WONDER - WORKING NAME
Memorise: And these signs shall follow
them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with
new tongues; Mark 16:17
Read: Matthew 1:21-23, Bible in one year:
Isaiah 19:16-22:25, Acts 5:1-21
From Mark 16:17, we understand that
signs and wonders shall follow those who believe in the Name of Jesus
Christ. The wonder-working power in the
Name of Jesus Christ is also declared in Isaiah 9:6. Indeed the Name of Jesus
is full of wonders. In Acts 3:6, Peter the apostle said that,
“…
Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of
Jesus Christ of Nazareth
rise up and walk.”
Immediately Peter mentioned this Name,
the feet and ankle bones of the lame man he was talking to received strength
and he began to make progress in life – beginning with walking and later
leaping. With the Name of Christ in your mouth, nothing becomes impossible for
you. Those who do not believe in the Name of Jesus for salvation, either for
religious or intellectual reason, may not know what they stand to lose. The
Bible says:
“The
name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it and is safe.”
Proverbs
18:10
The scripture reveals the secret that
makes the Name of Jesus work for someone: righteousness.
Only the righteousness that is obtainable through that Name can make the
same Name work wonders for you. As a matter of fact, it is through this Name that
we receive forgiveness of sins (Act 10:43).
When Peter commanded the lame man to
work in the Name of Jesus, it was done immediately. By the power in that Name,
Jesus, I command you to receive deliverance from all forms of oppression you
have been suffering from now on. The Name of Jesus Christ is anointed (Song of
Solomon 1:3). This is why the Name destroys the yokes of the devil and produces
deliverance for the oppressed. A young Christian was travelling in a boat one
day, and as the boat was about to capsize, he stopped that Name. Unseen hands
came to his rescue. I pray that the Name of Jesus will begin to work for you as
you believe and use the Name as from today in Jesus’ Name. The devil may resist
anything but not the Name of Jesus Christ, because God has given Him a Name
above every other name (Philippians 2:9-11)
Action Point
Apply the Name of Jesus to any
challenging situation or anything that represents a mountain in your life, and
you will see it give way to the glory of God the Father.
