Power in the name of Jesus



Name is a word or anything that people use to identify or differentiate something or somebody, when something happen whether good or bad, it is the name that will be use to identify the actor or subject. Thus the reason while God brought all that he created to Adam to give them a name that will be use to identify or differentiate them. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. Genesis 2:19-20. See also Genesis 3:20


On the other hand, name has spiritual influence over the destiny of every living creature, most especially the human being. Thus make God to change some people’s name in the Bible; Abram to Abraham (Genesis 17:5), Sarai to Sarah (Genesis 17:15), Jacob to Israel (Genesis 32:28) and many others.


The name of Jesus which means Christ the savior of the world and Emmanuel which means God is with us was given to Jesus even before he was born into this world. According to the book of Matthew which said “and she shall bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name Jesus; for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the by the prophet saying, behold a virgin shall be with child and shall bring forth a son and they shall call his mane Emmanuel which being interpreted is God with us (matthew 1:21-22). It is God the father that declared the name of Jesus, first through his prophet to the people of Israel and later through his angel to his earthly parent; Joseph and Mary.  God know the important of name on the achievement of someone assignment he didn’t for Mary and Joseph to give a name to his son as he did with Adam in genesis chapter 2 verse 19. The name of Jesus is just like every other name. It’s an authorized name from. Research show that the name of Jesus was mention 981 times in the bible while Christ was mention 571 times  


Divine power in the Jesus name


Jesus the son received his authority from his heavenly father. God the father announce him to be his beloved son and world should listen to him; While he yet spoke, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. (Matthew 17:5) Jesus also declared it in the public in Galilee that all power both in heaven and on earth has been given to him; And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” Matthew 28:18. 

We all see how Christ use this authority to carry out his delegated assignment work while on earth; he use his authority to preach the gospel of kingdom, heal all manner of disease, sickness and torments and those that which were possessed with devil and those which were lunatic and that had the palsy and he healed them all. He also purifies the impure people, transform sinners to saint, convert idolaters to God servants and change desert to God’s garden
