DECLARE WHAT YOU WANT IN HIS NAME


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).


PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD.


There’s a difference between calling on the Name of Jesus and making a demand in His Name. It’s crucial to understand this distinction. Consider Romans 10:13; it says, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Sinners can call upon His Name for salvation, but as Christians, we use His Name; we exercise dominion in His Name. 


Using His Name isn’t about calling out to Him as if you’re still a sinner seeking salvation. Now that you’re born again, you belong to the household of God. The Name of Jesus is now named upon you and given to you to live by. You don’t need to call upon Him anymore for anything; rather, you use His Name with authority to create anything or effect the changes you desire.


Notice in our opening verse that He didn’t say, “Call upon my name and I’ll cast the devils out and heal the sick”; no! Rather, you’re to use His Name to cast out devils, heal the sick, cleanse lepers, and raise the dead. His Name is an instrument; use it! In John 14:13-14 He said, "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do...If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it." 


What a bold statement! That means you can demand anything in His Name and it’ll happen. For example, if you were in a distressing situation, instead of calling "Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!" out of desperation or panic, declare what you want in His Name. Speak with the authority He’s given you. You say, "In the Name of Jesus, I demand healing," or "In the Name of Jesus, you devil of darkness, I command you to lose your grip and get out!"


Always remember that you’re in charge and in control because you function in the Name of Jesus. Everything in life, physical and spiritual, including governments, thrones, the galaxies, principalities and powers, are all subject to the Name of Jesus. Declare what you want in His Name with confidence, and you’ll have a testimony. Glory be to God!


PRAYER


Dear Father, thank you for the power and authority you've granted us to use the Name of Jesus. I walk in this authority and exercise dominion over circumstances and situations. I speak healing, peace and prosperity in His Name, and I thank you for the confidence and assurance that come with using the Name of Jesus to effect a change and bring your will to pass. Amen.


FURTHER STUDY


Philippians 2:9-11; Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Fathe


Acts 3:16; And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.


John 16:23 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

MONDAY AUGUST 26TH 2024 EXTRICATED FROM DEATH …who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10).  PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Bible records that in ancient times, humans lived for exceptionally long periods with lifespans exceeding 900 years. However, as sin increased, lifespans diminished. Genesis 6:3 says because of sin, man's lifespan was limited to 120 years. Moses, in his psalms, made an observation that due to sin, the typical lifespan of man was seventy years or eighty for those who were stronger. Even in old age, man’s life was filled with toil and sorrow, ultimately ending in death (Psalm 90:8-10). The Lord Jesus, however, came to address the root cause of this limitation, which is sin. Through His sacrifice, He provided salvation from sin and made eternal life possible. Eternal life includes “deathlessness.” When you were born again, you passed from death to life (John 5:24). Recall what we read in our them...

👤PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc.DD. 🗒️THURSDAY,20 JANUARY 2022🗒️ ⏮️TOPIC: THE KINGDOM WAY OF LIFE  SCRIPTURE 📖 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son (Colossians 1:13) 📍THE MESSAGE📍 When you were born again, you were born into the Kingdom of God’s dear Son. Even though you now live and walk in His presence, you still have to learn how to live in this real Kingdom of Light, and the Scriptures will help you understand this by the power of the Holy Spirit. Paul writing to Timothy said: “But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God…” (1 Timothy 3:15). This means there’s a way to behave oneself in the house of God. Christianity isn’t a way of life, but it has a way of life. In this Kingdom, there’s a language; we have our communication protocols. There’s a way of life; we think differently. This is something the devil doesn’t want many to know. He wants...
