TEXT : PHILIPPIANS 2:9-11
THE AUTHORITY OF A CHILD OF GOD.
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;
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
What's in a name?
I heard this story from a great man of God many years ago.
There was a man whose daughter was demonized.
Often she would take off and the man would run after her and would stop her from hurting herself.
This went on for years because the man loved the daughter so much.
As the man got older, it was becoming increasingly difficult to catch up with his young agile daughter.
Once again the devil ceased her again and she started running towards the river to drown herself.
Her father chased after her, but could not catch up with her sleep.
She was now by the close to bridge and was about jumping and the man screamed, "Jesus, hold her for me".
Immediately, a force pulled her back, struck her down and drove out the devil from her.
She screamed convulsed and slept off.
When she woke up, she was perfectly well.
The man stood there for a long time wondering why he didn't use this name all these years.
There is truly power in that holy name, Jesus.
Try it out today, taste and see that the Lord is good.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
