Rhapsody Of Realities 6th November 2024 Devotional By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Christ Embassy)
RHAPSODY OF REALITIES WEDNESDAY, 6TH NOVEMER 2024
TOPIC: Our Power Of Attorney To Use The Name
And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all (Acts 3:16).
Rhapsody of Realities 6th November 2024 Message:
When hen we pray today, we don’t pray to Jesus in the Name of Jesus as that would be incorrect because it suggests using His power of attorney towards Himself, which makes no sense. The power of attorney Jesus gave us is to act in His stead, to use His Name as though He were the one speaking
or making a request.
Imagine you have given your lawyer the power of attorney to act on your behalf. This authority isn’t used to address you, but to interact with others on your behalf. Similarly, Jesus has given us His Name to represent Him. So, when we say, “In the Name of Jesus,” it carries the same weight as if Jesus Himself were speaking. This is one of the greatest honours we have as Christians.
During our Healing Streams Live Healing Services, whenI declare, “I bring you healing in the Name of Jesus” it’s not a simple statement; it’s a declaration of His authority and power. It doesn’t matter where the people are in this world or the situation they’re facing; when we use the Name of Jesus, every hindrance is removed, and the power of God is released. His Name is an instrument. Hallelujah!
If you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, for example, you can kill that cancer using the Name of Jesus. Place your hand over that area and say, “In the Name of Jesus, I command the cancer to die and pass out of my body.” If you do it the first time and nothing seems to happen, don’t despair; refuse to be moved.
Remember, “They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy” (Jonah 2:8). You can declare repeatedly that it’s dead until it dematerializes. If you’ve been feeling intense pressure in your head, tell it to loosen up in Jesus’ Name! Perhaps you’re usually attacked by fear, to the point you don’t like being alone in the house at night; it’s time to put an end to it. Even now, address that spirit of fear; say, “In the Name of Jesus, fear, I rebuke you; get out.” Then start declaring, “I refuse to fear; I’m bold in the Name of Jesus!”
Maybe you’ve been job-hunting for a long time now to no avail, you can decide and say, “Today, I’m going out to have the best job I’ve ever had in my life, in the Name of Jesus” and you’l get it. Hallelujah! The power of attorney given to us to use the Name of Jesus is absolute and ineffable. No circumstance, situation, or demon can gainsay, withstand, or refute that power.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the power and authority of the mighty Name of Jesus. I stand in the victory and dominion of that Name against circumstances and the forces of darkness. Satan’s influence and manoeuvres over God’s people are frustrated in the Name of Jesus, and the Church revels in the dominion and triumph of Christ, supremely blessed and favoured, in Jesus’ mighty Name. Amen.
