Bible Reading : John 14:11-13 KJV. Key Verse :v13.
Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, but that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
This time, Jesus started getting his early disciples ready for his imminent departure to the heavens, having fulfilled his earthly ministry. They didn’t want him to leave because they were used to being with him and enjoyed everything about his life and ministry. He had to take time to educate them on the need for him to leave to their advantage. He made them understand that his going back to the father was not going to be an abandonment. Rather, it would be a continuation of his assignment in tbe heavens to their advantage. “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” John 14:1-3.
Before he left, he gave us his name to use on earth to make things happen anywhere we find ourselves, as a result of his continuous presence in our lives through the Holy Spirit. The name of Jesus is one of the most important instruments the Lord gave us to use as his children on earth. In the first place, we use his name to war in order to enforce his will on earth over every form of rebellion when we encounter them. “And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 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.” Philippians 2:8-11.
On the other hand, the name of Jesus also has been given to us to use and get whatever we desire from the father. The name of Jesus therefore can be likened to the authorised signature to validate transactions in a bank. When you tender a cheque drawn by an account owner, they can go ahead and honour the cheque or pay, if it bears the authorised signature. In the heavens and on earth, the name of Jesus opens every locked doors and releases uncommon favour and answers when we appear in God’s presence to receive. When we ask, we have to ask with understanding and in faith. Again, our requests has to be in agreement with God’s will in any given situation. “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them .” Mark 11:23-24.
Prayer :Thank you Father God for giving me the name of Jesus to use and rule my world. Thank you because as I use his name, everything will respond to me. Thank you for making me walk in harvest of answers in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : Job 1:1-22.
