BY HIS STRIPES

-


Text:  1 Peter 2:24

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we,  being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness : by whose stripes ye were healed. 

It's amusingly annoying how some people opinionated that God can punish people with sicknesses and diseases.  This is one of the big lies of the devil to give us a wrong impression of whom our Father is. 

Just as it is unimaginable for any well meaning parents to cut off a finger from his child for any offence committed. So much more will our loving God not inflict His children with evil. 

Let no man say when he is tempted,  I  am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil,  NEITHER TEMPTS HE ANY MAN.  James 1:13. 

In actual sense,  Instead of punishing us for our sins,  He sent His Son to bore the consequences of our sin. 

Surely He has borne  our sicknesses , and He carried our pains : but we  in turn regarded Him stricken, struck down by God and afflicted.

But He was pierced because of our transgressions,  crushed because of our iniquities : punishment for our peace was on Him, and we are healed by His wounds.  Isaiah 53:4-5.

It's  time to receive the reality of what God has done for you through Jesus Christ. 

Your health and your healing has all been fully paid for in Christ. 

Receive your healing today in Jesus name. 

 *BY HIS STRIPES YOU WERE HEALED.* 

Bible reading: Isaiah 53:1-12.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
