SICKNESS IS A CURSE

SICKNESS IS A CURSE

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
Galatians 3:13 (KJV)

This point is important you understand that sickness is a curse. It is a curse that came as a result of sin. Genesis 2:16-17 says, ‘16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.’ Just as we have established already that sickness and disease are instruments of death. So when the punishment of sin was pronounced as death, sickness and disease were included in that death package. Beloved, sickness/disease is a curse of sin, don’t play around it. Don’t explain it away. Sickness is not a scientific discovery. A thousand times No! Then came the curse of the law. First was the curse of disobedience, then secondly the curse of the law. The curse of disobedience came with death punishment and sickness was inside that death package. However, the curse of the law came with mentions that inexplicably draws the line for all to see what to expect when you do not comply with the law of Yahweh.

THE ORIGIN OF SICKNESS

THE ORIGIN OF SICKNESS

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Romans 5:12 (KJV)

Wherever you see death, just know that included in that death package is sickness and disease. Sickness and disease are instruments of death. That is why, you must not treat the issues of your physical health with levity. When a person sees headache for instance (Yahweh forbid, not you), that person is being toasted by death. It is the spirit of death that is knocking and depending on how you handle that seemingly harmless headache, will determine if you will join your forefathers in the grave (Yahweh forbid, not you). But we are saying that to say that sickness and disease are just the effects of a cause – sin. In Genesis chapters one and two, there was no mention of sin and consequently no sickness. But when sin came in Genesis chapter three, death was birthed and when he death came, he brought his agents, sickness and disease. It is the offence of one Adam that brought sickness and disease and death. All glory to Yahweh, because that is not the end of the story.

HOW DO I LIVE IN DIVINE HEALTH COVENANTLY (7): BY THE COMMUNION

HOW DO I LIVE IN DIVINE HEALTH COVENANTLY (7): BY THE COMMUNION

As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
John 6:57 (KJV)

The Communion is a miracle meal. It is a spiritual meal. It is a supernatural meal. The Communion is the ordinance of the flesh and blood of Yahushua. During the Last Supper the Lord Yahushua established this sacrament as they were eating, He took bread, blessed it, broke it and gave to his disciples and said “Take, eat; this is my body.” (see Matthew 26:26). Now please recognize that there is nothing special about the bread that Yahushua took. In fact, it was part of the meal that they were eating. But the moment He took it, blessed it and said those words, it became His body. Like many of Yahweh’s dealings with us, the Communion is a spiritual supernatural ordinance, don’t ever try to figure it out with your natural mind. When you try to figure spiritual truths with your natural mind, you will go into error. Matthew 26:27-28 says, ‘27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.’ This ordinance of taking the body and blood of Yahushua is what is called the Communion.

HOW DO I LIVE IN DIVINE HEALTH COVENANTLY (6): REACH OUT TO THE POOR

Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
Psalms 41:1 [KJV]

Let us read the context of our opening text. We continue from verse 2, Psalms 41:2-3 says, “2 The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. 3 The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.” To consider the poor is to think and act on the welfare of the poor; to look at the poor and circumspect his income and its impact on his well-being and from that knowledge act to mitigate their hardship. Just considering the poor is a covenant action that commits El-Shaddai to your health among other things. In the days that you are challenged in your health, what you have done for the poor can speak for you. This was the exact story of that precious woman called Dorcas in Acts 9:36-41. Job’s outreach to the poor was one of the reasons that Yahweh surrounded him with a hedge of protection so that the enemy could not assault him and his family. Your openhandedness to the poor is a strategic key to maintaining your covenant health package. This is wisdom and very crucial.

HOW DO I LIVE IN DIVINE HEALTH COVENANTLY (5): LIVE WITH A MERRY HEART

HOW DO I LIVE IN DIVINE HEALTH COVENANTLY (5): LIVE WITH A MERRY HEART

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.Proverbs 17;22 (KJV)

According to WHO (https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/depression) “Depression is a leading cause of disability worldwide and is a major contributor to the overall global burden of disease.” Depression is simply a sad feeling of gloom and inadequacy. It is that feeling you get when a merry heart is absent. Joy (merry heart) is the fruit of the recreated human spirit that intoxicates the human heart with the presence of Yahweh and brings optimism that is not based on the things of this world. Joy (a merry heart) is medicine and is vital in maintaining your divine health package. You see Yahweh is a very wise God – the only wise God (see I Timothy 1:17). In His wisdom, eternal life came inherent in it all the qualities that is required to maintain the health of man. See Galatians 5:22-23 to understand all that eternal life came with. Joy is part of that package and it takes that joy to secrete all the nutrients to all the parts of your body with maximum benefits. No matter what you eat, without joy, it will never benefit your body. So joy ensures that your food profits your body by producing that secretion needed to digest and assimilate into vital parts of your body. That is why a merry heart is good medicine. It is both curative and preventive.

