OUR LEGAL AUTHORITY TO USE: Daily Devotional

And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it (John 14:13-14).

When we say that Jesus gave us authority to use His name, many don't understand what that means. The term "power of attorney" refers to a legal power of attorney that gives a specific person authority to act on your behalf. Therefore, it means that every request

you make is as if Jesus were doing it, since you are doing it in His name.

The apostle John said in some of his writings: vividly captures the words of Jesus further clarifying the legal authority of given to us in His name. For example, in John 14:13-14 Jesus said, "And whatever ye ask in my name I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son."

If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.” Here the Lord was speaking of claiming His name. This is extraordinary.

It's like what Paul tells us in Colossians 3:17: “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus…". There is another beautiful reference at John 16:23; says: "And on that day you will not ask me anything.

Verily, I tell you, whatever you ask the Father

on my behalf, he will give you."

When he said: "And on that day …” the Lord was referring to the day of the new deal, the day of salvation, which He came to complete. That day began with His resurrection. So we are in "that day" where we use his name and live in him. If you've ever wondered why we use the

Name of Jesus in prayer all around the world, here's why.

So use His name right now to make changes in your world. He told us we could and you should! Address the affairs of your nation, your physical body, your workplace, your school, etc. in His name and expect a change.

Dear Father, Thank you for giving me the authority to use Use the matchless name of Jesus to effect change and control circumstances.

In the name of Jesus I speak peace among the nations; I declare that the gospel has free rein in the nations of the world. I walk in victory and dominion today and always, for I live and do all things by power in Jesus' name. Amen.

NEVER LOOK DOWN ON YOURSELF: Daily Devotional

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” Genesis 1:27 (KJV) God Most High rejoiced when He created mankind because they are the only creation made in His image. Both male and female are in the image of God, which means we were created in the image of God (Genesis 1:26). God is spirit, so we are spirits in human bodies (John 4:24). God has a will and so do we. He has emotions and he brings them into us. In fact, He has given us a little bit of all His attributes. However, the sin that led to the downfall of mankind brought corruption and decay into our lives, but thanks be to Jesus Christ who has given us authority over sin and death (1 Corinthians 15:57). He has also given us the authority to live victorious on this earth. Dear beloved, whether you are a man or a woman, be happy and thank God for your spirit, soul and body. Never belittle any aspect of yourself. Start praising and thanking God for that part of y...

Being content with what you have - Daily Devotional

Bible Verse: "I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength." - Philippians 4:11-13 As Christians, we are called to live a life of contentment. Contentment is a state of being satisfied with what we have, and not constantly desiring more or better. It is not about settling for less, but rather being grateful for what we have been blessed with, while also working towards our goals. The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Philippians, shares with us the secret of being content in any and every situation. He had experienced both times of abundance and times of great need, yet he remained content. How was he able to do this? By relying on the strength that God provides. As we go through life, we will encounter man...
