5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

LESSON INTRODUCTION: What does it means to ‘hallow’ God’s name? The word ‘hallow’ is the Greek word ‘hagiography’ which is the word for ‘holy’. ‘Hallow’ therefore means ‘to set apart as holy, to sanctify or to treat as holy. The best modern word perhaps is ‘reverence’. When we pray ‘hallowed be Your name: we are saying let God’s name be holy and reverenced on earth as it is in head end (Ps. 9:1; 89:5); let His name be given the unique reverence that is due His character and nature as the Heavenly Father(Ps. 92:2). It means to ascend to the very heart of God by recognising who He is and what He has done (Ps.136:1-4). We show reverence to God by learning how to truly worship Him (John 4:24).

WHY AND HOW TO HALLOWED GOD’S NAME.

WHY SHOULD WE HALLOW GOD’S NAME? We reverence God’s name because of His awesome power and majesty (Lev. 19:30).

It is a prompt response to one’s encounter with God’s splendour (Num.20:6; Judge 13:20).The idea of reverence for God started with God. (Deut.5). It is a means of demonstrating our death to self and obedience to His commands (Gal.2:20). God’s name stands for His person and each of His names reveals some aspects of His character (1Chron.16:29). Jesus also reminded His disciplines to properly reverence God when He taught them how to pray (Matt. 8:9). Reverencing God’s name makes the presence of God real in our hearts.

An important way to demonstrate reverence for God is by the way we live (Rom.12:1). We should reverence God by taking seriously God’s hatred for sin and the coming judgment on those who refuse to repent. (Col.3:5-6; Rom.1:18).

BENEFITS OF REVERENCING GOD’S NAME

There are numerous blessings attached to reverencing God’s:
It keeps us close in fellowship with God and rescues us from distress, troubles, sorrow and pain (Ps.34:1; Ps.116:3-4). We become partakers of God’s mercy and are filled with God’s Spirit (Ps.86:5; Acts 2:17a). We also enjoy the riches of the Lord (Rom.10:12) and get immediate attention/solution from God (Lk.18:38-40; John 11:41-42).
We receive deep and secret things from God (Dan. 2:20-23).

CONCLUSION: We hallow the name of God when we trust, reverence, obey and glorify Him.
