The authority in Jesus Name is absolute – Daily Devotion | 30th August 2022.

The authority in Jesus Name is absolute.

“Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum. And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die. And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant. And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this: for he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue. Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof: wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed. For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers,and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.”

Luke 7:1‭-‬10 KJV

– Jesus was ready to go to the house of the Centurion and heal the servant, this would have taken some time.

– The Centurion however remembered the authority invested on Jesus. He remembered he didn’t need to always leave his office to get things done in the town under him, at other times a word would do.

– Authority necessities thoroughness and speed.

“The authority in Jesus Name is absolute and has things done unto perfection ( the boy was completely made whole) and with speed ( immediately before the servants arrived.)”
