“I pray that you begin to understand the incredible greatness of his power for us who believe in him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at the right hand of God in the heavenlies. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else in this world or the world to come…and we are seated with him in the heavenly places, all because we are one with Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 1:19-21, 2:6
Supreme simply means highest, absolute. It is the highest authority. The name of Jesus is a great and powerful weapon in the hands of a Christian, especially the prayer warrior. It is always fatal to Satan and the dark kingdom when mentioned by a believer. The name of Jesus opens the gates of heaven and also subdues all powers in heaven, on earth, under the earth, and in the water. But why is it so powerful? What’s in his name? First of all, Jesus Christ is the Son of God who came from heaven. This is a very simple introduction of Jesus. But if you study the Scriptures very well, you will undoubtedly come to the indisputable fact that Jesus is God. He is God, but he came in human form. From the Old Testament to the New, everything points to this fact. So if this man was God in the flesh, why wouldn’t he (his name) have absolute authority and influence over his creation? Tell me.
Second, before you accuse me of not knowing my Bible, Jesus also ‘earned’ ultimate authority when he successfully paid the price for sin and rose from the dead. They are self explanatory. Now, he reads the following scriptures and draws the conclusions for yourself: “For in Christ the fullness of God dwells in the human body and you are complete by your union with Christ. He is Lord of all principality and authority in the universe” Colossians 2:9-10. Once again, see this powerful revelation: “Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before God did anything and is supreme over all creation. Christ is the one for whom God created everything in heaven and earth. He He made things we can see and things we can’t see: kings, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities. Everything has been created through him and for him. He existed before everything began, and he holds all creation together.” . Colossians 1:15. wow! Did you really read that? Jesus was not just a prophet. He was actually God who came in human form!
Excellent! Now what do you want me to tell you again? If Christ has this nature and attributes, then how can created beings like Satan, demons, dark agents, witches, etc. stand before him? Now these are the things we need to understand as Christians: that our knowledge of Jesus Christ is God. That he created and is controlling all things in the entire universe, be it power, principalities, rulers, authorities, events, thrones, domains in the air, in the waters, on earth, in the mountains, in the dark places, in the day and at night. So when you mention his name, these created beings hear the name of his creator and have no choice but to obey, bow down and submit to his authority. A creation will always submit to the creator. Easy! Now, go with this knowledge and start conquering every enemy and situation. We will continue. Stay tuned for the second part of this article. Blessings to you!
