaring above,
Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.

3. To all life thou givest, to both great and small;
In all life Thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish-but nought changeth Thee.

4. Great Father of Glory, pure Father of Light,
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;
All laud we would render; o help us to see;
‘Tis only the splendour of light hideth Thee.

5. Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.
