I was traveling several years ago from Ibadan (Capital City of Oyo State in Nigeria) to a town called Ilorin (Capital City of Kwara State in Nigeria).
On the way, there was this Narrow Bridge - The Bridge was so Narrow it can only take one vehicle at a time.
So if you are approaching the Bridge, you will see a Sign "Narrow Bridge ahead."
So you will slow down because if there is another Vehicle on the Bridge before you got there, you will park; otherwise you want to drown. Because the Narrow Bridge was over a very deep River.
We were already on the Bridge, when a Trailer (you call it Truck here) was coming from the other side. Whether he didn't see us or he couldn't stop, we never found out. But he just came on the Bridge all the same! And he was coming at top speed.
My driver and I, we had a Choice - Either to die by head-on collision or to via into the River below and drown. There was no time to Pray, but there was enough time to shout the Name Jesus.
Both of us spontaneously shouted the Name JESUS!!!!
We met the Truck in the middle of the Bridge and somehow we Passed! - He went his way; he didn't even wait.
That Name has Power! And it is responsible for my still being alive today. Glory be to God - Hallelujah.
Now when we got to the other side of the Bridge; my Driver was so badly shaking that he Parked!
And he was still shaking like banana leaf.
Fortunately for me, he didn't look back because I was shaking more than he was.
By the time he was able to compose himself to ask me any Question, I had settled down.
He said "Daddy what happened?" I said "God expanded the Bridge." - Hallelujah!
And for the rest of the Journey to Ilorin, the boy just kept on saying WONDERFUL!
I said, that is His Name!
In Philippians 2:9-11, the Bible made it clear, "at the mention of the Name of Jesus every knees shall bow."
Which means I can get any job done by using the NAME OF THE LORD JESUS.
For Example, in 1 Samuel 17:42-51; David said to Goliath, "you have come with all manner of Human Resources that you thought will give you Victory; but I come against you in the NAME OF THE LORD OF HOST."
And before the battle is over, it was Goliath who was down with his head off.
The Name!
Let me hear somebody shout Jesus - JESUS!
That Name Supplies so much Strength; because in John 14:14 it is written, "if you he ask anything in my Name I will do it for you."
Any work you want done, ask God to do it for you and He said, it would be done!
You can get things done through His Mighty Name - Things can be done through HIS MIGHTY NAME!
THE NAME 'JESUS' CAN NEVER FAIL YOU IF CHRIST IS DWELLING IN YOU.
BUT IF THAT NAME IS FAR FROM YOU AND YOU ARE RELYING ON UNRELIABLE NAME, OR YOU ARE CALLING THE NAME WHEREAS YOU HAVE 'OPTIONAL NAME' YOU STILL BELIEVE IN(PLAN B); YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY YOU END UP IN SHAME.
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO END UP IN SHAME RECONCILE WITH GOD AND TALK TO HIM NOW: Tell him to save your Soul, ask Him to have Mercy on you and wash you Clean with His Blood. Promise Him that from now on you will serve Him all the days of your Life.
May the Lord answer your prayers and in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, you will not see shame.
ARE YOU IN A TIGHT CORNER?
LET ME HEAR YOU SHOUT THE NAME - JESUS!!!
