FAITH PRECEDES BOUNTIFUL MIRACLES AND GOOD TIDINGS (Matt 8 Vs 8 and 9)

Mathew 8vs 8

and The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

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.”

Sometimes in life people tend to lose their oversight, as a result of the storms of life, the bible said without faith it's impossible to please God, as a believer of God and the word, we must know that at one time in life, the storms of life will become too much, and this is exactly the time to display faith.

In our text above, the centurion whose servant was sick got multiple visitation from Jesus, why?

He acknowledged the dependability of God's power

He exhibited uttermost faith even when he was an unbeliever.

He walked he faith, only believing his servant will be healed.

Jesus if course have to speak the word, but not until the man himself has demonstrated the fact that he believed in God's works, these days many people ate passing through the storms of life, with no hope to go. When Jesus was walking on the sea, his disciples were afraid, not until Peter ask Jesus "shall I come?" and Jesus said "come" even before Peter spake the word he would have to have had faith, a person walking on water? He must have surely thought in his mind that it must be suicide, but what you know? Be still went on to climb and walk on water and what happened?

Matthew 14: 30 and 31 said "But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

Peter began to doubt after exhibiting much faith and of course he started to sink, in any situations you find yourself it us important to have faith in God and pray, even in your darkest moment, you have to trust God and have faith.

Abraham trusted in God and exhibited faith by taking Isaac to the slaughter to sacrifice him without even questioning God's authority that Is the highest point of faith. No wonder Abraham was called the father of faith, how about when Sarah was barren? Abraham never lost faith.

THE BENEFITS OF FAITH, AND PRECEEDING MIRACLES.

Total healing In the centurion servant life,

When Hannah believed God for the blessing of a child and she got a prophets.

Abraham was blessings with many nation for his belief in God.

Hezekiah had faith that he wasn't going to die, and he got 15 years added to his life.

Job believed God even in his suffering and he God an even better ending than his beginning

As a result of tribulations, many people have doubted God and what he can do, needless to say, the reward for those that shows strong faith is always bountiful, the bible says that God is a rewarder of him that dedicatedly please him.
If there seems to be a thousand reason to doubt, please be wiling to have a single reason to have faith and believe in God, and bountiful blessings and miracles shall follow.
