AUTHORITY IN JESUS' NAME-2

Text : Philippians 2:9&10

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 

 *The name of JESUS is the only passport you have to God's throne.* 

The approach you use when using the name of Jesus to command a situation is quite different when you are making a request in His name in the place of prayer. The reason many don't have their prayers answered is because they pray amiss. 

When you pray, you are not to pray to Jesus but to God in the name of Jesus. This is where many believers miss it altogether. John 15:16,16:23 & 26 established the fact that you pray to God in Jesus' name. 

Jesus said in John 16:23 that whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in His name, He (the Father) will give it to you. 

So, you must be well grounded in the fact that all prayers are directed to the Father (God) in the name of Jesus. 

Praying and giving thanks to God in the name of Jesus gives you the right access of fellowship with God. . 

One major key to effective use of Jesus' name is having FAITH in His name. You must strongly believe that the name will always answer for you. You must unwaveringly rely on the resultant effect of the name. No wonder we are told not to take the name of God in vain. Exodus 20:7. 

Taking the name of God in vain might as well be equivalent to calling or using the name without believing in its potency.

Apostle Peter said about the man that was healed at the beautiful gate that it was Faith in Jesus' name that got him healed.  

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.

Many people will often think that calling Jesus' name several times or shouting it on top of their voices will make the name more potent and powerful to deliver the desired result. While it may not be a bad idea to shout the name, it is important to know that the potency of the name is not released when it is shouted or chanted. *The name of Jesus simply works and make power available when it is called in Faith.* 

If only you will use the name of Jesus in Faith, then you will be able to take delivery of your miracle today. Acts 2:21.

Bible reading: Mark 16:1-20.

 *PRAYER FOCUS.* 

1.) Use the name of Jesus to drive out that sickness out of your body. Command the devil to take off his hands from your life, health, family, business, ministry in the name of Jesus.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
