Revelations 3:14 - “To the Angel of the Church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation.”
In our text, Jesus was referred to as the Amen, the faithful and the true witness, the beginning of the creation of God.
We usually use the word Amen after saying a prayer to affirm that all that we have said will be as we have said it according to His will. As we say Amen, we realize that we are calling upon Him to advocate for us and bring all that we have said this month and this year to pass.
There are many names by which Jesus is known by. E.g. in our Old Testament reading we come to know Jesus as Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and the Prince of Peace.
When we pray, we should always do so in the name of Jesus. Philippians 2.9- 10. Praying in the name of Jesus involves praying in harmony with His nature, character and will as well as praying with faith in Jesus and His authority.
When we pray in His name, we are praying with the desire to glorify the Father and the Son. When we pray in Jesus name, we ought to be praying the way Christ would have prayed while He was still here on earth and we know that there is no limit to what God can do when we ask anything in His name John 16:23-24.
As we obey God’s commandment to do everything in his name including prayer, let us continue to rejoice and give thanks knowing that Jesus is our Amen and every promise He has made for us will come to pass in our lives, in Jesus Name. Amen
You will have good success this 2020.
Remain blessed. Shalom.
