7 Powerful Bible Names of God with Meaning

ADONAI – The Lord is Master

The Hebrew name ADONAI in English means Lord or Master. It describes the Lordship of God over us as individuals. Adon in the Hebrew means master, steward, overseer, or Lord. In the context of the Old Testament ADONAI could be said to mean that God is our Master, our Overseer and our Lord. Jesus said that whoever you obey is your lord. I could put it this way…if He is not Lord of all He is not Lord at all. What I mean by this is that if you obey Him then He is your personal Lord but if you don’t obey Him, then He is not really your Lord and you are actually a child of the Devil and a vessel of wrath (Rom 2:8; Eph 2:3; John 3:35-36). You cannot claim God as your Lord if you do not obey Him. He is ADONAI – your Master – or He is not. If He is not, then you presently have the wrath of God still abiding on you.
