« The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe »
20 But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
The memory verse of today declares the omnipotent nature of the Lord.
In the same verse lies an eternal truth: it says only the righteous can find safety in the name of the Lord.
The same Bible, however, tells us that none is righteous (Romans 3:10).
How then can we access the saving power in the name of the Lord?
We find the answer in our Bible reading of today.
It says the way out of sin is through the name of Jesus Christ.
This name is all-powerful, mighty to save from sin, sickness, poverty, demonic attack and death.
Praise the Lord!
The Bible predicts a lot of calamities as we approach the second coming of the Lord. Joel 2:30-31NKJV prophesied that the Lord will
« “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the »
Prophet Isaiah also spoke of the terrible things that would happen as we come closer to the end of the world (Isaiah 13:9).
Beloved, the only way we can escape the end time calamities is through the name of Jesus.
The name would however only work for your if you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior.
To do this, you must acknowledge your sins, confess and repent of them.
Thereafter, begin to put your trust in this name which Philippians 2:9-11NLT describes as
9 …..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.
Thus, it is your responsibility to cry to Jesus for mercy.
Use the name of Jesus effectively as you begin to live a life of holiness and perfect obedience to God.
By so doing, you would avoid being a victim of the terrible happenings in these last days.
Our God is full of tender mercies and loving kindness (Psalm 103:4). He says in Joel 2:32 ESB
« And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved »
Call on Him today and be saved.
Prayer focus – Father, please deliver me from every end time calamity, in the mighty name of Jesus.
