OPEN HEAVEN, RCCG DAILY DEVOTIONAL, WEDNESDAY 23 JUNE 2021

TOPIC FOR TODAY, WEDNESDAY 23:6:21:The name Of the Lord

By Pastor E. A Adeboye
 

MEMORISE:
“Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.” – (Psalm 124:8)

READ: Philippians 2:9-11 (KJV)
9. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name;

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Message: When we call on the name of the Lord, we remind Him of what He has done in the past, which He is capable of doing over and over again. At such times, when we call Him by the name that is associated with some specific wondrous deed of His, He is moved to repeat what He did initially and in greater dimension. Each name of the Lord describes some of His attributes and what He is capable of doing among the children of men.

For example, the Lord’s name – Jehovah-Nissi – meaning the Lord is my banner (as in a war) speaks to the words “hath sworn that the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation” – (Exodus 17:16). When you are confronted with a need that only God can meet and you call Him by His name – Jehovah-Jireh, you are reminding Him of His miraculous provision of a ram according to Genesis 22:13-14.

When you call on the name of Jesus Christ in faith, you get miracles. This is because the name of Jesus Christ has been highly exalted, according to today’s text. …for he shall save his people from their sins. – (Matthew 1:21)

The greatest thing the name of the Lord Jesus Christ does to humanity is the work of salvation. The Bible says:
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. – (Acts 4:12)

The name of the Lord is a strong tower; it is a shield and a sure defence against demonic attack. When someone is genuinely associated with the name of the Lord, the fellow will live a victorious life without limitation. The Bible also says:
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)

Every knee bows and every tongue confesses that Jesus is Lord (Romans 14:11). This is the reason those who are genuinely saved cannot be attacked successfully by demons. My prayer is that as many as are reading this devotional today are delivered from all forms of demonic oppression in the name of Jesus Christ. However, whoever wants that name to work for him or her must surrender to the Lordship of the Owner of the name.

For example, the Almighty God sent an angel to announce to Joseph what name the miraculous child should bear that is, Jesus, and gave the reason for it:

PRAYER POINT:
Father, let every evil knee and tongue bow to the Lordship of Jesus Christ concerning my life, home, work and business in Jesus’ name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 18-22

HYMNAL:
HYMN 1 – ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS’ NAME!

1 All hail the power of Jesus’ name!
Let angels prostrate fall.
Bring forth the royal diadem,
and crown him Lord of all.
Bring forth the royal diadem,
and crown him Lord of all!

2 O seed of Israel’s chosen race
now ransomed from the fall,
hail him who saves you by his grace,
and crown him Lord of all.
Hail him who saves you by his grace,
and crown him Lord of all!

3 Let every tongue and every tribe
responsive to his call,
to him all majesty ascribe,
and crown him Lord of all.
To him all majesty ascribe,
and crown him Lord of all!

4 Oh, that with all the sacred throng
we at his feet may fall!
We’ll join the everlasting song
and crown him Lord of all.
We’ll join the everlasting song
and crown him Lord of all.
