Memorise: And as Moses lifted up
the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be
lifted up. John 3:14
The coming of sin into the human race brought about a lot of
calamity into human life. One of the calamities is sickness. As sin can be very
contagious in effect, so can sickness too. The good news, however, is that the
Almighty God is also ready to help the human race get over this. He promised
the people He chose for Himself through their progenitor, Abraham, that He would
spare them the agony of sickness and diseases:
“And the Lord will take away from
thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt , which
thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all that hate thee.” Deuteronomy 7:15
From time to time, the devil causes man to sin against God so
that he may be destroyed by the One who created him, thus frustrating the divine
love which God bestowed upon humankind. As if this is not enough, the devil
goes ahead to deceive man not to accept the divine help that can rescue him
from all his diseases. In the story we read in the Bible reading for today, the
children of Israel
sinned against the God of their fathers and God sent fiery serpents to kill
them. After much plea by Moses, God decided to help them.
It is unfortunate that many refused to look and live when
they were bitten by the fiery serpent. They did not allow God to help them (1st Corinthians 10:9).
Jesus said, just as Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness and those who
looked up to it were healed, so also whoever will allow God to help him will
look up to Jesus for healing (John 3:14). The reason is that He came to pay for
the sin of humanity and so, by His stripes we were healed(1st Peter 2:24). Beloved,
what infirmities are you suffering from? Have you tired and suffered by the
hands of physicians like the woman with the issue of blood? Come believing the
Great Physician today. Jesus Christ will heal you as He did to the impotent man
at Bethesda (John 5:1-9). For you to enjoy
divine healing, however, you must belong to the Great Physician. The food meant
for children cannot be given to dogs or slaves (Mark 7:26-30).Allow the Great Physician to help you today.
Prayer Point: Father, please heal
my infirmities today in Jesus’ name.
