THE BLESSINGS OF TOTAL HEALTH – 3

Better than good greetings, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

We bless our God & the Father of our Lord & Saviour, Jesus, for the past 21 days in this month, Who has been faithful to His Word of Total Health in our lives.

To Him alone be all the glory forever, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

On Thursday evening at KING’S DELIGHT CHURCH GLOBAL, in our Glory to Glory Word Hour, we continued in the third part of our teaching series: THE BLESSINGS OF TOTAL HEALTH!

We considered two more blessings:

1. Total Health makes the Christian to deploy his/her resources to other matters of value.

From the experience of that woman recounted in Mark 5.25-26, it is clear that sickness saps the victim dry of all resources – finances, energy, time, etc:
Mark 5.25-26(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):
25 “Now a woman who for twelve years had suffered from haemorrhage”,

26 “and had undergone many different treatments under a number of doctors and had spent all she had without receiving benefit but on the contrary growing worse”,

Mark 5.25-26(KJV):
25 “And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years”,

26 “And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse”,

A man met me some few years ago, who was a victim of an unknown ailment.

As of that time, he had spent about a hundred million Nigerian naira, home & abroad, yet to no avail.

He returned home amid a great loss & gave up all hope, that was when a relation of his brought him to me.

According to him, he’s so afraid because in their family, the male don’t live up to forty years of age & if they should, they don’t go beyond sixty.

As of that time, he was nearing sixty years of age but glory be to the Lord Jesus, by the Lord’s mercy & encounter with the Word, he’s still alive today, nearer seventy years in age.

Beloved, our Father doesn’t encourage waste but that’s part of the devil’s ministry & he afflicts people’s health to do that but glory to Jesus, He came to destroy ALL the works of the devil – 1 John 3.8(Amplified version):
[8]”[But] he who commits sin [who practices evildoing] is of the devil [takes his character from the evil one], for the devil has sinned (violated the divine law) from the beginning. The reason the Son of God was made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen, and dissolve) the works the devil [has done]”.

Colossians 2.14-15(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):
14 “The bond, with its requirements, which was in force against us and was hostile to us, He cancelled, and cleared it out of the way, nailing it to His Cross”.

15 “And the hostile princes and rulers He shook off from Himself, and boldly displayed them as His conquests, when by the Cross He triumphed over them”.

Colossians 2.14-15(Amplified version):
[14]”Having cancelled and blotted out and wiped away the handwriting of the note (bond) with its legal decrees and demands which was in force and stood against us (hostile to us). This [note with its regulations, decrees, and demands] He set aside and cleared completely out of our way by nailing it to [His] cross”.

[15]”[God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross]”.

Beloved, EVERY POWER OF DARKNESS, HOSTILE & RANGED AGAINST US WITH THEIR EVIL WORKS, INCLUDING SICKNESSES & SUFFERINGS, OUR FATHER THROUGH JESUS, DISARMED & SHOOK OFF FOR US – YOU & I – SO THAT WE SHOULD ENJOY TOTAL HEALTH & ALL OTHER BLESSINGS! HALLELUYAH!

No wonder, the Father Himself tells us in Malachi 3.11-12(Amplified version):
[11]”And I will rebuke the devourer [insects and plagues] for your sakes and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground, neither shall your vine drop its fruit before the time in the field, says the Lord of hosts”.

[12]”And all nations shall call you happy and blessed, for you shall be a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts”.

The devourer is a waster of resources & blessings & Daddy says He would rebuke it, disapprove & turn back the devourer, so that you & I, His children WILL BE HAPPY, BLESSED & DELIGHTSOME & RECOGNISED AS SUCH EVERYWHERE, ALL THE TIME!

Jesus came to rebuke the devourers on our behalf, He did it & said, “…It is finished” – John 19.30.

