19 Names of God

An old and dear friend who gets closer with time was in a conversation with me when a name of God came up. She explained it and its significance. I was disturbed that I was ill informed. Why is it that when we are young we can’t receive the facts of the Bible rather than all the fairy tales that we are bombarded with? When I was doing some brief research I found 19 names and they are still more. I have embedded those ones I found in my acrostic poem here. Maybe you can spot them all.

 

19 Names of God

 

The Alpha and the Omega, the Lord who is, was and yet to be

He in Revelations 1:8 said He was the Almighty

El-Shaddai is more accurate as we came to know

Lots more names describe our God as this acrostic will show

One name Adonai means the Lord who is God

Reminds us He is our staff and our rod

Daniel 7:9 calls Him the Ancient of Days

Over 2500 times Elohim was mentioned in as many ways

Uniquely He is called the Prince of Peace

Rabbi to His followers whose faith wouldn’t cease

Genesis 3:15 made the first references of the Messiah

Once He arrived He was to be called Immanuel as seen in Isaiah

Divine Lord was called Savior as in John 4:42

Our God was called the Son of God and the Lamb of God too

Nissi, the Lord is our Banner, we hold in the highest esteem

Exalt Him through our lives for He reigns supreme

God was called Jireh, the Lord will provide

On the Mount, Abraham received a lamb and his son never cried

Do you know His name Tsidkenu, the Lord of Righteousness

Once mentioned in Jeremiah 23:6 in all its holiness

For me it is even harder to remember

M’kaddesh, the Lord our Sanctifier

And though Rophe, the Lord Heals is much easier for me

None is easier than Rohi my Shepherd from Psalm 23

You must remember Shammah, the Lord is There

Note this affirmation that He is everywhere

And when Gideon built unto the Lord an altar

Make no mistake he did with no falter

Erected and named it as confirmed by ancient priests

Shalom, His name meant He is the Lord of Peace
