JESUS: THE NAME OF JESUS

“Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of Jesus”.

Colossians 3:17

There’s power in the Name of Jesus. Remember that signs and wonders are done through the Name of Jesus (see Acts 4:30). The Name of Jesus  cleansed the lepers, opened the eyes of the blind, and He can do what you need done today. Don’t forget you can get your prayers answered in the Name of Jesus: “If you ask anything in My name, I will do it” (John 14:14).

Jesus, give me discipline to overcome my weaknesses, power to overcome

 opposition and strength to overcome disappointments. Jesus, I claim the

 strength of Your name to rid my life of all evil lusts. By Your name,

deliver me from the Evil One (see Matthew 6:13).

                                                                                                                                                                                                The Name of Jesus can fix broken lives and can heal sickness. A man had never walked, but Jesus’ “name made him strong (see Acts 3:16). The Name of Jesus can dispel evil powers.  A girl was released from a demon when Paul said, “In the name of Jesus Christ come out” (see 16:18). The Name of Jesus can transform your life and ministry. So, do everything today in the Name of Jesus.  Remember, “Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus” (Col. 3:17). What can the Name of Jesus do for you?

Jesus, Your name is sweet; it gives me joy. Jesus, Your name is

comforting; it gives me assurance. Jesus, Your name is

powerful; I claim Your strength to overcome barriers.

Jesus, Your name is awesome; I worship Your name. Amen.”

        Reading: Acts 4:1-12

        Key Thought: The Name of Jesus is powerful.
