Just Say The Word

          Just say the word, and my servant will be healed - Mathew 8:8.

                    A Centurion came to Jesus asking Him to heal his servant who was close to death.  He cared his servant and had compassion with him. He came to Jesus asking to help his servant. As a child of God, we also have a great privilege to intercede for others. When Jesus said that He will come and heal him, the Centurion told Jesus just to say the word and his servant will be healed. What an incredible faith!!

                 He was also a great man of humility. He told Jesus that he does not deserve to have Him in his house.  For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” (Matthew 8:8-9). Faith brings changes to our situations. Like Centurion, let us have a great faith in the power of God.

                    We see in the Bible that many people are amazed at Jesus because of the miracles performed by him. But here Jesus was amazed by seeing the faith of Centurion. When Jesus heard this, He was amazed and said to those following Him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith - Mathew 8:10. When Jesus told that let it be done according to his belief, the servant was healed immediately. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast - Psalm 33:9.

                                                         

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to be compassionate with each other. Fill us with humility and great faith. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
