The Believer’s Authority in the Name of Jesus (Part 2)

Welcome to NECF sermons. Each message here is

designed to uplift and strengthen you in your

walk with God. Don't miss out. Stay with us until

the end for a rewarding experience. Let's dive

right in. Hallelujah. Praise God. So we'll just

quickly continue like I said. that we're just

having an introduction. We'll finish the introduction

today. And when next we meet, we'll talk more

on the name of Jesus, right? Yes, so prior to

now, there's nothing called the name of Jesus

prior to the coming of Christ, right? There was

nothing called the name of Jesus. There was nothing

in the name. Prophet Elijah will not say, I call

down rain in the name of who? In the name of

Jesus. Hallelujah. Yeah, so Moses will not part

the sea in the name of what? Jesus said, this

rod that I carry, I strike the sea in the name

of, oh ye red sea, hear the voice of God and

in the name of Jesus, you will divide. Bah, no.

Amen. Prior to now, Jeremiah will not come and

say, in the name of Jesus, I prophesy. No. Jonah

will not be called to send an assignment to Nineveh

to preach the gospel and then in the name of

Jesus. There was nothing called in the what?

In the name of Jesus. All we see, all we hear,

all we read are all prophecies that have been

spoken about who? About Christ. Hallelujah. So

what do we see? Let me put it this way. All that

we see from the Old Testament that have been

prophesied, right? Or let me put it this way

carefully. All that we see in the Old Testament

are prophetic words about the name of who? The

name of Jesus. Amen? Do you understand what I

just said now? All that we read or all that has

been said, all the prophecies in the Old Testament

are about the name of who? The name of Jesus.

In the Old Testament, you won't see in my name.

Hallelujah. Are we all here? So in the Old Testament,

you won't see what? You won't see anybody, you

know, doing anything in the name of who? In the

name of Jesus. But all we see are prophecies.

That's what we read on Sunday in Luke, right?

Yeah, ought not Christ to have suffered and to

enter into his what? Glory. So all that the prophets

have prophesied concerning who? Concerning me.

Praise God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Yeah, so

why are we seen in the name? We are seeing in

the name now, in the New Testament, right? I'm

using this separation carefully now. In the New

Testament, because now, that which has been prophesied

has been what? Has been fulfilled. Amen? That

which has been prophesied from the Old Testament,

now by the prophets, has been what? Fulfilled.

Praise God. And now, those things that the prophets

have spoken, right? Just part of them. What we

see that we say in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John,

the fulfillment more had to do with the incarnation

of Christ. Amen? But now the authority in the

name of Jesus, right? The fulfillment now is

when? After the resurrection. Praise God. So

the authority, let me use the word, the legal

authority giving for the name of Jesus to be

in function on the earth, right? Started after

what? After the resurrection of Christ Jesus.

Hallelujah. Glory to Jesus. Hallelujah. Yes.

So, we need to put this so that in the Old Testament,

all we see is what? Prophecies. Hallelujah. Matthew,

Mark, Luke, eyewitness account about what? Jesus

is humanity, right? And it's the work of ministry.

So, we see just a part of the prophecies that

have been spoken. Right now in fulfillment because

Jesus has been born. Amen. And then we see the

work of his ministry on the earth. Praise God.

But is that actually where the name of Jesus

is? No. Praise God. But now we see now from the

prophecy, little has been prophesied. Now we

see his suffering because the prophecy is specific.

Ought not Christ to have what? Suffered, right?

He will die. He will be buried. And the third

day he will be what? So you see there is emphasis.

on that which Christ is making regarding what

ought to be fulfilled. So that remission and

repentance, right, of sins can be preached to

how many nations? All nations. And that now we

see it happening after what? The resurrection.

Hallelujah. So Elijah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Moses,

all of them never used the name of Jesus. All

of them prophesied about what? The name of Jesus.

Hallelujah. Glory to God. Glory to God. So question

which we'll address later, does it mean that

now when they, all the mighty power they commanded,

all the things they did, they were doing it in

whose name? In whose authority? Who gave them

that authority to do it? Hallelujah. Now that

is a big question somebody will have. Amen? Because

if you are saying that, we are the ones now,

we should preach in the name. We should cast

out devil. So those guys, what were they using?

Hallelujah. Praise God. And we said Elijah prayed

in James chapter 5. Elijah prayed fervently.

James 5 · chapter mention

A man like us, right? There will not be rain.

And rain ceased. And he prayed again. Rain came.