It is finished with every case of sickness & disease in your body, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

That will be your own personal testimony concerning your TOTAL HEALTH from this moment, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

2. Total Health establishes the truthfulness & power of the Gospel of Christ, the Word of God.

In Romans 1.16-17, we understand that the Gospel of Christ is God’s power for helps for anyone who believes:(Weymouth’s New Testament translation)
1.16 “For I am not ashamed of the Good News. It is God’s power which is at work for the salvation of every one who believes–the Jew first, and then the Gentile”.

1.17 “For in the Good News a righteousness which comes from God is being revealed, depending on faith and tending to produce faith; as the Scripture has it,

When you put your absolute FAITH & TRUST in God’s Word, then His power to help you out of any dilemma is released & flows in you – Matthew 8.16-17; 1 Peter 2.24; Romans 8.11:
Matthew 8:
16 “When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick”:

17 “That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses”.

1 Peter 2: 24
“Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed”.

Romans 8.11(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):
11″And if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead is dwelling in you, He who raised up Christ from the dead will give Life also to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who dwells in you”.

When you’re in TOTAL HEALTH, you give credence to the truthfulness & the power of the Gospel of Christ, the Word of God!

Sometime ago, I was still in business then, I felt a slight pain in my right eye & saw that a boil was developing there.

I promptly took charge by rebuking the pain & growth.

Later in the day, a lawyer whose office wasn’t too far from mine on the same floor, saw me & asked if I had boil on my eye, & I replied him, “No”, to which he jokingly mocked that I had been deceived by the fake & false faith message, to which I replied him that since he’s the one looking at me, maybe the boil is on his eyes.

Interestingly, by the following day, I no longer felt the pain & the growth also had disappeared but when I saw the lawyer, there was boil in his right eye.

More interestingly, he’s now a member of the church I was attending then, & not only that, he’s even an ordained Elder there, promoting the faith he once mocked!

How Do You Get These Blessings?
We’ll look at a point here:
Desire the blessings because of your LOVE for God & your neighbour – Matthew 22.37-40:
37 “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind”.

38 “This is the first and great commandment”.

39 “And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself”.

40 “On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets”.

Every promise of blessings of Scriptures are mobilized by the motive & attitude of LOVE at work in the believer!

It’s your desire that has been reserved for & will be delivered to you – Proverbs 10.24:
“The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted”.

You should wish for Total Health & the blessings accompany it, then translate your desires into action by carrying out the instructions of Scriptures, & it’s all yours.

Remember, you first obey the Lord because you LOVE Him – John 14.21,23(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):
21 “He who has my commandments and obeys them–he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will clearly reveal myself to him”.

23 “If any one loves me,” replied Jesus, “he will obey my teaching; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him”.

Also, remember that you must LOVE your neighbour as yourself – Galatians 6.9-10(Amplified version):
[9]”And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint”.

[10]”So then, as occasion and opportunity open up to us, let us do good [morally] to all people [not only being useful or profitable to them, but also doing what is for their spiritual good and advantage]. Be mindful to be a blessing, especially to those of the household of faith [those who belong to God’s family with you, the believers]”.

You should & must enjoy total health because you’re ordained to be a blessing to others.

As far as the Father is concerned, you’ll be blessed to the measure that you’re ready to be a blessing – Genesis 12.2-3(Amplified version):

2 “And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you [with abundant increase of favors] and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing [dispensing good to others]”.

3 “And I will bless those who bless you [who confer prosperity or happiness upon you] and curse him who curses or uses insolent language toward you; in you will all the families and kindred of the earth be blessed [and by you they will bless themselves]”.

When you operate as commanded, your faith will surely deliver because faith will only produce in the atmosphere of LOVE – Galatians 5.6(Amplified version):
[6]”For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love”.

As the Lord lives & is on the throne, you’ll celebrate the remaining days of your life in SOUND & TOTAL HEALTH, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

Praise God!

