WHY HEALING IS YOURS – Sunday June 25th
2017
Memorise: But he was wounded
for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of
our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5
Read: Isaiah 53:3-5 (KJV)
53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and
acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was
despised, and we esteemed him not.
53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows:
yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised
for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his
stripes we are healed.
Bible in one year: Judges 20,
Jeremiah 52:12-23, Hymn: Sing hymn 5
MESSAGE:
In
life, what you tolerate goes a long way to determine what you go through, and
how you go through situations and circumstances. While God expects us to be
tolerant of the weaknesses, character defects and inadequacies of our fellow
human beings, He does not expect us to be tolerant of the devil and his tokens.
For this reason, in 1st Peter 5:9, we are commanded to
steadfastly resist the devil and his antics. In fact, we are even permitted to
be violent in our approach towards effectively resisting the devil (Matthew 11:12).
Whatever you allow in your life, stays, multiplies and may even dominate your
life! Never allow anything evil to come into your life or to continue to
hibernate in your life.
One
of the tokens of the liar that you must not allow is sickness. You should not
tolerate sickness because it hinders you from effectively serving God. Sickness
hinders and makes one an ineffective witness of Jesus Christ. Open Heavens 25
June 2017: Sunday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- Why healing is
yours. If you go out to preach about Christ and His
power and you are sick, some people will challenge your message, saying that
the power you attribute to Jesus should first be seen in your life before they
can believe. In addition, sickness hinders how we praise God. Isaiah 38:18-19
says only the living can praise God and not those in the grave. It is not easy
to praise God when your body is going through severe pain. Isaiah 53:5 says,
“But he was wounded for our
transgressions; he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our
peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”
Jesus
has already paid the price of our healing, and so when a believer remains sick,
it means that the suffering of Christ over that person is being wasted. Are you
sick? You cannot afford to remain sick. Receive your healing now in Jesus’
Name! Mark
9:23 says if only you believe, your healing can be delivered to you.
[Sunday June 25, 2017 open heavens].This means that your faith is being
challenged whenever you are sick. Do you have enough faith to appropriate the
sufferings of Christ over your situation in order to be healed? Beyond this,
God gave me a revelation that sickness does not only challenge our faith, it
also challenges our Lord Jesus Christ. Since He is the Author and Finisher of
our faith, when sickness challenges our faith, then it is the Author and
Finisher of our faith that is also being challenged (Hebrews 12:2). This season, your
healing will suddenly manifest and you will see the tokens of sickness no more.
Action Point
Father, since You have already
paid the price for my healing, I receive all-round healing today in Jesus’
Name.