Oh, what such a power. Do you know when you do

that in this season? You meet our president,

President Erhuman. Right? And you just say, at

my words. This season, there will not be summer

again. For the next three months. And then, rain

starts. At the end of the summer, the three months,

you say, add my words. Let the rain stop. What

do you think will happen in this country? No,

no, let's just start. What do you think will

happen? Victory. I will use you because you are

revolutionaries. So let's assume that happened

to you. What do you think will happen in this

country? Okay, all attention will be on him,

yes? They will give him... They will believe

what you believe, okay? Yes, now don't be shy.

Now don't be shy. Doctor, what do you think will

happen? Nothing will happen. Okay. That's good.

Yes, what do you think will happen? Okay, they

will protect you to see how reliable you are.

Okay? Hallelujah. But do you know there will

be chaos in this island? Especially you will

be picked and kept somewhere for observation.

How is it possible? That you had all boldness

to walk to the presidency, say there will not

be this, and it happened, and then yet you come.

Is that not power? No, now, talk to me now. Is

that not power? It's power. I'm saying it now

because I said something that somebody will ask.

If Elijah could use this, you know, demonstrate

this mighty power, and yet not in the name, then

on whose authority was he what? Was he doing

that? It's a big question you're supposed to

ask. Hallelujah. So when we come fully, now we'll

talk why that happened. Hallelujah. Good. So,

that's one part. Second part now is, we said

the name Onoma or the meaning of Onoma is what?

No, now let's look at our notes. Okay, open book

exams. Let's look at our notes. Yes, open book

exams. Onoma. Eh? No, don't go the other, first

Onoma. It's Pastor Ema here. Let's just close

this service. Onoma. Onoma. Did you write anything?

Okay, yes. Okay, what is Onoma? Eh? Proper names,

right? First, right? Eh, it is yes now. Koston.

Peter. Chokobleke. Uzaya. Proper names. Praise

God. But now we now say figuratively, it will

mean what? Office, authority, function, ability,

position, yes? Character. So do you think if

we are saying in the name of Jesus, are we dealing

with proper names or we are talking about figurative,

function, office, character, ability? What do

you think we'll be discussing? So why do you

think we'll not talk about his office function?

Why do you think that we should be talking about

his name, Jesus? Proper name. Why do you think

we should just focus on proper name? All, sir.

Both either in English or Greek or... Why do

you think if we should focus, why do you want

to focus on function of his rather than propane?

Because he's not what? Huh? I don't know. We'll

collect the money. You know, a man of God wants

to be the cashier. Praise God. Because it's not

only Jesus. Because when we check Jesus meets

Joshua, prior to now, we had Joshua's on the

land. Praise God. Yes, we had Joshua's on the

land. From the Old Testament, were there not

Joshua's? We had Joshua's. There were people

with the name Jesus. Even today, my brother's

name is Jesus. Praise God. But is he walking

on water? Is he dying and suffering and entering

into glory? Praise God. In fact, during Jesus'

time, there were people who were named what?

Jesus. Praise God. Even after Jesus' time in

Acts of the Apostles, there were people who were

named what? Jesus. So it means that there is

more that we are looking at than just what? Proper

name. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

To just specify that he came from Nazareth. It's

not the naming we learned, right? Both in the

cell meeting, even in the church here. It's not

the naming. There is more the believer needs

to know about what the name of Jesus is. Because

that's where authority is. The prayers we just

had today about the boldness that will come upon

us. In fact, we are going to read that place.

It's part of the scriptures we are going to read.

He said that, you know, he said, Grant unto thy

servant, what? Boldness. Acts chapter 4. Right?

Acts 4 · chapter mention

That by the name of thy holy child, Jesus, thy

healing be what? Be done. Hallelujah. So the

gospel will be preached and healings will take

place by the name of what? But you see, when

the apostles were talking about by the name of

that holy child Jesus, they were not talking

about the name. Praise God. They had a proper

understanding of what? Of what they were praying

or what they were saying. So if they were in

our midst today, right? And we say the name of

Jesus, they will not take it as proper name of

Jesus. Praise God. Do you know why? Pastor Fred

taught us. Because in Acts chapter 1, those 30

Acts 1 · chapter mention

days that he took to teach them, those were the

things that they learned from it. So they will

not be just saying that in the name of Jesus

as proper name. No. Because already now they

know that Jesus has already brought to their

understanding, right? That it behoved that he

be suffered to die and be raised the third day,

right? And from that, now the result of all those

events is that in my name. So if they were praying

or if they, in Acts chapter 4, they are praying

Acts 4 · chapter mention

that by the name of the Holy Child, Jesus. In

fact, let's read it this way so that you understand.

