I love to listen to Bible’s story and one of them is the story of the Roman Centurion in Matthew 8:5-10. In this story, we learn about authority. This Roman centurion was a man who knew authority and one day he came to Jesus to plead for Him to heal his servant. When Jesus was about to go to heal his servant, he immediately replied, “Lord I am not worthy that you should come under my roof. He knew about authority for he was a man under authority, having soldiers under him. As a commander, he exercised authority over his soldiers : And when he said to this soldier, “Go” and he goes; and to another, “Come.” And he comes; and to his servant, “Do this, and he does it.”
He asked Jesus to speak a word, and his servant will be healed. Jesus was marveled and commented on his great faith.
We can also learn to speak God's language: Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him. There is authority in God's Word. In life there are many mountains, hurdles and we can learn to speak to these mountains and commanding them to be lifted up and thrown into the sea. However, in order for God's Word to be effective in your life, there is a need to live in obedience to Him and also forgiving towards other. (Mark 11:24-26)
24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
25 “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.”
