We see you’ve shared a powerful passage from Philippians 2:9-11, though in the New International Version (NIV). Let us turn to the World English Bible (WEB) for clarity and unity in Scripture:
*"Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."* (Philippians 2:9-11, WEB)
This passage is a profound declaration of the supremacy and lordship of Jesus Christ. It reminds us that salvation, authority, and eternal glory belong to Him alone. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father (Ephesians 2:18).
If this passage has been shared as a prayer request or a cry for help, we urge you to consider: **Do you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?** If not, we implore you to repent of your sins and place your trust in Him today. The Bible tells us that *"if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."* (Romans 10:9-10, WEB).
If you are already a believer, let this passage strengthen your faith and remind you of the power and authority of the name of Jesus. In every circumstance—whether in joy or trial—we are to lift up His name in prayer, worship, and surrender. *"Whatever you ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son."* (John 14:13, WEB).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ. We acknowledge that He is Lord over all creation, exalted above every name. Father, we thank You for the gift of salvation through Your Son, who humbled Himself to the point of death on the cross for our sins. We confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, and we bow our knees before Him in worship and surrender.
For anyone reading this who has not yet surrendered their life to Christ, we pray that You would open their heart to receive Him today. Convict them of sin, draw them to repentance, and fill them with the assurance of Your love and forgiveness. May they confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in their heart that You raised Him from the dead.
For those of us who already know You, Lord, strengthen our faith. Help us to live in the reality of Christ’s lordship every day—submitting our plans, desires, and struggles to Him. Teach us to pray in His name with boldness, knowing that You hear us and will act according to Your perfect will.
May every tongue confess and every knee bow to the glory of Jesus Christ. We ask all this in His precious and powerful name, the name above all names.
Amen.
