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, a 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 a 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, 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 I might be a healing agent to the world around me.

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...
