RECEIVE YOUR HEALING (6): BY AGREEMENT PRAYER
Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 18:19 (KJV)
Prayer of agreement is coming into agreement with your brethren with regards to your healing. It is coming to a point of faith with anyone that is available to pray with you and both of you or all of you coming to a common conclusion of faith concerning the matter agreed upon and prayed upon. When such unity in the spirit is established, then you have an assurance from the Word of Yahweh that whatever you people agreed will be done by our heavenly Father. If you are attacked by sickness, then find someone with whom you can come into unity of faith and agree concerning your healing. The only issue with this method is that you must be in unity of faith for you to have what you prayed for. Reverend Kenneth E. Hagin narrated a story of a woman that came to him to agree with her concerning her healing. So he prayed with this dear sister and they agreed that she is now healed and said Amen! Then Pa Hagin said after they opened their eyes “Sister is it done?” She then said “Brother Hagin, I sure hope it is.” Pa Hagin said to her, “it isn’t, It isn’t. I’m believing and you’re hoping. There is no agreement here. It didn’t work.” Do you see what we are talking about. You must find that one person that will agree with you in faith, not someone that if you are believing, the person will be hoping. There is no agreement in such situation.

RECEIVE YOUR HEALING (2): BY THE ANOINTING OIL
Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
James 5:15 (KJV)
The ways of Yahweh are surely higher than our ways (see Isaiah 55:9). Finite human mind sometimes wants to understand the omniscience of Yahweh and that is what most times short-circuits him from the power of Yahweh. It is obedience to the Word of Yahweh that commands results to the believer not trying to figure Yahweh out. Yahweh may not be making sense to your little sense but His power is activated upon obedience to that seemingly nonsense instruction. The Anointing Oil is a medium through which the Holy Spirit flows to touch lives. Yahweh commands prophets to administer this mystery of the Anointing Oil and upon obedience, the Spirit of Yahweh comes upon the object and consecrates it. In the Old Testament, the Anointing Oil was specially formulated according to Yahweh’s instruction in Exodus 30:22-38. No other person is permitted to make such formulation or use it. Upon anything that the Holy Anointing Oil comes, it consecrates, setting it apart for Yahweh’s use. In I Samuel 16:13 the Word says, ‘Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.’ It was the oil that Prophet Samuel poured on David but upon that oil coming in contact with David, the Spirit of the Lord came upon him.

RECEIVE YOUR HEALING (1) BY CASTING OUT THE EVIL SPIRIT RESPONSIBLE
And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
Luke 13:16 (KJV)
From all we have learnt so far, it is obvious that sickness is from Satan. It does not matter the name the laboratory gave it, it is called the spirit of infirmity and it can manifest with so many names. The Lord Yahushua came into the house of Peter and saw Peter’s wife’s mother sick with what the doctor or laboratory called fever but when the Lord Yahushua touched her the fever left. (see Matthew 8:14-15). That shows you that it was a spirit behind that fever and it was the spirit that left and when it did, the resultant fever was gone too (see Luke 4:38-39). In Mark 9:17-27, we saw a person dumb and deaf but when the Lord Yahushua attended to him, we saw that it was a spirit of dumb and deaf that held him in bondage. In the laboratory, it was discovered that he was dumb and deaf maybe because of physical malfunction of organs but without any medical solution when that evil spirit responsible for that condition was cast out, he was able to speak and hear. Littered in scripture are examples that shows us that whatever your condition that it is the spirit of infirmity behind that operation and manipulation.
HAS THE THIEF STOLEN YOUR HEALTH?

HAS THE THIEF STOLEN YOUR HEALTH?
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
John 10:10 (KJV)
You must stop explaining away your health condition. If you are sick today, recognize that sickness implies that the thief has stolen your health. Sickness is your health stolen by Satan, the thief. It is not because of cold or the weather. It is the devil, the thief, prowling about taking what does not belong to him. In Igbo language, Satan is ‘ekwensu.’ That is instructive because it means literally “ikwe ya esu” that is “if you agree, it would start raging” That is to say that until you agree with the terms of Satan, he is powerless and all his activities and wickedness cannot start raging in your life. You can say “Satan get lost now, my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, I curse your manoeuvrings and manipulations against my body now, get out in Yahushua’s name Amen” and that halts all his agenda against you. But you could also just be mute like a nepios and the devil will have a field day in tormenting your physical body.

