THERE IS A NAME

  There is a NAME. I have found IT- Yes, that NAME. It works.....like magic? No, magic is not the word. Magic is a negative word. I am talking of  a positive word. Magic has a limit but what I am talking about is limitless. There is every tendency to lose a key otherwise a key could have described the NAME more appropriately.
       
       Costly, precious, priceless, and yet available to both the poor and the rich. Come and buy yet without money. Silver and gold is not the answer because the entire World Bank cannot purchase the precious ornament. Yet I tell you it is available to whoever wills. I am not kidding! Have you not read the sure words of Isaiah the prophet?

“Ho! Everyone who thirsts,
Come to the waters;
And you who have no money,
Come, buy and eat.
Yes, come, buy wine and milk
Without money and without price.
² Why do you spend money for what is not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And let your soul delight itself in abundance.
³ Incline your ear, and come to Me.
Hear, and your soul shall live;
And I will make an everlasting covenant with you—
The sure mercies of David.(Is. 55:1-3)

   All you need to do is to take a decision that you need what is genuine and precious. That is all you need-decision and decision for what is genuine but precious, costly, priceless and yet can be purchased without money...Yes, there is a NAME. That is what is in that name. Are you willing to make the decision? If God tells you something, will you believe? If you cannot believe what God says, then you need not bother yourself. But if you do, listen to this:

“The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it?
¹⁰ I, the Lord, search the heart,
I test the mind,
Even to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings(Jer 17:9-10)

¹³ And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. ¹⁴ I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.....(Jer 29:13-14)

    Listen now! God has given us a name that opens closed doors permanently-never to shut again, if you hold lightly to that name. I don't care how closed that door is. it is my sincere experience that I am sharing with you. It is not an academic exercise----- A name that opens all closed doors, whether by the devil or by the human being, it does not matter. This is my experience and the experience of a host of witnesses. It shall be your own experience if you care.

   The greatest you need to know is that the NAME opens the doors to eternity. Temporary doors usher you to things that have to do with this world but eternal doors to that of eternity. Yes, that is the greatest this NAME can give you. |come and buy without money--Just your whole hearted decision. God said:

For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
⁷ Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.(Is 9:6-7)

 God was making a sure promise about an extra-ordinary child with an extra-ordinary authority and power that will be made available to us. He eventually sent an angel to a man called Joseph and said of him:

 But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. ²¹ And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.(Matt 1:20-21)

JESUS! is that great name. God says : "Give him the name, Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins" Sin has been a barrier to man from getting anything from God-- a terrible barrier for ages which God cannot compromise with, for he said:

“To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me?”
Says the Lord.
“I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
And the fat of fed cattle.
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
Or of lambs or goats.

¹² “When you come to appear before Me,
Who has required this from your hand,
To trample My courts?
¹³ Bring no more futile sacrifices;
Incense is an abomination to Me.
The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies—
I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.
¹⁴ Your New Moons and your appointed feasts
My soul hates;
They are a trouble to Me,
I am weary of bearing them.
¹⁵ When you spread out your hands,
I will hide My eyes from you;
Even though you make many prayers,
I will not hear.
Your hands are full of blood(Is 1:11-15)

Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened,
That it cannot save;
Nor His ear heavy,
That it cannot hear.
² But your iniquities have separated you from your God;
And your sins have hidden His face from you,
So that He will not hear.(Is 59:1-2)

  This great hindrance --Sin --had been a great problem, a great barrier for us to obtain from God, and now, God Himself has provided a solution in a name--Jesus, "His name shall be called Jesus because, he will save his people from their sins.” But what says the scriptures":

  "He came to that which was his own; but his own did not receive him" (John 1:11)

That is another problem-"His own did not receive him". That name has been given, but the deceitful heart of man has many deceitful arguments that hinder him from accessing the name. There comes the question of individuality and choices. Individuals have the right to choose what they want to do. Your decision for whatever reason matters but God has given a name that can change our eternal and temporary situations. Thank God that the scriptures also records that:

¹² But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: ¹³ who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.(John 1:12-13)

                                                                               

Great! Here comes your decision--to receive or not to receive, to believe or not to believe. Precious, costly, priceless but free. Bill? Only to be obtained by faith at the expense of Him who has paid all with His precious blood--the blood of Jesus. And what says the scripture:

And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. ⁹ Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, ¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, ¹¹ and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.(Phil 2:8-11)

There is a name given, the name of Jesus. It is above every name. When mentioned all knees in heaven and on earth and under the earth bow. Can you imagine that! Why not accept God's testimony now. All you need to do is to receive him and believe in Him. Invite Him now into your life. Ask Him in as you pray this prayer:

"Jesus, You died for my sins to set me free. I am sorry I have been running my own life in sin and ignorance. Please forgive my disobedience, wash my sins away with your precious blood. I open my heart to you in all sincerity. Come in my Lord and savour. Amen.” Period! You are a child of God. Believe that he has come in. Begin now to trust him in every detail of your life.
