Who IS Your God??!!!!

 Let's begin taking a look at who our God is.....

A

Almighty

Genesis 35:11 -  Then God said, “I am El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty.’ Be fruitful and multiply. You will become a great nation, even many nations. Kings will be among your descendants!

Revelations 11:17 - saying, “To You we give thanks, O Lord God Almighty [the Omnipotent, the Ruler of all], Who are and Who were, because You have taken Your great power and the sovereignty [which is rightly Yours] and have [now] begun to reign.

Job 34:12 - “Surely God will not act wickedly, Nor will the Almighty pervert justice.

Question: is the Lord God Almighty truly the Ruler of your life?

B.

Banner

Exodus 17:15 -  Moses built an altar there and named it Yahweh Nissi (which means “the LORD is my banner”). 

Read Exodus 17:8-15... .as long as as Moses held up the rod of God, the Israelites succeeded. Afterwards, Moses built an altar, recognizing that it is God who is like unto the "rod of God" that we hold up. He is our Banner. We put Him forth and we succeed...

Question: Are you holding Jesus up as the Banner of your life.

C.

Cornerstone

Ephesians 2:20 - Together, we are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself.

1 Peter 2:6 - Forgot this is contained in Scripture: “BEHOLD, I AM LAYING IN ZION A CHOSEN STONE, A PRECIOUS (honored) CORNERSTONE, AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM [whoever adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Him] WILL NEVER BE DISAPPOINTED [in his expectations].”

Isaiah 28:16 -  Therefore the Lord GOD says this, “Listen carefully, I am laying in Zion a Stone, a tested Stone, A precious Cornerstone for the [secure] foundation, firmly placed. He who believes [who trusts in, relies on, and adheres to that Stone] will not be disturbed or give way [in sudden panic].

What does Cornerstone mean?

It is the rock upon which the weight of the entire structure rests. It is the cornerstone. Scripture describes Jesus as the "Chief Cornerstone" of our faith.

Question: is the entirety of your life totally dependent on Jesus? Is He your Cornerstone?

  1. I like what you said about Jesus being the cornerstone....upon which the whole weight of the structure is supported. He is faithful so he can handle the weight of our daily lives, and the struggles we face. He can uphold us.
