“David said to the Philistine, you come to me with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of Host, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied…” —1 Samuel 17:45 (NKJV)
Over the years, we have been taught the authority in the name of Jesus and the importance of using it in prayers. But do you know that more than that, the name of Jesus is not to be used only in prayers but also in confronting difficult situations in life? The teaching of using the name of Jesus in prayers has somewhat brought a limitation to the benefits we can get from the name of Jesus. Most people now think it is only through prayers that you can get benefits in using the name of Jesus. But guess what there is much more that can be done with the name and in the name of Jesus.
Understand that the name of Jesus was given to us to live a life of dominion and conquer in all things, therefore, you need to take advantage of this by not only using the name alone in prayers but by using the name in all that you do. Way before our Lord Jesus Christ came into the picture, King David had a revelation of this truth, and this was the reason when he confronted Goliath, he said, you come to me with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of Host, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied…” 1 Samuel 17:45 (NKJV). Did you see that? David knew that what the philistine had was just a weapon but he had a name, so he had to go against the Philistine in the name of the Lord and he prevailed. Now, if David could come against the Goliath in the name of the Lord and get the victory, what would happen if you confronted that situation using the name? What will happen to you if you will go to bed in the name of Jesus or go to that job interview in the name? So, I encourage you today, to take advantage of the name of Jesus and do everything in that name. In fact, live your life in the name and you will be amazed at the results you will begin to command.
Today’s Rhema
