POWER OF HIS NAME
A poem and essay by ILMA
The heavenly Father gave Jesus his name
When we declare it, it will erase all the shame
The name of Jesus will protect you from evil
It is the only name that brings fear to the devil.
It is amazing how this name can bring victory
It wards off all kind of wickedness and fury
Say the name that is above all names often
it will surely make believers’ heart soften.

Have you ever said someone else’s name and get benefit from saying it? We usually call out the name of someone when we want to call their attention. We may call out someone’s name to identify them just like a teacher calls her student. Have you ever said your child or spouse’s name and gain something by just declaring it? Have you been saved just by uttering the name of any human being?
John tells us that the name of Jesus was actually given to him by the heavenly Father (Matthew 1:23). The name of our Father is significant because it tells us the legacy that will be handed down to us. Just as God has power, so is the name given to his Son, Jesus.
