Christ like mission: THE NAME OF JESUS

THE NAME OF JESUS

                                                   

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 (Philippians 2:9-11).

The Name of Jesus is the Name above all names; in that Name is vested all authority in heaven, in earth and the regions of the damned. In that Name, you can alter unfavorable economic situations to your advantage, and effect positive changes in your nation of residence.

God has highly exalted and given Jesus a Name, which is above every name; such that by the instrumentality of His Name, you can change anything, and achieve anything! The Name of Jesus has efficacy by the very mention of it.

When you make decrees in His Name, about your physical body, finances, family, the economic situation, etc., the Name of Jesus seals it. If a Christian were diagnosed with cancer for example, he doesn’t need to see it as a death sentence. He can use the Name of Jesus to destroy the cancer. What he needs is to place his hand where the tumour or growth is and say, "in the Name of Jesus, cancer, I command you to die and pass out of my body."

Use the Name of Jesus fearlessly and without doubt. Remember, demons, principalities and powers of darkness cannot resist the authority of that Name. When fear attacks you, use the Name; say, "In the Name of Jesus, I rebuke fear; I refuse to fear!"

No matter the challenges you’re faced with, don’t panic or cry; say, "I command a change in the Name of Jesus," and it shall be so. O, the power of His Name and the victory and dominion we have in Him! If you’re in any predicament today, use the Name of Jesus as an instrument. Declare that in His Name, you have the wisdom to do excellently in every situation. Live victoriously every day—in His Name.

                                                          CONFESSION

I live by the dominion of Christ, and power of the Spirit today, and declare that I’m prospering in all my endeavours because I live in the Name of Jesus: the Name above every name. I live triumphantly in all circumstances of life. Blessed be God!

Philippians 2:9-11

New Life Version (NLV)

9 Because of this, God lifted Jesus high above everything else. He gave Him a name that is greater than any other name. 10 So when the name of Jesus is spoken, everyone in heaven and on earth and under the earth will bow down before Him. 11 And every tongue will say Jesus Christ is Lord. Everyone will give honor to God the Father.

Acts 3:16

New Life Version (NLV)

16 You see and know this man here. He has been made strong through faith in Jesus’ name. Yes, it is faith in Christ that has made this man well and strong. This man is standing here in front of you all.

THE TRUE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE

By him (Jesus Christ) consequently let us offer the offering of acclaim to God constantly, that is, the foods grown from the ground of our lips expressing appreciation to his name (Hebrews 13:15).

In the same way that the minister offered offerings of smoldered offerings and incense in the Old Testament, today, we offer reparations of applause to God with the foods grown from the ground of our lips, which are the words we talk in acclaim and thanksgiving to the Lord. The reparation of applause transcends shallow articulations like, "Master, I thank you for everything." For it to be an accurate offering of commendation to God, it must be blended with substance from your soul; you must have distinct explanations behind adulating Him, and afterward voice those reasons.

In the same vein, lauding God methods providing for Him much obliged in the Name of Jesus for particular reasons. The reparations of commendation are admissions, assertions, hymns, psalms, and otherworldly tunes that you render to Him for His affection, grace and goodness towards you. They additionally allude to tributes or addresses that recognize and commend the Name of the Lord. They're admissions of God's Word that we make to praise Him.

These admissions (or callings) are the products of the soil of our lips-words from our mouths that offer magnificence to God. Along these lines, when making admissions, say wonderful things in regards to God and give affirmations of His wondrous lives up to expectations. As you make those admissions in Jesus' Name, He (Jesus), being our Great High Priest, presents them before the Father, who gets your applause and love as a tribute of a sweet-inhaling savour. Halleluiah!

                                                                Petition to God

Favored Father, how extraordinary and superb you are! You're the main savvy and correct God, who rules and runs in the undertakings of men. To you, O Lord, be all eminence, honour, goodness, domain, and acclaim! Much thanks to you for making my life wonderful, and filling me with your goodness, uprightness, and peace, in Jesus' Name. Let it be so.

