« Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” »
35 On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.”
36 Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him.
37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling.
38 But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?”
39 Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace,[ be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.
40 But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?”
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!”
What is a storm ?
Literally, a storm is a disturbance of the atmosphere marked by wind and some or a combination of the following: rain, snow, hail, sleet, or thunder and lightning.
- Figuratively however, a storm is a set of unpleasant circumstances that could result in some loss or the other.
Storms of life are in categories.
- They could be physical, spiritual, emotional, financial, material, political etc.
In our text, we read about the rising of a great storm that could have capsised the boat Jesus and His disciples were sailing in.
The Storm Stiller however, commanded that the storm should be still and it was so.
Today, we shall look at physical storms in terms of ill-health.
I pray that any storm of ill-health you may be battling is stilled now, in Jesus’ name.
In the story behind our memory verse of today, there was a man who suffered ill-health for thirty-eight years. His physical storm raged so long that he felt he was to die by the pool of Bethesda.
However, on that very day that he encountered the Storm Stiller, his story changed. Jesus Christ – the Storm Stiller asked him, John 5:6NKJV
« “Do you want to be made well?” »
The Almighty God is asking you today,
“Do you want to be healed?”
If your answer is “Yes,” then you must fulfil the condition for healing.
Divine healing is the ‘food’ meant for children according to Matthew 15:26.
Therefore, you must be sure you are genuinely born again because your sins must be forgiven before you can enjoy this divine blessing that will still your storm of ill-health.
When Jesus Christ wanted to still the storm of the young man that was suffering terribly from palsy, the Bible says in Matthew 9:2NKJV
« Then behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you.” »
This implies that you should repent of your sins and seek God’s forgiveness if you want Him to still the storm of ill health in your life.
As you heed His call today, every storm of ill health in your life will cease today, in Jesus’ name.
Prayer focus – Father, I receive my healing today, in Jesus’ name.
Prayer focus – Father, please empower me to overcome lust and temptations, in Jesus’ name.
