TOPIC: THE NAME OF JESUS
Text: Psalms 20:1-9
The name that a person bears reveals his identity, personality, and ability . As a songwriter composed:
“The Name of Jesus is greater and higher than all names.
It is not an ordinary Name — it is the Name full of power and praise.”
Beyond merely knowing the wonderful Names of Jesus, there is great power in calling the right Name at the right time. As the Scripture declares:
“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” — Acts 2:21
HIS NAME IS WONDERFUL
One of His Names is Wonderful (Isaiah 9:6), and truly His Names are full of wonders. To experience wonders in prayer, we must engage His Names genuinely and appropriately. For instance, when you call upon Jehovah Rapha , He reveals Himself as the Healer, and you shall be healed.
SIGNIFICANCE OF HIS NAMES
The Names of Jesus carry divine power and meaning. Below are a few of their significance:
Salvation – Matthew 1:21
“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.”
Protection – Proverbs 18:10
“The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.”
Defence – Psalms 20:1
“The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee.”
Answered Prayer – John 14:13
“And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.”
Victory and Deliverance from the forces of darkness – Philippians 2:10
“That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth.”
DON’T CALL HIS NAME IN VAIN
Whenever you call or engage the Name of Jesus, heaven and its hosts stand at attention. A question is raised in the heavens:
“What does he or she want?”
Therefore, call His Name intentionally, reverently, and purposefully. Never call His Name carelessly or vainly, for it is holy, powerful, and mighty to save.
CONCLUSION
The Name of Jesus is not a charm or a mere religious chant; it is the embodiment of divine authority, salvation, and victory. Every believer must learn to honour and invoke His Name with faith, confidence, and understanding.
When you call upon the Name of Jesus in truth, you invoke heaven’s power, and every opposition must bow. Let us therefore trust, proclaim, and live daily in the power of His Name.
