Memorise:
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.
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 give I
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 Solomon1:3). 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.
