Going deeper...to go further

Daily Bible reading strengthens our relationship with God, nourishes our spirits and equips us to live a fruitful, effective life for Him.

This month we're looking at Scriptures about the names of God to go alongside our Sunday message series. We’ll also be finishing off Deuteronomy and reading Joshua. As we read the Word it’s important that we apply what we read and pray it out over our lives. One of the way you can do this is by using the acronym SOAP. To find out more about SOAP watch this video.

Below you’ll see what we’re reading today. To go forward or back a day in our reading plan use the 'Next' and 'Previous' buttons.

The Names of God

  • In scripture the Name denotes the person and says something of his character.
  • The Names of God describe different aspects of His character.
  • He is the Lord, the ultimate authority.
  • His Name is holy; He is perfect in every respect.
  • His Son is named Jesus – Saviour. Christ the Anointed One.
  • God always acts for the honour of His Name.
  • Believers have the privilege of praying in the Name of Jesus; not only using His Name but praying with authority, faith and expectation because they pray according to His Word.
  • Believers are to say and do everything in Jesus’ Name. Saying what He would say, doing what He would do, all for the glory of God; speaking, praying and acting with His authority.

Holy One of Israel

Names of God

Isaiah 43:3-6

3For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your stead.4Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you,I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life.5Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west.6I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth—

Judges 13

1Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD, so the LORD delivered them into the hands of the Philistines for forty years.2A certain man of Zorah, named Manoah, from the clan of the Danites, had a wife who was sterile and remained childless.3The angel of the LORD appeared to her and said, "You are sterile and childless, but you are going to conceive and have a son.4Now see to it that you drink no wine or other fermented drink and that you do not eat anything unclean,5because you will conceive and give birth to a son. No razor may be used on his head, because the boy is to be a Nazirite, set apart to God from birth, and he will begin the deliverance of Israel from the hands of the Philistines."6Then the woman went to her husband and told him, "A man of God came to me. He looked like an angel of God, very awesome. I didn't ask him where he came from, and he didn't tell me his name.7But he said to me, 'You will conceive and give birth to a son. Now then, drink no wine or other fermented drink and do not eat anything unclean, because the boy will be a Nazirite of God from birth until the day of his death.'"8Then Manoah prayed to the LORD: "O LORD, I beg you, let the man of God you sent to us come again to teach us how to bring up the boy who is to be born."9God heard Manoah, and the angel of God came again to the woman while she was out in the field; but her husband Manoah was not with her.10The woman hurried to tell her husband, "He's here! The man who appeared to me the other day!"11Manoah got up and followed his wife. When he came to the man, he said, "Are you the one who talked to my wife?I am," he said.12So Manoah asked him, "When your words are fulfilled, what is to be the rule for the boy's life and work?"13The angel of the LORD answered, "Your wife must do all that I have told her.14She must not eat anything that comes from the grapevine, nor drink any wine or other fermented drink nor eat anything unclean. She must do everything I have commanded her."15Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, "We would like you to stay until we prepare a young goat for you."16The angel of the LORD replied, "Even though you detain me, I will not eat any of your food. But if you prepare a burnt offering, offer it to the LORD." (Manoah did not realize that it was the angel of the LORD.)17Then Manoah inquired of the angel of the LORD, "What is your name, so that we may honor you when your word comes true?"18He replied, "Why do you ask my name? It is beyond understanding. "19Then Manoah took a young goat, together with the grain offering, and sacrificed it on a rock to the LORD. And the LORD did an amazing thing while Manoah and his wife watched:20As the flame blazed up from the altar toward heaven, the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame. Seeing this, Manoah and his wife fell with their faces to the ground.21When the angel of the LORD did not show himself again to Manoah and his wife, Manoah realized that it was the angel of the LORD.22"We are doomed to die!" he said to his wife. "We have seen God!"23But his wife answered, "If the LORD had meant to kill us, he would not have accepted a burnt offering and grain offering from our hands, nor shown us all these things or now told us this."24The woman gave birth to a boy and named him Samson. He grew and the LORD blessed him,25and the Spirit of the LORD began to stir him while he was in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
