HEALED THROUGH OBEDIENCE – Monday August 22nd 2016
Memorise: His mother saith unto the savants, whatever he
saith unto you do it. John 2:5
Read: 2nd Kings 5:9-14, (KJV)
9 So Naaman came with
his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash
in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt
be clean.
11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I
thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the
Lord his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.
12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better
than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he
turned and went away in a rage.
13 And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said,
My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not
have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?
14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in
Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again
like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
Bible in one year: Isaiah 45:14-48:22, Psalms 39
MESSAGE
Every genuine child of God has a covenant right of divine
health amongst other things. When I became born again, I did not believe in
divine healing and I used to say that those pastors preaching about divine
healing were looking for whom to kill. It was the testimony of an old man who
shared how he challenged the devil who was mocking him in his sickness that
made me to believe that divine healing is possible. In Exodus 15:26, God said:
“I am the Lord that healeth thee”.
The one asking you not to fear is the original physician.
The storms of sicknesses and disease are much more dangerous than any other
form of attack against humanity. Diseases and sicknesses have different
durations in the human body. There are some that last a few days and there are
some that last for years. God’s ultimate plan for His children is to live a
life that is not afflicted with sickness. He is interested in our wellbeing.
Healing is possible and it can be obtained through faith and in obedience to
the Word of God.
Open Heavens 22 August 2016:- Healed Through Obedience
When one is suffering from one form of sickness or the
other, it affects other things. It drains the finances of its victim and causes
stagnation. There are many colourful dreams that have been aborted as a result
of sickness. There are many wealthy people who have become poor because a
sickness drained their finances. The anointing of Jesus Christ is to destroy
all that God has not planted in your life. Jesus came to destroy the yoke of
sickness and this is why I want you to know that your case is not impossible
with Jesus. However, there are certain instructions that you may have to work
with if you want your miracle to be permanent.
Our Bible passage reveals that story of the Syrian army
officer who was highly ranked but was suffering from a particular sickness. The
man of God asked him to go and wash in the Jordan River seven times for him to
be healed of his sickness. It took the intervention of a God-sent messenger for
his to access his miracles. He would have lost the miracle of healing that he
had been longing for. He saw the instruction as ridiculous. I have seen over
and over again that instructions that look very simple are always ignored by
people, yet, it is the secret required for their breakthrough. The officer
though the river was too dirty for him and he began to list many exclusive
rivers, but the man of God was specific about the river and the number of times
he had to enter the river.
Obedience to the instruction of God is very crucial to the
release of our miracles in life. This man dipped himself into the Jordan River
six times and nothing happened. It wasn’t until he entered the seventh time
that his skin became changed and he received his healing. He dipped himself
into the river and his flesh became like that of a baby. 22 August 2016 open

Why are you still in that problem? Could it be that there
are certain instructions given to you and you have not obeyed or your obedience
has not been complete? You need to check yourself. The miracle you need is
right beside you; just do what Jesus has asked of you and you will see your
miracle being delivered without further delay.
Prayer Point
Father, remove every self-inflicted hindrance to my miracle
in Jesus’ name.
