HEALING

-
Matthew 8:17
This fulfilled the word of the Lord through the prophet Isaiah, who said,
“He took our sicknesses and removed our diseases.”

Will there be a need for healing if people do not get sick? No. Thus it is not that ailments will not rise, what the bible teaches is that His healing is available. It is when Christ returns that He rid the earth of all ailments.

Someone would say, those Christ healed were not saved. Hmm, hello the disciples even Paul talked of some of believers who were ill.

2 Timothy 4:20
Erastus stayed at Corinth, and I left Trophimus sick at Miletus.

Philippians 2:26-28
I am sending him because he has been longing to see you, and he was very distressed that you heard he was ill.
And he certainly was ill; in fact, he almost died. But God had mercy on him—and also on me, so that I would not have one sorrow after another.
So I am all the more anxious to send him back to you, for I know you will be glad to see him, and then I will not be so worried about you.

So is it God's will that we should be sick, NO, however no matter how anointed or spiritual you are the human body degrades by default and the developing world brings with it things that are against perfect health. Thus the need to maintain hygiene and good health practices.

See, the fact that you are of good health should not make you think you are better than another, there are varying reasons why people get sick. Thank God for your own health, and in it still be careful, don't misuse your body.

Yet in all the Lord says He will heal us, yes, prayers, laying on of hands, anointing with oil, taking water or even a natural or synthesized drug could bring your healing, God can work in any of these ways.

No matter what we have experienced, heard of, or our philosophy, Christ is still the rapha, He heals!

There are also varying reasons why this person or that person doesn't get healed, that doesn't change Christ's healing power. . .  we only know in part. . .

As we learnt in our previous study, willingness is also involved.

No matter what, let nothing shake your faith in Christ's healing power.

Lord, we trust you for good health, we know your stripes were received that we should not remain in sickness. We receive grace to be of good health. Thank you Lord.

He calls us blessed.

Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
