Philippians 2:10-12 ‘That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

David O. Oyedepo is the founder and presiding Bishop of Faith Tabernacle and Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners’ Chapel International.
He is a man of God known for his outstanding faith.
In his book ‘Operating in the Supernatural’, he shared the story of how armed robbers came to attack him in a town where he went for a crusade.
During this crusade held in 1990, Oyedepo was asleep in his hotel room one night when he was suddenly awakened by strange noises. He came out of the bedroom to the sitting room and saw that three hefty men carrying guns had invaded his hotel room. As he stood there in his pajamas, they surrounded him and he was right in the middle of them. Yet even in what looked like a tight situation, his heart remained strong and he was unmoved. Though awakened from sleep to face battle, he was prepared and empowered because of a lifestyle of deep spirituality.
When the armed robbers asked him to raise his hands, at that moment an unusual boldness arose within him. With his hands on his waist, he looked at them right in the face and cried out, “In the Name of Jesus!”.
As he shouted, a powerful force sent the men falling backward, as though a wind pushed them down. They began to scream in confusion, “He has a gun! He has a gun!”. With great panic they took to their heels and ran out of the hotel room.
Interestingly, Oyedepo had no physical weapon with him. He only had the powerful spiritual weapon of the Name of Jesus, which was superior to the weapon of guns.

Indeed the Name of the LORD is a strong tower that the righteous run into, and is safe.- [Proverbs 18:10].
The Name of Jesus means Saviour, not just from sin alone, but also from the harassments of the enemy.
There is an anointing that is in that Name. When it is invoked in faith, authority is established and every gang-up of the enemy is scattered.
The Name of Jesus is above every other name. At the mention of it, every knee must bow and every tongue must confess that Jesus is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
However, for the Name to work for you, there must be a confidence in you that is rooted in righteousness. The Bible says the righteous are as bold as the lion.
And this boldness comes from the faith imparted into our hearts from the study of God’s Word and maintaining a spiritually fervent lifestyle.
The more we receive the Word into our heart, the more we receive the power to be and act as the sons of God.
God is the mighty Man in battle, He is the warrior King and Lion of the tribe of Judah. His lionic nature in us will cause us to roar boldly against any confrontation.
As we engage the Name of Jesus, every trouble that has a name, will always submit to the Name that is above every other name.
The Name of Jesus is strong and mighty in battle. Through His Name, our dominion, deliverance and victory will always be guaranteed.
No matter what may be trying to confront you today, you have what it takes to dominate that situation. As long as your heart is constantly filled with the Word, faith will arise in you to overcome every confrontation.
As you roar the Name of Jesus against that challenge, surely it will bow. God will be glorified and your enemies will be terrified.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank you for greatly anointing me to overcome every battle. By the power in the Name of Jesus l certainly have the dominion over every challenge and confrontation that comes my way in Jesus Name. .
