THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THE NAME OF JESUS


May 31, 2013


There was a testimony of a servant of God travelling on a narrow bridge that could only take one car at a time. Suddenly there was another truck coming from the other side of the bridge. There were two options; either they had head on or one reverses for the other. However, they were both speeding and the option of reversing was out of the game.

The servant of God had his wife beside him. He said that the wife started shouting “Jesus,” until he cautioned her by saying “one Jesus is enough for this situation.” According to him, how the two vehicles went through without any accident still remains a mystery to him.

Names are very important. They are brands. They are ways of distinguishing who is who. Names have meanings. Jokingly there is a Yoruba adage that says that it is the effect of the name in the life of a man named Adeshina that will make him end up as a gateman.

Names establish authority. The acts, the miracles, the healings, the raising of the dead, the casting out of demons – all were done in the name of Jesus.

I looked at the name of Jesus and realized that there is just something special about the name of Christ. Acts 4:10 says “Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.”

The name heals; delivers; saves; blesses; sets free; promotes; raises from the dead and so on and on. There is nothing that you need that is not in the name of Jesus. New wine is there. Better jobs are there. Good spouses are there. Wonderful kids are there. LR3 jeep is there. 5 bedroom duplex is there. The name is an all in one name. It is omnipotent.

Death hears the name and trembles. Sickness hears the name and vanishes. Debt hears the name and disappears. Shame hears the name and turns to double honor.

I speak today that everything you desire in that sweet name of Jesus be granted to you in Jesus Name. Amen!