Acts chapter 4, verse 24, everybody. And when

Acts 4:24

they heard that, they lifted up their voice to

God with one accord and said, Lord, thou art

God, which has made heaven and the earth and

the sea. Did they say that they were against

them? Did they say they were against them? See

what they said. Against who and who? That the

priests and all the rulers are against who? Against

the Lord, right? They were against Jesus Christ.

Praise God. Good. Perfect. So which means the

believer, right, on the earth, his assignment

and function is not for him. Praise God. 2 Corinthians

2 Corinthians 5 · chapter mention

chapter 5 says that we are ambassadors for who?

For Christ. Amen. Good. So now, see now, 26.

The kings of the earth stood and then the rulers

were gathered together against the Lord and against

his Christ. 27. See. For a truth against thy

holy, what? Child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed,

both Herod and Pontius Pilate with the Gentiles

and the people of Israel were gathered, what?

Who are they gathered against? Against Jesus.

Hallelujah. Does this look like Mark chapter

Mark 16 · chapter mention

16 and then Luke chapter 24? Let's go to Luke

Luke 24 · chapter mention

chapter. So put your hands in that Acts chapter

Acts 4 · chapter mention

4 that we read and then put that verse 29, right?

Heal and signs and wonders may be done by the

name of what? Thy holy child, what? Jesus. So

underline that word by the name of thy holy child,

Jesus. Right? Good. We know the name of Jesus.

His proper name is what? Jesus. Right? Good.

Let's go to Luke chapter 24, everybody. Verse

Luke 24 · chapter mention

47. And that repentance and remission of sins

shall be preached in what? In his name among

what? All nations beginning at? To 46, everybody,

46. And said unto them, Thus it is written, Thus

and thus it behoved Christ to suffer and to rise

from the dead, the what? What was written? Let's

go up to 44. And he said unto them, These are

the words which I speak unto you while I was

yet with you, that all things must be what? Fulfilled.

Right? Which were written in the law of Moses

and in the prophets and in the Psalms and what

concerning who? So what were the things written

now? 45. Then opened he their understanding that

they might understand the what? The scriptures.

Amen? Good. So 46. What were the things that

were written? He said, thus it is written. And

thus it behooved Christ to suffer and to rise

from the dead, the what? So here was written

by Moses. What was written by Moses? Christ will

suffer, yes? Good. And then from there, now 47,

let's read all together. And that repentance

and remission of sins shall be what? In his name

to what? To all nations, right? Beginning at

what? At Jerusalem, right? So everybody now,

carry verse 46. Verse 46, that says, thus it

is written, thus it behoove Christ to suffer

and to rise from the dead. The what? The third

day. Carry that place and put it in Acts chapter

Acts 4 · chapter mention

4, right? Verse 30, by stretching forth thy hand

to heal and the signs and wonders may be done

as a result of Christ's death and resurrection.

From what? From the dead. Hallelujah. Because

that is why, this is the understanding the apostles

had. Their function or the work of ministry in

their hands was not as a result of using the

proper name of who? Of Jesus. 36. Everybody go

to 45. Luke chapter 24 verse 45. That is what

Luke 24:45

the apostles were using. Luke chapter 24 verse

Luke 24:45

45. Then opening here they are what? Understanding

that they might understand the what? The scriptures.

So the apostles, were sanctioning as a result

of understanding of what? Of the scriptures.

So what I just said now in summary, that the

believer's authority, right, is resting upon

the understanding of what? Of the scriptures.

What is written in the scriptures? That Christ

will suffer, right, and he will die, be buried,

and he will be raised of what? The third day.

That's where the authority of the believer lies.

You see, if you pay attention, when they gathered

in Acts chapter 4, they didn't say that the princes

Acts 4 · chapter mention

and the rulers were gathering against us. Come

on Lord, look at us. Pity us. These people are

fighting against us. Is that what they said?

No. In fact, the next verse, they said they have

ganged up against Jesus Christ. Glory to Jesus.

Good. So, that's the second thing now that I

just said, right? Yeah, so first thing that I

started by saying is prior to now in the Old

Testament, nobody is talking about in the name

of what? Jesus. I established that, right? Good.

So are we all there on the same page? Don't worry.

When we come properly, we'll go to that place

and then walk through. Then now we're establishing

also that now what we see is not about the proper

name of what? The proper name of Jesus. But rather,

the apostles were functioning from what? Understanding.

Understanding of what? The scriptures. What scriptures?

