There is None Like ADONAI!

ADONAI, there is none like YOU and there is no other god besides YOU, as we have heard with our own ears. - 1 Chronicles 17:20 TLV

There are many gods, but there is one true GOD – Adonai. HE is also known by the names, YAHWEH (YHWH), ELOHIM, EL-SHADDAI, JEHOVAH NISSI, JEHOVAH JIREH, JEHOVAH SHALOM, JEHOVAH RAPHA just to name a few.

Have you heard of another god who is as mighty and powerful like our GOD? There is none like HIM and none other to compare to HIM. Our GOD is mighty and powerful – HE does miracles, signs and wonders. HIS love, no one can fathom. HIS love is everlasting. HIS love is steadfast – consistent, it does not change. HE is a deliverer. HE is a provider. HE is a healer. HIS mercy endures forever!

HIS acts are mighty. HE parted the Red Sea for the Israelites when they left Egypt. Then Moses raised his hand over the sea, and the Lord opened up a path through the water with a strong east wind. The wind blew all that night, turning the seabed into dry land. So, the people of Israel walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on each side! – Exodus 14:21-22 NLT. When Joshua and the Israelites obeyed GOD’s instructions, GOD brought down the walls of Jericho. When the people heard the sound of the rams’ horns, they shouted as loud as they could. Suddenly, the walls of Jericho collapsed, and the Israelites charged straight into the town and captured it - Joshua 6:20 NLT.

Our GOD is supreme! Every other god must bow to HIM. They carried the Ark of GOD into the temple of Dagon and placed it beside an idol of Dagon. But when the citizens of Ashdod went to see it the next morning, Dagon had fallen with his face to the ground in front of the Ark of the LORD! So, they took Dagon and put him in his place again. But the next morning the same thing happened—Dagon had fallen face down before the Ark of the LORD again. This time his head and hands had broken off and were lying in the doorway. Only the trunk of his body was left intact – 1 Samuel 5:2-4 NLT.

I join in with David and say ADONAI, there is none like YOU and there is no other god besides YOU! HalleluYah!!!

You Are My Witnesses, says GOD!

You are My Witnesses, says GOD!

But you are my witnesses, O Israel!” says the Lord. You are my servant. You have been chosen to know me, believe in me, and understand that I alone am God. There is no other GOD— there never has been, and there never will be. Isaiah 43:10 NLT

God had chosen the Israelites to be His witnesses to the world. God had called them to be His very own. They would be His people, and He would be their GOD.

It all began when GOD called Abraham to leave his family and country and to follow Him. GOD made a covenant with Abraham and said, ‘And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a GOD unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.’ And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their GOD. Genesis 17:7-8 NLT.

GOD’s plan from the beginning was to have a people who would know Him, believe in Him and to serve only Him, the true and living GOD. He would do miracles, signs and wonders among them and both the Israelites and the world around them would know and understand that their GOD alone is the only true GOD. They were to be set apart from the other people and follow Him wholeheartedly, obeying His commands.

The Israelites were to be a witness to the world that the GOD they serve is the only true and living GOD. They had been chosen. Today, because of Yeshua and the sacrifice that He made, all believers are to be GOD’s witnesses to the world. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of GOD: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. 1 Peter 2:9-10 KJV

Because we have been chosen, because we are GOD’s very own possession, let’s show others the goodness of GOD. Our lives should be a testimony of the goodness of GOD. Let us be that witness telling the world who GOD is and what HE has done. Let us be that witness to the world that they do not have to remain in darkness, but that they too are being called into His wonderful light. We must be witnesses to the world that GOD alone is GOD, that there is no other GOD— there never has been, and there never will be.

Be An Agent of Reconciliation

“God…gave us the ministry of reconciliation.” – 2 Corinthians 5:18 NIV

Paul wrote: “If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting people's sins against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on crisis behalf: “Be reconciled to God” (vs. 14-20).

Sometimes our first reaction to learning that a fellow believer has fallen is to rush to the phone and say, “Did you hear about?” Or point an accusing finger. Or distance ourselves from that person at the very time he or she needs our prayers, love, and support. The first thing that comes to the mind of a Kingdom citizen should never be to gossip, backbite or character assassinate another citizen.

The Bible says, “Above all things have fervent love for one another, for love will cover a multitude of sins” (1 Peter 4:8). If the hurting cannot find mercy in the family of God, where are they going to find it? Rather than join those who point accusing fingers, we should be known as those who extend a helping hand. Yeshua did that with Simon Peter: “Satan has asked for you that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren” (Luke 22:31-32).

Just as God has repeatedly extended His Grace to you when you have fallen short of the mark, He is calling you to extend that same Grace to others. Remember, you are an agent of reconciliation.
