POWERS OF GOD / UNLIMITED GRACE

JEHOVAH HOSEENU
This name of God means "the Lord our maker"Psalms 95:6.
This is beside the power of God to create all things as before seen. It is the power of God that brought us men and the body of Christ to existence. This power therefore gives us our assignment and heritage in our days because everything that God makes has a function. This power of God is therefore our moulder. It is the power of God that, like a clay vessel, fashions us according to our purpose, for He has appointed some to His glory. Seasons of moulding are not always easy, but this power of God enables us to overcome and move to greater glory.

JEHOVAH ELOHEEKA
The Lord thy God(Exodus 20:2,5,7). Unlike "the lord our God" that recognises the Lordship of God over an entire generation, "The Lord thy God" personilizes the same God to an individual. Here is God telling His child that he will not only protect him/her as part of a group, but has the same responsibility to the same child individually. This is who God is to all that believe in Him. This power of God deals with people as individuals regardless of the surrounding or general expectations of a season.

JEHOVAH ELYON
Meaning the "Lord most high" Gen 14:18.
The Lord sits most high over many other lords, and there are many Lords in the spiritual high places. This is the power of God over all these other lords. It is the power we invoke to break us out of bondages because in His time he decrees our breakthrough. It is bacause of The lords position over all other overloading powers that we invoke his name in our declarations in their time. It is the same power that subjects all powers, principalities and rulers of this age to Christ and gives them to His children as a heritage. There is no spiritual principality at par with or above God. There is also no other power that can overun His. This is the confidence we have in God.

JEHOVAH ADONAI
Our sovereign Lord(Gen 15:2-8).
This powerful name acknowledges the Kingship of God and the overall power His Kingdom has over the principalities of the earth, and over the ruling principalities of all ages. This is not a synonym. It is a literal statement. God is a King, a great one, and He works as such. This is regardless of the form of leadership that exists on earth which of course is far from autocratic rule. It however does not change the fact about the overal reign of God as an everlasting monarch. One fact about a king is the ability to decree, judge, and do what ever He wishes. We have the same kingdom as an inheritance together with Christ right after the end of this age(Daniel 7:27).

JEHOVAH SABAOTH
This name means the Lord of hosts(1 Samuel 1:3).
This name means that that God has lordship over the hosts(armies or angels of the spiritual realm.) Remember when Joshua prepared to attack Jericho, then appeared unto him a man with a sword in hand. Seeing He was an angel of war, Joshua wanted to know on whose side He would be fighting- Joshuas or Jericho's. "None," the angel said, but on Gods side. Before Joshua and His earthly hosts win the battle, the hosts of the heavens had to fight it with the principalities of darkness. This is what the hosts of the Almighty do even now as we get ready to enter a new chapter in the ages of this world. These heavenly hosts are under the lordship of God. They are the angels that accompany Gods counsel to war in a season of war. It is for this reason I insist; never go to war or a confrontation in battle without counsel. Where there is counsel of God, there is power to bring the counsel to fulfillment.
