Greetings Fellow Parishioners and Welcome to my Blog!!!
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)
As a child of God, the Name of Jesus has been given to you to live by. You have the legal right and power of attorney to use the Name of Jesus. But most times, it seems we do not know the power behind the name of Jesus. Many people tend to call the name of other things whenever in trouble and believe me those names do not save. The Name of Jesus is the greatest name of all. That Name has been given to you; use it! The Bible says in Colssians 3:17;
Colossians 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
The Name of Jesus represents authority. The Bible says blessed is he who comes in the Name of the Lord. As long as we are living on earth, there will always be occasions for us to use that Name. And when we exercise our right to use the Name of Jesus, we gain the victory. The Bible describes testimonies of healings done through the disciples as they used the Name of Jesus. Multitudes came out of the cities to Jerusalem, bringing the sick and the maimed, and thhey were all healed.
The account of the healing of the lame man at the gate of the temple called Beautiful is one of my favourite portions of the Scripture, because it reveals the power in the Name of Jesus. Peter had received the revelation that he had right to use the Name of Jesus. Hence, he said to the lame man in Acts 3:4-7;
And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
Peter acknowledged the power of that Name and said, "And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all." (Acts 3:16). When you consistently exercise your authority in that Name, your life will be be full of miracles and testimonies.
Use the Name of Jesus today if you are a child of God! At the mention of that Name every knee bows! You can change any hopeless situation with the Name of Jesus.
The Name of the Lord is a strong tower! the righteous runs into it and is safe. Therefore, I cannot be helpless nor distressed about anything, for I have the right to use the Name of Jesus, and that Name is greater and more powerful than any situation I may face! The Name of Jesus is my security and assurance for victory; I live by the power of that Name today.
