HE STILL HEALS

-

Matthew 8:1-3

Large crowds followed Jesus as he came down the mountainside.

Suddenly, a man with leprosy approached him and knelt before him. “Lord,” the man said, “if you are willing, you can heal me and make me clean.”

Jesus reached out and touched him. “I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!” And instantly the leprosy disappeared.


Some have lost faith in the healing power of Christ in this generation, owing to many reasons, one of them being the false claims of some and the staging of miracles we see on our media.


One thing we must be clear about is that spiritual things are not about our mere feelings. For believe goes beyond a feeling or emotion. It is a conviction.


Some sects have even gone as far as saying that healings and miracles ended with the first apostles. This is definitely NOT true.


All believers at one time or another have experienced the healing hand of God consciously or unconsciously, it is conscious at the times when we are aware of the symptoms or have been diagnosed of it. 


1 Peter 2:24

He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.


We must also be reminded that unbelieve can also prevent healing, for many a problem some have that bars them from enjoying God's grace, is their abundance of philosophy. That wisdom you think you have can block you from enjoying God's kingdom on earth. For those philosophical resisting of God is actually pride:


Matthew 18:4

So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.


Matthew 13:15

For the hearts of these people are hardened, and their ears cannot hear, and they have closed their eyes— so their eyes cannot see, 

and their ears cannot hear, and their hearts cannot understand, 

and they cannot turn to me and let me heal them.’


Yes there are a lot of lies out there, many are seeking for gullible people to extort, yet the Lord is still in the business of healing. If you are a believer know that you are also empowered to provoke His healing.


It is a season of healing. May our land also be healed.


We still plead, Thy kingdom come O Lord, Thy will be done on earth.


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
