SPIRITUAL WEAPONS OF WARFARE 27

Image
By

Hello everyone, welcome to today's broadcast. We started discussing THE NAME OF JESUS yesterday and I gave some insights from Song of songs 1:3 and Ex. 30:22-25.
Today, let us plunge into the fully into the teaching.
Many messages have been preached, many Dramas have been acted, many songs have been composed and many books have been written concerning THE NAME OF JESUS.
Despite all of this, so many Christians are still at the shallow level in the functional knowledge they have on the Name of Jesus. This is seriously pathetic.

Let me say first of all that the name of Jesus is not just a punctuation mark in spiritual dialogue. You know we start our prayers in the name of Jesus and end with 'Amen'. Everything begins and ends in Him.
Col  1:17 says 'And he is before all things, and by him all things consist'.
Our prayers start and ends in His name. I hope you know that 'Amen' Doesn't just mean 'so be it'?
AMEN IS THE NAME OF JESUS.
Rev  3:14 ...These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

We start prayers in the name of Jesus and end with the name of Jesus.

What Does the NAME OF JESUS REPRESENT?
When you mention a person's name, you are calling the person's attention to something or a place. Everything a person represents is embedded in his/her name.

Let's dig the scriptures:
Hebrews  1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
 1:7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
  1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
 1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

From the above verses of scriptures, i. The name of Jesus rank higher than the name of angels.

ii. The verse four says He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than the angels.
 The questions are:
* What does 'by inheritance' mean?
** What is the excellent name?

* In dateless past, there is a predestination on God the Word based on the unanimous decision of the GOD-HEAD that He will become the SON OF GOD. This is what is meant by 'He obtained a more excellent name by inheritance'. Notice that when the members of the God Head were mentioned in Genesis and some other places, what we saw was GOD THE FATHER, THE WORD AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. Gen. 1:3, John 1:1, 1 John 5:7. It was when GOD THE WORD ENTERED INTO THE WOMB OF MARY AND WAS BORN THAT WE HAVE THE SON.
The name of the body the Son wears around is JESUS. This is why the name 'Jesus' is not mentioned in the Old Testament.

The 'MORE EXCELLENT NAME' that He obtained by inheritance is SON OF GOD.
This means that He is the HEIR (inheritor, possessor) OF ALL THINGS.
 Not only is He the possessor of all things, ALL THINGS (WITH NO EXCEPTION) WERE MADE BY HIM. John 1:1-4,  Heb. 1:2.
Jesus is the Son of God. Col. 1:7.

CASE TWO
Phi.  2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
The question is this what name was given to Him after He rose from the dead?
I will like to tell you that NO CHANGE HAPPENED TO HIS NAME LITERARILY.
Rather, POWER AND AUTHORITY WERE VESTED INTO HIS NAME. Mt. 28:18. Everything that connotes the Power and authority of the God-Head is now IN HIS NAME.
 The Throne of the Almighty God backs up the call of the name of JESUS.
I Like to stop here and continue tomorrow.

Prayer of Enquiry

By
PRAYER OF ENQUIRY Prayer is a well established and accepted doctrine in all denominations of the body of Christ. Although, there are differences in our modes of prayer, we all believe in the efficacy of lifting up our voice to God to hear our requests and answer them. As much as we do a lot of this, we don't take the full advantage of it as children of God. We would rather worry and think things through rather than calling on God for help. This can be due to lack of faith in the power of God or being slothful in prayers. Apart from the aforementioned factors that prevent us from enjoying the efficacy of prayers, one key factor that prayer hinges on is praying correctly. To pray correctly simply means to pray according to the will of God. It is easy to know the will of God about sickness and poverty because they are expressly written in bible, but even at this, we still do not get answers when we pray. What you might be missing out may be a simple enquiry. The prayer ...

Holy Spirit 15- The Seven Spirits of God- Part 2

By
We have established yesterday that the 7 Spirits of God describe the 7 fold distinct manifestation of the Holy Spirit and it also describes the perfection of the Spirit of God. The answer to yesterday's quiz is: when God stepped into the matter in Eden, the 7 persons brought by the number 7 are: Adam, Eve, Physical Serpent, spiritual Serpent (the Devil), the Seed of the Woman (Jesus the Christ), the seed of the spiritual serpent (Antichrist) and God Himself . Re- read Day 14 to know how this fit in. Today's Broadcast 2. THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM Is. 11:2, Eph. 1:17 This is the Spirit that reveals to you the PLANS AND PURPOSES OF GOD CONCERNING YOUR LIFE, A MATTER, PLACE, etc. If you will ever know why you are on earth, you need the operation of the Spirit of Wisdom. He reveals EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING about the future. There are 3 prominent Greek words used for Wisdom relevant to our subject; SOPHIA, SUNESIS and PHRONESIS. A. SOPHIA describes the entire wisdom of God. T...

Holy Spirit 4- The Symbol of Dove

By
Mt. 3:16, Mk. 1:10. This typifies the harmless and gentle nature of God the Holy Spirit. He neither FORCE NOR FUSS ANYONE. It is only the Devil that force people and even afflict them without their consent. The Holy Spirit IS NOT a dove; He created the dove. Luke 3:22 says 'the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove upon Him'. Many have wrongly interpreted this verse and that's why many church logos have the dove as an integral part of it. You need to know that the church can NEVER COME INTO HER FULL POTENTIAL AND RELEVANCE ON THE EARTH UNTIL SHE KNOWS (knowledge with participation-Greek EPIGNOSIS) the Holy Spirit. The person that designed the handbill for EPIGNOSIS Nite had already put a Dove there to represent 'the Holy Spirit'. I told him to remove it. The symbols in most cases are already becoming an idol in many people's hearts and rather than for many to think of the Holy Spirit as a person, they think of Him as a dove/fire/wind,etc. T...
