  NOT AUTOMATIC Philippians.1:1-11 Devotional:- “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns” (V.6 NLT) Knowing fully well that spiritual growth is one of your purpose of been on the earth, then you also need to know that developing Christ-like character takes years, it is not automatic. We open to God bit by bit. Discipleship is the process of conforming to Christ (Romans 12:2, Ephesians 4:13). The truth is that the journey to Christ-likeness is a life time journey. Growth involves believing, belonging (through fellowship) and becoming (through discipleship). Every day God want you to become a little more like Him (Colossians 3:10) Today we are interested in speed but God is interested in strength and stability than swiftness (2 Corinthians 3:18). The reason it takes time to grow is because we are slow learner. We often have to relearn a lesson forth or fifty times to reall...

ORIGIN OF SICKNESS

ORIGIN OF SICKNESS

Genesis 3:8-19
Devotional Verse: “To the woman He said: “I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in pain you shall bring forth children; your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you” (V. 16).


    The word “Pain” was mentioned in the bible for the first time in Genesis 3:16. This was when the first affliction of sickness was released on the sons of men. When God made the first man at creation, there was no record of sickness and pain. They were not creatures of weaknesses. They were made to be healthy forever. Don’t forget they were made like God. (Gen. 1:27). God is a healer and He cannot be sick. (Exodus 15:26).

    Adam and Eve were made without any fear. The spirit of any affliction could not come near them, even the devil was afraid of them that he has to come through the woman to deceive them to sin against God, it was then, pain began.

    Friend, Jesus has come to destroy the power of the curses that inflict man with sickness. (Gal 3:13-14). Jesus carried our sin on the cross and by His strive we are healed. (Isaiah 53:4). It was the word that came out of the mouth of God that releases pain on human. But the devil is taking advantage to continue this  till today, even when Jesus has destroyed that spirit. Jesus has come to speak the word of healing into our lives (Luke 7:7, Matthew 5:34). So, sickness has no legal right over your life anymore. Learn to cast the spirit of sickness off your life always. (Mark 16:17-18). And you will be free from sickness. Peace!

Prayer: I reject sickness in my body in Jesus name.

“WHEN THE SPIRIT IS GONE, THE PAIN WILL BE GONE”
