Matthew 28:18-20
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

After He conquered death and the grave, the Resurrected Jesus stood before his disciples and shouted, ‘All power in heaven and on Earth is given unto me’. Then He turned over to the disciples and said GO YE THEREFORE IN MY NAME. He passed on all that power and authority unto us legally. How many of us truly understand that we have received the Power of Attorney IN HIS NAME, and actually operate in that power?

Most often than not, we pray in His name without knowing what it means. And frankly, we would be more surprised than anyone else if the thing said ‘in Jesus name’ happens. We take the name for granted. So praying in his name becomes a triviality.

Many a believers are whipped by circumstances. Sicknesses and demoniacal forces have reigned where Christ was supposed to be Lord. And that’s because, we the Agents of Christ who are supposed to act in His stead have lacked understanding and belief in our representation. We will often conclude our prayers with ‘in Jesus name’ but it is just a religious formality – it lacks virility and true conviction. We have become docile and wimpish, when we were supposed to stand tall and be rugged ‘In His name’.

Oooohhhh! What happened to us? What happened? Selah!
