When Healing Delays

“ And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.” – Luke 17:17- 18

While working in a medical lab as an intern in preparation for a post-graduate study in public health, a colleague mistakenly gave a patient a test result belonging to someone else showing the individual tested positive for HIV while the individual with HIV went home with a clean bill.

They both returned after a few days for further examination. The fellow with the HIV positive result had emaciated with lean flesh and bones while the actual person with HIV was still looking robust and showed no care. This is the power of a proclamation though humans react more to negative proclamations than positive ones.

Jesus had just pronounced the healing of ten lepers by asking them to go show themselves to the priests. It was a form of passage, a physical examination to certify the cleansing of the lepers and declare them fit to be integrated into society.

It was obvious they believed the words of Jesus even before receiving the required certification from the priests. As they departed, they obviously started seeing signs in their bodies of disappearing symptoms. One of the ten decided to return first to Jesus in thanksgiving before going for the required check by the priests. Jesus said they were all healed the instant he spoke the word but only one believed even before physical examination and returned to give thanks.

Another man was asked by the prophet in Israel to bath seven times in a river for his leprosy to be cleansed. He would have given up after a couple of baths as he was not just required to dive in the water seven times but was to have seven baths in the river.  His healing was perfected at the completion of the seventh bath.

Sometimes, healing manifests instantly as was the case with the ten lepers while at other times, it could take a process many of which have been described in this devotion. While going thru the process, consistency in both action and confession is required.

Abraham did not consider the biological timing but he believed the promise and started giving thanks to God (Romans 4:18 -20). Obviously, his faith also encouraged him to keep having intercourse with his wife believing conception will take place according to the promise made by God.

What actions are you taking today towards your healing? What are your confessions about your conditions and what do they communicate to every cell in your body. Studies have shown the correlation between these two acts and healing in several situations where even terminal conditions have been reversed.

When hope is against hope, just give thanks and experience the drawing from the wellspring of life with joy unspeakable. Thank God like Abraham and the leper who returned not having seen a complete change. Be consistent in actions like the leper asked to bath seven times but did not give up until his health was restored.

Don’t give up on your physical fitness goals or your diet program because it seems the tummy fats are not giving way. Some couples try IVF once and resign to fate, please go again and this time with thanksgiving and believing like Abraham. Your healing took place 2000 years ago and was delivered the instant you received the words of grace concerning your condition. Keep at every positive action and confession to birth the manifestation.

WHY CHRISTIANS FALL SICK

By
I must pay tribute and give dues to great Christians who have taken time to deal with the above topic. Some of them did after encounters with sicknesses and near-death experiences but the Lord had mercy on them and allowed them to put pen on paper for generations to come so we may understand God wants us whole and healthy. I will first acknowledge the works of Dr. George Makmus, founder of the Hallelujah Acres and the Hallelujah Diet who was diagnosed of colon cancer and went on to find out from the scriptures and science why “he” a Christian should get sick. He later wrote the book “Why Christians Get Sick” (It can be obtained from leading bookshops and online from Amazon.com). Secondly, I met Rev Tony Akinyemi over a decade ago and I believe strongly that my working with him is nothing but divine arrangement. He it was that first introduced my wife and I to the concept of healthy living. Rev Tony Akinyemi at the age of 36 with a budding ministry in the heart of Lagos was d...

PROTECT YOURSELF AND LOVED ONES FROM EBOLA

By
As Lagos records the first case of Ebola incidence, it has become pertinent to arouse public interest and educate people on the need for prevention as treatment and cure of the disease is not too clear to medical science as at 2014. The Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) or Ebola Haemorrhagic Fever (EHF) first appeared during two 1976 outbreaks in Africa. Ebola gets its name from the Ebola River, which is near one of the villages in the Democratic Republic of Congo where the disease first appeared. Usually an outbreak starts when someone comes into contact with the body fluids or waste of infected animals, such as monkeys, chimps, or fruit bats. Once a person is infected, he or she can then spread it to others. There are five different types of Ebola virus that cause the disease. Four of them are known to cause the disease in humans. The American Centre for Disease Control states that “the prevention of Ebola HF presents many challenges. Because it is still unknown how exac...

FAITH, HEALTH & HEALING DEVOTIONAL - DAY 11

You Need Bacteria “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies….” – Psalm 23:5 David saw God preparing his table in the presence of his enemies. They have an important role to play in your lifting. Bacteria would be considered enemies of the human health but they serve several beneficial purposes to the body. There are about 100 Trillion bacteria in the human body while there are about 1 Quadrillion viruses (Bacteriophages) present in the human microbiome. The bacteria would outnumber the human cells by 10 to 1 while the viruses outnumber the bacteria by almost the same margin. Several researches have demonstrated the importance of bacteria to human health. There are several bacteria that promote infections and diseases in the human body but there are also several bacteria responsible for many critical functions in the human body. Bacteria are responsible for the breaking down of food particles in the body which when absent can lead to obesity...
