SteemChurch:Who is Jehovah - Revelation About God's Fatherhood
Source
Who is Jehovah?
Jehovah is the Father who created the earth, he is the being who possesses life in himself, he exists through his own desire to be; He does not need anything or anyone to survive, since he is the one who can give life and sustain all humanity. The name Jehovah comes from a Hebrew verb meaning "to become". The name "Jehovah" is a translation into Spanish of the Hebrew name of God.
The human being does need to know and know who Jehovah is in order to exist and live, because he is the source of life and is the giver of this life, without God man could not exist.
If there is someone who calls himself God in this generation, he must be able to survive on his own; we know that there is no human being in this world nor a God that subsists by itself, only our heavenly Father Jehovah of armies.

How did Jehovah Father manifest himself in the old testament?
"And God answered Moses: I am who I am. And he said: Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel: I am sent me to you. " -Exodus 3:14
In that time of the old testament Moses asked God in whose name he would appear before Pharaoh to get his people out of Egypt, God gives him his own name: "I am who I am", which translated into Hebrew is "Yahwh", which means: one who exists by his own desire for life. It is the verb "to be", which implies the conjugations in past, present and future.
God says: "I am who I was, I am who I am, and I am the one who will always be."
"These things I have spoken to you in allegories; the hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you for allegories, but I will clearly announce to you about the Father. " -John 16:25
This verse shows us that although Jesus had already tried to explain the fatherhood of Jehovah father to his disciples in a representative language, he had not given them a more complete revelation.
Because it is the Holy Spirit who is commissioned to reveal the Father. This revelation was what caused a total transformation in the attitude of his disciples towards the world and its enemies.
The disappointment with most of the people of this generation is that they have had a bad practice with their natural father, and this has become an emotional and spiritual devastation for them. If most people do not have an idea of what a natural father is, they probably can not understand what Jehovah is as Father.
The bad concept and feeling of what a natural father has made it impossible for many to know and intimate the fatherhood of who Jehovah is as a father, being the best human experience. The revelation of fatherhood can not be achieved until the holy spirit reveals it.

What is the revelation we must have about who Jehovah is as Father?
The revelation that Jehovah is our Father, the testimony that he loves us and the conviction that we are his children, is a condition that we have to have planted and very clear in our being. When we study what the revelation of the Father is, we think perhaps that it is simple and simple, but there is great depth in it.
The kingdom of God moves based on fatherhood, but there are many men and women who need the glorious revelation of what this is in legitimacy in order to be an effective part of the kingdom.
The fatherhood of the one who is jehovah is the foundation on which God has chosen to build and build all humanity; without it, everything is transformed into a chaos, since the proper functioning of the family, the main nucleus of every society, is affected and damaged. For this reason, we must work to restore and thus recover paternity.
The word father in Greek is pater and is translated into Spanish as fatherland, the word family is translated motherland in Greek, which means sphere of paternity; from the biblical fragment, there is no family if there is no paternity.
"Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom all families in the heavens and on earth take their name." -Ephesians 3: 14,15, we can see that this is the most outstanding urgency of the human race after salvation.

The greatest need of the human race after salvation
The greatest need of the human race after salvation is that of a father. God designed society, politics, government, church and families to manifest and reveal their fatherhood; but this is far from the reality.
At this time, we do not demand more politicians who are only professionals, but also fulfill the role of parents, who know who is Jehovah Father and who have a revelation of the heavenly Father.
Today, society is full of millions of orphaned men and women who are clamoring, moaning and yearning for a father to be their protector, to defend them from injustice and to sustain them materially and spiritually.
Due to this enormous lack, we found a considerable number of rebellious children who left the house and now are in the street, without direction, without guidance, without a guide because they did not find in the home, in the church or in the government a father who loved them, who affirmed them, and who gave them their identity.
We can also find high rates of prostitution in women that the only thing they are looking for is the hug of a man, to replace that of the father, because dad did not give it at home. This is a need that does not allow more waiting time; therefore, the values of fatherhood must be reinstated in a society that shouts for help.

