TOPIC: VICTORY IN HIS NAME
MEMORISE:
The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
Psalms 20:1
READ: Psalms 118:6-12:
6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
7 The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
9 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.
10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.
11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
12 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 29 OCTOBER 2025 TODAY MESSAGE
A person’s future can be influenced by his or her name. For example, Moses was so named in Exodus 2:10 because he was drawn out of water. Throughout his lifetime, he continually had encounters with water. God used him to perform several miracles with water, including: changing water to blood (Exodus 7:20), parting the Red Sea (Exodus 14:21), turning bitter water to sweet water (Exodus 15), and bringing water out of the rock (Exodus 17).
Names are important; this is why God had to change the names of some people in the Bible so that their destinies could be fulfilled. My mother told me that on her way to see a priest concerning my baptismal name, the name she had in mind was Elisha. However, by the time she got to the priest, she had forgotten the name, so she told him that she would name me Enoch. When she shared this story with me, I told her that I would keep the two names – Elisha, who had a double portion of the anointing, and Enoch, the man who walked with God.
The names people are called are important to their destinies, but there is a name that is greater than all names, and that name is JESUS.
In Philippians 2:9-11, the Bible says,
“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 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.”
In Psalm 118:10-13, David revealed the secret to his victory. He said that when the nations compassed him about, he destroyed them in the name of the Lord. He understood the power in the name of the Lord.
Beloved, is there anything troubling you as a child of God? Does it have a name? If it does, I congratulate you because you have just defeated it. As long as it has a name, there is a name above it. Even if doctors can’t find a name for anything that might be troubling you medically and they say that all they can see from their diagnosis is ‘nothing’, that is still a name, and when you trust in the name of the Lord, you will always be victorious. Call on the name of the Lord today, and He will give you victory over anything that is troubling you.
REFLECTION
Do you have absolute trust in the name of Jesus?
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
Luke 19-20
HYMN 1: ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS’ NAME
OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 29 OCTOBER 2025 COMMENTARY
MEMORISE: Psalm 20:1
“The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee.”
This is both a prayer and a proclamation. It invokes the covenant-keeping God (the God of Jacob) to actively defend and protect His children through the power inherent in His name when they call upon Him in their day of trouble.
BIBLE READING: Psalms 118:6-12
This passage is a powerful declaration of victory through the name of the Lord:
v. 6: “The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?”
v. 10-12: “All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them… They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.”
The name of the Lord is the believer’s weapon of total victory against overwhelming odds.
The Supremacy of the Name of Jesus
Pastor E.A. Adeboye teaches on the profound power of names, using biblical examples to build a crescendo of faith around the most powerful name in existence: the name of Jesus. While earthly names can influence destiny, the name of Jesus has the ultimate authority to define, command, and transform every situation.
The Power of a Name
- Prophetic Destiny: Names often carry prophetic significance, shaping a person’s life and calling, as seen with Moses (“drawn out”) and the renaming of Abram (father) to Abraham (father of many nations).
- Spiritual Identity: The names Elisha (God is salvation) and Enoch (dedicated, walked with God) represent a double portion anointing and intimate fellowship, a heritage Daddy Adeboye gratefully acknowledges.
The Name That is Above Every Name
While human names have influence, the name of Jesus exists in a category of its own:
- It is Highly Exalted (Philippians 2:9): God the Father has bestowed upon the name of Jesus the highest rank, dignity, and authority in the universe.
- It Commands Universal Submission (Philippians 2:10): Every being—in heaven, on earth, and under the earth (demonic forces)—must bow at its utterance. No authority, natural or supernatural, is exempt.
- It Secures Universal Confession (Philippians 2:11): Every tongue will be forced to acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord. This name settles every argument and ends every debate.
The Practical Victory in the Name
The name of Jesus is not a theological concept; it is a practical weapon for daily victory.
1. It is Your Defense (Psalm 20:1):
When trouble comes, the name of the God of Jacob is your shield and defender. It is a spiritual fortress.
2. It is Your Offensive Weapon (Psalm 118:10-12):
Like David, you can “destroy” encircling enemies—sickness, lack, fear, oppression—in the name of the Lord. The name is a weapon of total annihilation against every adversarial force.
3. It is Your Answer to Every Named Trouble:
The devotional presents a profound truth: “As long as it has a name, there is a name above it.”
- Sickness has a name → Jesus is above it.
- Poverty has a name → Jesus is above it.
- Depression has a name → Jesus is above it.
- Even a diagnosis of ‘nothing’ has a name → Jesus is above it.
How to Activate the Power of the Name
1. Call Upon the Name:
In your day of trouble, consciously and audibly call upon the name of Jesus. Speak it in prayer. There is power in the vocalized confession of His name (Romans 10:13).
2. Command in the Name:
Follow the biblical model. Do not just plead with God; command the situation to change in the mighty name of Jesus. Address the mountain of sickness or debt and command it to be removed (Mark 11:23).
3. Live in the Authority of the Name:
Understand that as a believer, you have been given the legal right to use this name (Mark 16:17-18). Walk in the confidence that every knee must bow to the name you carry.
Conclusion: Your Ultimate Weapon
Pray this:
“Lord Jesus, I thank You for the power in Your name. I proclaim today that Your name is above every name—above every sickness, every fear, every lack, and every attack in my life. I call upon Your name now for deliverance and victory over [name your specific situation]. I command every opposing force to bow now in the mighty name of Jesus. I declare that I am more than a conqueror through You. Thank You for the victory. Amen.”
Action Steps:
- Name Your Trouble: Clearly identify what you are facing. Write it down.
- Find a Scripture: Locate a Bible promise that contradicts that trouble.
- Pray and Command: Pray, using the name of Jesus to plead your defense and command the situation to change.
- Thank Him: Begin to thank God for the victory as if it has already been accomplished.
Remember: You are not fighting for victory; you are fighting from victory. The battle was won at the cross. Your role is to enforce that victory through the powerful name of Jesus.
“That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow…” (Philippians 2:10). Use the name today.
