A wealthy-prominent man had a large empire. He controlled a lot of power in high places of authority and his name any where mentioned, was highly respected. Thus, his son knew exactly how to take advantage of his father’s name; always bragging ‘I am the son of the most prominent man in the world and I come in his name!’ This paid well for him because each time he mentioned his father’s name at the quarters of power, all of his demands were granted in a hurry. His father’s name was his legal right!
Can you imagine this? If a mere man’s name possessed so much influence, authority and power, have you ever thought of the efficacy in the name of Jesus? The scripture says in 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”; every thing responds quickly to the name of Jesus.
“Jesus has given us the legal right to use His Name” Pastor Chris declared in today’s devotional. Therefore, like the child of the maker of the universe whom you are, always use the name of Jesus; go in his name!

YOU ARE AN KIND OF A PREACHER THAT IGNITS THE INEFFECTIVE POWER THAT REST WITHIN US.
THANK SOOOOO MUCH PASTOR CHRIS
There is a sound Biblical basis for the idea of approaching God through his son Jesus Christ. Especially when we want to ask God's support when we are faced with things that we find difficult.
We should bear in mind that Jesus lived on the same earth that we live on and that for some 33 years he was a human just like us. Jesus experienced the same hardships, fears, difficulties that we meet in our daily lives. Jesus knows what we are talking about when we pray to God for wisdom and strength.
And having lived as a human himself Jesus can strengthen the power of our prayers when we turn to his father for support and spiritual help.
