POWER PROJECT | KNOWING JESUS; THE HEALING OF THE OFFICER'S SON

THE HEALING OF THE OFFICER'S SON: JOHN 4:46-55 

Nathaniel Bassey: Jesus came AGAIN into cana of Galilee. Reading verse 45, it says the Galileans received him.....

Remember he had to leave another city – Nazareth because of their dishonour and unbelief. Creating an atmosphere of honour and faith for the Lord and those he has sent, prepares the ground for miracles. He also came to the same place that He turned water to wine. Jesus delights in solving problems. Never tire of bringing them to him. If he did it before he'll do it again. 

The officer asked him to come down to the house but Jesus preferred to speak the word. Most of us would have gone down there being an OFFICER. Oh may we be so led by the Spirit that we would know exactly what to do regardless of the character of those involved.

Any 'wonder' always succeeded. “Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe". Signs and wonders are meant to draw men to God, and to give Him glory.

Verse 50, Jesus said: “…Thy son liveth” and not “thy son will live”. Sometimes in administering healing, we call those things that are not as though they were. In this case we see an instant healing. At other times folks were healed as they went their way. The officer on inspection confirmed from his servants that the healing took place the very moment Jesus gave the word. One thing you find from Jesus is that HE had different ways of ministering to folks. This typifies the life of a Spirit led person. The wind bloweth where it listeth, you cannot tell where it comes and where it comes or goes…(John 3:8)

Amaka Serita: …Lord Jesus, I believe. Help my unbelief. Help my inability. Help my not conforming to your image. Help my laxity and preference to walk in my natural senses rather than trusting you all the way. Help my reluctance to take steps of faith based On your words. Help my quick resolve to reasoning anytime you speak. Help my fear of the unknown. Help me Lord. I don't want to continue sinking Lord! Help! It's so obvious now that I know little or nothing of you. I need You Lord.
