(Second part)
Memory verse (Acts4:12) : “ Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved ”
God has given the name of Jesus to the believers. Am not trying to mean that every believer is called Jesus. But God has given us the authority to use this name to obtain salvation. God has given the church a divine mandate of reaching the world with the Gospel, but we don’t go in our own names but in the name of Jesus.
In the world when you are employed in an organization, private or government, you receive an identification card as their employee. On that card there is the name of the organization, your photograph, your name, the signature of the head of that organization and yours too. You can transact business on behalf of that organization. That name of the organization can make you meet very important people you could have never met in your name, that name can make you enter places your name could never afford you, that name makes you powerful, that name gives you honor.
Everyone who believes in Jesus and is born again, God has given us this name of Jesus. Jesus is now our master, He is our savoir, He is our God, He is our shepherd, and He sent us to go to the nations to preach the gospel. He is our employer; He gave us the power and authority to use His name to establish his kingdom, to spread the news of His kingdom. This name of Jesus adds greater authority on your life. Hell can try to close doors against, but when you declare I come in the name of Jesus, doors will open to you. That name will make you go place your education would never take you. That name will make demons bow to you. Demons said, Paul we know, Jesus we know, when you carry that name of Jesus, even hell will know you. They will see a greater power and authority of Jesus upon you. God wants you to know that on your kingdom identity there is a name of Jesus above your name. We have put on Christ, that name is written upon our foreheads. You shall make it in life. Stop fearing but do what the Bible teaches, whatever we do in word or deed, do it in the name of Jesus. You have that name everywhere, be conscious of that truth and use it everywhere. All shall be well with you, use it in your home, business, and ministry. Our salvation is in his name and it’s given to us, make use of it.