Effects generated by knowing the revelation of who Jehovah is as Father
Identity as sons and daughters is affirmed. When we have the revelation that God is his father, that we are his children and that he loves us, we acquire a supernatural security, a certainty that we are not one of the bunch, but that we are special.
Likewise, upon receiving our identity, the spirit of competition begins to die within us; we no longer envy the success of another, we do not give importance to it if men take us into account or not.
We begin to pray as children and not as interested or beggars, in short, our attitude towards man, facing the devil and facing the world has a totally complete change.
1.-The revelation of Jehovah as a father leads us to develop an intimate relationship with him.
By having the revelation of who Jehovah is in fatherhood, we can come to his presence with confidence, knowing that he hears us and answers our requests. We began to have a development in the intimate relationship, which surely was not achieved even with the earthly father.
"The intimate communion of the Lord is with those who fear him, and he will make known his covenant." - Psalm 25:14

2.-The revelation of Jehovah teaches you to be true worshipers.
"But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth; because also the Father such worshipers seek to be adored. " -John 4:23
The true worshipers are those who have the revelation that they are children and an open heart to their heavenly Father. The son worships God for complacency and joy, and his longing is to honor his Father.
The last temptation of Jesus had to do with adoration. If you manage to overcome the temptations that have to do with your identity, and the temptation in relation to worship, you have a power to overcome the enemy as Jesus did; You will conquer the desert test and then receive the power of God.

3.-The revelation of Jehovah Father satisfies us and completely fills our whole being.
Remember the proper name of God the Father:
«The great I am». He has the ability and desire to become what you need as a child. If he needs healing, then he is Jehovah "Rafa": "I am your healer." If you need a provision, it is Jehovah «Yireh»: «I am your provider». If he needs victory, it is Jehovah «Nissi»: «I am your flag, your victory». If he needs justice, it is Jehovah «Tsidkenou»: «I am your justice». If he needs peace, it is Jehovah "Shalom": "I am your peace." God the Father becomes everything you need. Amen!
On many occasions we as children ask much of our biological and spiritual parents, hoping that they will give us love, affirmation, a hug or provision. But they can not perennially satisfy all our needs as we expect.
It is in this way then that disgusts, disappointments, and offenses are founded without understanding that they also condition the same thing that we are requesting. That is why they can not provide it, because they do not have it, it is a chain that grows from generation to generation.
Only our heavenly Father can fulfill all our expectations of love, but such a thing only happens when we have the revelation that Jehovah is our heavenly father and that he fills everything at all.
Jehovah father wants to be his protector, he wants to nourish his soul, and spirit to be the provider of his finances, the intellectual author of his salvation and that of his whole family, Jehovah is the one who trains his hands for battle, his sustainer in moments of crisis, his defender when they attack him.
It is impossible to understand the doctrine of Christ or the doctrine of the Trinity if one does not understand first the paternity of God and the fact that Christ is eternally of the Father. Observe how Jesus explains it: "I came from the Father and I have come into the world; again, I leave the world and go to the Father "(John 16:28).
Nice post God has revealed himself in many ways in time past in different format.
He is God all by himself he needs no man to be in his position or rephrased he needs no man to be what he is without the whole world does not make him any less. He is self sustaining.God is our father and his children always cry out to him when we have needs and he always heed to us.
He gives to us freely all things even those good things which we have not asked for,God has manifested himself in so many ways.
The Bible says A father’s ultimate goal with his children is for their spiritual transformation and holiness. All other matters pale in comparison to the supreme importance of this one alone ( 1 Pet 1:13-17 ; Heb 12:10 )
“If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; 38 but if I do them, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.”
God for so many years have been faithful to his servants and he has always manifest his glory on everybody who is with his words .
He is our father and he knows everything which we call out problems .
Respect him and worship him as your father and he will never disappoint you in all your situations
I really love the way you have enlightened us more about the great name of God... ''Jehovah"
God is indeed self sustaining, He doesn't depend on anyone to live and in fact He is the giver of living, He is the God of the living.
Jehovah is life and he continues to manifest in our lives today like he has always done in times before us. He does not depend on anybody because he is GOD
Great post!
Thanks for sharing!
Peace.
We must continually return to the biblical truth that God is our true Father, and we are his true children. We must return to the supreme blessing of the gospel: to be made true children of God in the Son. There is no relationship that brings us closer to the sovereign and sublime God than the filial relationship.
Other descriptions of God have become preeminent: Sovereign, Redeemer, Sublime, Majestic, Holy, etc. All these are biblical descriptions of God, and we must use them, but the New Testament instructs believers to approach God primarily as Father.
