HEALED THROUGH OBEDIENCE – Monday August 22nd
2016
Memorise: His mother saith
unto the savants, whatever he saith unto you do it. John 2:5
Read: 2nd Kings
5:9-14, (KJV)
10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash
in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt
be clean.
11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I
thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the Lord his
God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.
12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better
than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he
turned and went away in a rage.
13 And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said,
My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not
have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?
14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in
Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again
like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
Bible in one year: Isaiah
45:14-48:22, Psalms 39
MESSAGE
Every
genuine child of God has a covenant right of divine health amongst other
things. When I became born again, I did not believe in divine healing and I
used to say that those pastors preaching about divine healing were looking for
whom to kill. It was the testimony of an old man who shared how he challenged
the devil who was mocking him in his sickness that made me to believe that
divine healing is possible. In Exodus 15:26, God said:
“I am the Lord
that healeth thee”.
The
one asking you not to fear is the original physician. The storms of sicknesses
and disease are much more dangerous than any other form of attack against
humanity. Diseases and sicknesses have different durations in the human body.
There are some that last a few days and there are some that last for years.
God’s ultimate plan for His children is to live a life that is not afflicted
with sickness. He is interested in our wellbeing. Healing is possible and it
can be obtained through faith and in obedience to the Word of God.

Heavens 22 August 2016:- Healed Through Obedience
When
one is suffering from one form of sickness or the other, it affects other
things. It drains the finances of its victim and causes stagnation. There are
many colourful dreams that have been aborted as a result of sickness. There are
many wealthy people who have become poor because a sickness drained their
finances. The anointing of Jesus Christ is to destroy all that God has not
planted in your life. Jesus came to destroy the yoke of sickness and this is
why I want you to know that your case is not impossible with Jesus. However,
there are certain instructions that you may have to work with if you want your
miracle to be permanent.
Our
Bible passage reveals that story of the Syrian army officer who was highly
ranked but was suffering from a particular sickness. The man of God asked him
to go and wash in the Jordan River seven times for him to be healed of his
sickness. It took the intervention of a God-sent messenger for his to access
his miracles. He would have lost the miracle of healing that he had been longing
for. He saw the instruction as ridiculous. I have seen over and over again that
instructions that look very simple are always ignored by people, yet, it is the
secret required for their breakthrough. The officer though the river was too
dirty for him and he began to list many exclusive rivers, but the man of God
was specific about the river and the number of times he had to enter the river.
Obedience
to the instruction of God is very crucial to the release of our miracles in
life. This man dipped himself into the Jordan River six times and nothing
happened. It wasn’t until he entered the seventh time that his skin became
changed and he received his healing. He dipped himself into the river and his
flesh became like that of a baby. 22 August 2016 open heavens
Why
are you still in that problem? Could it be that there are certain instructions
given to you and you have not obeyed or your obedience has not been complete?
You need to check yourself. The miracle you need is right beside you; just do
what Jesus has asked of you and you will see your miracle being delivered
without further delay.
Prayer Point
Father, remove every
self-inflicted hindrance to my miracle in Jesus’ name.
