GO!

"Go! It will be done just as you believed it would" Matthew 8:13

By that one word his servant was healed. Just by one word? No! It is the FAITH of the Centurion. The story of the faith of the Centurion is an interesting one. Something which i can somehow relate to. A servant of the Centurion was terribly sick and bed-ridden. A centurion was a man of authority, a man of professional officer status in the Roman army. Yet, he is a good master, one who cares of his servants, this is evident when Jesus came to the town of Capernaum and the Centurion asked of Him to heal his servant.

He is also humble something which most men of authority are not. "I do not deserve to have You come under my roof." This clearly shows the submission to the authority of Jesus Christ. Not only he was a humble man, he was also a firm believer, "But say the word, and my servant will be healed." I read on about the authority he held as a centurion, ordering "Go" and his soldiers will go, "Come" and his men will come.

I could some how relate to this because i do have a little authority over the cadets i'm in charge of in NCC. But the faith that he had was something i yet have. Praise the Lord for this story for it spurred me on to be one of firm faith. Not only that it taught me how exactly a leader should be like. A master yet also a servant.
