Moses built an altar and called it The LORD is my Banner. Exodus 17:15A banner is a flag or other piece of cloth bearing a message. It serves as an identification of a group of people or an area of land. It also indicates authority. When a flag is raised, it shows someone has authority in that area. The photo above shows the flag of Namibia, one of the symbols of our constitution.
A banner can also be displayed as a symbol of principles or values. God's setting up a banner over the earth which imports his presence and protection and aid extended to his people. The Bible calls on us to raise a banner in the Name of God, to show that we submit to His authority and the principles found in His Word. His children also know that He holds the future and put their trust in Him.
God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? Hebrews 13:5-6
This is our dream for Namibia in 2011, that "The Lord is my Banner" indicates our allegiance -
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb
With all my strength, with all I am.
I will seek to honor His commands
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb.
Let us build an altar of prayer in Namibia in 2011 and call it The LORD is my Banner.
We will shout for joy when you are victorious and will lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your requests. Psalm 20:5