What is written about who? About Christ. That

it behooves Christ to suffer, to die, and to

be raised from what? From the dead. Do we understand

this so far? Glory to God. So now, what we now

did on Sunday, right? We're able to look at,

where did we stop on Sunday? We stopped at Mark,

Jerusalem and Eugenia, right? And then we ran

down to Matthew. We read Matthew. Amen? Good.

So, Now, let's go to Matthew 28. Matthew 28.

Matthew what? 28. Everybody, let's go there.

Verse 19. So, so far, so good. We know onoma,

right? Proper name and then figuratively function

now, right? Ability, office, authority, right?

Good. Perfect. So, you can go and do more such.

If you check your BLB and all those things, you

see all those clarifications there. Glory to

God. Good. So, now. Matthew 28, everybody. Verse

19. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,

All power is given unto me in heaven and in what?

And in earth. Go ye therefore and teach all nations,

baptizing them in the name of the Father and

of the Son and of what? And of the Holy Ghost.

Does this place look like Luke chapter 24? Right?

Luke 24 · chapter mention

After he finished speaking to them, he said that

repentance and remission of sins will be preached

what? In my name. Hallelujah. To all nations.

Glory to God. And then in Mark chapter 16 also,

Mark 16 · chapter mention

we see the same instruction, right? Perfect.

So now, in Matthew 28, we said onmerma means

what? Authority, right? Function, right? Office.

Ability, yes. And what again? Character. Glory

to God. Then now, read it this way, everybody.

18 now. And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying,

Right? In my name, go ye therefore and teach

all nations, baptizing what? Baptizing them in

the name of the Father and of the Son and what?

And of the Holy Ghost. So underline the what?

In the name of the Father and of the Son and

the Holy Ghost. We are coming to that. Because

this is the only place you will see where in

the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy

Ghost is mentioned. You won't see it anywhere.

Praise God. You won't see it anywhere. You know,

we will always do it. In the name of the Father,

you touch your forehead. and of the son you touch

your chest is it right or left yeah and of the

holy ghost so the hand is here then the holy

ghost rests here you know say amen you know or

as many of us that are watching football before

they do before they do substitutes as they are

doing like this you know and then they'll enter

and you wonder okay what was that just a fast

charm That was initiated. Hallelujah. See, in

this church, this is not the name of Jesus. Glory

to God. Praise God. It is not the name of Jesus.

No. This does not work here. Glory to God. What

works here, right, is the resurrection of who?

Of Jesus. That's what works. In fact, let's say

it this way. The resurrection of Jesus works

for me. And say it this way. I work in the resurrection

of Jesus. I function in the resurrection of Jesus.

Yes, that's where the authority lies. Praise

God. All the things we have been discussing all

this while about the things of the Spirit, praying

in the Holy Ghost, demonstration, all the things,

all the things are a product of the resurrection

of who? Of Jesus. Heal the sick. Resurrection.

Cast out devils. Resurrection. Speak in new tongues.

Resurrection. It's the gospel. Resurrection.

That's it. So now, let's read 18. And Jesus came

and spoke unto them, saying, All power is given

unto me in heaven and what? Some versions will

use the word authority. Okay, thank you for that.

You see, all authority has been what? Given to

me in what? In heaven and what? And on earth.

Now, Keep this for us like this. Go to Luke 24.

Because we are doing lots of study here so that

we really get what we are doing. Luke 24. 47.

Read it this way. And that repentance and remission

of sins should be preached in my authority among

what? All nations beginning at what? Jerusalem.

Does that make sense to us? Does it make sense

to us? Does it make sense? Let's read it again.

Repentance and remission of what? Of sins shall

be preached in my authority. Among what? All

nations beginning at what? Does it make sense

to us? Mark. Mark chapter 16. Let's read Mark

Mark 16 · chapter mention Mark 16 · chapter mention

chapter 16. And this sign, verse 17. And this

sign, just keep this to it. Just hold it. Verse

17. And this sign shall follow them that believe

in my authority, in my office. In my ability,

right, they will do what? They shall cast out

devils. They shall speak with what? With new

tongues. Does it make sense to us? Does it make

sense? So, if all the places we have read now

made that sense to us, what do you think Matthew

Matthew 18 · chapter mention

chapter 18 will be saying? And Jesus came and

spoke to them saying, all authority has been

given to me in heaven and on earth. What do you

think he'll be saying in Matthew? Matthew 28.

Good. Immediately he said that statement about

the authority. Mind you, don't forget. We said

that these statements that Jesus is making is

upon his resurrection. Praise God. Jesus never

made these statements before his resurrection.

