Philippians 2:9-11
Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honour
and gave him the name above all other names,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
I love these verses because they remind us the devil has been totally defeated and he has to bow to the mighty name of Jesus, along with everyone else. Jesus won such an overwhelming victory over him, the devil knows he’s got no power over us any more.
It’s good to keep reading these verses just in case we forget how powerful Jesus now is and how He is for us, and not against us, so we can have the victory over the enemy as well. Jesus passed His victory over to us. He said He has made us more than conquerors through Him and He gave us His name to use in our fight of faith against the principalities and powers that come against us. Whatever is trying to harm us, we can tell it to bow down to the name of Jesus, resist it and tell it to flee.
Lord Jesus we praise you today, because You hold the place of highest honour and we bow at Your wonderful name and give our Father God all the glory for His wonderful plan of salvation and for including us in it. We praise Your mighty name Lord Jesus. Amen.
