LESSON FROM A BIBLICAL ROMAN CENTURION

"And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,

6) And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

7) And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him." (Matthew 8:5 - 7)

"Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven." (Colossians 4:1)

The Bible is clear on how to treat our servants. 

Simply put, a just approach and equal opportunity. 

The centurion in the Bible verses above showed an example of a true master who loved his servants. 

Though an unbeliever, he demonstrated true and loving attitude towards his sick servant and Jesus healed him. 

Sir/Ma, how do you treat your servants? 

How do you treat people staying in your house? 

If we have truly surrendered our lives to Jesus Christ, it will definitely show in our relationship with others including our servants.

Being a servant doesn't make him/her less human. Show compassion! 

We kicked against slave trade with perfect hatred but we are now practicing modern day slavery under our noses. Why? 

Show a bit of compassion and love to all men including the servants.

God hates all forms of inhumanity and slavery. 

May the Lord deliver the helpless servants under many slave masters/mistresses in Jesus name.

Story of how LESTER SUMRALL met with HOWARD CARTER

LESTER Sumrall was a 20th century giant of faith, and worldwide missionary statesman, who demonstrated the power of the gospel in his pastoral and evangelical ministry. He also had a personal relationship with Smith Wigglesworth. And travelled widely with Howard Carter. This, culled from Dr. Sumrall's 'Pioneers of Faith', is the story of how he met Mr. Carter. It was 1932. Brother Lester was 19, and brother Howard was 41: I was sitting in a little church in Tennessee looking at the young man who was leading the music. Suddenly, the scene before me vanished, and I saw thousands of Japanese, Chinese, Lndians, Malaysians, Indonesians, Indians, Africans, Latin Americans, Europeans and people from the ocean islands on one road going one direction ...Trembling and crying, I asked, "What shall I do?" God said, "You have to go to these people." I said, "I don't like those people. I have never seen a Japanese person in my life. I don't know tho...

THE OLD CONVENANT IS A SHADOW OF THE NEW CONVENANT [pt 4] - Min. Awe Hilary

It is an interesting fact to know that 99.99% of most religions practiced today are imitations of either the Mosaic law as given to the Jews by God or idolatry as invented by men through the interface of spiritual entities as a way of worship. Idol worship and the Mosaic law are the oldest well known religious institutions that have existed on the earth. The Mosaic law which is the Old Convenant is a shadow of the New Convenant which could not come into effect as long as the law was still in place. Hebrews 9:8 [AMP]: By this the Holy Spirit signifies that the way into the Holy Place [the true Holy of Holies and the presence of God] has not yet been disclosed as long as the first or outer tabernacle is still standing [that is, as long as the Levitical system of worship remains a recognized institution]. More also, if the Old Convenant is a shadow of the New Convenant, then it signifies that they both have One Spirit [The Spirit of God], same pattern with different realities but one purp...