These statements that Jesus is making now is

upon his what? Is upon his resurrection. So after

he has finished saying, all authority in heaven

and on earth has been given to me. See the next

statement. He said, do what? Yes, what do you

think he'll be saying? Yeah? Okay, his name is

the authority. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

You are right, my yes. I want you to put it in

Matthew 18 now. In Matthew, go to 18, 28, 18.

Yes? Yes, so put it in this verse now. And put

it now, put it now, put it, put it, put it now.

Let's go. And Jesus came and spoke to them saying,

In my name. In my name. Next verse. Go ye what?

Go therefore and make disciples of how many nations?

All nations, baptizing them in the name of what?

The Father and of the Son and what? And of the

Holy Ghost. Next verse. Teaching them to observe

all things that I have what? Commanded you. However,

we have learned these all things I have commanded

you is not what we have read in Luke 24. Right?

Which we now see in Acts chapter 1. The 50 days

Acts 1 · chapter mention

of all the teachings, right? And he says, I am

with you. And Lord, I am with you always, even

to the end of what? To the end of age. So what

Jesus was saying in Matthew 28, verse 18, and

Matthew 28:18

then now telling them to go therefore, he said,

in my right, in my authority, in my name, go

therefore and make disciples of how many nations?

All nations. Glory to Jesus. So somebody will

now ask a question. How about in the name of

the Father? the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. What

happens to it? I say we should do what? Underline

it and keep it. We are coming to it. Praise God.

Are we all here? So now we see the name of Jesus,

the authority of Jesus. So on Sunday, one of

the things we said, we want to establish that

if Jesus said that statement in Luke, right,

we expect also to see an account of such statements

in Matthew, amen, in Mark, and also in what?

in john hallelujah praise god so now everybody

let's go to john's account let's go to john's

account everybody john chapter 20 verse 30 are

John 20:30

we all on the same page so far good john chapter

John 20 · chapter mention

20 everybody is anybody confused so far you are

not understanding what's happening are we all

understanding are we all understanding good perfect

john 20 verse 30 everybody And he says, are many

John 20:30

other signs truly did Jesus did in what? In the

presence of his disciples which are not written

where? In this book. But these are written that

ye might what? Believe that Jesus is what? Is

the Christ, the Son of God and believing ye might

have life through what? Ye might have life through

what? Through his name. all that we have seen,

his death, burial, and resurrection, is that

believing, these things were written, that believing

these things, we might have life. How do we have

the life? Through his what? Through his name.

Glory to Jesus. We might have life. Do you see

this aligns with Mark chapter 16, the instruction

Mark 16 · chapter mention

he gave? Let's go to Mark chapter 16. Let's go

Mark 16 · chapter mention

to Mark chapter 16, everybody. Mark chapter 16,

Mark 16 · chapter mention Mark 16:15

verse 15. And he said unto them, Go ye into all

the world, preach the gospel to every creature,

he that what? Can you see? And that believing,

right? Ye might have what? Life through his what?

Through his name. Believer and his baptized shall

be what? Shall be saved, shall have life. But

he that believeth not shall what? Shall be damned.

Glory to Jesus. So that's what we are seeing.

That we have life through his what? Through his

name. We have life through his what? Through

his name. Let's establish something there very

fast so that we can. John 14, 13. John 14, 13.

Everybody. We have life through his name. Glory

to Jesus. John 14, 13. And whatsoever ye shall

ask. So I think it will be good. As we go through

these scriptures, please, anywhere you see in

my name, his name, try and be on the line if

it's your Bible. Right? If you borrowed it, please

don't write there. Yes. Yes. So, 14, 13. And

whatsoever ye shall ask what in my name, that

will I what? Will I do? When we come, more detail

about the name. We will come to these places

and talk about them in detail. Amen? These statements

that Jesus is making. Right? Why was he making

these statements? Glory to Jesus. He said, in

my name, that will I what? Do, and the Father

may be glorified where? In the Son. Verse 26.

Verse 14. Let's go to 14. 14, very fast there.

And if ye shall ask anything in my what? In my

name. I will what? I will do it. So, from now,

any place you see in my name, please, be put

in the office of Jesus. The authority of Jesus.

The function of Jesus. The character of who?

Of Jesus. Amen? So you see, you cannot just come

and say, I claim this Lamborghini in the name

of Jesus. Kabaye. What's that? What did you just

do? You see that house? Oh my father, I claim

it. I claim it. The question is, so you are claiming

it in the character of who? And for what? Because

we are learning now, carefully, if you pay attention,

we are learning all that is happening. In the

name of Jesus, events are happening. One of the

first events that is happening in the name of

Jesus is preaching what? The gospel. Another

event we are seeing that is happening in the

name of Jesus is what? Signs, wonders, and miracles.

