HEALING AGENT

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?

An interesting story about a possessed man of Gadarene in Mark chapter five revealed God's desire and design to bring healing to every hurting Soul. 

The Lord is not just willing to heal you of your hurt, but He is much more willing to make you a healing agent as well.

The possessed man of Gadarene had his dwelling among the dead in the tombs. No man could bind or chain him down. It was recorded about him that: _Because he had often been bound with shackles and chains. And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; neither could anyone tame him. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones._ Mark 5:4-5.

I quite believe that he must have hurt a number of people to the point that when he had none around to hurt again, he started hurting himself. 

At every point in time, an hurting man is either injuring himself or someone else. *When a person does not receive prompt healing from a hurt, he grows to become a hurting agent himself.* 

The possessed man met with Jesus, perhaps thinking it was another man to be injured. But this time around, it was the healer of all hurts. *When you meet an hurting person, does he pass his hurt to you, or do you transfer your healing balm to him?*  

When you allow hurt to linger for too long a time, such becomes a stronghold of the enemy in your life. To avoid building a stronghold for the enemy, you must constantly receive grace and healing from the HEALER at every instance of hurt.  

Just as Jesus, the great physician who healed the man of the Gadarene of his hurt, and made him an agent of healing to other people; he also wants to heal you today and make you a healing agent.

Bible reading: Mark 5:1-20.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Father God, help me to indeed be the salt of the earth and the light of the world, that people might see my good works and give glory to you.

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...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
