Name Above All Names

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning. The 27th of July, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start in the Book of Malachi 1:11 in the Old Testament,

"For from the rising of the sun, even to its going down,
My name shall be great among the Gentiles;…"

Then we go to Matthew 8:8:

"Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed."

There is no other name in Heaven or on Earth by which we may call Him. He is the Saviour of the world. He is the power, the authority, He is healing and salvation. He is God made flesh. You know what the problem is, my dear friend, you and I don't use it enough, do we? We don't make mention of His name enough because for some people it is offensive. I want to tell you something now - we have to start shouting out His name louder than ever before. Isaiah 62:6, the Lord says:

"You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent,…"

We have got to speak it out.

Do you remember that beautiful old song, "It's the Name Above all Names"? Let's try and sing it together:

Its the name above all names, and we will declare it, we will declare it
Its the name above all names, and we will shout it to a dying world.
Who will declare My name? Who will shout My name in the middle of the nations?
Who will take the shield of faith and the sword of My tongue, And declare My name to a dying world?

You who have declared Me thus far, Will walk in even greater power
Though the sands of time are running out, My name will be declared in this final hour
I am Jehovah! I Am that I Am! And My trumpet will soon call out,
I formed the worlds with a whisper But Im getting ready, I'm getting ready, I'm getting ready to shout!

Its the name above all names, and we will declare it, we will declare it, oh, we will declare it!
Its the name above all names, and we will shout it to a dying world.

Go out and shout it from the rooftops,
Jesus bless you and goodbye.
