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?

The Wonderful Name of Jesus (3)

"Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."( Acts 4:12)
By His death and resurrection, the ransom for the liberation of mankind was FULLY PAID; He thereby paved the ONLY way through which man can go back to his maker (John14:6). 
The age-long desire of mankind to have fellowship with God was finally made a reality through Christ (Heb.7:19). Humans can now stand before the most holy God unashamed (Heb.10:19-22)
There's no need to live in servitude to sin and satan anymore; freedom in its absolute sense is given perfect expression in Jesus (John 8:36); the sons of men can now become the sons of God (Gal.3:26); death has been conquered and the life of God made available (John 10:10).
This is What salvation means and it is what the name of Jesus stands for.
Will you accept Jesus today and be saved?

The Wonderful Name of Jesus (2)

"And these signs will follow those who believe: IN MY NAME they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." (Mark 16:17-18)
It was said of Jesus "never has man spoke like this" (John 7:47) some at another place in astonishment said "he has done all things well" (Mark 7:37); some others marvelled at his mastery over nature (Mark 4:41); never did man pray with such boldness - for He confidently said in prayer "I know that You always hear Me" (John 11:42) - what a wonder He was and is!
The blind saw, the deaf heard, the dumb spoke, the sick were healed and the dead raised back to life, and demons couldn't withstand His presence.
I announce to you that it didn't end there for He has given us the authority to do what He did and even much more IN HIS NAME (John14:12)
When He asked us to do exploits in His name, He has only asked us to do those things in His stead.
He has given us power of attorney to act in His place as if He was here. The world has a way-out of its distress, bondage and helpleness today because the believers who bears the name of Jesus are around. His name makes all the difference!
Take your place friends, and let's give the world the help it needs in the name of Jesus. Ready?

Heart of Gratitude (1)

‎"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, (4) to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, (5) who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time" (IPet.1:3-5)
By the redemption through Christ,
we were rescued from the dominion of sin and satan (Col.1:13);
we became the very children of God (Gal3:26);
we became partakers of God's very life and nature (2Pet.1:4);
we became heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ (Rom.8:17);
God in His power and majesty dwells in us(1Cor.3:16);
in summary we have received ALL things! (1Cor.3:21) -this is the reason the believer must always maintain a heart of gratitude in all things.
I Cor.1-26-28 is most relevant here: "(26)For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. (27) But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; (28) and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are.
Now, the weak is made strong, the sick is made whole, the sin-soiled children of Adam have become the righteous sons of the Holy God all by grace . I admonish you therefore to give Him thanks ALWAYS with a GRATEFUL HEART! Blessed?

Burning Passion For God (4)

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every Spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ" (Eph.1:3)
In Christ we are blessed with all the spiritual blessings in Heavenly Places. Better put, having received Christ, we have received all the blessings of God, for Jesus is the blessing of God personified: he who is indwelt by Christ has got all that God has to offer, for in Him all the fullness of God dwell (Col. 2:9 )
The Greek word "Makarizo", sheds light on it; and it means a state of FULL SATISFACTION because one is indwelt by God. Full satisfaction, not just in quantitative measure, but more importantly, its a state of completeness in which you don't need any other thing. A little wonder Bible speaks of the man born again as a complete man (Col.2:10); because that man has Got all he will ever need in time and eternity having had Christ.
Jesus lifted the veil when He said "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst." (John 6:35)
Why on earth will you break down and cry in hopelessness; how on earth could you shift your gaze and attention from the treasure that's resident in your very heart; why will you make ephemeral things the object of your most passionate pursuit; its either you don't know the magnitude of what you have or you have forgotten the great implication of God's indwelling presence.
From the day you received Christ through eternity, you have got all you will ever need. Blessed?
