#TOPIC: THE NAME OF JESUS! (2)

#TEXT:
– Acts 4:12 (KJV) Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved

Acts 3:16 (KJV) 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.

#MESSAGE:
Welcome to today's devotional! It is important i state this morning that the name of Jesus Christ is not a magic word as some considered it to be. The power is not even in saying words, but in understanding and believing all that the name of Jesus Christ signifies.

# His name represents all of His finished work on the cross, fulfilling God's plan of redemption and salvation, victory over sin, death, and over the devil's entire realm.

# When the name of Jesus Christ is invoked, it carries all of the power and distinction God gave to it.
God raised Jesus from the dead, elevated Him to His right hand, and gave Jesus a name above "every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come." (Ephesians 1:21)

# Friends, you just have to believe in His name and hold on to His name. First of all, you need good understanding of this name, follow by your faith. It is your faith in this name that activates the power therein.

# The name of Jesus is so powerful. But the ignorance of it is robbing many of God's blessings and fulfilment in life. The enemy will do anything to keep man in the dark, in the ignorance of the delivery of Jesus name so that he can continue to oppress him. The truth is that the power in the name of Jesus brings deliverance from all oppression of the devil and delivers dominion to mankind, but man must know how to engage His name to activate the tremendous power it carries!

# Stop using His name in ignorance. You need good understanding of His name!

#PRAYER:
Father, thank You for the privilege to engage your Son's name. Lord, give me better and deeper understanding of this name in Jesus mighty name. Amen!
