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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
