HIS NAME LIVES FOREVER: ACT 3:1-16, ACT 5:28-42

Acts 5:28(Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us. 29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. 40 And to him they agreed: when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go).

The only name that the kingdom for darkness is afraid of is the name of Jesus; we really need to bear in mind the importance of name as we continue our journey here on earth. So many great men and women in the bible died but their name lives on forever here on earth. That’s what destiny is all about, adding value to your name. If you do not add value to your name, no man will be able to benefit from it. Even your children will not be proud of your name. But that will not be you in Jesus name. The Pharisee and their allies thought they had finally got rid of Jesus but his name lives on and continue to torment them to the extent that they commanded his disciples not to speak in his name ever again; because his name continues to set their captive free. Friends, your enemies are afraid of the same name; all you need to do is to have faith in his name. That challenges, sickness and diseases, set back or whatever they call it has a name and whatever has a name bow to the name of Jesus. I personally came to recognize the power in the name of Jesus because whenever I am taken unaware by unpleasant situations, the only thing that used to come out of my mouth both physically and spiritually is the name of Jesus. As soon as I called his name things began to happen and I said to myself wow! What a name. Why was I surprised? You may ask, because my conscious self was not in operation and I depend absolutely on his name. Just like a little child who depends on her parents for everything. That’s why Jesus said that for us to enter into the kingdom of God we should be like little children having no strength of our own but depending on him. That’s how Jesus Christ obtained the name for us, he absolutely dependent on God for guidance even unto his death. Matthew 18:2(And Jesus called a little child unto him and set him in the midst of them, 3 And said, verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven). We need to lay it on his shoulder. He is not complaining. Matthew 11:28(come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest). Friends, your adversary the devil is afraid, only if you will engage the authority in the name of Jesus. Only the children are entitled to take up their father’s name, no matter how close you are to a family you cannot use their name except by adoption. Today, Jesus is calling you to come and use his name. Do not miss this opportunity to chase your enemy away.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
