That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

When God was satisfied with the punishment for all sins, which is by death, He raised Christ up from the dead, to mark a new beginning of a New Life for all who believe in Christ as their Lord and saviour. 

Therefore, because of His obedience to lay down His life for  many, God has put Him in charge of all things. 

He has exalted the name of Jesus above any other name named anywhere, in any society or religion. 

His name has power and Authority over every situation in your life. 

Everything in your life is subject to the name of Jesus. 

At the Mention of the Name of Jesus all situations have to bow.

Not knowing this truth does not nullify the authority Jesus has over anyone and everything, but aligning up to His authority Will benefit your life greatly. 

The name of Jesus is so powerful that ignorance of it is robbing many of God’s blessings and fulfilment in life. 

The enemy will do anything to keep man in the dark so that he can continue to oppress him. 

The truth is that the power in the name of Jesus brings deliverance from all oppression of the devil and delivers dominion to mankind.

10. You are qualified to use His name only if you are born again.
