Seth, whose name means "compensation", generated Enos. Enos name means "weak,
fragile and mortal." Here people seem to recognize man is nothing. From
this point on they changed the way they related to God.We do not know if it was the family of Seth, or Eve, or another person,
but someone began to call on the name of the Lord.
Human society was organizing without God, man started to work for his subsistence, self exaltation of man, violence... Everything that happens until these days...
This beginning shows that, given the fragility, men began to invoke the
Lord's name. The phrase "call on the name of the Lord" appears many
times in the Bible.
In the New Testament call is linked to salvation or a Christian practice.
However, those who have received the Lord must also continue calling on
His name. The Christians of Jerusalem were not known as those who "had
invoked this name," but as those who "called on this name".
Invoking the name of the Lord leads us to the Spirit. Even after believing
in the Lord, in our day-to-day we tend to return, make our decisions, act for
ourselves. However, our beloved Lord wants something more than that to
us! After believing in the Lord, we need to know more and more His will.
If you feel caught up in his thoughts, desires, emotions, if you feel
weak and in need of God and His perfect will, invoke
"Oh Lord Jesus!" several times to see if you will be helped or not. When
you do it, believe that the will of God will seem to you more clear and
touchable than before and your payer will seem much more possible.
Sing a song! If you sing a song, the experience it describes will perhaps appear
to be yours.
Read the Bible! The Spirit of God will speak to you. This means being in
the presence of God, where we are transformed from glory to glory!
Pray!
- Do I need to pray more?
- What brings me to pray, to invoke the Lord?
- What is the meaning of prayer in my lifeW
- How important it is to pray?
- Is my prayer a two-way street?
Call on the
name of the Lord! But do it Right!
