THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES

“Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name.”
Philippians 2:9(WEB)
Main Text: Ephesians 1

Jesus has not only being exalted above every being that has a name but He is also highly exalted above anything else that can be named. If you can put a name on it, Jesus is above it. Sickness, poverty, depression, anger — everything bows its knee to the Lordship of Jesus.

Due to Christ humility and obedience to the Father, God gave Him a name that is above every name in heaven, earth and under the earth. There’s no exemption for anyone or anything from coming under the Lordship of Jesus. He is Lord of ALL.

Every being from ages will ultimately bow and worship Jesus. If we bow our knees to His Lordship now, we will enjoy a wonderful life here on earth and an eternity in His blessings hereafter. Those who deny His rightful claim to the Lordship of their lives will suffer for it in this life as well as the life to come. They will still have to bow their knee to His authority so there’s nothing to gain and everything to lose for refusal to make Jesus Lord of their lives.

Confession: Lord Jesus, I ask that the name of Jesus makes way for me and all mine. As I put Jesus first and prioritize God's  Word, He is ahead of me making crooked paths straight. He has already lined up the right people, the right opportunities and solutions to problems not envisaged. No person, no sickness, no disappointment, can stop His plan. What he promises will come to pass.
