THE GLORIOUS NAME OF GOD

Exodus 33:18-19.

And he said, “Please, show me Your glory.”19 Then He said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”

The Bible says Peter and John went together into the temple at the hour of prayer, and there was a man born lame from his mother's womb, being carried daily to the temple of Beautiful Gate, begging for alms as they entered the temple.

Acts 3:1-16.

When he saw Peter and John approaching the temple, he begged for money. Peter gazing at him declared "silver and gold have I none; but such as I have to give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. Instantly the man began to walk, leaping and praising God." The glorious name of JESUS healed him.

In our opening scripture, Moses pleaded with God to show him His glory, but in God’s response, He made His goodness known to Moses and finally proclaimed His name. This means the glory of God and His name are inseparable and are accompanied by his goodness.

Philippians 2:9 says God exalted Jesus to the highest place and gave Him the name above all names, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth and this is the name you carry to do greater works and resist the devil as peter used it to heal the broken man.

Jesus said in His prayers; "the glory you give me, I have given it to them." This is what you possess, the name of Jesus above all names, full of God’s glory.

Thus, apply it in everyday life and experience grace in Jesus’ name.
