Names of God: Jehovah-Nissi
| MEANING:“The Lord Our Banner” implies God can overcome any foe. | VERSE:“The Lord has sworn; the Lord will have war against Amalek from generation to generation.” —Exodus 17:16 NASB |
FACT:Ancient armies would carry banners or flags that identified themselves and often their ideals. Since a banner could be seen from afar, it also served as a rallying point for troops before battle. | PRAYER:Lord, You are my banner with all of Your attributes displayed. I will not fear any enemy, but trust You to be victorious against my foes. |
There are many names given to God in the Bible, and each one helps to illustrate a facet of God’s character. These names are placed in Scripture that we might know and understand more about Him.
We encourage you to know more about God’s character through the study of some of His names!

Jehovah Nissi is one of my favorite Names for God. I pray often that He go before my loved ones to prepare them for battle in a given situation. Of course, His armor is a must, but that Banner is just a vivid image in my mind: it is lifted high, it is very obvious to the enemy, Satan, and it shows strength and confidence. I LOVE this Name I KNOW this Name! Thank you for all you do to help me to grow.
In His Service,
Anita
