RESTORATION TODAY
THURSDAY 8TH DECEMBER 2016
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: DIFFERENT LEVELS OF FAITH.
When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, ?I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!. Luke 7: 9.
The way you see Jesus will not affect God's acceptance of you. But it will affect your acceptance of what God has for you. It will affect how you receive from Him.
Consider the Roman centurion who told Jesus, You don't have to come to my house. Just speak the word and my servant at home will be healed? (Luke 7: 67). Compare him with Jairus, the ruler of a synagogue, who told Jesus, ?My daughter is dying. Please come to my house and lay Your hands on her, and she shall live? (Mark 5: 22 - 23).
The centurion was different. He said, Lord, You don't have to come to my house. I know who You are. This centurion believed that Jesus did not have to come to his house for his servant to be healed. He believed that Jesus only needed to speak the word. He said to Jesus, Just speak the word and my servant at home will be healed. Do you know who Jesus is? The centurion had a greater understanding of who Jesus is than Jairus, the ruler of the synagogue, and he wasn't even a Jew!
Jesus asked his disciples, Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?? (Mark 4: 40). He even remarked, O you of little faith (Matthew 6: 30). But to the woman whose daughter was demon-possessed, He said, ?O woman, great is your faith! (Matthew 15: 28). And to the centurion, He declared, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!?.
ACTION POINT:
When your revelation of Jesus is big, you will know what has been freely given to you.
SCRIPTURES:
Luke 7: 67
Mark 5: 22 23; 4: 40
Matthew 6: 30; 15: 28.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Heavenly Father, thank You for giving me Jesus as a gift.
2. Lord, open my eyes that I may see You more clearly in the name of Jesus.
3. Lord, fill me with Your love and grace in the name of Jesus.
