WORD FOCUS: YOUR PROBLEM MUST BOW TO JESUS’ NAME
TEXT: Philippians 2:10 “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;…”
What does the Name of Jesus signify in a believer’s life? Verily, it signifies life or as Jesus declared in (Jn. 14:6) He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. The Name proved beyond all doubt is the Promised Messiah and God’s Son that has given us full redemption. It quickens everything that is dead back to life- a quickening Spirit. (Rom. 8:17) Whatever is troubling you, if it has a name, it must bow to the name of Jesus! Cancer must bow to the name of Jesus. Poverty must bow. Shame must bow. The Bible tells us that God has highly exalted Jesus and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee must bow! That is exactly what happened when a severely demon-possessed man saw Jesus. The demons in him — called Legion for there were many of them — not only begged Jesus not to torment them, but they also fled when Jesus commanded them to go. The man was left whole, healed and in his right mind. (Luke 8:26–35)
Beloved, if your child is sick, lay hands on him and say, “In Jesus’ name, cough, stop. Fever, go in Jesus’ name. Health flows in your body in Jesus’ name!” If there is strife and confusion at home, deal with it the same way. I have used the name of Jesus as I prayed for a couple who were quarrelling in a food center. It was amazing. All the strife between them seemed to melt away and they started to talk calmly after that. That is the power in the Name of Jesus; that is the name of the one who died for you, who rose again and today is at the right hand of God, for you! Child of God, after the resurrection, we now have the power and authority of Jesus to call on His Name because we believe through faith. That is the Name which is above every name, and at which every knee or situation contrary to God’s will in one’s life must and will bow! (Acts 3:6, 16)
