Authority

Scripture Reading : Philippians 2:9-10

The Authority and Power that is in the name of Jesus belongs to the church but yet most of the Christendom live defeated lives. Christians use the name of Jesus when saying grace and it is about all the it is used so frequently. But the Lord want us to understand the revelation that is behind the name of Jesus and the power that backs it up.

Just before Jesus ascended to heaven after he gave the command tot he disciples to "Go ye into all the world.." He gave them the unlimited use of His name in life and ministry. The book of Acts gives us an account of the exploits of the early church using the name of Jesus where ever they went. This should be the prototype of the modern in the 20 th Century we live in.

"God highly exalted Him.. " The highest authority in the Universe has placed far above any other as He has exalted and lifted Him up and gave and conferred Him Name that is above every other name in three worlds-heaven, earth and hell. every being in heaven, on earth and under the earth will have to bow down and submit to the wonderful name of Jesus.

His name is above every sickness and disease, financial difficulty, family and relationship problems and habit. If there is name named in these three worlds then the Name of Jesus has full authority over these. The omnipotent power of God is available to us but the church is still in its infancy in understanding this great Revelation that we fin in the Pauline epistles.

The Name above all name -Jesus belong to us . Let's begin to us it in our daily warfare.
