Text: Philippians 2:9-11
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
A name can open doors of opportunity to you especially if it’s the name of an influential person in the society. This is the reason why in several cultures some ladies don’t drop their maiden surnames even after getting married.
Names also act as signatures which authenticate official documents and authorize transactions.
In the spiritual realm names also have influence. My daughter once had a spiritual attack in the night and screamed, ‘Daddy, Mummy’. I corrected her that demons don’t fear the name of daddy or mummy. I told her that if she ever experiences such at any time again she should call the right name that demons would hear, tremble and lose their strongholds.
Today’s text says, “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those 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
Recall that the name of Jesus is not of man’s origin but was specially supplied by the angel Gabriel sent from Heaven- Luke 1:30-32.When demons (strangers) hear that name they shudder in terror and fade away from their hiding places.
You have suffered many disappointments in life because you have been calling on the wrong names. Some trust in chariots and some in horses but we will put our trust in the name of the Lord-Psalm 20:7.
Call the name of Jesus today and set yourself free from that ugly situation.
Prayer Nugget: In Jesus name, let every evil knee troubling my life bow in surrender; let every accusing tongue against me be silenced forever.
