MIGHTY GOD
Isaiah , the major prophet of the Old Testament , nearly 800 years before the birth of Jesus Christ, prophesied and introduced Him , "His name is called Wonderful, Counselor, MIGHTY GOD, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6)
The word mighty means 'strong and powerful'. The Hebrew word for God is 'El', which means Almighty or Mighty One. When the two word are put together , they mean strong and powerful One- the Mighty One.
Moses , the great leader of ancient Israel who led the people from Egyptian bondage refers to "The Lord your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords the great, the Mighty." The Lord led them from the bondage of slavery. He was mighty in deeds. He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers in the land of Egypt.
He parted the Red Sea and paved the way to pass through and made the waters a heap. He led them with a cloud at day time and night with a light of fire. He rained Manna upon His people in the wilderness. He sent quails to satisfy their hunger. He brought the streams out of the rock and caused the waters to run down like rivers. He smote the rock and water gushed out. He quenched their thirst. He is able accomplish whatever He desires.
Is there any thing too hard for the mighty God ?. The Psalmist says, "The Lord has done mighty things for us ."
Nehemiah refers to Him, "....the great and mighty and the awesome God , who keeps covenant of love."(Nehemiah 9:32)
Apostle Paul says, "When the fullness of time was come God sent forth His Son."(Galatians 4:4). He was born neither of the blood nor of the flesh, nor of the will of the man but was born of God. He became flesh and dwelt among us.
During His earthly ministry He did mighty things in the lives of the people to whom they sought. He healed the sick, and suffering ; the sorrowful and dying and the broken-hearted . He did miracles and signs and wonders.
"The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy." Let us draw nigh to the Lord Jesus Christ who will mighty things in our lives.
