RESTORATION TODAY
MONDAY 22ND MAY 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP
THEME: THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES.
Wherefore God also hath exalted hi, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth. Philippians 2: 9 - 10.
In Bible times, naming a child was a major event for a Hebrew family. The household took great pains in selecting a name, sometimes choosing one that had personal meaning for the parents.
An eample of this is Leah. She chose to call her fourth child Judah, saying, This time I will praise the Lord (Genesis 29: 35). Occasionally, a perceived or desired personality trait would determine what a baby was called. Genesis 25: 26 shows this to be the case with Jacob (one who supplants). Mary and Joseph had a far different experience from that of other Jewish parents. Instead of choosing the name themselves, an angel told them what their child would be called (Matthew 1: 21).
The heavenly Father selected His Son's earthly name to represent His purpose in coming. A day will come when the very mention of Jesus will cause every knee to bow and every tongue to confess that He is Lord (Philippians 2: 10). The Hebrew form of Jesus means Salvation or He saves. Christ is called many things throughout Scripture: Lord, Immanuel, Teacher, Messiah, etc. But His given name tells His story.
He came to save the world from sin. No wonder God gave Him a name above all names!
ACTION POINTS:
The name of Jesus is powerful to save.
SCRIPTURE:
Philippians 2: 5 - 11.
PRAYER PONTS:
1. In the name of Jesus, Restoration is mine today.
2. In the name of Jesus, sickness is not my portion.
3. In the name of Jesus, Healing is mine.
4. In the name of Jesus, I shall live and not die.
DAILY BIBLE READING:
Number 35: 9 | 36: 13
Proverbs 31
Luke 5: 17 - 39.
