Memorize: Exodus 15:26 Good News Translations (GNT)
« He said, “If you will obey me completely by doing what I consider right and by keeping my commands, I will not punish you with any of the diseases that I brought on the Egyptians. I am the LORD, the one who heals you.” »
Read: Psalms 103:2-3 New King James Versions (NKJV)
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits:
3 Who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases.
Message:
Are you aware that it is possible for you, your friends and family members never to fall sick again?
Yes, it is.
For over forty years, the Lord has been my healer and He can be yours too.
According to today’s memory verse, anyone who lives holy will become so dear to God that He will ensure they are never ill again.
Imagine being free from all pains that sickness brings, imagine never having to spend on hospital bills ever again.
God says it is possible if you begin to live holy and have faith in His healing powers.
The Gospels give numerous accounts of how Jesus healed people of different infirmities and illnesses including blindness, deafness, leprosy, seizures and paralysis.
He even raised dead people to life!
Matthew 8:16NLT says:
« That evening many demon-possessed people were brought to Jesus. He cast out the evil spirits with a simple command, and he healed all the sick. »
Notice the word all in the above Bible verse. He has the power to heal any sickness. The only thing that can stop you from having divine health is sin.
Beloved, I encourage you to run away from sin like you would from a plague.
« Later, Jesus met the man in the temple and told him, “You are now well. But don’t sin anymore or something worse might happen to you. »
John 5:14 CEV
Jesus advice to the man at the pool of Bethesda is quite instructive.
We can conclude that if he had been living a holy life before, he wouldn’t have had to waste thirty-eight years of his life in the pain and discomfort of sickness.
It is very likely that after hearing Jesus warning, he would have avoided sin every way he could. However, he had already wasted thirty-eight years of his life which could not be recovered.
You don’t have to waste any period of your life nursing a sickness; Jesus has made you an offer: avoid sin from today and begin to live in divine health.
Key point: Sickness, more often than not is a by-product of sin.
