TODAY’S TOPIC: The Mountain Moving faith
Text: Matthew 8:5-13(NIV):
"8:5. When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help.
8:6. "Lord," he said, "my servant lies at home paralyzed and in terrible suffering."
8:7. Jesus said to him, "I will go and heal him."
8:8. The centurion replied, "Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
8:9. 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."
8:10. When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said to those following him, "I tell you the truth, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.
8:11. I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
8:12. But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
8:13. Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go! It will be done just as you believed it would." And his servant was healed at that very hour."
SHOWER (Reflection):
According to Hebrew 11: 1, faith is assurance of things hoped for and evidence of things not seen. It is an asset that you must tap from if you must excel. From our today's scriptural passage, you will discover that faith is really needed. Many are forcing their ways to visit one God's servant or another for miracle. They wouldn't mind if they must buy forms, tickets or pay cash just to secure appointment or healing with them. But here, a centurion, only pleaded for a word which he believed must set his servant free. If it is to be people of today, they will insist on purchasing air ticket to and fro, or transport fare just to ensure the God's servant visit their houses. We must remove this kind mentality as we move to 2023. You can't bribe your way to success. It comes naturally to the faithful.
