THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES (WISDOM FOR EXCELLENCY) “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” Act 4:12
Name is a title by which a person, place or thing is known. There are millions of names in this world, and everyone esteems the name he or she bears. Even if it is not too important to others, it is certainly important for the bearer. However, some other names are greatly respected by others, such as the names of Kings, presidents, governors, etc. Although there are so many names that matters, there is the name that matters most. The name is an incomparable name. There is healing, salvation and deliverance in this name. This name is a strong tower where the righteous run into and become saved. And it is the only name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. What is this name? JESUS! Can I hear you shout this name? There are uncountable names in this world but the name of Jesus is greater. Why? This is so because God Himself exalted this name. “Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every other name, that at the name of Jesus every kneel should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the father (Phili.2:10-11). Through this name Peter and John made the crippled man who sat at the temples gate to walk again, Philip caused a lot of havoc in Samaria in this name, and it was also in this name that Paul proclaimed the goodness and casted out demon. (Acts 3:6; 8:1-40; 13-26). Jesus has assured us that He would do whatever we ask for in His name (Jn 14:13), He further promised that “these signs will accompany those who believe; “In my name they will drive out demons, they will pick up snakes with their hands, and when they drink deadly poison it will not hurt them at all, they will place their hands on the sick and they will get well” (Mk 16: 17 – 18). Let us therefore uphold this wonderful name that is above other names. God will not disappoint us. However, why has so many people called on this name and nothing happened? Why is it that this name seem not to be as powerful as it was in the days of the earlier apostles? (To be continued). With Love from JUDE S.C. ASOGWA (Nigeria) Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.
