CHARACTER STUDY ~ NOADIAH

-


The name Noadiah has its roots in the ancient Hebrew language and carries a profound meaning: "Meeting with the Lord". This name is derived from the combination of two Hebrew words, Noah, meaning 'meeting or encounter', and Yah, a shortened form of 'Yahweh', the Hebrew name for God. The name Noadiah is significant as it represents a divine encounter or communion with the Almighty. Two individuals were mentioned as Noadiah: One was identified in Ezra as Levite and the other in Nehemiah as a prophetess. 



Some Characteristics of Noadiah:
√ Noadiah the Levite was the son of Binnui. He was among the people who assisted in weighing the silver, gold, and other valuables brought to the temple. These valuables were also entrusted to their care. We must avail ourselves to serve in all capabilities as we can. 


√ Noadiah the prophetess on the other hand failed to serve well. She intimidated Nehemiah when the walls were being rebuilt. It is not enough to hold titles rather we should wisely use our positions to advance a worthy course. 


√ Dear beloved in the Lord, taking clues from the two individuals, it is clear that we can have divine encounter or communion with the Almighty but if we fail to be guided by the Holy Spirit, we will deviate from the path of truth and righteousness. 


Supporting Scriptures: Ezra 8:33 & Nehemiah 6:14

John’s baptism was the baptism unto repentance: An act of confession and turning from sin which anticipated the coming of the Messiah. Let us be informed that Christ's second return is for judgment.  √ Apollos was instructed in the way of Christ by Priscilla and Aquila, two faithful couples in Christ. After one of his public teachings, he was called aside by the couple who explained the scripture to him. His submissiveness to adhere to...

Do you feel you're forgotten, rejected or insecure? Dear beloved in the Lord, you're not forgotten, for God has engraved your name in His palms.
