Lord, even the demons obey us when we use your name! – Luke 10:17 (NLT)
USE THE MOST POWERFUL NAME
A poem and essay by ILMA
Have you encountered challenging situations in your life?
Try using the most powerful name and you will take delight
Even the demons will obey you when you use Jesus’ name
Every knee will bow down to this title of God’s Son.
If you have faith in the omnipotence of Christ
When you declare this name, everything comes to light
God has given this name dominion over everything
As soon as you utter it, you will constantly win.

It is sad to know that some believers do not often use the name of the Lord Jesus to ward off evil, to expose lies or to discern the tactics of the enemy. The bible says in Philippians 2:9-11 this, “Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father.” Wow! Have you ever heard of any other names that can have that power?
Names are very important because it signifies the character and the person himself. Only the name of Jesus has that power to win over sin and evil.

REFLECTION
What happens if you take the name of Jesus in vain?

Father, thank you for hearing me. You always hear me, but I said it out loud for the sake of all these people standing here so they will believe you sent me. – John 11:41-42(NLT)
YOU ALWAYS HEAR ME LORD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you run to the Lord for guidance?
Do you know that he will give you assistance?
No matter what you are going through
He is always there to support you.
Father, thank you for hearing me
I don’t often run to you so I don’t see clearly
You always hear me Lord even when I disobey
Help me to seek you and follow what you say.

When Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, he prayed aloud amongst the witnesses in Lazarus’ tomb. He did this because the people didn’t believe that he can bring to life someone who is already dead. Jesus’ very word before he commanded Lazarus to come out of the tomb were “Father, thank you for hearing me. You always hear me, but I said it out loud for the sake of all these people standing here so they will believe you sent me.”
Jesus prayed aloud so people will believe that he is the one God sent and that he can raise even those who are dead already. Uttering out loud something has power especially if it is a request in the name of God.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for being able to speak my heart.
REFLECTION
Relate an experience when speaking God’s truth and words brought power in your life.

ASK IN JESUS’ NAME Poem Devotional

Ask, using my name, and you will receive, and you will have abundant joy.
– John 16:24 (NLT)
ASK IN JESUS’ NAME
A poem and essay by ILMA
What things do you ask in Jesus’ name?
Are they something you won’t be ashamed?
Ask for wisdom to know his will in your life
This way you will be able to stay in his light.
Ask, using Christ’s name and you will receive
Oftentimes you don’t ask, so He can’t give
God waits for you to request so can grant it
You won’t obtain it if it’s against his will and Spirit.
Do you often question why you don’t have the things you want in life? Do you have an abundance of peace, joy and prosperity? Maybe you don’t have them because you never asked them. The bible says in James 2:4-5 that you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it. Even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong; you want only what will give you pleasure.
I used to expect to have things without asking. I was raised to think that since God knows what I want, I don’t have to ask. The bible clearly tells us that we have to ask in his name so we can receive what we ask for and have abundant joy.
PRAYER
Lord, show me what to ask for.
REFLECTION
Why does God want us to ask in his name?
