Who is El-Shaddai?
Pray and Fasting Weekly Devotional 14/10/25 by Sis J
The Topic: Who is El-Shaddai? Genesis 17:1
Nooo it's not a name I've just made up, laugh out loud!! But it is a name from the Hebrew language and culture.
It means God Almighty!
As you can see from the attached quote, there are many Hebrew names for God, about twelve, all having different functions.
El Shaddai is divine natured, powerful, and multi- faceted being an all sustaining living God, whose power no enemy can stand against. Hallelujah, Praise God.
God has a name for every situation we find ourselves in. We need to learn the names of God because when we know his character and capacity, we will find rest, peace, confidence, and experience his love & care of us even more. Age to age, he is still the same he doesn't change. His love takes care of us in this life, and the next.
So what is his name? El- shaddai, Almighty God.
El-Shaddai is near. 1love Sis Jay.

For further reading please be encouraged by:
1. Genesis 17:1 - God announces himself to Abram, as El- Shaddai, Almighty God! God never failed him and remained in Covenant with Abram all the days of his life also solidifying this covenant with a new name Abraham. Although Abraham was not perfect, El-Shaddai knew Abraham's heart was for him.
2. Psalms 91 The whole chapter is a necessity to understand the function of El-Shaddai and his promises to us all. V.15...I"will be with him in times of trouble; I will rescue him and honour him." El- Shaddai has remained faithful to us. Along side the word of God, there are songs and hymns that reminds us that,"his loves takes good care of us". and through the ages there are recorded testimonies/accounts of El- Shaddai's Miraculous power being manifested in people's lives. For this, we give him huge thanks and praise, we glorify his name, El-Shaddai, Almighty God. Amen
3. Take some time now to reflect on the goodness of God.
4. Do you think God wants you to share with others what he has done for you & why?
