TEACH THEM TO OBEY - LESSON SEVEN

I HAVE THE NAME OF JESUS

Through our identification with Christ, we did not only participate in His death, burial, resurrection and seating at God’s right hand, but we also received the legal right to the use of His name. God has highly exalted the Name of Christ Jesus, and therefore the use of the Name is a huge blessing for the believer. The Name of Jesus is so powerful that anytime it is mentioned it is as if Jesus Himself is physically present. Jesus did not need to be given a great name because he was already above all. But God invested in the Name of Jesus for the Church.

 

Why do we need a Name?

a.       We are redeemed from dominion of Satan, yet we live in a world ruled by Satan

b.      Satan is the god of this world and has opportunity to attack believers through diseases, difficulties, trials and temptations, etc – 2Cor 4:4, Eph 2:2

c.       We need to resist the devil all the time – James 4:7

d.      The Name of Jesus is one of the weapons God gave us to wage war against the devil in our lives and also in the lives of the people around us – Mk 16:17-18

Three Reasons why the Name of Jesus is great  

a.       He inherited it – Heb 1:2-4

b.      He achieved it through conquest – Col 2:15

c.       It was conferred on him – Phil. 2:9-10

All believers have the right to use the Name of Jesus Christ – John 16:23-24

a.       We have the right to use the name in making requests to God in prayer

b.      We have the right to use the name of Jesus in winning souls – Matt 28:19-20

c.       We have the right to use the name against evil spirits – Mk 16:17

d.      We have the right to use the name in healing the sick and performing miracles – Mk. 16:18

e.       We have the right to use the name of Jesus to overcome every adversity – Mk 16:18

f.       We are more than conquerors through His name – Rom 8:35-39

CONFESSION: The name of Jesus Christ is above all names. Let every power be subdued now, in Jesus name

PRAYER: I pray and bind all authorities and powers and command them submit to me now, in Jesus name.