HOW DO I LIVE IN DIVINE HEALTH COVENANTLY (4): LIVE BY THE WORD

HOW DO I LIVE IN DIVINE HEALTH COVENANTLY (4): LIVE BY THE WORD

For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
Proverbs 4:22 (KJV)

The Word of Yahweh is the life of the new creation. You must understand that the new creation is not a normal human being. He is only a human being because his body was not changed but he is divine because his spirit was recreated and the spirit is the core of the existence of man. The new creation is a supernatural being powered by the Word of Yahweh. I Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” That means that the Word of Yahweh is what recreated us and imparted His life in us. The new creation is a direct product of the Word. There is a law that says that the source determines the sustenance. That means that if the Word was the source of the new creation, it would take living by the Word to sustain that divine life in our earthen vessels. The Word forms spiritual supernatural immune system in your body and around your life and destiny against any assault of the devil. To live in divine health, you have a part to play. That is why our topic is how to live in divine health covenantly. Covenant connotes that it is an agreement between two parties with obligations on both parties’ sides. Your side of the deal is to eat the Word and to live by it. Yahweh’s side of the deal is to ensure that the life of the Word flows into your body and into every area of your life, effecting what it talks about. If there is any failure, then, we all would agree that it is not Yahweh’s. It must be with us. We know that because Psalms 89:34 says, “My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.”

HOW DO I LIVE IN DIVINE HEALTH COVENANTLY (3): BE FRUITFUL

HOW DO I LIVE IN DIVINE HEALTH COVENANTLY (3): BE FRUITFUL

Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
John 15:2 (KJV)

This purging is supernatural health maintenance system of heaven and it is solely reserved for those who are fruitful. To be fruitful means to produce after your kind. You were once a sinner, then someone talked to you about your lost state; the fact that everyone without the Saviour is liable to the lake of fire at the end of time. When Adam sinned, he died. That was eternal separation from Yahweh. But the redemption price has been paid by Yahushua HaMashiach and salvation is available today for everyone that believe. Someone probably explained that to you which you believed. When you believed, you became a new creation; a born again person. The person that preached to you became your father-in-the-Lord; that is the person that has begotten you in the Lord. That person has become fruitful in produces after his/her kind. A born again person should beget another born again person. The only commission our Master Yahushua gave us at His exit is found in Mark 16:15-16 which says, “15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved? but he that believeth not shall be damned.”

HOW DO I LIVE IN DIVINE HEALTH COVENANTLY (2): SERVICE

HOW DO I LIVE IN DIVINE HEALTH COVENANTLY (2): SERVICE

And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
Exodus 23:25 (KJV)

We were saved to serve. The Lord Yahushua said that He was among His disciples as one that serves (see Luke 22:27). As the Father sent Him, so has He sent us (see John 20:21). He was sent to serve, He has also sent us to serve. How did Yahushua maintain His divine Health package? By taking his place in service. Acts 10:38 says, ‘How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.’ That is service, isn’t it? Yahushua was going long distances just to bring the people the gospel of the Kingdom. We saw that Yahushua was committed to the gospel. Serving Yahweh in soul winning is about the best service that you can render now to the Lord. Yahweh has done everything that is required to save humanity, but unfortunately many people have not heard of this yet. Anyone that is committed to spreading the gospel and turning many to righteousness is performing one of the highest form of service and Yahweh sees to it that you are in health. John 15:2 says, ‘Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.’ Yahweh will see that you are purged of any form of impurities that could likely break down your system.

HOW DO I LIVE IN DIVINE HEALTH COVENANTLY (1): WALK IN LOVE

HOW DO I LIVE IN DIVINE HEALTH COVENANTLY (1): WALK IN LOVE

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
Mark 12:30 [KJV]

From today to a couple of days coming, we shall be talking about how to maintain our divine health package. You have a divine health package in HaMashiach because he took your infirmities and carried your sorrows (see 1 Peter 2:24). If he has taken it away, then he left you with divine health. Why do we call it divine health? Because it is a product of divine life. Eternal life that Yahushua HaMashiach brought, comes with it a health and well-being that no sickness can break. It is important that you recognize that eternal life was what you received at salvation. Eternal life is Yahweh’s kind of life. Can Yahweh be sick? Yahushua HaMashiach was the expression of Yahweh in human flesh. Was it ever recorded that Yahushua was sick? That life that was at work in Yahushua HaMashiach is the same that you received at salvation. That life can never be sick. That life is immune to the torments that the elements of this world has to offer. Most times, it takes our being exposed for us to be attacked. We expose ourselves when we don’t walk by the Word of Yahweh. We expose ourselves when we neglect the provisions of the Word and tend to do our own thing. But as long as we abide by the Word, it is impossible for sickness to break through eternal life immune system to afflict you with sickness.

WHAT IS DIVINE HEALTH?

WHAT IS DIVINE HEALTH?

And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
Isaiah 33:24 [KJV]

It is important we define our main subject because it is difficult to find what we can’t define. What exactly is divine health? The truth is that the coinage “divine health” is not in the Bible. Some have said that divine health is living in a state of no sickness in your body. However, that definition is narrow because divine health is much more. Divine health is not a function of the physical body alone. We shall define divine health as a state of wellness spirit, soul and body by the power of Yahweh in Yahushua HaMashiach. Divine health came as a function of salvation of the soul in Yahushua HaMashiach. It may surprise you to learn that salvation is all about deliverance, protection, healing, preservation and wholeness. These words are what defines the root word translated salvation.
