HE KNOWS MY NAME

April 19, 2014

Someone said that in Nigeria, when old friends meet especially men, and they cannot remember each other’s name, that’s when they call each other, “Chairman.” Naturally, humans are wired to forget, and some are good at forgetting names (I think I am in that category too). However, I have seen that no matter who you are, God knows your name.

In Acts 9, Saul was a very deadly man. He was always going about seeking whom he may devour – he was devils incarnate. On his way to Damascus, he heard someone call out his name from out of nowhere. With some element of pride in him, he must have asked, “Who is that?” Bible says the moment he heard it was Jesus, he was trembling and astonished. Even though, he was not born again, God knew his name because He said in Jer 1:5a that, “before you were formed, He knew thee.”

A songwriter said, “He knows my name, He knows my every thought, He sees each tear that falls, and He hears me when I call.” Maybe you are feeling forgotten all because things are not working out the way you want them to, please relax, His name is Omniscient – the All Knowing God. He knows your beginning and your ending. He knew your names even before your parents thought of them.

Our God is a God that knows, sees and cares. He knows exactly where you are, what you are going through, what you need and He is monitoring every of your step. Jesus died not because it was fanciful but because of you. He became poor so that you might be rich. He allowed them beat Him so you can be sickness-free. He rose up just to go to the Father and prepare a place for you. The governor of your city might not know you by name, but be glad and rejoice because the one that can take the life of a governor anytime knows your name.

Happy Easter.
