The series Continuoooo (2/3/26) - PART 5,,,,,,,,,
A story is given of a woman who was diagnosed with cancer. The doctors gave her a report that clearly stated that she will not go beyond 3 months - that she had 3 months to live. What do you expect with such a report? Fear of course.
Why do I bring up this story? To help us understand another reason why many usually cannot tap into the divine healing from God. Do you know fear is an opposing force against faith? That's why Peter when fear creeped in, he started sinking. He started well with a lot of faith wanting to walk on water and follow Jesus but fear caused him to start sinking. What's the difference? Why is it that when he started he was walking on water towards Jesus? Why didn't he just finish the course he started?
The answer is simple: FEAR.
Fear is one of the greatest devices that the enemy uses against you. Did I finished the story of that woman? Well let me finish. The woman upon hearing that she has 3 months to live, she said to herself, "I will not watch myself languish and wait to d!e." Of course she knew the doctors report is valid and there was nothing the doctors would have helped to change the situation. She thought to herself the only way is to seek a higher intervention.
She sat down and thought of the many people Jesus healed of their infirmaties. She thought of the scripture that says, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever." And that if He did it then, he can do it today.
She made it an aim to look for scriptures of the Bible that talked about healing. She took a pen, wrote all of them on a piece of paper and sticked them all around her room. Do you know why she did this?
She wanted to change the environment around her. It was a counter measure for fear. She wanted to surround herself with what will give her hope and life as opposed to doctor's report of fear.
Listen, I am not disqualifying the work the doctors do because they're on Jesus side. Doctors have treated so many people and gotten well thus they're on Jesus Side. Jesus wants people well and so doctors are doing Jesus work. Am just implying that if you must get certain things and desires from God, you have no option but start reasoning like Him- that's faith. So, in a daily basis, the woman would read the scriptures aloud that were all over her room. She would read aloud and speak to herself, "I will not die but live to declare God's goodness in the land of living." "I am more than a conqueror " "Jesus Christ paid for my healing, by his stripes am healed." "My body is the temple of the Holy spirit and therefore sicknesses and diseases have no room"
Guess what? After a period of two months with continued confessions of positives words from the word of God, she went and tested and was found to be cancer free.
Look at that! Who does that? A believer that understands how to take his position. Do you know that the Bible records in John 6:63 that the words I speak to you are spirit and life. Those were Jesus words. Do you know that 1 John 4:17 says as he's so are in this world? Yes. If that's the case then, it means because as He's is we're then it means even our words too are spirit and life just like Jesus words are. The same way Jesus words would be effectual while speaking healing to you, the same way your words ought to be when you speak to yourself coz you're like Him.
Here's the catch, because of religion and religious minds, many people fail to tap into this privilege. There are people who however much you tell them that you can ask healing from God by simply confessing his word, they will ignore and say, "there's nothing like that." Interestingly, these people are Christians. One thing with God is that He will manifest Himself to you to the level of how you understand Him. Do you believe first that he can do that thing you're trusting him for?
Someone will say but we usually believe that he can do it but we have never seen it happen. Brother, sister persist! You remember the story of the woman I gave above, it took her two months of daily confessing scriptures of life upon her life. She was consistent. The dosage required for her to be well had to take two continued months of confessions. Do you realise the doctors give you different dosages of different drugs and failure to take may result in relapse? She didn't give up on the first day or week. She continually confessed and said it loud to herself. The words soon became a life giving spirit and what she confessed became. The body could not handle sickness any more because a force had been created that by default repelled the unwanted. Persistence is part of faith, you believe that no matter the surroundings, it must happen, you must be well. Hallelujah!
During the Busia mission, I had focused so much on the healing ministry and there are a lot of things I learnt first hand. I came and understood later why one of my mentors in the healing ministry, Pastor Chris OYAKHILOME developed healing schools.
I used to wonder in the past what is the need for a healing school. Does it even make sense? I came to understand later that it's very key and important. In fact, PASTOR CHRIS says, it's an idea God instructed him to actualize. Do you know why it's necessary? So that people are taught about faith, the power of words, how to receive and maintain your healing using biblical references etc. Listen, just like the doctors sit you down and tell you the do's and don'ts while administering medication, it's necessary that some people are taught over and over again regarding the same. Otherwise...
There comes a time when one says, "k**a mbaya mbaya" like that woman. She told herself, I refuse to believe the report of the doctors. Yes it's true in the physical and in the eyes of man but not in God's eyes. I will cling and believe God's report. His report is different.
I am fond of confessing and declaring to myself,"I will not die before my time, I must accomplish God's purpose." Someone may see you making such a declaration and say, "you're very stupid and arrogant." I wonder where's stupidity or arrogance in confessing the truth (God's word). My brother, sister, confess God's word daily. Have it as an antidote for every season. The word of God is cure.
Listen, God already gave you the mandate. Do not cry to him saying, "God come heal me, I am dy!ng." Sister you will d!e and God will remain to be God. It will not change the fact that He's the God of all creation. He expects you to stand your ground and say, "thank you Lord because I obtain mercy and healing in you. They're already secured in you. I receive my healing na sibanduki. It might not happen that day, keep pressing on. Stand on that word, claim it again and again and again. Persist Persist.
Remember Strive to be a christian and not a religious person. Have a Christian mind and not a religious minds.
