[Devotional] IN HIS PRESENCE: At the name of Jesus

Read: Philippians 2:5-11

Meditation verse:

“That at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of  those on earth, and of those under the earth” (Philippians 2:10).

When my last child began to walk just before she turned a year old, we noticed  that her legs were curved inwards. Now, I understood that medically, there was  nothing wrong with having bowlegs; I had in fact seen a few children who grew  up that way and became beautiful adults with bow shaped legs. But I did not  want that for my child. So, each morning, after giving her a bath, I would  massage both legs with oil, hold them together in a straight position and say,  “be straight in Jesus’ name”. I continued doing this for a while and today, she is  sixteen years old and both legs are straight. I could have accepted what I saw  and not tried to do anything about it. And today, both legs would be curved  inwards. 

Philippians 2:9-11 says “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given  Him the name, which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee  should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the  earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory  of God the Father. There is power in name of Jesus and as a child of God, you  are permitted to use the name. In the name of Jesus, you can overturn and  overcome the negative trends that have taken root in your life. In the name of  Jesus, you can redirect whatever missiles the devil is sending your way. Refuse  to accept what does not align with your expectations as a child of God, no matter  how insignificant it may seem. In the name of Jesus, you have the power to stop  evil and permit good.  

The song writer says “The name, the name of Jesus, is greater and higher than  all names. It is not an ordinary name, It’s a name that’s full of power and praise”.  What is that great mountain before you today? Why not say to it, “be levelled  in the name of Jesus”. Keep declaring, even when it seems like nothing is  changing. In the fullness of time, the results will become visible for all to see.
