Hello everyone, happy new month to you. My prayer is that in this month, you will grow in grace and in the knowledge of God in Jesus' name.
I will like to continue from where I stopped yesterday. I said yesterday that the MORE EXCELLENT NAME THAT JESUS OBTAINED BY INHERITANCE IS THE SON OF GOD. It means He has become THE HEIR, POSSESSOR AND INHERITOR OF ALL THINGS. Not only that, ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM AND WITHOUT HIM WAS NOT ANYTHING MADE THAT WAS MADE.
This should register something profoundly into our spirits; HIS NAME CAN HAVE A TANGIBLE EFFECT ON EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING. There is nothing in any realm of the spirit that the name of Jesus don't have effect on. There is no BEING OR THINGS that don't respond to the name of Jesus.
His name is THE BUILDING BLOCK OF EVERY BEINGS AND THINGS. It means there is nothing faulty that His name cannot repair. It also mean that the power to create and destroy resides in His name. No wonder He said in John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
The Greek word used for 'do' in this scriptures means that 'even if the thing is not in existence before, I can create it'. Whao! Glory to God.
Now let us take a closer look at Philippians 2:5-11
Phi 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
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.
Listen up, just like I have established before, He has been called by the name 'JESUS' since birth but, you couldn't have used His name to do anything extraordinary before the above event happened. In fact, the Bible says the miracle of turning water into wine was the first miracle He did. Meaning that from age 0-30 years, NO MIRACLE was done.
But, the Bible says God has HIGHLY EXALTED HIM AND HAS GIVEN HIM A NAME THAT IS ABOVE ALL NAME THAT AT THE NAME OF JESUS, EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW...
The question is this,
WHAT NAME WAS HE GIVEN HERE?
The name is 'LORD'. This name means that He is
SUPREME IN AUTHORITY,
CONTROLLER,
OWNER, Luke 19:34.
MASTER- One to whom service is due to on any ground. Mt. 6:24, Mt. 24:50, Eph. 6:5
EMPEROR OR KING.Act 25:26, Rev. 17:14
FATHER- Mt. 21:30
RULER Mt. 27:63
SUBDUER
ADONAI LORD Mt. 1:22, 22:44
ELOHIM GOD.
God has made Him Lord over everything whether visible or invisible, things or beings. Acts 2;36, 16:36, Deut. 10:14,Mt. 11:25, Acts 17: 24
The name LORD is THE OFFICE WHICH JESUS THE CHRIST WAS GIVEN after HE COMPLETED HIS EARTHLY MISSION.
Every reader will agree with me that someone appointed into a political position doesn't need to change his/her name. His/her name will blend into the office. Jesus is Lord over everything. 1 Cor.11:20, Rev 1:10, 1 Tim. 6:14-16.Hallelujah!
He dominates everything.
His name is a fortress of safety. Acts 2:21, Joel 2:32, Pro. 18:10, PS. 20:7,9, ROM.10:13.
All AUTHORITY ( GREEK: EXOUSIA- executive power, right to give command that must be obeyed) and POWER (GREEK: DUNAMIS- dynamic ability to produce change, ability to enforce obedience anyhow which must be obedient to Him.
DELEGATED AUTHORITY
Not only did Jesus have all of the things that I have described before, but, He has been given headship over the Church which is His body the fullness of Him that fills all in all.
Jesus the Christ is the Head and we (the Church is His body). He has given to us THE POWER OF ATTORNEY- the right to the usage if His name. We have been appointed to weird the limitless power theñ name carries. He has appointed us to go everywhere and proof that His name is really what the Word of God says git is and advertise it can do.
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
We have the right to Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Faher, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Through our Union with Him, we now have right to use His name.
FAITH IN THE NAME OF JESUS
Having explained deeply on the potency of the name, I like to tell all the readers of this broadcast that
WHAT PRODUCES RESULT IS NOT THE CALL/SHOUT OF THE NAME JESUS BUT, FAITH IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
The position of the semi colon (;) in this passage is a source of confusion here. From the original text, the semi colon(;) came after the name. In other words, it reads like this:
This signs shall follow they that BELIEVE IN MY NAME; they shall cast out devils,...
What differentiate Believer A from Believer B is KNOWLEDGE which produce FAITH.
Some people have gotten to a level that when they call the name of Jesus, miracles must happen.
Peter attributed the miracle of the lame man laid at the beautiful gate in Act 3 to FAITH IN
THE NAME OF JESUS. Acts 3:16.
My brother and sister, as I round off, I like to tell you that the differences between us(the body of Christ) is FAITH IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
HAPPY NEW MONTH.
