TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE ROMAN OFFICER: Reputation Moves Or Stop God. (4)
MEMORY VERSE:
Philippians 2:3
3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.
BIBLE READING:
Luke 7:6
“6 So Jesus went with them….”
Thinking Point:
“Most times, God responds to our reputation than our words and prayer.”
May God reward your good deals in Jesus name, Amen. There’s this word I like to say, that, “God doesn’t just listen to our prayers but he grant us what we deserve”. Yes, some Christian’s behaviour and attitude works against their desired life style. They do evil but seek God to do them good. They refuse to help or bless others but pray that God blesses them, that is not who God is. God is principled, what you make happen to others is what He makes happen to you not just your prayers. One can’t be a wicked soul and keep praying to God to protect him/her from evil, no, the only thing He will permit for such person is the law of karma. What people tells God about you is weightier than the request you place before God. Remember Galatia 6:7 which says,
“7 Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant.” God isn’t partial, He is just.
God rewards seeds than our prayers, your reputation is much more important than your prayers.
The Roman Officer need not to pray for the healing of his servant. Jesus, hearing his reputation from the Jewish Elders was enough to move to his house. Remember Tabitha, named Dorcas, in Acts 9:26-42, she was not alive to speak for herself or pray, it was her reputation that Apostle Peter heard and he went to restore her back to life. Will our reputation move God to attend to our situations? Hope our helpers won’t be discouraged by our reputation? Let’s live a life that will move God to attend to us even when we are not praying. Our reputation moves God than our words, build good reputation brethren.
Good Day and God bless you.
