« And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; »
5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
6 Though He was God, He did not think of equality with God as something to cling to.
7 Instead, He gave up His divine privileges; He took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When He appeared in human form,
8 He humbled Himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
9 Therefore, God elevated Him to the place of highest honor and gave Him the name above all other names,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
- The name of Jesus is powerful and matchless.
As believers, we can perform mighty signs through it as we see in the memory verse of today.
It can also bring salvation, as we see in Matthew 1:21ERV
« She will give birth to a son. You will name Him Jesus. Give Him that name because he will save His people from their sins »
- The name of Jesus is full of wonders.
In Acts 3:6, Peter used it to raise a crippled man at the Beautiful Gate.
Immediately he mentioned this name, the feet and ankle bones of that lame man received strength and he began to make progress in life.
He started walking, and a while later, he began to leap.
In the name of Jesus, nothing will be impossible for you.
Those who do not believe in this name for salvation do not know what they are missing. Proverbs 18:10 NKJV says
« The name of the LORD is a strong tower; The righteous (God fearing person) run to it and are safe »
Here, we see a fundamental principle that is behind the working of that name – righteousness.
Only the righteousness obtained through Jesus can make His name work wonders for you.
- As a matter of fact, it is through this name that we receive forgiveness of sins (Acts 10:43).
In Acts 9:33-34, we see the supremacy of the name of Jesus when Peter healed a man who, for eight years, had been bound by infirmity.
- The name of Jesus destroys yokes and delivers the oppressed.
By the power in the wonder-working name of Jesus, I command your deliverance from any form of oppression.
I once heard the story of a young Christian who shouted the name of Jesus when the boat he was in was about to capsize. Immediately, unseen hands steadied his boat.
From today, that name will begin to work for you as you believe.
The devil may resist anything else but not the name of Christ.
This is because the name of Jesus is above every other and at its mention, every knee should bow (Philippians 2:9-11).
Begin to use it effectively from today.
Application – Call on the name of Jesus Christ with faith today and every mountain you are facing will give way, to the glory of the Father.
