THE AUTHORITY OF GOD


Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,

Philippians 2:9‭-‬10 NKJV

What God put in the name of Jesus is the authority of God. Our theme verse shows us a solemn decree by God that confirms this. Therefore God has highly exalted Christ Jesus, and has given Him a name which is above every other name. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow. 


This wasn't a statement contemplating, ...well, every knee is supposed to bow at the name of Jesus. No. That we a decree, an instruction of the Father of lights, God who is king, declared that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow.


It's His authority in place. When any knee, force, spirit, principality, situation, circumstance encounters the name of Jesus, what they encounter is the authority of God. That's why they have to bow. Because it is God's authority at work.


And His authority is backed by His power, the Holy Spirit. This power is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we could ever think or imagine. This power backs the authority that is vested in the name of Jesus. And so as you live in His name, it's not about you, but about His authority and His power at work through His name. Glory to God.


Affirmation: I believe in the name of Jesus Christ. I live in the name of Jesus Christ. When I use the name of Jesus Christ, it's not about me, but about God and His authority, and His power at work through His name. Glory to God!