Take grace to be in fellowship with the saints tomorrow as you honour the Lord in LOVE & stay blessed with better than good testimonies, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

Your Blessing Today…

Better than good greetings, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

May the rest that comes from knowing the Lord Jesus & that causes enlargements with ease answer for you today & always, even in your HEALTH too, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

I bring you the better than good news of the Kingdom.

According to 1 Corinthians 15.58, the Holy Spirit of glory opens our eyes of understanding to the Father’s perception of us, as HIS BELOVED:
1 Corinthians 15.58(Amplified version):
[58]”Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord [always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord], knowing and being continually aware that your labor in the Lord is not futile [it is never wasted or to no purpose]”.

Our Father sees you & I as His BELOVED because He has ACCEPTED US INTO HIS BELOVED IN AS MUCH AS WE ACCEPTED HIS LOVE GIFT – JESUS THE CHRIST – AS OUR SAVIOUR, LORD & ALL IN ALL – Ephesians 1.6:
“To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved”.

To maximise & optimise the benefits of your salvation with blessings & impacts, it is very essential for you to accept the truth of Scriptures, see yourself in the light of the New Testament redeemed child of God & start GROWING in Jesus in ALL ASPECTS by RIGHTLY DIVIDING(CORRECTLY INTERPRETING, DEALING STRAIGHTFORWARD WITH) THE WORD OF TRUTH & EATING THE WORD TO LIVE AS YOU EXERCISE YOURSELF UNTO GODLINESS, OUR FATHER’S NATURE, HIS LIFESTYLE – 2 Timothy 2.15; Matthew 4.4; & 1 Timothy 4.8:
2 Timothy 2.15:
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”.

2 Timothy 2.15(Weymouth’s translation): “Earnestly seek to commend yourself to God as a servant who, because of his straightforward dealing with the word of truth, has no reason to feel any shame”.

2 Timothy 2.15(Amplified version): [15]”Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth”.

Matthew 4.4:
“But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God”.

1 Timothy 4.8(Amplified version):
[8] “For physical training is of some value (useful for a little), but godliness (spiritual training) is useful and of value in everything and in every way, for it holds promise for the present life and also for the life which is to come”.

1 Timothy 4.8(Weymouth New Testament translation):
4:8 “Train yourself in godliness. Exercise for the body is not useless, but godliness is useful in every respect, possessing, as it does, the promise of Life now and of the Life which is soon coming”.

As we see earlier in 1 Corinthians 15.58, because we’re the Father’s beloved, everything that we do, & which we should do, in line with His will, with the right motive & attitude of LOVE, is guaranteed with GAINS(in this PRESENT WORLD & the world to come), our services & labour then aren’t in vain:
1 Corinthians 15.58(Amplified version):
[58]”Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord [always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord], knowing and being continually aware that your labor in the Lord is not futile [it is never wasted or to no purpose]”.

You must therefore constantly, consciously & deliberately take GRACE not to allow anything to hinder your LOVE WALK & LOVE WORK – Hebrews 12.28:
“Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear”:

The believer’s Christ Life without His Love Nature makes him worthless, according to 1 Corinthians 13.2(Amplified version):
[2]”And if I have prophetic powers (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), and understand all the secret truths and mysteries and possess all knowledge, and if I have [sufficient] faith so that I can remove mountains, but have not love (God’s love in me) I am nothing (a useless nobody)”.

I don’t think I or any other Christian would like to be “a USELESS NOBODY”.

Maybe there could be hope for a useless SOMEBODY but it seems hope is lost, hope is no longer alive for a useless nobody.

The Weymouth translation actually nailed it on the head – 1 Corinthians 13.2:
13.2 “If I possess the gift of prophecy and am versed in all mysteries and all knowledge, and have such absolute faith that I can remove mountains, but am destitute of Love, I am nothing”.(Weymouth’s New Testament translation)

I don’t equally think that any believer in Christ Jesus would want to be NOTHING in life, certainly, I don’t want to be NOTHING but the person who Jesus paid the PRICE OF HIS BLOOD TO BE, & I know that’s who you too want to be – THE BETTER THAN GOOD CHRISTIAN CHILD OF GOD – Hebrews 6.9; Revelation 5.12:
“But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak”.

