AUTHORITY IN JESUS' NAME

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;


Believing in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death) would mean that you also believe in the person of Jesus Christ. And if you truly believe in Jesus, then you must as well  believe in the power that is embeded in His name. 

As a believer, you must know how to use the name of Jesus authoritatively. When you use the name of Jesus against any other name in heaven, on earth or under the earth, there must be instant obedience. 

JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these exploits in the authority of Jesus' name.

No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised. 

Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whole generation(age 20 upward) in the wilderness. " _Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me"_ Numbers 14:29

They perished because they did not believe in His name (ability and personality). They gave evil report by saying, 
"And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight
as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight"  Numbers 13:33 

The Israelites were comparing their stature with that of the giants in Canaan. They forgot the name and the promise of God. 
Is this not your situation today? Quick to slide into unbelief, quick to look down on yourself, quick to forget the potency of the name- to save and to deliver. 

Using someone's name means that the power is only resident in the name and not in you.

You must be bold in the authority that has been given to you to use the name of Jesus against any devil or situation.  No matter how Big or powerful you are, when you stand before a judge in the court of law, you will shiver. Why? He is backed up by constituted  authority (as spelt out in the constitution). The judge only believes in constitution that he's got authority to send anyone to jail, sentence to death or set free.

In the same way, as a believer, you have the authority in the name of Jesus to loose and bind.  Simply use Jesus' name by Faith and you will always get the desired result.

 *The name of Jesus will bring the devil on his knees right before you, it will cast him out from your life, and it will cause him to flee from you if only you will believe the name in the power in the name.* 

Bible reading: Mark 16:1-20.

 *PRAYER FOCUS.* 

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

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 ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
