No Greater Name • Philippians 2:9-10

Mention the name of Jesus in a public setting and the responses are “intolerant, politically incorrect, prejudice, and hypocrite”. It sets non-believers on edge. The name of Jesus gets no praise, honor or glory in today’s society. Jesus is Lord of lords, God of gods and King of kings. Read Psalm 136, Revelation 19:16. God has exalted Jesus and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow (Philippians 2:9-10). Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).

HIS Power • Zechariah 4:6

“Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit," says the LORD of hosts (Zechariah 4:6). When situations come our way, we usually rely on our own strength to deal with them, even though we in our own flesh fail a majority of the time. The sad thing is that we have the Creator of everything in existence on our side yet we tell Him to sit on the side lines while we mess things up. We have a perfect Dad that wants to give us the desires of our heart, we just need to let Him do it.

Interview of a Lifetime • John 19

In John 19, as Pontius Pilate privately interviewed Jesus before the crucifixion, the impression is that Pilate’s general attitude was one of diffidence and apathy. He didn’t want to make a decision about Jesus and he thought that he didn’t have to. Pilate tried to ignore the fact that Jesus really was the king He said He was. It was actually Pilate’s life and eternity that were on trial. One day as Pilate stands before the judgment seat of Christ, he will have to give his own defense. When it comes to Jesus, we all have a decision to make that we cannot ignore.

Most Wanted • Romans 8:1-4

A résumé describes your qualifications, strengths, and accomplishments. It’s an important part of the job-hiring process for the employer to choose you as a candidate. God doesn’t require a résumé. No background check needed. God chooses you to be on His team despite your shortcomings to shame the wise and mighty. 1 Corinthians 1:26-28. You are valuable to God. You are on His “most wanted” list. Therefore, as you receive and believe in Jesus, you instantly become children of God. John 1:12. You are a chosen people, royal priesthood, holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him (1 Peter 2:9-10).

Pray For Each Other • Ephesians 1:15-23

In Ephesians 1:3, Paul’s prayer for the believers is overflowing with God’s love and blessing. His prayer is completely selfless and not materialistic; as mine so often are. Paul’s focus is on knowing our Lord Jesus more. Prayer is not just mumbling vain repetitions nor should it be seen as a task. I have so much to learn about prayer. This starts by getting to know Jesus better, as seen through Paul’s example. As much as I would strive for an abundant prayer life, I know that this is only the result of an abundant relationship with Christ Himself. Let’s read Ephesians 1:15-23 and make it our prayer for each other this week.

“Small” Sins • John 10:10

The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy (John 10:10a). Jesus Christ gives to us what the devil’s precise game plan is in our lives. He is only out to steal the gifts God has given or wants to give to us. He wants to kill any trace of the Holy Spirit that resides inside of us, and he wants to utterly destroy us. There’s no such thing as a small sin, any and every form of compromise has one objective in your life, and that is to completely devastate you and whomever you call family.
