Jesus, The Healer (3)

"But unto you that fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with HEALING in His wings." (Malachi4:2)
If we wonder why some believers still fall sick even though they have been healed once and for all time by redemption; we could as well consider why believers still commit sin having been forgiven and made free from sin through redemption (Rom.6:18 ) or why are a lot of people still perishing in their sin despite the fact that Jesus had already paid the ransom for their salvation (Matt.26:28).
Many reasons could be advanced for such seeming contradiction but the one that seems to encapsulate all is 'knowledge problem'(Hosea 4:6, Matt.13:15)
Believers still fall sick today because they do not have a good understanding of what Christ has done for them and that's why they could not avail themselves of all the benefits of redemption.
The Lord in making provision for healing and health through grace has done His part, it then behoves the one who has been given such grace to take advantage of it by consciously acquiring knowledge about all he has freely received. Having prepared you a meal, He will not force it down your throat; its your personal responsibility to take advantage of what he has done for you.
What should the ailing believer do?
The word of God is the solution to all human problems. Some ailments defy medical care but there is NONE that the word of God cannot heal.
You don't have to wait till sickness strikes before you start studying the word but even when infirmity catches you unprepared the word is still the solution. Read, study and Meditate on it, until the reality of it dawns on you. If you will allow the word of God to rule and reign (Acts19:20) in your heart as would a king over his domain, sickness won't have a place in your body and even if it comes it will bow to the rulership of the word in your heart.
The word of God is both sure and steadfast, give yourself over to it because it works! Blessed?
