“The Power of God’s Names – Jehovah Jireh” explores the profound meaning behind the name Jehovah Jireh, which translates to “The Lord Will Provide.” It centres on the story from Genesis 22:1–18, where God tests Abraham by asking him to sacrifice his son Isaac. Abraham’s unwavering obedience and faith are highlighted as he prepares to follow through, believing that God will somehow provide.

At the critical moment, God intervenes and provides a ram for the sacrifice, leading Abraham to name the place “The Lord Will Provide.” The sermon raises thoughtful questions about God’s character, Abraham’s mindset, and the nature of faith, emphasising that God is not okay with human sacrifice and that Abraham’s trust stemmed from his past experiences with God’s promises.

The test was meant to refine Abraham’s faith, showing that true faith is revealed through action. The name Jehovah Jireh is shown to be a foreshadowing of Jesus, the ultimate provision for humanity’s need for redemption. The message concludes by challenging the audience to live as though Jehovah Jireh is a fulfilled promise through Christ, and to let their faith inspire action.
