TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE ROMAN OFFICER: Significant Of A Word (6)
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 7:7-8
7 I am not even worthy to come and meet you. JUST SAY THE WORD FROM WHERE YOU ARE, AND MY SERVANT WILL BE HEALED.
8 I know this because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, ‘Go,’ and they go, or ‘Come,’ and they come. And if I say to my slaves, ‘Do this,’ they do it.”
Thinking Point:
Words Are Powerful Because It Has The Ability To Create Or Destroy Anything In The World.
A beautiful Friday for us all, may all our efforts for the week be crown with the blessings of God in Jesus name, Amen. From our lesson today I will like to teach on the “Significant Of The Word”. The Roman officer with his office understood this better in his days and that was why he imployed it. He told Jesus, “… and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, ‘Go,’ and they go, or ‘Come,’ and they come. And if I say to my slaves, ‘Do this,’ they do it.””. May I tell you this morning that, as Christians, we are under the authority of God and we also have authority over situations, pain, principalities and powers according to Luke 10:19, John 1:12. We have been endowed with powers to rebuke the devil. We are empowered to use our words to create commotion in the camp of the enemy and create peace around our lives but what we lack is the knowledge the Roman Officer had. Come to think of it, if Jesus had gone to his House, He will also speak a word to the servant for his healing, it’s not really the presence of Jesus that will perfect the healing but the word that Jesus will speak. We don’t need Jesus (physically) to come into our situation, we need His word either Logo or Rhema. What the word of God says is what we need not calling or running to pastors for healing and breakthroughs.
When the heaven and earth was created it was through the same word, by God. When you decided to get married, it was through the same word from your mouth that, “I want to get married”, “I want to study more”, “I’m going to the office”, “I need more income” whatever we say and work towards, even when it seems not to be real, we make it real. This is the power of the word in our mouth, we use it everyday in our activities but we fail to apply it to spiritual things. The same word is what we need to heal and encourage that fellow going through hard times, seeking for healing and breakthrough. We just need to speak the word, we have been endowed to do this, the power is within.
Lastly, the same word is what we use to destroy others when we use it negatively, why not use positive words for others instead of using it negatively? There is power in the word we speak likewise in the mouth of that servant of God over your life, understanding this will make us enjoy the profit there about according to Proverbs 18:21, which says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” Our mouth has been empowered to decree and have it.
