_In today’s world, people would judge the quality of a product and use it on the strength of its brand’s name. Our God has his own “brand name” as it were. It’s the name of Jesus!_

 

_The name of Jesus has been given to us (Acts 4:12). Therefore learning to live in and function by the power of that name is what guarantees the upward and forward life. In Philippians 2:10, we are assured of the efficacy of the power in the name of Jesus: “ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of the father.”_

 

_The bible chronicles testimonies of healings and miracles done through the apostles, as they exercised the power of attorney to use the name of Jesus. “They came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirit: and they were healed every one_ ” (Acts 5:15).

 

Every other name has its limitations, weaknesses and restraints, but Jesus, “ _having become so much better than the angels… has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they”_ ( Hebrews 1:4 nkjv). The name “Jesus” has been proven to be a fortifying wall of protection, which can be trusted and depended upon. _His name is a strong tower, the righteous run into it and is safe_ (proverbs 18:10)
