Have you been toiling for a long time with nothing to show
for it? Do you desire a quick turnaround in your life? One word of Christ is
what you need! A wise man said that one word encounter is worth much more than
many years of effort.
The centurion answered and said, “Lord,
I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word,
and my servant will be healed. Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way;
and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was
healed that same hour – Matthew 8:8, 13 (NKJV, emphasis mine)
When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out
into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” But Simon answered and said
to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless
at Your word I will let down the net.” And when they had done this, they
caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking- Luke 5:4-6 (NKJV,
emphasis mine).
You may have prayed, fasted, made the right confessions and
even worked very hard, etc, but you seem to have gotten nothing in return for
your effort, and you are asking, “What haven’t I done?” The answer is that you
have not got Christ words! This makes all the difference.
The word of Christ commands prompt actions from whatever or
wherever He had sent it to, Isaiah 55:11. Everything in heaven, on earth and
beneath the earth bows to His commands. They can never resist His words. Do you
wonder why?
Jesus Christ co-created the world and everything within it
with God the father and the Holy Spirit, Genesis 1:26, John 1:1-3. So,
everything is subject to Him. He is the Lord over all. The centurion in Matthew
8: 8-9 understood this. He considered that if he, being a man under authority,
can command obedience from the people under him, Jesus Christ would be able to
command more from all His subjects. Read more...
