TOPIC: HEALING, MIRACLES AND DELIVERANCE.           October Sunday 27th
TEXT: Mark 16:17,18
KEY VERSE: Psalm 107:20 “He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”

The word of God is the word of healing, deliverance and miracles The name of Jesus heals the sick and delivers the oppressed from evil spirits. Believers are commanded to use the name of Jesus in prayer for healing, deliverance, prosperity and miracles for themselves and for others in need. Healing, deliverance and miracles are valid today because Jesus is alive forever. We receive healing through faith and prayer according to God’s word of promise and the power of the name of Jesus. Healing and miracles are part of the gifts of the Holy Spirit to bless God’s people.
Consulting medical practitioners for treatment, be they conventional or herbal is not contrary to God’s word but consulting with familiar spirits for protection, healing and deliverance is evil. When curative medicines are used in righteousness, faith and prayers to God, the sick can be cured and abnormal conditions may become normal. In scripture God performed some unique miracles in peculiar ways. Prophet Elijah parted the river Jordan with his mantle and crossed over and Elisha did the same shortly afterward. Jesus turned water into wine. The shadow of Peter healed the sick. Handkerchiefs and aprons taken from Apostle Paul healed the sick and cast out devils. These kinds of miracles were not common place among the people. So they are not to be practiced repeatedly among believers. God does not allow it so.
The use of handkerchiefs, aprons, sand, salt, water or mantles for miracles in the church is not of the Holy Spirit. It is introduced by the enemy of the cross to divert the faith of men from Jesus to substances. This is witchcraft in the church. By turning away the faith of believers to these substances, they are made to serve idols. This practice turns the faith of people to handkerchief, aprons, salt, sands, water and other substances for healing and miracles and subverts their faith in Christ Jesus to their doom. A study of scripture shows that miracles by use of such means are very rare and are not standards for preachers to build the faith of people upon. Faith in Jesus alone is the standard. The misuse and abuse of anointing oil in churches is unscriptural. The use of anointing oil was strictly restricted to the sick and is not mandatory. Many people in the Bible, and apostolic days were healed without the use of anointing oil.

Thought for the day: Do not idolize anointing oil
Song for the day: He is a miracle working God, Alleluia.....
Bible reading for the day:
Jeremiah 20-22; 2 Timothy 1

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
