THE NAME OF JESUS


Text: Philippians 2:9

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

Name is as important as the personality, because it shows identity, power, and capacity of its carrier. 

Jesus' name carries with it a great power and potency. 

God exalted Jesus and gave Him a name that is above every name. Note that the name was given after He died and rose again. Jesus earned the name through the things he sacrificed and suffered. Philippians 2:5-8.

You must learn the wisdom of how the name of Jesus works. It is not just about chanting and shouting the name that makes it work, but it's about your Faith in the name. 

The name of Jesus without faith in Him,  is like holding a debit (ATM) card that is having an account balance in excess of 1trillion dollars but you don't have the PIN with you. 

So, the name of Jesus is like the debit card, anyone can actually access this but not the PIN. And the PIN is what guarantees your withdrawal with the card. 

Faith in the name of Jesus Christ is your access code to the potency of the name.

See the case in Acts 3. Peter remarked about the case of the lame man that received his healing: _"And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all._ 
Acts 3:16

The name of Jesus will not work for you until you have placed all your faith in the name and the personality that carries the name.

Bible reading: Philippians 2:1-11.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