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 (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.
THANKFUL HEART FOR JULY 2023

THANKFUL HEART FOR JULY 2023
And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.Luke 17:19 [KJV]
One of the striking things about our opening text is the fact that thanksgiving and praise provokes perfection of blessing. This is all the more important, because July is the month of rest and perfection. On the seventh month, the ark rested upon the mountain of Ararat (Genesis 8:4). On the seventh day the Lord rested from his work, therefore blessed he the seventh day and hallowed it (see Genesis 2:2-3). Today’s text shows us how to walk in a life of practical rest, wholeness and perfection. If you have started seeing the move of Yahweh at all in your life, then there is what to do to see the full bloom of that move. If you have started seeing the healing and strength like you have not seen before, then there is this one thing to concentrate on to see the fullness of that which Yahweh has started. That one thing is heart-felt thanksgiving and praise. Some even though Yahweh is on their case and working to bring them out of their predicament have turned him off by continuous murmuring, grumbling and complaining. You applied for a job, you were called for interviewed amidst hundreds of others. Just seeing the crowd that turned up for the interviewed ignited unbelief in you, “there is no how I stand a chance among so many”, then you continue with murmuring as usual. However, the fact that you were invited for interview is the hand of Yahweh at work in your favour which if you had noticed it and overflowed with thanksgiving, then it would be impossible for you not to have the job.

RENDER ACCEPTABLE PRAISE (2): BY LIVING WITH A JOYFUL HEART
Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
James 5:13 (KJV)
What makes praise melodious or noise to Yahweh is the heart from where it is emanating. II Chronicles 16:9 says that the eyes of the LORD runs to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. A king Amaziah did what was right but not with a perfect heart, so what he did was discounted (see II Chronicles 25:2). It is only praise that comes from a merry heart that is satisfactory. You are not qualified to sing until your heart is merry. Until you are full of joy or showing high-spirited playfulness, you are not qualified to sing. If you have followed the devotional from first of June, you would have seen that real praise can only be done from a joyful, grateful heart. It goes most times with demonstrations, like Yadah, would require you to throw your hands up in adoration; halal will require you to praise with reckless abandon and be clamorously foolish in both your eyes and that of others. You can never do those things, if you are depressed or moody. The foundation and requirement for acceptable praise is a joyful grateful heart. Until that is in place, it is noise that you are making before the Lord. You can sing without actually praising Yahweh. Many people sing for different reasons and with different motives in their hearts, which make their songs of no effect.
OBSTACLES TO ACCESSING THE WORD (4): EVIL HEART OF UNBELIEF

OBSTACLES TO ACCESSING THE WORD (4): EVIL HEART OF UNBELIEF
Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
Hebrews 3:12 (KJV)
Unbelief can hinder your access to the Word. Unbelief is an evil heart. Every release from the Lord is on the basis that you believe. If you believe no evidence is needed; if you don’t believe no evidence is sufficient. Unbelief places you where there is no other evidence that can satisfy your curiosity. Unbelief makes Yahweh a liar before you. That is why it’s evil. Unbelief is a great sin, it vitiates the heart of man. If faith is the only basis and link to connect with Yahweh, then you are eternally disconnected from the life of Yahweh in unbelief. The Word will become to you the words of a tail that has no relationship with reality. Evil heart of unbelief leads you to depart from the living Elohim and His Word. This kind of unbelief that hinder us from the Word is not the kind of unbelief that we see in Psalms 14:1, ‘The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.’ This kind of unbelief do believe that there is God but that is all there is to his faith. This evil heart of unbelief does not take Yahweh at His Word. The evidence of faith in the Word is action. When you do not act in line with the Word, no matter what you are saying, you do not believe. In time, your evil heart of unbelief will cause you to depart from the living God.
