(His Name Commands Respect Everywhere)
TO THE BIBLE: Philippians 2:9-11
“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.”
LET’S TALK
“I have the best grades at school in the Name of Jesus!” were Tom’s famous words every morning just before hitting the road for school. And as was expected, he was always top of the class and envied by other schoolmates of his. Little did they realise that it was the Name of Jesus Christ at work.
As a Christian, you’ve received abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness, and today you can reign in life by Christ Jesus. “How?” you ask. By using the Name of Jesus, you can reign over the world, its systems, circumstances, and over Satan and his demonic host using the Name of Jesus.
His Name is the greatest and highest name in heaven, in earth, and in hell! The Name of Jesus commands the greatest respect. He told us we could cast out devils in His Name. Make sure you’re doing it. Hallelujah!
I recall something that happened when I was a student many years ago. There was a certain university that was troubled by cultists. I mobilised a few friends of mine, and we went to the place where the foundation stone of the school was laid.
When we arrived there, we placed our hands on the stone and declared, “In the Name of Jesus Christ, you demons of darkness that have been controlling this school, controlling the students, responsible for cultism here, we break your authority and influence; be gone in the Name of Jesus!”
Guess what? On that same campus, we set up the fellowship that would become the largest fellowship on that campus to this day.
Wherever you are, you can issue commands to demons anywhere, in the Name of Jesus, and dislodge them. Christianity is living in the Name of Jesus.
Ephesians 6:10 says, “…be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might”; that means take advantage of His ability, might, and power by standing in His Name.
You can’t have that Name and be helpless; never! Use it today and always, and live victoriously evermore.

Colossians 3:17; Romans 5:17 AMPC
Speak:
In the Name of Jesus, I live triumphantly in this world to the glory of God. Even now, I break the influence of Satan over the nations, over the peoples, over the leaders, over the young ones all around the world! Christ reigns in the nations. His righteousness fills the earth and mantles the hearts of men, for all souls belong to Him. Amen.
