The Benefits Of His Name – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional October 4th

(The Name Of Jesus Is For The Benefit For The Church)

TO THE BIBLE: Ephesians 1:20-21 AMPC
“…He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places], far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come.”

LET’S TALK
Many people today don’t understand the power and authority that’s in the Name of Jesus and the power of attorney we have to use it. That’s why they haven’t fully enjoyed its benefits.

The Lord Jesus has a Name that’s superior to all titles of authority in this world and the next. So, learn to use His Name.

The Weymouth New Testament describes the transcendent greatness of His power and might, the supremacy and dominion of His Name, His reign and glory both in this age and in the age to come.

It says He’s in the “…heavenly realms, high above all other government and authority and power and dominion, and every title of sovereignty used either in this Age or in the Age to come” (Ephesians 1 :20-21 WNT).

The most beautiful part is that His authority, rulership, reign and dominion are for the good of the Church: “…Christ rules over all forces, authorities, powers, and rulers.

He rules over all beings in this world and will rule in the future world as well. God has put all things under the power of Christ, and for the good of the church he has made him the head of everything” (Ephesians 1:21-22 CEV).

He is all that He is for our advantage. His Name wields all the power that it wields for our benefit “…God has put all things under the authority of Christ, and he gave him this authority for the benefit of the church” (Ephesians 1:22 NLT).

With this knowledge at the fore of your mind, never live as a victim. Don’t live an ordinary life. Use the Name of Jesus. He said, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.”

Then on the basis of that authority, He said, “Go therefore…” (Matthew 28:18-19). Devils, angels, life, death, hell, the world, circumstances, living and non-living things hear and respond to us in His Name. Therefore, be conscious of the transcendent greatness of His Name; live and do all things in His Name.

Isaiah 45:23; Ephesians 1:17-23 AMPC

Speak:
The Lord Jesus is set in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that’s named. Therefore, all of nature, angels and demons hear and obey when I speak, because I stand and speak in the authority of Jesus Christ. Glory to God!
