Deuteronomy 26:18 And it is Jehovah who has today declared you to be a people for His personal treasure, even as He promised you; and that you will keep all His commandments; 19 And that He will set you high above all the nations which He has made, for praise and for a name and for honor; and that you will be a holy people to Jehovah your God, as He has spoken.
Zephaniah 3:20 At that time I will bring you in, And at that time I will gather you; For I will cause you to be a name and a praise Among all the peoples of the earth, When I turn again your captivity before your eyes, Says Jehovah.
It was on the 18th March 2016, when I had my personal time with the Lord in Port Blair, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, while in the ministry literature journey that the Lord promised me Zephaniah 3:20. Initially I reckoned it as too much for me. But the Lord's speaking was so intense and clear that I was forced to mark the date on the side of the verse in my Bible. I simply thanked the Lord that it has been by His grace alone that I am what I am; and that I don't deserve further "name and praise" for myself. Sufficient is that the Lord's Name be glorified whether through me or any one else He pleases to choose. If I be that whom He choose, let His will alone be done. Name and praise be to Jesus alone!
Today in my Bible reading time, the Lord reconfirmed the same speaking through Deuteronomy 26:18 and 19, that I and the saints are His personal treasure, "And that He will set you high above all the nations which He has made, for praise and for a name and for honor; and that you will be a holy people to Jehovah your God, as He has spoken". This should be to the Body, as we the saints are His personal treasure, for His name and for His praise.
Whatever the Lord intent to mean by these verses, I thanked the Lord for His speaking, much more His promises. To all His words and His promises, I say amen. Many of His promises I am yet to understand, and I simple and humbly amen His promises, whatever they are meant to be, to me or to anyone else. Amen to the word of God! Praise the Lord!
Only time will tell what the Lord means by all His promises. I simple take Him at His word, and thank Him for finding me worthy to be spoken to "a saved sinner like me". Jehovah's promises in the past have been fulfilled mostly, and some being fulfilled. He does not waste words, His promises have only one echo, "amen", both in the heavens and on the earth.
Lord, thank you for Your promises! Let Your Name be praised and glorified all over the earth. "
Our Father who is in the heavens, Your name be sanctified;" Mathew 6:9
