TOPIC: NOT EVERY SICKNESS IS CAUSED BY SIN

TEXT: James 5:13-15
13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

KEY VERSE: Psalm 41:3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing:  thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

There is a gospel that is in excess. It teaches that the righteous cannot fall sick. But that is not to say that the righteous must fall sick. The bible says in Isaiah 33:24, “And the inhabitants shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.” 

In a special sense, God can manifest His power to the point of keeping His children from sicknesses as He did for the nation of Israel when He led them from Egypt to the Promised Land. The Bible says, there was none feeble among them. Even the cloth that they put on their body did not wear out. That is a special manifestation of God. God can make that choice. But is it that believers’ clothes don’t wear out? They do of course! They have followed the law of nature. At times, God will allow the law of nature to take effect. Why? He has made sufficient provision to counteract it. So, be free!

Therefore, can the righteous be sick? Yes! The righteous man can be sick. The righteous man can be oppressed by the devil. He is in this world and Satan too is in this world. In today’s key verse, who is this man that the Lord is talking about? Is it not the righteous? Can he be sick? Yes; the bible says the righteous can be sick. Therefore, know this scripture in the humility of your heart and don’t go into hypocrisy giving false testimonies of righteousness by saying, “I have not been sick since I gave my life to Jesus.” Know from scripture that it is grace that you have enjoyed. There is natural grace. Even among sinners, there are those that have never been sick. 

But in reality, the righteous can be sick. When he does, God will heal him. Satan went out from the presence of God and smote Job with sickness. The Lord was aware that Job would be sick but He was quiet about it. Humble yourself because you don’t know what God is planning to do concerning the situation. Were you not created for His glory? What if He decides to kill you? Will you say He has done bad? Job said, though He slay me, I shall still trust Him. So, be calm. Don’t find fault with God – even to the length of sickness.

Thought for the day: Are you sick? Trust God for your healing. 

Song for the day: Heal me oh Lord and I will be healed, save me and I will be saved…..

Bible reading for the day: Numbers 8-10; Mark 5:1-20 #Horemow

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. My Spirit Will Follow You To Do My Work.  Sunday 16th November  Text: Acts 16: 9-10 Key verse: Mark 16: 20 “And they went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word with signs following, Amen.” Continuation of revelation of Brother Dieudonne:  The Lord said, “I am here to gather My people before the trumpet sounds. My Father will order the angels to sound the trumpet. Be ready! Do My work. Gather My people.” When He said that, He insisted and said, “I am gathering My people with My Spirit. When My Spirit enters, if you obey My word, My Spirit will follow you to do My work. People will listen to you and follow you. They are My chosen. If they listen to My word and reject it, let them go. Evangelize, preach My word to everybody, I am here gathering My people before My coming. If the time was not finished, would the animals have come to Noah? The time is...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
