A NAME

Text: Philipians  2:9. 

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

From elementary schools, we have been taught that Nouns are names. Anything that has name, be it persons, animals places, or things are nouns. What you need to know is that sicknesses and diseases are things too, because they have names.

Now, we are told expressly from today's text that God has given Jesus a name that is above every other names.That at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth.

God gave Jesus a name above every name, a name that is more  powerful than every other names. And in Matthew 28, just before His ascension, Jesus gave the authority in this name to His disciples. 

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (Matthew 28:18-19).

So, if you are Jesus' disciple, you have been given a name that is above everything that has name.

Everything in heaven, on earth and beneath the earth knows they must bow at the mention of the name of Jesus in the mouth of any of His disciples.  The issue is, are you aware you have such authority? If yes, are you truly using it.

Regardless of the situations or the challenges, if it has a name it has to bow to the name of Jesus (provided you belong to Jesus). 

Even if you never had any relationship with Jesus before, if you believe in Him now, His name will work wonders in your life, and He will work wonders through you.

Stand in your place of authority and start to command that daunting and overwhelming sickness or situation to bow to the name of Jesus now.

 *THE NAME OF JESUS IS GREATER AND HIGHER THAN ALL NAMES, SPEAK IN THE POWER OF HIS NAME.* 


 *Bible Reading:* 

Matthew 28: 18-20.


PRAYER FOCUS

Father Lord, thank you for giving us a name that is greater than every other name. Thank you for the authority we have 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...

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...
