1 The Wonderful Name Of Jesus (1/2)

In order to fulfil the practical aspect of the training of the twelve disciples, our Lord Jesus once commissioned them to preach, heal and deliver the captive in HIS NAME.

Mark 6:7, 12-14

And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;

And they went out, and preached that men should repent.

And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.

And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth

His Name, that is, the Name of Jesus was spread abroad as this was the tool used to accomplish their divine commission. The twelve disciples must have been surprised at the tremendous results as they ministered in Jesus Name and with His authority.

The scope of this missionary work was later expanded to include the seventy as recorded in the tenth chapter of Luke. Their divine commission like the first twelve was to preach, heal and deliver.

What an excitement! What an Holy Ghost inspired Joy! The seventy returned with Joy having seen the tangibility of divine power over serpents, scorpions and over all the power of the enemy. All these happened through HIS NAME. What Jesus would have done, HIS NAME did through them.

This wonderful name must have provoked their praise, wors.h.i.+p and love thus fulfilling the scriptures.

Song of Solomon 1:3-4

Because of the savor of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.

Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.

There is a good ointment in that Name. The Virgins love His name because it brings progress. If your life lacks results it will lack attraction. It is a reserved name given to Jesus to bring into subjection in the three worlds everything that hurts.

Every time that Name is mentioned in faith, the anointing that goes with that name is released to remove burden and to destroy demonic yokes. It cannot fail except when you open yourself to disobedience and rebellion in your Christian walk.

Ecclesiastes 10:1

Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savor: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honor.

The twelve disciples must have been very jealous of that Name and their exploits. John, the beloved, must have remembered the word of Jesus which says

”He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad” (Matt.12:30)
