TOPIC: HEALING FROM ALL SICKNESSES
AUGUST SATURDAY 4th
TEXT: Psalm 103:2-5
KEY VERSE: And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee. Exodus 15: 26
All that God made was good and perfect. The origin of sickness and disease is disobedience and sin. Before the fall, there was no sickness and disease. It was sin that introduced infirmity and brought pains and death. Sometimes, God permits his children to be afflicted to test their righteousness or stir them into prayer. Psalm 119:71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. When affliction comes it is good to examine yourself to be sure you are not the cause. God has made provision for divine healing because His promise is to make sicknesses and diseases far from us. I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee. If you are afflicted by disease, pray to God or meet the elders to pray for you and the prayer offered in faith shall bring healing (James 5:13-14). Even as you pray, do not forsake medical treatment because by wisdom it is also the provision of God for your healing.
However, in seeking healing for your ailment, you must avoid things that will hinder the process. This includes:
1. Lack of Faith – James 5:15a; Rom 14:23; Gal 4:8-9). James 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick. The man without faith cannot expect to receive from God. James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
2. Unconfessed Sins. Sin is a hinderance to healing. Proverbs 28:13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
3. Lack of Importunity. Pray earnestly for your healing. God is not lethargic to the cries of his children. If you can persist and persevere in prayers, answer will come. Be like the persistent widow and keep on pleading your case with God until an answer comes. Don’t lose hope even if it is a terminal disease.
4. Unforgiveness. Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Thought for the day: Take your case to God in prayers.
Song for the day: You are the Lord that healeth us
Bible reading for the day:
