THE COVENANT OF LIFE

Faith: Using what you have to get what you want. That’s just my definition of faith from the above sub-title. How do you use the little in your hands? We discussed in the last post how the captain humbly told Jesus in verse 8b:‘ but speak the word and my servant shall be healed’ - that was purely faith. Authority in humility! The Centurion was a man under authority as rightly said in verse 9; He operated authority so he knew what authority was like. He said further: ‘I say to this man, Go and he goeth; and to another, Come and he cometh, and to my Servant Do this and he doeth it .

Humility I proposed ending this write - up on the second part but the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to something invaluable - Humility! I will be sharing with you how I discovered Humility as the third step through which the Centurion amazed Jesus. I earlier defined a Centurion as the leader of hundred soldiers (warriors) in ancient Rome. That means a Centurion is a man of authority! For 'I am a man of authority' would have been the word used by the scripture writers if it was this age but the scriptures in Matthew8:9:  ‘For I am a man under authority’ this was my first discovery of his humility.

ACCOUNTABILITY Word web defined Accountability: Responsibility to someone or some activity. I want to believe some Accountants will be reading through this piece and I hope I will not find myself in some accounting troubles (Smiling)…. All I ask is that God uses this piece to bless you. For the purpose of this study, I’ll be adopting the dictionary definition of Accountability: Responsibility for some Activity.
