OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL. TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 29 2015.
THEME : ONLY HIS NAME.
MEMORISE : 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 : 10.
READ : PHILIPPIANS 2 : 9 – 11.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is
above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and
things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory
of God the Father.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR : LEVITICUS 19 : 19 – 20 : 27 AND 1 CORINTHIANS 12 : 12 –
31.
MESSAGE
The desire and plan of God is for all His children to be deliverance ministers
( Mark 16 : 17 ). He wants us to exercise His dominion on earth, so that if
demons are obstructing the lives, destinies and progress of anybody, when
they meet anyone of us, they would be freed. However, only very few believers
are actively doing this. Any believer who wants to walk in the reality of the
plan of God concerning casting out demons must have the knowledge of some
basic truths. First and foremost, they must have an intimate knowledge of the
Great Deliverer – the Lord Jesus Christ. The closer you move to Jesus and know
Him, the more grace you will derive from Him to cast out devils, heal the sick,
raise the dead, and more. ( Daniel 11 : 32 ).
What are the things you need to know about Jesus? You need to know the
power in His Name. Our Bible reading teaches that Jesus Christ has a Name to
which everything and everyone must bow. Some ministers have fallen into
error because they have gained so much popularity and have tasted the
anointing of the Holy Ghost. Because they have been used of God several times
to perform miracles, they are now close to casting out devils in their own
names! We are told to command demons to go in the Name of Jesus and not by
any other name. If you ever use your name, you will get into trouble with God
and with demons. If you are now using your name to cast out demons, you are
becoming another Jesus and preaching another gospel. Know that this act
carries a curse ( Galatians 1 : 9 ). Even Paul, with all his anointing and
experiences of the supernatural, continued to cast out demons in the Name of
Jesus Christ ( Acts 16 : 16 – 18 ). A man attended a program one day and
instead of being delivered, his problem was compounded. He was loaded with
demons, so much so that he could not stand, sit or walk: he just lay down.
When he was brought to us, I commanded him to kneel for prayers, but he said
he could not. I commanded him again, and he asked me, “In whose name?” I said
“In the Name of Jesus.” He answered, “Oh, that one is different”, and he
complied. After prayers, I said to him “Stand up and go home.” But he replied
that he could not stand. So I commanded him again to obey. He then asked “In
whose name?” I replied “In the Name of Jesus.” He said again, “That one is
different”, and he stood up. Then I commanded him to go home, take his bath
and be normal again. Once again he asked “In whose name?” I said “In the Name
of Jesus.” He answered once more “That one is different”, and he obeyed.
Praise God for the power in the Name of Jesus!
KEY POINT :
Some ministers are gradually moving the shine away from Jesus to themselves,
thereby treading on very dangerous grounds. Be warned!
