TOPIC: GREAT FAITH 

TEXT: LUKE 7:1-10 


7.  1When Jesus had finished saying all this to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum. 2 There a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die. 3 The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant. 4 When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, “This man deserves to have you do this, 5 because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.” 6 So Jesus went with them.

He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. 7 That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. 8 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”



9 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.” 10 Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.

MEMORY VERSE

“When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.” Luke 7:9

Seen as the substance of the things hoped for and evidence of things not seen, faith is the major currency with which you can draw wealth from heaven. Anywhere God sees faith, He is provoked to action and where the faith is great, then protocols are broken for instant manifestation.

The centurion exercised a great faith by reminding Jesus of the power in the spoken word. It confirms that words travels in the speed of the light and in the realm of the Spirit, there is no distance. The great faith from him generated the healing for his servant.

Beloved, if we must get the best of God and command His miracles, we must not only possess faith but make the faith great. A great faith is the one that is not normal or usual. It is a faith that strikes the cord at the highest point. It is the faith that does not follow protocol, like the woman with the issue of blood. It is a faith that is undying and never giving up like the Syrophoenician woman who never took no for an answer (Mark 7:25-30). It is the faith that takes risk like Zacchaeus, as well as Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, and Daniel.

No matter the circumstances, develop a great faith today and your miracle will surely locate.

 CHALLENGE 

❖ Don’t waver; remain strong in faith, and always exercise great faith.

 PRAYER POINT 

❖ Father, we thank you for the workings of miracles; help my faith to be great and let it produce great result, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
