Meeting the Banner of God - Jehovah-Nissi (5 of 14)
Series: Names of God

Exodus 17:8-16
Alexander the Great conquered most of the known world at an early age in life. He was one of the military leaders who made the decision to not leave the dead or the wounded during a battle.

Once - a captain in his army was brought to him with the charge of disloyalty. It wasn't because of an attitude of mutiny - but it was his questioning the tactics and strategies of Alexander the Great. The man was brought to Alexander the Great to give an answer. Alexander asked - ''What is your name?'' The captain said - ''Sir, my name is also Alexander.'' You must either change your name or change the way you behave.''

''What we do'' is in evidence of ''who we are''. If someone watched you closely - they should never have to ask if you name the name of Jesus.
Is the banner you fly telling the truth about the person you are?
Jehovah-Nissi - ''The LORD is my banner.'' A banner is a standard that tells who's you are and all that you believe and what and who you stand for.
Over your life - is there flying the banner of the Lord?
There is more to flying the flag of Christianity than not being another religion. There is much more to it than that. What does it mean if Jehovah is your banner?
I. YOU WILL DECLARE YOUR ALLEGIANCE
A banner is a picture of one's allegiance. If we presented the American flag - you would stand at attention - put our hand over our heart - ...