2 Bring your request. Go to the Lord and say, "O Lord, take away our sins; be benevolent to us and accept us, and we will offer you the offering of applause.

5 Stay far from the affection of cash; be fulfilled by what you have. For God has said, "I will never,never fall flat you nor spurn you." 6 That is the reason we can say without any mistrust or trepidation, "The Lord is my Helper, and I am not anxious about anything that unimportant man can do to me."

15 For in due season Christ will be uncovered from paradise by the favored and just Almighty God, the King of lords and Lord of masters, 16 who alone can never kick the bucket, who exists in light so appalling that no individual can approach him. Unto him be respect and everlasting power and domain everlasting and ever Amen.


                   

WALKING WITH THE SPIRIT

And Enoch walked with God; and he was not; for God took him (Genesis 5:24)

Hebrews 11:5 further enlighten us on how Enoch walked with God; it was by faith; “By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had this testimony, that he pleased God.” Hebrews 11:6 states that without faith, it’s impossible to please God. Religious Christianity teaches that you have to struggle to please God, and to walk with him. However, the reality is that you don’t have to struggle to please God, because the Holy Spirit helps you live the faith life that pleases Him.

When people struggle and still don’t seem to make meaningful progress in life yon can tell they don’t have much fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Real fellowship with the Holy Spirit makes a difference. He’ll make you wise. He’ll produce extraordinary results through you; you’ll have an excellently fulfilled life. I’m absolutely fulfilled in Him. My life has only been in one direction-upward and forward-for one simple reason: walking with the Holy Spirit.

     We read that Enoch walked with God, and he was translated that he should not see death. Death isn’t just the cessation of biological life; it represents poverty, defeat, sickness, failure of destruction that work in men’s lives: the death that work in their minds, visions and dreams! All of that will have no power over you because you’ve been translated above “death”-in your job, finances, education, family and ministry.

When Christ came into your life, you were translated from the dominion of darkness into the kingdom of God’s dear Son (Colosians 1:3); that’s where you are now! Walk with the Spirit and enjoy your glorious life in Him.

LIGHT THROUGH DARKNESS

                                                   

      

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising (Isaiah 60:1-3).

Have you ever wondered why there're people who are desperately wicked, and treat others with such cruelty? Like what happened several years ago in Sierra Leone, where many had their limbs amputated, including babies. I recall watching a documentary where some of the victims narrated their ordeal. The perpetrators, some of whom were boy-soldiers conscripted to wreak the havoc, had no restraint. They acted with inhuman heartlessness and wickedness.

Such injurious and vicious acts of cruelty don’t happen by themselves; they’re orchestrated by demoniacal forces over whom we have authority in the Name of Jesus against the demonic powers that lure men into such acts of wickedness, breaking their influence over the people.

In Mark 16:17, Jesus said concerning the believing ones, ‘’And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils…’’ Then in Matthew 5:14 He said, "Ye are the light of the world…’’The dark places of the earth may have been filled with habitations of cruelty, but we can do something about it. You don’t have to be physical domiciled in these turbulent regions, but you can effect changes from where you are through authoritative prayer in the Name of Jesus.

You have the power to frustrate the evil one, and insist that the peace of God governs the nations, and rules in men's heart. Pray especially children, who have been displaced due to these senseless acts of violence. Pray that they’d find comfort and peace in the Lord, and that through the intervention of the Spirit and the activities of angels, many would be guided to receive salvation.

                                             

THE KINGDOM OF GOD HAS COME!

Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God [`Mark 1:14}.

Jesus came preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. He said the time is fulfilled; the Kingdom of God is here [Mark 1:15}. What is the Kingdom of God?

The Kingdom of God is not a place; it’s the reign of God, where He becomes Lord, where He becomes the Boss, and rules; where He’s in charge, and expresses Himself-His glory and His goodness. That’s why Jesus warned that when you’re told ‘’the Kingdom of God is over there or over here,’’ you shouldn’t believe it; because the Kingdom doesn’t come by observation; it’s within you {Luke 17:20-21}. God’s plan is to set up His Kingdom in the hearts of men; it’s a spiritual Kingdom.

