HOW DO YOU AMAZE JESUS II
The Man Centurion Said it to Jesus
Verse 6: And Saying, Lord, My Servant lieth at home
sick of palsy, grievously tormented.
How do you report your problems to Jesus?
There are two ways of reporting issues to Jesus as i discovered:
(a) To say i.e. Explain and (b)Complain
I have come to discover how you report your
problems/challenges/situations describes who Jesus is to you.
(a) When
you say- You call Jesus your Lord. i.e The Lord over your
life, the lord over your problems and you know he can proffer a solution.
Lord- A term referring to the judeo-christian God.
OR A person who has general authority over others. (Ref; Wordweb Dictionary)
What I am trying to paint is when you say your
situations to him you humble yourself and bring low the problems thereby
exalting Him as Lord- the one who has authority over all.
No wonder the scriptures taught us how to Say the Lord’s
prayer.
(b) When
you Complain- You have not called him Lord. How do I
mean?
You do not complain to someone who has a solution to
your problems, you explain and that is saying!
Permit me use this as an example: If the Head of
department of the company you work misbehaves/ ill-treats you, you complain to
your colleague about it because they have nothing to do about but you
explain that ill-situation to the Managing Director or Chief Executive Officer
of the company.
Complaining does not make the problem plain but
brings about a replay!
This is just another way I discovered the Centurion
amazed Jesus! How do you amaze him?
My prayer is that at this minute the Holy Spirit
help you realize the need to say(Explain) and not Complain just like the
Centurion.
Complain according to the word-web dictionary is to;
express complaints, discomfort, displeasure or unhappiness.
I want you to know God is not moved by emotions, he’s
not moved by how much you complain but explain.
I charge you today to explain it all to Him today and you’ll
definitely come back to testify to his response.
When you complain you only explain your pain for no
gain!
Do remember God is not moved by your emotions but your
faith.
Good Morning,
Oluwatobiloba Oshunbiyi.
