Proclaim His Name

 Scripture:

“But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭9‬:‭16‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Observation:

This verse takes place during the middle of the plagues of Egypt. God is speaking to Moses here about His plan and purpose in the plagues. He was punishing Egypt for not letting His people go to worship Him, but He was also telling Moses that He would show His power and that His name would be proclaimed in all the earth. One of God’s purposes in the plagues was that His name be proclaimed in all the earth. God wants His name proclaimed and goes to great extent to do so.

Application:

Today, we have the opportunity to proclaim God’s name in all the earth. God’s goal has always been that His name be worshiped in all the earth. Today, we are part of the extension of His kingdom around the world. We have the honor to spread His fame and glory among the nations. Rather than using plagues, we use every means possible to proclaim God’s name all over the planet. We must take seriously what God takes seriously, and the extension of His Kingdom has always been on His heart. 

Prayer:

Father, let my life proclaim Your name in every nation of the earth. Use my life for the extension of Your Kingdom. I desire to proclaim Your great name in all the earth. Help me to use every possible means for Your glory and honor and the proclamation of Your name. Let me be more effective and productive in the extension of Your Kingdom.

Yours,

Jeff
