WONDERS- WORKING NAME
Memorize:
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:
Mathew 1:21-23
21 And
she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall
save his people from their sins.
22 Now
all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by
the prophet, saying,
23 Behold,
a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call
his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
BIBLE
IN ONE YEAR: ISAIAH 19:16-22:25 and ACTS 5:1-21
Message
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 I give thee: In the name of
Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk."
Immediately
Peter mentioned this Name, the feet and ankles 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 Jesus 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 reasons, 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
This
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 (Acts
10:43)
When
Peter commanded the lame man to walk 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 oppressed. A young Christian
was traveling in a boat one day, and as the boat was about to capsize, he
shouted 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.
