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 name of Amalek from under heaven.” Moses built an altar and called it the Lord is my Banner. He said, “Because hands were lifted up against the throne of the Lord, – Ex 17: 14-16a NIV
Warrior:
Read Psalm 8; Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth. Knowing the NAMES of GOD, allows you to fully understand the POWER OF GOD in your daily walk! What is mankind that GOD is mindful of us, mere CREATURES that He cares for us! HE is the epitome of MERCY and GRACE! JEHOVAH NISSI- the LORD IS MY BANNER!!
Leader, a BANNER is like a big, NAME-TAG, it is an IDENTIFIER! He is our sense of security, He is our IDENTITY! When He is our banner, we have a course of direction to follow, wherever our BANNER goes, we GO! If ‘IT’ goes to the left we go to the left, if He goes to the RIGHT, we go to the right. No Matter what is going on in our lives, we can look to the banner, for we are flying HIS COLORS, HIS FLAG- HIS GLORY!
Conduit, If the BATTLE is the Lord’s, then walk behind HIM as your BANNER and NOT the flag of your own KINGDOM. He is the place of SECURITY and SAFETY. Massah means TESTING and Meribah means quarreling. When we are fighting with ourselves and our enemy and the LORD allows us to be TESTED-STAND FIRM behind JESUS CHRIST. Let it be HIS BATTLE and HIS BANNER that covers you and then make sure that HE gets ALL GLORY and HONOR, forever and ever. Amen!