Another event that is happening in the name of

Jesus is that through his name, we see people

have eternal life by believing. We are not seeing

people claiming Lamborghini. People claiming

mansions. People claiming things that is not

their own. Glory to Jesus. So, see now. So because

somebody will say, ah, I've never. You know,

you can be teaching, people can be. Somebody

will say, ah, if Jesus asks anything, I've never

seen this thing in my life. He say anything.

Bro, you cannot go and ask for somebody's wife.

Yes, you cannot. Because that's not in the character

of Jesus. That's not in the ability of Jesus.

Jesus does not have the ability to snatch somebody's

wife and give you. The resurrection of Jesus

never provided that kind of supply for you in

the spirit. Never. So now we are coming to this.

Hallelujah. So now, on the line of what? Anything

in my what? In my name, I will what? I will do

it. Glory to Jesus. Verse 26. Verse 26. But when

the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto

you from the Father, Even the Spirit of truth,

which proceeded from the Father, he shall do

what? He shall testify of what? Of me. And ye

shall also bear witness, because ye have been

with me from what? From the beginning. Where

did he write in my name? Where did he write in

my name? But when the Comforter is come, whom

I will send to you from the Father, glory to

Jesus, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeded

from the Father, he shall come to testify of

what? Testify of who? So in whose name will the

comforter be coming? In whose name? Another event

that we are seeing that will happen in the name

of Jesus is that the Holy Spirit will come upon

what? Will come upon everybody. Glory to Jesus.

That's another thing that we are seeing. The

Holy Spirit. He said he shall testify. It's as

a result of my resurrection that the Holy Spirit

will be what? Will be poured. Glory to Jesus.

Glory to Jesus. Good. Verse 15, 26. But the comforter

is still the same, the comforter. The comforter

with the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send

in what? In my name. Come on now, Bible students.

You allow your teacher to be rigmarole. Oh, you

understand? In my name, he shall teach you how

many things? All things and bring all things

to your remembrance whatsoever I have worked.

So the Holy Spirit in whose name will be given?

In the name of Jesus. Acts 15, 16. John 15, 16.

15, 16. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen

you and ordained you. Ha ha. that ye shall go

and bring forth fruit, that your food shall what?

Remain. That whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father

in my name, he might what? He might give you.

Hallelujah. Glory to God. Our election is in

the name of Jesus. Our adoption is in the name

of who? In the name of Jesus. Glory to God. See

21, everybody. 21, 15, 21. But all these things

will they do? unto you from my what? Namesake,

because they know not him that what? The question

is, what will they happen? Let's go to 20 so

that please don't be afraid of this because that's

it. It's a product of the name. Remember the

word that I said unto you, the servant is not

greater than his Lord. If they have persecuted

me, they will also what? Persecute you. If they

have kept my saying, they will also keep yours

what? Also, can you see that in the name, the

same response they give to Jesus, they give to

the believer. Glory to God. Then now, see the

next verse 21. He said, but all these things

will they do what? What are the things they will

do unto you? They will persecute you. You know,

in Hausa, Zamusha Shegi, in his name, they will

pull the knife and slaughter for the name's sake.

They will put a bullet in your head or in your

chest. For what? So write it. It's another event

in the name. Write it. Yes, as we arrive here

now, everybody pause. Write it. Persecution where?

In the name. Yes. Yes. John 16, 23. John 16,

23. And in that day ye shall ask me nothing.

Very, very little I say unto you. Whatsoever

ye shall ask the Father in my what? In my name,

he will what? He will give it to you. So add

these verses, verse 24 and 26. All he's talking

about in my name, in my name, in my name. John

John 16:24

chapter 16, verse 24, verse 26. Additional verses.

So, so far so good. What are we seeing? The summary

of what we are seeing from John's account. The

gospel should be preached or taught in his name.

Men are to believe in the gospel and receive

life through his what? Through his. name. Glory

to Jesus. Good. So let's go to Acts now. Let's

go to Acts. So we have seen in his name, in his

name, Luke will tell us, repentance will be preached,

Matthew will tell us, Mark will tell us, John

will tell us. Amen? Good. Please write this.

I forgot to say it from John, that we receive

in his name. We receive from the Father in his

what? In his name. So, because question will

now be, is it that when we say, in the name of

Jesus, no, no, no, let me say the way we say

the name, you know. When they finish the prayers,

the last part, in the mighty, wonderful, precious

name of Jesus Christ. Amen. So, it's like, when

they say that now, the thing has downloaded fully.

