HIS PROMISE OF HEALTH & PROTECTION

-

Psalms 91:2-3

This I declare about the Lord: 

He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.

For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.


One of the privileges we enjoy as God's own is protection from the devices or traps of the enemy another is protection from deadly diseases.


In Mark 16:18 when Jesus was about to leave the earth physically, He gave us who believe the great mandate and also stated some privileges we will have:


Mark 16:15-18

And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.

Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned.

These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages.

They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.”


Some say it ended with the first disciples or after the death of the apostles, I do not agree for in John 17 Christ said:


John 17:20

“I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message.


So the proclamation includes you. Halleluyah


The same way the promises revealed by the prophets of old includes you if you see it in the light of the Word. Who is the Word? Christ. Halleluyah.


Let me bring this to your notice, there are so many deliverances and healings the Lord has done for You over the years that you are not aware of. See, we cannot be too careful, do you know how many poisonous substances we have breathed from our polluted atmosphere?

Do we know the source of all the eatables that go through your mouth?

What of the water we drink or the ones that touch our skin, or particles that enter through our eyes or nose?

What of the intentional and unintentional traps against us by humans controlled by the evil one? 

The list is a lot. 

It is good to appreciate the Heavenly Father.


Psalms 1:6a

For the Lord watches over the path of the godly


So as we go on this year, let us have these promises in our hearts, it has been given to us. 


However, that does not mean we tempt God by living careless lives or taking unnecessary risks.


The Lord has promised:


Hebrews 13:5b

“I will never fail you. 

    I will never abandon you.”


Yes, the Lord never fails on His part it is we humans that always break agreements.


Lord, thank You for rescuing me from every trap and all deadly diseases, glory to Your name Dear Father.


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
