MP3: Jehovah is Your Name – Dr UD OBI

Jehovah is Your Name is inspired by God’s faithfulness and his assured presence in my life during my time of need.  A few years ago during COVID, I was going through a very difficult time; overwhelmed with life and health challenges that I felt that all hope was lost.

As a way to deal with my many challenges, I turned to God in prayer and by reading the bible more. At one of my devotional time, I was reading the bible and two verses keeps coming to me;Genesis 16 where Hagar a slave woman who was abused and facing a lot of afflictions gave God the name El Roi, (The God Who Sees Me) when God came to her rescue

And also the book of  Isaiah; 42:8 where it said  “I am Jehovah, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise unto graven images”I meditated on these passages for months and would always turn to them for comfort, believing that one day, Jehovah our God will also see me through. Over time, I came to the realization that God has always seen my afflictions and pains.

As he is always there to comfort me with his love and reassurance and message of hope in good times and in times of trials even when things don’t seem to be going how I would ideally want them to. It then dawned on me that God has actually given me those verses as a reassurance of his unwavering love and presence. And he has also given them to me as a new song to share with the world. Jehovah Is His Name, He Will Never Change and He Sees Us.