Yes. You see, with a louder amen. Amen. You know,

the thing now, Allah don't show. I remember either

Pastor Fred or Pastor Victor taught us here,

right? Because that's where we're heading to.

Because what we receive from the Father is not

when we name the name of Jesus. But when we have

an understanding, right, of what Jesus has done,

what? For the provision of Christ for us. That's

how we receive it. Glory to God. So, I may come

into a place, or you may come into a place, right?

and pray a prayer, and never end it with the

name of Jesus. And Allah will show. Please, it's

not money Allah. So what I mean by Allah, that

you will see miracles, signs and wonders will

happen. But somebody will say, I'm talking about

miracle money. That's not what I mean. Did I

say that from my mouth? No. If you wrote it,

delete it. Glory to God. But we receive in His

word. So by now, so far so good, from Sunday

to now, you should know that when you say we

receive in His name, We mean that we are receiving

in his what? In his character. In his ability.

In his office. Glory to God. Because when we

come to consider the name, we want to see what

are the provisions that Jesus has made available

for the believer in his office, in his character.

What are the things? Glory to Jesus. So now,

Acts now. Acts, everybody. Acts 2 .21. Acts 2

.21. And it shall come to pass that whosoever

shall call out. on the name of the Lord shall

be what? Shall be saved. Does this look like

where we are coming from, John? Yes. Believing

and we will have what? Life. We call upon the

name of the Lord who will be what? When we come

to this place also in Romans chapter 10, we are

Romans 10 · chapter mention

coming to Ephesians 9, Romans chapter 10, we

Romans 10 · chapter mention

see the same rendition there. Right? Now whosoever

shall call upon the name of the Lord is what?

Yes, shall be saved. Glory to Jesus. Verse 38.

Verse 38. Then Peter said unto them, repent and

be baptized every one of you in whose name, in

the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of

what? Of sins, and ye shall receive the gift

of what? Does this look like what Jesus just

told them in Luke? That repentance and remission

of sins will be preached. You know, when we keep

reading in that Luke 24, he told the 30 year

in Jerusalem, what? For the promise to receive

the Holy Ghost. So we see Peter. Peter did not

change what was taught to them. The believer

in the name of Jesus ought not to change the

message. You have to stay with the message, the

purity of the message, the accuracy of the message.

You see, Peter said the same words. In fact,

we often say it in catatismus, that whatsoever

you see your neighbor is doing, copy it. Hallelujah.

Copy what? Copy it. Immediately you see your

neighbor is praying in the Holy Ghost. Don't

stay there and be, what is happening? What is

happening? No, now, no. When will I? Oh, you

stay somewhere at the back. He say, when will

my time come? When will my time? Or they say,

can we just pray? People are receiving the baptism

of the Holy Ghost. And they probably are still

using the old software. You know, from Casablanca,

where you came? You know, and then you're using

that old software. And then you are like, they

taught you that they say, let me use the word

that probably they told. They say Kronos time,

you know, or they say Kairos time. And when that

time comes, certain things will happen in the

atmosphere. And then your tongues will come.

And then you now come to a place, gathering of

believers, where we don't have Kronos or Kairos.

We're already in everything. And then you are

waiting for that, you know, probably maybe you

see, just change gear. You say, I think the time

is coming. And after that, no time again. No,

when you see believers are gathered, whatever

provision you see in that atmosphere, you are

part of it. So don't wait and say, when will

I? Somebody just said now. So what if now I now

start saying, am I not pretending? Brother, you're

not pretending. Whatever, do it. When you finish,

we will interpret it for you. And from that atmosphere,

you will grow. Next meeting, come again. Whatever.

We will interpret another thing for you by the

Spirit. By the time you do three, four, five

meetings with us, you're the one that will start

interpreting the other people's own. Glory to

Jesus. Peter did not change the message. The

same thing Jesus told them, that repentance and

remission of sins will be what? Will be preached.

Seeing the same thing, he finished saying verse

what? Verse 30 what? Verse 38. Then Peter said

unto them, repent and what? Repentance and remission

of sins will be preached. Is that the same word

he's saying? He said, and be baptized in the

name of Jesus Christ for the remission of what?

Repentance, remission of sins. Forgiveness of

sins. And ye shall receive what? The gift of

the Holy Ghost. Glory to Jesus. In the name of

Jesus. Acts 3 .6. Acts 3 .6. Everybody see. Then

Peter said, silver and gold have I none. What

should happen to the man? What do you have? What

was he saying I have? I have authority. Hallelujah.

What was he saying I have? I come in the office

of Jesus. What was he saying I have? He said

I come. Do you remember that we read in John?

