Prayer Focus: Under Authority
Scripture:Matthew 8:8-9
[8]The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
[9]For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
INTRODUCTION.
The centurion understand that Christ was commissioned by a greater power that is powerful enough to ensure that anything He wants to do can be made possible by the Authority He is submitted to, which is God Almighty. This is what the enemy does not want you to know by causing you to be rebellious to the authority of Christ, so that when you are in his trap, there will be no help from above.
How to submit under the Authority of Christ.
1. Receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal saviour. (By confessing with your mouth His Lordship and believing it in your heart)
2. Surrender yourself as a living sacrifice.
3. Obedience to the commands and teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ.
