Back in High school, I can say I got to enjoy my time, I went to a new school, that is, a school that we were the first students to ever learn there. It was a special thing because we were the ones to set the trend for oncoming students. We had two forms, that is, form one and two and these classes ended up to become the first and second form four of the school. My high school was called Jehovah Jireh. It is here that I got to learn the meaning of what these names meant, I remember during pared our Principal, explained it to us, and when I connected with her explanation and all that God was doing for me in that school it all made sense. For most of my school fees, I was being supported by well-wishers, God provided for me and my family in so many ways.
I just wanted to take time to write about God, who is Jehovah Jireh, what God has placed in my heart is that He is more than enough of what you need. Be encouraged as we learn together these series in-depth and the different meaning’s these name has “Jireh”
In the Book of Genesis, Jehovah-jireh or Yahweh Yireh (Jehovah/Yahweh will provide) was a place in the land of Moriah. It was the location of the binding of Isaac, where God told Abraham to offer his son Isaac as a burnt offering. Abraham named the place after God provided a ram to sacrifice in place of Isaac. The phrase continues to be used among Christians. “And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.” – Genesis 22:14 (KJV)
