May 9 Devotion - Knowing God through His Names - Part 7 - Jehovah Mekaddishkem

Jehovah Mekaddishkem: “The Lord your Sanctifier.” Portrays the Lord as our means of sanctification or as the one who sets believers apart for His purposes. God makes it clear that He alone, not the law, can cleanse His people and make them holy.

so that you may know [without any doubt] and acknowledge that I am the Lord who sanctifies you and sets you apart [for Myself].

لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ الَّذِي يُقَدِّسُكُمْ.

Exodus 31:13

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a consecrated nation, a [special] people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies [the wonderful deeds and virtues and perfections] of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ، فَإِنَّكُمْ تُشَكِّلُونَ جمَاعَةَ كَهَنَةٍ مُلُوكِيَّةً، وَسُلاَلَةً اخْتَارَهَا اللهُ، وَأُمَّةً كَرَّسَهَا لِنَفْسِهِ، وَشَعْباً امْتَلَكَهُ. وَذَلِكَ لِكَيْ تُخْبِرُوا بِفَضَائِلِ الرَّبِّ، الَّذِي دَعَاكُمْ مِنَ الظَّلاَمِ إِلَى نُورِهِ الْعَجِيبِ!

1 Peter 2:9

To be effective in the will of God we must allow the process of sanctification through the prompting of The Holy Spirit and the word of God…..We are becoming a new creation in Christ. We are always in the process of being changed by His Spirit right from the time of our new birth until we reach the place of Eternal life. If we want to become Christ-like must surrender to the process of being sanctified. The choice is ours and ours alone….The Holy Spirit will never override our will.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, Adonai, thank You for Your inseparable, unfailing, deep and everlasting love for me and Your abundant blessings in my life. Thank You Jehovah Mekaddishkem that You are Holy and that You help me become holy and that You do not leave me struggling in my own strength trying to achieve a state of holiness that's impossible to attain. You are Jehovah Mekaddishkem "The God Who Makes Holy". What I cannot do on my own, You are willing to do in me if I let You. Thank You that You have set me apart for yourself and called me out of darkness into Your marvelous light. .I praise Your glorious name, I glorify You and I lift You up on high.In the name of The King of kings and Lord of lords, in the Holy Name of Jesus my Lord and Saviour, I pray. To Him be the glory, the power, the dominion, the majesty and the blessings forever and ever and unto ages of all ages.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,
