Matthew 8:5-13.  Jesus has the power to heal the sick, to deliver the oppressed and He is the Saviour of sinners. When He comes into your life, family, and city, as He did in Caper-naum, that awesome power He wields will roll your mountains away. Your life will change for the better, likewise your business and family too because that is exactly why Christ came into the world: to set men free. And today you shall be free.

The Centurion heard the news that Jesus had come, and he himself came to Jesus, a centurion with all his titles and position of authority, pleading with Him. He had a need in his life that only Jesus could meet.

There is a problem in every man’s life that only God can solve. God can only help you solve that problem when you recognize His authority over your life by putting aside your position in society. It is only after you have dropped your pride that salvation, healing, and deliverance will come upon you from the Lord. He will come and heal me.

Today His word of power, salvation, deliverance is coming unto you. Today signs and wonders are coming your way. And you are healed in this selfsame hour. Matthew 8:5-9. The centurion recognised that all he needed was a word of authority from the King of all kings, the Unchangeable Christ. And Jesus entering into Capernaum changed his life.

The Centurion came to Jesus, and that is how miracle takes place, where there is a connection between you and Christ. When the sinner makes a connection with the Saviour miracle happ-ens. Your connection with Christ will bring a miracle.

The centurion called Him Lord. He was a man of power, authority, popularity in the society. He was not a poor man. People say that it is only poor people that come to Christ. But I want to say that there is a problem in your life which position, education, etc cannot take away. The solution is with Jesus.

When you come to Jesus you will receive solution to your problems today. He is the Healer, Saviour and Deliverer. When you come to Him, He will give you that desired miracle.

The centurion came and made Jesus Lord over his life. He did it voluntarily, personally and individ-ually. He called Him, Master, Controller.

Recognise the worth of the authority of Jesus over your life because whatever window of opportunity life may open to you, there is something reserved in life that only Jesus can do for you.

There are some doors that only Jesus can open unto you. You may be a pro-fessional and lord over your craft, but only Jesus can open those doors for your life. If you come to Christ, He will not discrimi-nate against you, He will save and heal you. He will not cast you out, whatever you have done in the past, whatever covenant you have made in the past, He will forgive and answer your prayers.

The centurion called him Lord, the second time, affirming Jesus as the Lord of the totality of his life. Nobody is worthy to come before the Lord, only the worthiness of Christ, makes us worthy of His salvation and grace. The grace of Jesus will receive you and His mercy will come to you today.

The centurion knew that Jesus has over 100% author-ity on all sicknesses and blessings, hearings, salvat-ion, and deliverance. Know that today Jesus has over 100% authority on all sins, sicknesses, satanic afflict-ions, and He comes to set you free. Jesus is worthy to set you free.

Matthew 8:10-12 Jesus spoke about the centurion to His followers. God will talk about you to His angels. Jesus will speak about you to the saints. You will be a model, a pattern to all the believers.

The centurion had great faith in Jesus for the healing of his servant. When you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, you will have a great future and the compelling authority of Jesus will work in your life and family today. There is a confirmation in your life today. Salvation, healing, deliverance is coming your way.

Congratulations. Bad luck is gone, sin forgiven, you are a candidate for heaven.
