The Power in His Name

By Deaconess Florence Oyedeji

We use this phrase in prayer a lot, but how many really understand the full impact of what it means to say "In the name of Jesus"?

What is the power of someone's name? It is a word or expression in which someone is represented to us. When I mention or hear a name, it brings to mind the whole man, what I know of him/her and also the impression he or she has made on me.

The name of a king includes his honor, his power, and his kingdom. His name is the symbol of his power. And so, each name of Jesus embodies and represents some part of the glory of the Unseen One.

The Name of Christ is the expression of everything He has done and everything He is and lives to do as our Mediator. Matthew 28:18, says "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,

All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth."  Knowing the meaning of this word gives us a much greater idea of what Jesus meant when He said "all power." He was talking about all authority; He was given the privilege and right to do as He pleases, and the right of governmental authority over everything in heaven and in earth.

You will have good success this 2017.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.
