The Name Above Every Name
Philippians 2:9–10
9Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth.
Imagine someone giving you a cheque for a huge sum of money. It has his signature and name on it. But whether you can cash the cheque or not really depends on who this person is. If he happens to be a bankrupt, his name carries no weight, and you can forget about the money!
Now, when it comes to the name of Jesus, praise God you can bank on His name every time! There is limitless power in His name because it is “above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth”.
Every name is subject to the name of Jesus. Is cancer a name? Is poverty a name? Is terrorism a name? Then every one of these names must bow to the name of Jesus!
A pregnant church member and her husband were on their way to church when their taxi skidded. As the taxi swerved, she called out the name of Jesus. The taxi suddenly halted in the middle of the road. And although there were cars coming towards them in lanes on both sides, not one of them hit their taxi. Everyone emerged unscathed from the incident, including the baby in her womb.
In another incident, my uncle was driving along a mountainous road in Malaysia with some elderly ladies when his car skidded at a turn. As the car went flying off the cliff, the ladies in the car shouted the name of Jesus. At that moment, the car stopped in mid-air, went down slowly and landed softly as if it had settled on a bed of feathers! I really believe angels were involved. They responded to the one name that heaven loves and responds to — the name of Jesus.
Beloved, call on the name of Jesus in your moment of need. And you will see that everything that has a name has to bow to His name!
