Every
name has power or honour backing it wherever it is being mentioned. However, a
title is more power packed than just a name. In other words every title is
power pregnant i.e. it is pregnant with the ability to perform. If you go to an
office where you are referred to the Director and you tell the receptionist “Mr
Jonathan” sent me to see the Director of this organisation; the receptionist
might just offer you a seat for courtesy and further ask you “which Mr
Jonathan” because so many people share the name Jonathan.
But
when you go further to say “The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria”,
the receptionist will jump to his or her feet and say “I am sorry sir” then,
direct or usher you straight to the Director’s offices. I tell you the truth;
you will meet the Director on your way coming to meet you because you came
under the authority of a title.
Until
Blind Bartimaeus called one of the titles of Jesus as He passed him by on the
highway where he begged for alms he wasn’t attended to. Someone might pretend
not to have heard his name being mentioned but no one can pretend not to have
heard his title because no one shares it with you; if any at all you all carry
power.
As
I studied this morning and read through some scriptures that revealed titles of
God by which He has and will always reveal Himself to mankind; the Holy Spirit
whispered to my spirit saying “titles are power pregnant” in other words,
titles possess within them the power to perform. Your title is your office and
every office has a level of authority attached to it.
Hence,
the title of your father determines your title as a son or daughter. For
instance, the son and daughter of a man who has the title of a king are called
Prince and Princess respectively. In the same vein, as children of God who has
so many titles amongst which is the “King of kings”; you have been redeemed as
Princes and Princesses by reason of the acceptance of Jesus as your Lord and
saviour, Revelations 1v6.
Now
the King has all the right to send his Prince to go represent him at an event;
the Prince will be accorded the respect that would have been accorded the king
if he were the one that came in person. This is exactly what we are doing here
on earth; we are occupying His place till His return. At this junction I will
adjourn you to get a copy of my write-up titled “Occupy till I come”, it will
give you a deeper insight into the subject of the benefits that accrue to your
position in the stead of Christ.
However,
let us use the next few lines to highlight some of the titles of God; remember
I told you that God’s titles are directly proportional to His ways of revealing
Himself to mankind.
He
is God (Alpha and Omega, Beginning and Ending, First and the Last, Creator of
all both living and non-living), He is “I AM”, He is King of kings, He is
wealthier than the wealthiest and gives the power to get wealth, He is Lord of
lords, He is Amen, Healer, Restorer, He is Elshadai, He is Jehovah etc; these
and many more titles are avenues through which God show’s up whenever He is
called upon.
Conclusively,
God expects that we display this same splendours as His children; He has decided to
display His splendour through you and the only way that can work is for you to
accept Him; much more that you are entitled and will be accorded the same
respect as He would have been accorded if He were here in person.
Congratulations and have a good day!
