THE NAME
Philippians
2:5-11
Devotional:- “Therefore
God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every
name” (V. 9) NKJV
One of the things
you have in God as a person in Christ is the name of Jesus. Name is a symbol of
power and greatness. Don’t assume that name is only for attention or identity. The
names of people sometimes interpret the events that surround there lives. Names
sometimes declare people's destinations in life. And the name could also be an
identity of greatness. There are great names and there are mere names. There
are names you will mention, and people will look at you twice. Imagine you
entering anywhere and you introduce yourself as “Mr. God.”
Because Jesus
humbled Himself to suffer and perfect the work of our redemption, God gave Him
a name. This name is not only with authority but also with power. It is the
greatest name in heaven and earth. God’s word says He has been given a name
that is above all names (Philippians 2:9). The name has become the symbol of
authority, in heaven and earth. All kneel bow to the name (Philippians 2:10).
This name can open all doors (Revelation 3:7). It carries heaven’s authority,
so when you mention it, all authority answers to you.
No matter the
situation you may find yourself in, all things stand when you declare it in the
name of Jesus. Friend, understand that this is not an ordinary name. God has
approved this name to unlock divine authority on behalf of believers. That is
why even the devil will tremble when you mention this name (Luke 10:17).
Sickness and pains cannot wait for this name. Failure and frustration cannot
wait for you with this name in your mouth. In any embarrassing confrontation,
just declare the name of Jesus. And you will see the host of God responding
rapidly to you to help you. This is your key to all doors. This is the drawer
of your authority in God. It is the strength of your victory. So, declare it
now and always for your victory.
PRAYER: LORD,
I THANK YOU THAT I AM ORDAINED WITH AUTHORITY IN YOUR NAME.
“HE WHO KNOW
NOT THE MYSTERIES BEHIND THE NAME MAY NOT ENJOY THE BENEFIT IN IT
