May the Lord answer you
when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. May he send you help
from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion. May he remember all your
sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings. May he give you the desire of your
heart and make all your plans succeed. May we shout for joy over your victory and
lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the Lord grant all
your requests. Now this I know: The Lord gives victory to his anointed. He
answers him from his heavenly sanctuary with the victorious power of his right
hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the
name of the Lord our God. They are brought to their knees and fall, but we
rise up and stand firm. Lord, give victory to the king! Answer us when we call! Psalm 20 verses
1 to 7.
The power of the name of Jesus Christ is great, in
point of fact so great that the religious leaders of the day forbade the
Apostles from ‘speaking to anyone or teaching anyone in the name of Jesus
Christ’. Please see Acts Chapter 4 verse 1 to 31, 5 verses 27 to 42.
The name of the Lord is a strong tower where the
righteous can actually run into and be safe. This implies that the name of the
Lord is a strong and safe fortress, a refuge and a hiding place from trouble
and all the evil darts of the enemy. Please see Proverbs Chapter 18 verse 10
and Psalm 31 verses 1 to 3.
The power of the name of Jesus Christ is great
because God gave Him the name which is above every other name so that at the
mention of the name of Jesus, every knee bows; whether they are knees in
heaven, on earth and those under the earth.
Secondly, every tongue confesses that Jesus Christ
is Lord at the mention of the name of Jesus Christ, to the glory of God the
Father.
The name of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit
bring healing, deliverance and miracles. Please see Acts Chapter 3 verses 6,
16; Mark Chapter 16 verses 16 to 20. David came up against Goliath in the name
of the Lord and loud mouthed Goliath was destroyed alongside the fear he spouted
which immobilized the army of God. Please see 1st Samuel Chapter 17
verses 32 to 54.
The name of the Lord brings salvation. Please see
Acts Chapter 4 verse 12, Luke Chapter 24 verses 46 to 47.
The name of the Lord Jesus Christ guarantees
unfettered access to God to request for and receive anything from God, in point
of fact, Jesus Christ instructed believers to request for anything from God in
His name, the miracle working name. Please see John Chapters 16 verses 23 to
26, 14 verses 13 to 14.
The name of the Lord is a defense. Please see Psalm
20 verses 1 to 7.
The name of the Lord brings numerous blessings to
His children. Please see Numbers Chapter 6 verses 23 to 27. The priests of God
were instructed to bless the people of God in the name of the Lord. Also read John
Chapter 17 verses 1 to 11.
Dos and Don’ts of the Name of God
The name of God should be hallowed. Please see
Matthew Chapter 6 verse 9, Luke Chapter 11 verse 2.
The name of God should be declared in all the earth.
Please see Exodus Chapter 9 verse 16.
The name of the Lord should not be taken in vain by
anyone. Please see Exodus Chapter 20 verse 7. That is, the name of God should
not be misused.
The name of God should not be profaned. Please see
Ezekiel Chapter 20 verses 14 and 22.
