“And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.”
Matthew 8:5-7(KJV)
Our opening scripture is a manifestation of the goodness of God to the needs of man. It tells us about a centurion who came to Jesus telling Him his servant is sick at home. But Jesus showing His concern, cuts in and said, “I will come and heal him.” Showing us that Jesus was willing to go to the man's house to heal his servant.
Jesus did not consider the stress, or how long it will take Him to walk to the man's house. He didn't say to the centurion, “Do I have to come to your house? Why don't you just believe?” No. Jesus said, “I will come and heal him.” I want you to understand that Jesus is showing us God's attitude to our needs.
God is concerned about you. God is a good God, and He is always willing to heal you and do you good. You have to know that we are in God's now season. In other words, whatever was a promise in the Old Testament, is now a reality in the New Testament because of what Jesus has accomplished for us.
The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 1:20, “For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.” The Contemporary English Version(CEV) puts it this way, “Christ says "Yes" to all of God's promises. That's why we have Christ to say "Amen" for us to the glory of God.”
Therefore, because Jesus Christ has died and rose again from the dead, all the promises of the Old Testament are now for your benefit and you can receive them right now including your healing. Praise God.
Prayer.
Dear Father, I thank you for your goodness and loving-kindness towards me. Am daily working in the blessing, and in the finished works of Christ in Jesus Name. Amen.
