YOU SHOULD RESIST SICKNESS

Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
I Peter 5:9 (KJV)

The devil is a very stubborn creature. He is never tired of trying even though he knows that he is a defeated foe. But the truth is so many people don’t even know that the devil is a defeated foe. He capitalizes on their ignorance to lord it over them in almost all areas of life. When you see how people even in the Church talk about the devil, witches, wizards with such holy splendour, you will understand why they are still under his operation and oppression. Please understand that Satan has no more power to hurt and harm you. The power that the devil wields today is the force of ignorance. With you is the power that the devil cannot attempt resident inside you – the power of the Holy Spirit. You have at least four weapons that Yahweh has given you with which you can dominate the devil anytime any day. You are called to resist the devil. Satan is prowling, so he can come across you in his wanderings as a mad dog. But one shout of “eeeeeeeeehhh” checks him back to hell. That is the problem of the nepios, he has not trained himself to speak, so he is helpless before the wickedness of this mad devil.

First weapon is the greater one that lives in you. I John 4:4 says, ‘Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.’ The Holy Spirit is that greater one that is in you. Acts 1:8 says, ‘But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:’ so what came upon you at the baptism of the Holy Spirit is Power (dunamis). You are powerful beloved. You are more powerful than a dynamite. The presence and power of the Holy Spirit inside of you is able to give life to your mortal body. So whenever you sense anything in your body, engage the Holy Spirit to quicken your mortal body (see Romans 8:11). Secondly, you have the weapon of the name of Yahushua. You have the power of attorney to use the NAME OF YAHUSHUA. In Mark 16:17-18, the Lord Yahushua gave you the power of attorney to use His Name, ‘And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.’ If you are defeated, it is just your fault because you are too loaded to be dared by Satan.

REMAINING A NEPIOS IS THE PROBLEM

REMAINING A NEPIOS IS THE PROBLEM

Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
Galatians 4:3 (KJV)

Why are people who are born again; who have received eternal life into their spirit, who are heirs of Yahweh and joint-heirs with HaMashiach sick, afflicted and oppressed in their physical bodies? This is a question that comes up every time and thank Yahweh, we have light in the Word of Yahweh that answers it. Our opening text in context answers that question. Galatians 4:1 says, ‘Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;’ The born again person is an heir of Yahweh but as long as he is a child is not different from a slave. Tutors and house-helps can talk to him anyhow and order him around. Why? Because he is a child. The Greek word used is nepios meaning one who is immature, one that is simple-minded, one that is easily convinced; one that does not know how to speak. The elements of the world imply those things that are prevalent in the world; which include environmental hazards, effects of climatic changes, plagues, pandemics, sicknesses and diseases, etc. As long as you remain a child you are in bondage under the elements of the world. But you shouldn’t be because you are not of the world though you are in the world (see John17:16). You have been raised with Yahushua HaMashiach and seated in the heavenly places in HaMashiach and with HaMashiach. But because you don’t know it and is immature in speech, you cannot rule over the elements.

YAHWEH HAS DONE SOMETHING ABOUT SICKNESS ALREADY

YAHWEH HAS DONE SOMETHING ABOUT SICKNESS ALREADY

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
Matthew 8:17 (KJV)

It is comforting to note that Yahweh is not waiting for you to be afflicted with sickness before providing you with cure. No! Yahweh has already done something about sickness. Sickness is the fallout of sin and sin has been taken out of the way, same with its effect of sickness. Sin and death has been abolished (see II Tim. 1:10) and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. That means that you should not be sick any other day of your time on earth because eternal life and immortality is at work in you in Yahushua HaMashiach. Death has been abolished. The agents of death, sickness and disease has been permanently disabled in your life. These are not fairy-tales beloved, these words are the truth of the matter.

SHALL NOT SAY ‘I AM SICK.’

SHALL NOT SAY ‘I AM SICK.’

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

There are two truths we are going to establish today. First is that you are born into a Kingdom called Zion. The place where you were translated at new birth is a place called Zion. The context of our text today is Isaiah 33:20 which says, “Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.” It is the inhabitants of Zion that shall not say I am sick. Please understand that this Zion is a spiritual city not a physical place. It is a spiritual city where the Lord Yahushua rules as King. That is the place you were born into when you were born again. Hebrews 12:22-24 collaborated this same truth, “22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.” The forces dwelling in Zion makes it impossible for you to be sick. If you get the revelation of your dwelling, you can never be sick another second of your life because it is practically impossible for you to dwell in Zion and be ravaged by sickness.

THE TRUTH VERSUS THE FACTS

THE TRUTH VERSUS THE FACTS

For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
John 1:17 (KJV)

Not differentiating between the fact and the truth will keep you bound to sickness. On the surface, they seem to mean the same thing but are actually very different. While a fact is the description of the state of a thing, the truth is the reality of a thing. The truth is always constant, but the fact changes based on the prevailing situation. Water, for example, is said to have three states: solid, liquid and gaseous states. Depending on the temperature, the state changes. That’s how a fact is. It is so unreliable. It may be a fact that your body temperature is high, but the truth is that you are healed by His stripes (see I Peter 2:24). That you have not carried your own baby does not make you barren. The Bible says, ‘No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land’ (Exo.23:26). Again the Bible says in Deut.7:14, ‘You shall be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be a male or female barren among you or among your livestock.’

SICKNESS IS A CURSE

#WordForTodayDevotional

Monday September 11, 2023

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

#WordForTodayDevotional

Sunday September 10, 2023

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

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

#WordForTodayDevotional

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.
