LET HIM THAT MENTIONS GOD'S NAME DEPART FROM INIQUITY 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

  Psalms 119:159-160

" Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness.

  Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.'

  The phrase "Let him that mentions God's name depart from iniquity" emphasizes the sacred responsibility of those who profess faith in God to live righteously. This is drawn from 2 Timothy 2:19, which says, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.” The Christian life is a call to holiness and separation from sin.

Matthew 3:12 speaks of Christ separating the wheat from the chaff, symbolizing how He distinguishes between the righteous and the wicked. Those who name God must reflect His purity, rejecting sin. Titus 2:11-12 echoes this, teaching that the grace of God, which brings salvation, instructs us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live upright lives in this present age.

Grace, far from giving license to sin, actually empowers believers to live righteously. Galatians 3:15 explains the seriousness of God’s covenant, emphasizing the unchanging nature of His word. Just as God's promises are secure, so is His call to holy living. 

 The scripture says1 Peter 1:16 (“Be holy, for I am holy”), reinforcing the idea that to name God is to walk in His ways, rejecting iniquity and embracing a life that reflects His holiness.

 In your daily prayers seek to be an expression of God's righteous nature in words and in deeds as the psalmist says in Psalms 35:28

" And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long."

PRAYER : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to live  in holiness .
