HIS NAME REIGNS SUPREME
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).
The authority of the Name of Jesus is unparalleled. If He were an ordinary man, His name would have no power. But there’s power in His Name. The book of Acts shows us how the disciples used His Name to cast out demons, heal the sick, and perform miracles. His Name is not just a title; it carries authority and power.
In Acts 3, Luke tells us about the miraculous healing of a certain man who was crippled from birth and laid at the gate of the temple called Beautiful. The miracle attracted the attention of a large crowd, and Peter, seizing the moment, addressed the crowd, explaining the source of the healing to be the Name of Jesus.
He said, “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). He emphasized that it was through faith in the Name of Jesus that the man was made strong and restored to health.
The authority and power in the Name of Jesus demonstrate His deity. His Name carries the fullness of His power, His life, and His authority. No wonder the Bible tells us, “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth” (Philippians 2:9-10).
His Name reigns supreme over all things. Use it to cast out devils, heal the sick, and walk in perpetual victory. Live in the fullness of His power and authority today through the dominion and majesty of His Name. Amen.
PRAYER: Dear Father, I thank you for the authority vested in the Name of Jesus. That wonderful Name reigns supreme over all things, and through faith in His Name, I cast out devils, heal the sick, and walk in perpetual victory. I live in the fullness of His power and authority today. Thank you Lord, for the power and majesty of the Name of Jesus. Amen.