    Recall when Jesus was brought before Pilate, in John 18:36-37; Pilate asked Him some questions to which He responded, ‘’…My Kingdom is not this world…’’ {John 18:36}. God’s Kingdom is not a physical structure; accordingly Jesus said, ‘’it has come’’-{ie.] to be set up in the hearts of men. Thus, the Gospel of the Kingdom that Jesus preached is , ‘’Hello everybody, God’s Kingdom can be set up now in your hearts; it has arrived! The time has come for God to set up His headquarters in your heart.’’ This wasn’t possible in the days of Abraham, Moses, Elijah, David, Solomon, and the patriarchs of old. However, when Jesus came, He brought the Kingdom in Him.

Being born again, the Kingdom is now in your heart: the peace, the beauty, the glory, and the life of God have been set up in your heart! God is at home in you now. What a life He’s brought to us, and brought us into! He wants it published in every village, town, city, and nation-that anyone who believes can now have the Kingdom of God set up in his heart! What a Gospel!

                                                                                        Prayer

Dear Father, I thank you for the Kingdom of God has been set up in my heart, thus, bringing into me, life of glory. I declare that my life is for your glory, and I show forth your virtues, excellence, perfections, and beauty, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THE POWER OF YOUR EXPECTATIONS

It's great to be expectant! You can only live a life of celebration and grace by putting your hopes and expectations on the Word of God.

If you can get the Word into your system, there is nothing you can't achieve. That's the secret of the miraculous, the supernatural!

It is your responsibility to invest the Word of God in yourself by studying it regularly. If you can inundate your mind with it and store it in your spirit, the Word of God will produce great results in you and you will glow with the Glory of God.

 The Word of God has the creative power to transform your life. God's Word is tested and proven! It never fails.  Once you have learn t to anchor your  existence on the on the Word and you are on your way to a life of success and permanent prosperity.


The expectations of those around you modify your behavior for better, or for worse. Your own expectations can fill you with energy, or drive you into despair and despondency. Expectations narrow your choices in life, while providing drives, which energize you into achieving higher goals. Imitative learning, unique self perceptions and social boundaries mold the expectations, which intuitively focus your goals and empower your endeavors.

Your Tongue Controls Your Life

Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou are taken with the words of thy mouth.
                                   [Proverbs 6v2].


There is a spiritual language for the Christian. That's why, as a child of God, you ought to put the Word on your lips, because the supernatural life is based on your tongue. Your tongue controls your life.

The Apostle James likened the tongue as a rudder of a great ship, which the captain uses to direct the ship wherever he wants {James 3v4-5}.

In Matthew 12v36-37, Jesus said, ''But I say unto you, that every idle word men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the Day of judgement. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.'' literally, this means a man will go to heaven or hell because of what he said or didn't say, with his tongue! Read the Apostle Paul's words about salvation in Romans 10v8-10: ''...if thou shalt confession with the mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with thine heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

          Your tongue controls your life. If a man's words are confusing, his words will be confusing as well. In the same vein, if your words are wholesome, your words will be wholesome, perfect and inspiring! Proverbs 15v4 says, ''A wholesome tongue is a tree of life...''Jesus taught that what you say is what you get {Mark 11v23].

                         Watch what you say, for your confessions control your future. Proverbs 12v18 says, There is that speaketh like piercings of a sword: But the tongue of the wise is health.'' You can keep yourself in health, safety, prosperity and victory with your tongue. Talk faith, success, and increase! 1 Peter 3v10 says, ''For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile.


                                                       Prayer    

Dear  Father, thank you for teaching me about the power of my words. Through your Word, and by your Spirit, I'm  training my tongue to speak only life-giving words that are consistent with your will for my life, and I declare that my future is secure, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
