HEALING AGENT-3

TEXT : Jeremiah 8:22 

Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?

One of the major signs that you have been healed from hurts is your willingness to become an healing agent yourself. If you have been healed, God expects you to become an agent of healing in your circle of influence and community at large.

The demon-possessed man of the Gadarene did not just receive deliverance, but Jesus gave him a ministry to become a healing agent. 

Though he desired to follow Jesus, but was asked to go to his friends. Mark 5:19 says "...Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, "Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you."

Jesus gave this man a ministry to go home to his friends to do 2 things:

1. Tell them what great things the Lord has done: The Lord would have you go to your circle of influence and tell them about the great things He has done for you. *A closed mouth is a closed destiny; when you refused to share your testimony, many people around will not be able to believe God, and thereby gain access into their destiny.* 

 2. How He has had compassion on you: If you have truly received God's mercy and grace, you cannot but share with others. Keeping your testimony of deliverance and healing to yourself is being ungrateful to God.

Telling of God's faithfulness in your life open you up to greater miracles. The more you tell of His goodness, the more you see more of His good works in your life.

One major lesson the Lord is teaching us through the man of Gadarene is that He wants to raise more witnesses than benchwarmers in the church today. 

Jesus wants you to go and be a blessing to people around you rather than sitting around Him waiting for bread to drop on your lap.

YOU ARE BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING. 


Bible reading:Mark 5:1-20.


PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, make me a great source of blessing to my family, community and my world at large.


2. Father God, give me the grace to be a true witness to your love and saving grace in this adulterous generation.

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 portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
