Jehovah-Nissi is a name of the Lord that has its underlying foundations in Exodus 17:15. After Joshua and the children of Israel had defeated the Amalekites at Rephidim, Moses raised an altar to honor this triumph and he called it "Jehovah-Nissi", which signifies "Yahweh is my banner". In other words, he was saying " the Lord is the one who made me victorious."
This name is a call to God's people to lift God as an army gathers around its flag because God is the One who drives us to triumph. To comprehend the importance of the name Jehovah-Nissi, we need to remind ourselves that Satan is continually pursuing spiritual fights against us.
While the powers of darkness energetically seek after newly converted Christians in other to deter their spiritual advancement, they are also watching out for any chance to pull mature Christians down.
However, regardless of these forceful assaults of the foe, God expects that we should be cheerful, knowing full well that albeit the battle may be fierce, the Lord of host and the Captain of our salvation is on our middle driving the charge against the foe's camp.
As Jehovah-Nissi, God is concerned about Satan's roars and endeavors to bother and threaten His children.
The foes roar and shout against us often trigger a reaction from the Holy Spirit living inside us.
God has zero capacity to bear the foe's disturbances and threats against his children, whom he purchased with the precious Blood of His Son, Jesus. With this understanding, you will understand that our God is the best partner you can have in the battle of life.
God himself is the Jehovah Nissi. Therefore, the fight isn't yours but His. Always be aware of the truth of the Lord as Jehovah-Nissi in your life.
