“Something” About the Name Jesus!
Philippians 2:9-10 (New Living Translation)
9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
One day last week Jai said “Bless You” to someone she had heard sneeze. After the “Thank You” came, I told Jai that it’s “God Bless You”. It’s so amazing to me that the worse off the world gets, the more the world is trying to put God on the back burner. They’ve taken Him out of the schools and now we hear of shootings left and right. Some wanted to remove “In God We Trust” from our currency, and right now the dollar isn’t worth much. We went from Christmas to Xmas and from Happy HOLIdays to Seasons Greetings.
I can only imagine how angry this must make God. But then we as professed Christians do the same thing. We bless a stranger, pray for a co-worker, get healed from a disease, or delivered from a stronghold and we are not bold enough to say, “God did it”, “the Holy Spirit spoke to me”, or “Jesus healed my body”. Instead we say, “something made me do it”, “I just had a feeling they needed a blessing”, or “the doctors say it must have been a mistake on the first test”. As much as God has done for us, why are we so afraid of what the world will think of us for praising Him. Why are we more concerned with sounding crazy, then going crazy if God didn’t keep us in our right mind.
It’s one thing when your enemies come against you, but it’s a new level of hurt when its your own flesh and blood. No nail hurt Jesus more than being disowned or embarrassed by the very people He took the nail for. The Bible says that at the name of JESUS every knee shall bow and tongue confess, not at the name of “something”.
Today let us speak up and speak out so the world knows the true power of our living God. Let us not operate in a spirit of condemnation by the thoughts or opinions of others. Declare that God is God and Jesus is Lord, before He leaves it up to “something” to bless you, keep you, love you, and save you.
