ANGLICAN ADAM PREACHING SOCIETY (AAPS) DAILY DEVOTIONAL.
DATE: SATURDAY 3RD OCTOBER 2026
THEME: GOD HEALS ALL DISEASES
TEXT: PSALM 103:3
Psalms 103:3 "Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;"
There are some diseases that are very hard to cure and people usually refer to them as terminal diseases. Boils all over the body and leprosy used to be some of them in those days. Job and Hezekiah suffered it
Job 2:7 "So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown."
It was a terminal disease that caught Job that was why his wife quickly run away. When people feel that yours is finished, they reveal their true colours.
However, our God is a healer of all diseases, including terminal ones. Look at how God healed Hezekiah.
Isaiah 38:21 " For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover."
Moreover, terminal diseases are still prevalent today. Stroke, HIV AIDS, lassa fever, to mention but a few. When people are diagnosed of terminal diseases, many of them forget God for once. The fear of death overwhelm them, and their BP starts to rise. When you even go to pray with them, they only answer "Amen" but deep down in their hearts, they had written themselves off, and never believe in any prayers.
Beloved, we have a God that heals all diseases, and that includes terminal ones. Job and Hezekiah survived the terminal disease of their time because God intervened. Hezekiah was even told that he was going to die, but the man did not faint, rather he grew stronger in faith and prayers. He prayed until God changed his mind and added fifteen years to his years.
Exodus 15:26 " 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."
Our God is a healer. He heals every disease, no matter what. Some years ago when lassa fever was just coming up and very dreadful, we were on our mission work when one of my members got a call that her younger brother's wife delivered. As we were about to shout Alleluia, the call added that both mother and child tested positive to lassa fever, and that the child passed away few minutes ago, and that the mother had been transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU). Everyone became sad. But we encouraged her to have faith. We held our hands together and prayed. Two days later, she called me to tell me that her brother's wife had been healed and discharged. She acknowledged that her healing was due to the prayer, because even the doctors confessed that she was the first patient to come out alive, after been tested positive to lassa fever in that hospital.
Further more, what should a person do when he has a terminal disease?
Psalms 107:17-21 " Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.
He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!"
This scripture identity clearly that people often forget God and his laws in their days of prosperity, so he called them fools. In that state they sinned against God, and as a result were afflicted with terminal diseases. But when they remember their errors, repent and went back to God, God being Clement, forgave then, sent his word (Jesus Christ) and healed them. So the first step to take is to repent and go back to God. Then pray to God like Hezekiah, and God shall send Jesus Christ (his word), to heal them.
Above all, some sicknesses are spiritual. In spiritual cases nothing is diagnosed, yet the person is dying. Infact you will appreciate our God more when you take such cases to him: for He will take the sickness from the person and return it to sender. I have seen many of such cases where the sender shouted confessing what he did and confirming its return to him. Praise God. Alleluia.
The man at the pool of Bethesda did not lose hope. That was why he stayed there for 38 years. Therefore don't loose hope. Keep hoping, for God shall surely come to heal you.
However, all we are saying here is for those facing untimely death, not those whose appointed time with God is due
2 Kings 13:14 " Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. ..."
So some sickness are meant to transport us to heaven.
Ecclesiastes 8:8 "There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it."
