The Name of Jesus is the Answer to Our Needs

Text: Acts 3:4-6,12,16, Collosians 3:17
Many believers are seeking for power to live a holy life and power to serve God, to work miracles , signs and wonders.
However in our text, Apostle Peter in Acts 3:12 was explaining the secret behind the miracle of healing the lame at the gate called Beautiful. He said the power that healed the lame did not come from him or was due to his holiness: but rather due to his faith in the Name of Jesus. In Acts 3:6, Peter said I do not have silver and gold, but such as I have give I thee ; and all that I have including but not limited to power to heal is loaded in the Name of Jesus.The Name of Jesus which Peter possessed did the miracle, not Peter; because Peter placed his faith in the name of Jesus(that is trust and unwavering confidence in the authority and power loaded in the name of Jesus).
Until the believer understands his relationship with the Name of Jesus, He cannot operate in victory. For example, the scriptures tell us in 2 Timothy 2:19 " they that name the name of Lord must depart from iniquity". The Bible also tells us in 1 Corinthians 6:11 " that ye are washed, ye are sanctified and ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.The Bible also says in James 5:14 that as the elders of the Church anoint the sick with oil in the name of the Lord, the prayer of faith shall save the sick and the Spirit of God will raise him up and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.We see the name of Jesus has the combo action of forgiving sins, washing, sanctifying, justifying and also performing the miracle of healing. God says in Genesis 15:1, He is our shield and our exceeding great reward.So Jesus is our exceeding great reward and our shield.Therefore the believer has the right and priviledge to use the Name of Jesus because:
1.The Name belongs to the family of God and the birthright of believers.
2.The believer is baptized into the Name of Jesus
3.The believer has the Power of Attorney to use the Name from Our Lord Jesus Christ
4.The believer is commissioned to herald the Name of Jesus to the world
Our help (mercy and grace) is in the Name of Jesus(Psalm 124:8). The mercy from the Name of Jesus ensures that we do not receive the purnishment we deserve for the wrong we have done; and grace ensures that we receive benefits and favor that we do not deserve, all because of what Jesus hath done for us on The Cross.
There are wonders in the Name of Jesus. Begin right now to enjoy the blessings and provisions in the Name of Jesus. God bless you.
