The Centurion

"Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, saying, 'Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.' And Jesus said to him, 'I will come and heal him.' The centurion answered and said, 'Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed."' Matthew 8:5-8 Centurion in the time of The Lord Jesus was a man who used to arrest people and many times he used to give order to kill others proving that he had nothing to do with God. He was not Jew but Roman, however when he saw his servant suffering he immediately decided to do something to save his life. Then he came to Jesus by himself for he could not bring his servant because he was paralyzed. The centurion was so confident in what he was doing that he didn't even need the presence of the  Lord Jesus at his house, but just a word and would be enough for his servant to be healed and that's exactly what happened to him.The point I want emphasize here is the centurion didn't accept to see his servant suffering without doing anything to help him and actually this was what The Lord Jesus was expecting from those who were following Him, in order words for us to help those who are suffering.

   The Centurion like the Good Samaritan were not Christians. They didn't know the Holy Scripture, yet they had compression on those who were suffering and did something to save their lives. We as Christians and servants of God, are anointed with authority to cast out demons and heal the sick, can do much more than these two men did and made history. Let's make sure that this Sunday  we bring someone who needs help. I do believe that you have already found the person and he or she can come from your own family, friends, neighbors, etc. Though it is not written in the Bible but I am very sure that these two men the one helped by the Good Samaritan and the one who was helped by the Centurion never forgot about those who helped them to overcome their problems. I also believe that you always remember the one who evangelized you and gave you a hand to take you out of your suffering.
Think about it.
God Bless,

Be Perfect

Dear friend,
When we read the Bible we can see that the greatest things happened just once, for example the calling of Abraham, God called him just once and left his all and went to a place where he didn't know. Noah built just one ark he didn't need to do it again. As far as I know the Red Sea was divided only once. Jacob wrestle with God once and for all, how about the Walls of Jericho? It fell flat down no more than once. David didn't need to kill Goliath twice, and The Lord Jesus was crucified once and for all; but what I wonder is why many people keep on doing the same thing over and over and never accomplish their dream? They take part of campaigns after campaigns and have reaped no result? Are they really being perfect in the things they have done when they come on the altar? Is God wrong? Is He the one who is making mistakes? To be frank, the problem is with us and in what we have done, please don't say that you have done everything in the right way, God is not insane He is perfect. If you have joined the Campaign of Israel and you are fulfilling your vow this Sunday, be perfect, don't do what you want but do what God wants you to do. The heroes of the past became heroes because they simply obeyed. They never did what they wanted. They never gave what they liked but what God required from them. Jacob left his all not because he wanted, but because he knew for him to change his life and become God's reference he had to leave all. You know what God wants from you  too. Therefore, don't come on the altar and bring what you can, nor what you want but bring what God wants from you and you won't need to do it second time.
Be blessed,Be perfect.

Tithe, Offering and Life!

Why place tithes and offerings on the

Why place tithes and offerings on the

altar, if God is Spirit?

…seek the LORD your God at the place of worship he himself will choose from among all the tribes — the place where his name will be honored. There you will bring your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, your sacred offerings, your offerings to fulfill a vow, your voluntary offerings, and your offerings of the firstborn animals of your herds and flocks. There you and your families will feast in the presence of the LORD your God, and you will rejoice in all you have accomplished because the LORD your God has blessed you.  Deuteronomy 12:5-7 (New Living Translation)

Tithes and offerings represent the life of the tither and giver on the altar.

Jesus teaches that the altar sanctifies the offering. The altar sets apart or consecrates the tither and the giver to God. Matthew 23:19

The only way for our hands to be blessed, to begin to change for the better, to enjoy the happiness of good health, to have a blessed house, and to  have prosperity and abundance… is for us to become tithers.
