POWER IN THE NAME OF JESUS
BY: PROPHETESS DEBORAH MACFOY AKACHUWKWU
The Bible makes us to understand that the reason Jesus came is to set the prisoners free. If anyone is in bondage and desires to be free, what you desire is legitimate and it’s the will of God for you. We may want to have our freedom but there are powers that have said we shall not be free and it is an error because it is speaking contrary to what Jesus Christ came to do. Therefore, if there’s any reason anyone remains in bondage it is because he/she has refused to accept the ministry, the call and assignment of Jesus Christ in his/her life.
The Bible says in Matthew 1:21 “And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.” (NKJV)
Before Jesus came there was a prophecy about Him and the purpose of His coming was revealed. Mary was told the assignment of Jesus even before she conceived. She had to understand why He was coming, and why she had to carry Him. If we can save ourselves from our sins or if there was any other way, then He would not have come. He came specifically to bring redemption to mankind.
You may have been struggling by yourself to have your deliverance or to be free from the assault of the enemy, but today you have to depend on Him who has the duty. All you have to do is call upon Him, accept Him and receive Him and He will save you.
Acts 2:21 says “And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved.'[2]” (NKJV)
Take note that the bible says whoever calls the name and not if some call the name. This is one sure guarantee that has been given to all mankind. Therefore as a child of God, cash into the promises of God.
Proverbs 18:10″ The name of the LORD is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe.”(NKJV). This means that the name of Jesus is a house that when you run into His name no power can touch you. You can run into His name right now!
In Acts 3:12 Peter and the apostles of old understood that it was not by their own power they perform miracles. Dont be a generation that looks unto a man but be the generation of people who understand that it is only by the power in the name of Jesus that miracles are performed. Always bear in mind that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob has glorified his Son, Jesus. It is when Jesus is glorified that you see miracles, healing, and changes. If anyone has been condemned to sickness, poverty or afflictions know it that Jesus did not come for anyone to be condemned by any principalities or powers or for any of us to be a victim of the wicked but He came that through Him we shall be saved. The passport to a child of God’s deliverance, healing, and victory are in His name. So put your trust in Him. When you begin to call Him he will appearfor His name is His identity.
It is important to note that the name of Jesus can not be abbreviated. His name is Jesus Christ of Nazareth not IJN. It is because we don’t know the efficacy of that name that is why we abbreviate the name. If anybody has made you to underrate or abbreviate or lose your honor for the name then the person has robbed you of the most important and valuable thing for your life. Honor the name of Jesus Christ and activate Its efficacy in your life!
