El Elyon
- 2. El Elyon! Ge 14:18 And Melchizedek <Malkiy-Tsedeq> king <melek> of Salem <Shalem> brought forth <yatsa'> bread <lechem> and wine: <yayin> and he was the priest <kohen> of the most high <'elyown> God. <'el>
- 3. If you have never engaged in a study of the names of God, I would strongly encourage you to! ♦ Most conclude that there are no less than 72 to 77 nouns used in reference to God and as many as 365 verbs. ♦ These many different and unique names of God each help us to understand Him better, and to better understand what He is like! ♦ By these we are able to understand “who God is, & who is God!”
- 7. How important our names? ♦ How many of us have heard or maybe even said, “I don't care what you call me as long as you call me something sweet!” ♦ This may work in general, but are there times when names are “important?” ♦ What about naming a child? ♦ What about when we are paid? ♦ Three basic reasons for names! ♦ Names show intention! ♦ Names show identification! ♦ Names show importance!
- 8. Tonight we will be looking at God as El Elyon! ♦ This name is only used 4 times and all within 5 verses. ♦ 3 x by Melchizedek (Gen. 14:18,19 & 20) ♦ Once by Abram (Gen. 14:22) ♦ In our lesson we want to notice 3 qualities or attributes of God made know by this name!
- 9. I. God is a God of Strength! ♦ How many of you remember the story of Gideon from (Judges 7) Gideon is called by God to dwindle down the number from 32,000 to 300 men against a great multitude! ♦ God wanted Israel to know who was their strength! Who had the power to win! ♦ This is the same kind of situation we find in (Gen 14) ♦ 4 kings go out to fight 5 and the 4 win! ♦ They take ago Abram’s brother’s son Lot! ♦ Abram goes after them with 318 servants!
- 10. So we ask, “how was Gideon & Abram able to win against these armies?” ♦ The answer is really quite simple, it was God fighting for them!They went out in the “strength” of the Lord! ♦ The battle belongs to the Lord! ♦ El Elyon reminds us of the strength of the Lord, God Most High!
- 11. II. God is a God of Sovereignty! ♦ How often do we take time to ask, “who is in charge?” ♦ We sure could save ourselves a lot of trouble by understanding this principle! ♦ Anytime we put anything or anyone before God, there will be trouble! ♦ Mt 6:33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” ♦ Remember the way the book of Matthew ends? (Mt. 28:18-20)
- 12. Because God is sovereign we must learn to live according to God’s will in our lives! ♦ Col 3:17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. ♦ Act 4:19 But Peter and John answered and said to them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. Cf. 5:29
- 13. III. God is a God of Supremacy! ♦ I can remember some years back that a popular bumper sticker read “God is my co- pilot” which implies that God is riding with them, but isn’t it really the case that we must ride with Him! ♦ I wonder how often we miss out on God because we only want to drive and not ride? We want to do things our way or the highway and we often wonder why they fail and then ask God why He didn’t help us!
- 14. We want to go where we want, we want to have what we want and when it doesn’t work out we want to blame God! ♦ Who will always be more qualified to direct our lives? Us or God? ♦ Pr. 14:12; 16:25 ♦ Is. 55:8-9 ♦ Jer. 10:23 ♦ It is only when we learn to truly submit to God that we win! (Js. 4:7-8)
- 15. Conclusion: ♦ Truly God is good to us! We serve an awesome God! ♦ The difference name sof God help us to better understand who God is and who is God! ♦ El Elyon! God Most High! ♦ God of all Strength! All Power! ♦ God of all Sovereignty! All Authority! ♦ God of all Supremacy! All Control! ♦ Have you come to know El Elyon?