He said that you shall ask from the Father in

my name. And the Father will what? Will do it

in my function, in my ability, in my office.

He said in my name. You shall lay hands on the

sick. And the sick will do what? Will rise. And

Peter will have that understanding. I say silver

and gold. I do know what? What I have. Oh boy.

Yes. What I have, I give what? I give unto thee.

Rise up on what? I walk in my name. Glory to

Jesus. Verse 16, 316. 316. And his name. Now

he was still speaking about the man that was

raised. Right? He say, and his name, through

faith in his name. had made this man, you know

why I just giggle now and just laugh? Let me

tell you what happened in my heart. You know,

that this man was born what? Was born lame. And

he was kept at that gate, and that has been his

surviving center. And one of the things why I

smiled, he said that if you have understanding

of my name, there is no situation, whether it's

from childbirth, whether it's from womb. Whether

he say he's genetic, whether he say he's phenotypic,

whether he say he's genotypic, whether he say

he's hemophilia, whether he say, whatsoever it

is, from my office, that the name of Jesus, the

character of Jesus, the office of Jesus can change

everything. You see, this thing I just said,

bless me. It blessed me, me, custom, it blessed

me. And see what he will tell them now in verse

16. And his name through faith in his what? In

his name has made this man what? Strong, whom

ye see and what? Know. The faith which is by

him had given him what? This perfect soundness

in the presence of how many of them all. Do you

remember on Sunday, I said that, you know, you

will see, you will do what? you will hear. When

we see a demonstration of the things, of the

events, right? From the name of Jesus, there

is a seeing, there is a what? There is a hearing.

Glory to Jesus. Are we all there? So, let's add

this to us. Acts chapter 4 verse 7. Acts chapter

Acts 4:7 Acts 5:28

5 verse 28. I will encourage us, go and read

these places from Acts. I have faith. I believe

it. The spirit of revelation is working in our

hearts all year. Glory to Jesus. You will see.

The eyes of your understanding is open. You will

see it. You will see it. Even before we come

to the proper teaching on the name, you will

see it. Your place in Christ Jesus. Yes, you

will see it. Acts 5 .28. Are we reading it? Acts

8 .12. Acts 8 .12. Acts 8 verse 12. Acts 9 verse

Acts 8:12 Acts 9:14

14. Acts 9 verse 14. Acts 10 verse 43. In fact,

verse 13. Acts 22 verse 16. Acts 22 verse 16.

Acts 22:16 Acts 22:16

Acts 26 verse 9. Acts 26 verse 9. So when you

Acts 26:9 Acts 26:9

read all these scriptures in summary, what you're

going to be seeing, you're going to be seeing

the gospel preached and taught in his name by

the apostles. Amen. Number one, you will see

men believing in the gospel through his name.

Number two, you're going to see people speaking

with new tongues. Amen. You're going to see demons,

devils are casted out in his name. You're going

to see the sick healed in his name. You're going

to see the dead raised in his what? In his name.

And you're going to see the apostles suffering

in his name. Should I repeat myself? When you

read the book of Acts, all through the accounts

of Acts, you're going to see the gospel preached

in his name. You're going to see men believing

in his name. Amen? You're going to see people,

what I mean believing is that people are having

life through his name now. Right? You're going

to see people speaking in new tongues in his

name. You're going to see devils casted out.

In his name, amen. You're going to see the sick

healed in his name. You're going to see the dead

raised in his name. And you're going to see the

apostles suffering in his name. Glory to Jesus.

Glory to Jesus. Then now, let's do this marathon

in these two, three minutes. In the epistles,

very fast. In the epistles, Romans chapter 1,

underline it. Glory to Jesus. Romans 10, 13.

call upon the name of the Lord shall be what?

It looks like where Peter was also saying the

same thing. Yes, Romans 10, 13. Shall be saved.

1 Corinthians 5:4

5 verse 4. 1 Corinthians 5 verse 4. In the name

1 Corinthians 5:4

of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered,

what? Together. Pastor Fer has told us, right?

He has taught us extensively from Matthew, right?

Yes, and we understand, in this church now, we

understand where the church came from. Because

we said Ecclesia is the product of what? Of his

resurrection. Glory to God. So when believers

are gathered, when Ecclesia is gathered, it's

in whose name? In his name. So he said, in the

name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered

our Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our

God. Hallelujah. Glory to God. That's our reality.

That happened in the name. Glory to Jesus. That's

my ministry partner there. Yes. Glory to Jesus.

Then let's add this. Ephesians 5 .20. These are