Revelation 5.12:
[12]”Saying in a loud voice, Deserving is the Lamb, Who was sacrificed, to receive all the power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and majesty (glory, splendor) and blessing”!

These are the summary of the blessings (THE PROMISES OF SCRIPTURES FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION) which our salvation in Christ offers, even in this present life, too, as we keep up our FAITH ALIVE IN HIS LOVE – Galatians 5.6(Weymouth’s translation):
5:6 “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any importance; but only faith working through love”.

To be a useless nobody or nothing in life by not LIVING IN LOVE means the person is dead – 1 John 3.14(Weymouth’s translation):
“As for us, we know that we have already passed out of death into Life–because we love our brother men. He who is destitute of love continues dead”…, & the dead does not need HEALTH again but brethren, Christ gave us LIFE, THE FATHER’S LIFE which no sickness, plagues or any kind of targeted suffering can corrupt, NEVER! John 17.2-3; 1 John 5.11-13:
[2]”[Just as] You have granted Him power and authority over all flesh (all humankind), [now glorify Him] so that He may give eternal life to all whom You have given Him”.

[3]”And this is eternal life: [it means] to know (to perceive, recognize, become acquainted with, and understand) You, the only true and real God, and [likewise] to know Him, Jesus [as the] Christ (the Anointed One, the Messiah), Whom You have sent”.

1 John 5:11-13(Amplified version):
[11]”And this is that testimony (that evidence): God gave us eternal life, and this life is in His Son”.

[12]”He who possesses the Son has that life; he who does not possess the Son of God does not have that life”.

[13]”I write this to you who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) the name of the Son of God [in the peculiar services and blessings conferred by Him on men], so that you may know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that you [already] have life, yes, eternal life”.

1 John 5.11-13(Weymouth’s translation):
5.11 “And that testimony is to the effect that God has given us the Life of the Ages, and that this Life is in His Son”.

5.12 “He who has the Son has the Life: he who has not the Son of God has not the Life”.

5.13 “I write all this to you in order that you who believe in the Son of God may know for certain that you already have the Life of the Ages”.

Dearly beloved, you have the LIFE OF THE AGES just as the Father, Son & the Holy Spirit have!

Don’t be deceived into anything to the contrary!

If you believe any other portion of blessings in the Holy Scriptures, then you should believe these for your BETTER THAN GOOD LIFE!

This is your day to leave the floor & soar in life, where you belong, at the TOP!

I see you RISE UP IN TOTAL HEALTH TO LIVE & DO THE WORKS CHRIST ORDAINED FOR YOU!

START LOVING & START LIVING!

Your better than good testimonies are sure today & always, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

Your Blessing Today…

Better than good greetings, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

Beloved, I have better than good news of the Kingdom for you, today!

Most Christians obey the Father, not to honour Him but to avoid the negative consequences of disobedience, even though that is good as it may, it’s not a healthy relationship.

That is mere religion!

In religion, there are formalities but no power because the (HEART FELT) LOVE RELATIONSHIP which is the basis of conferring divine power isn’t there – Hebrews 1.3,5:(Amplified version); & Colossians 2.8,16-23:
Hebrews 1.
[3]”He is the sole expression of the glory of God [the Light-being, the out-raying or radiance of the divine], and He is the perfect imprint and very image of [God’s] nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power. When He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, He sat down at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high”,

[5]”For to which of the angels did [God] ever say, You are My Son, today I have begotten You [established You in an official Sonship relation, with kingly dignity]? And again, I will be to Him a Father, and He will be to Me a Son”?

Colossians 2.8,16-23:

2:8 “Take care lest there be some one who leads you away as prisoners by means of his philosophy and idle fancies, following human traditions and the world’s crude notions instead of following Christ”(Weymouth’s New Testament translation).

16 “Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days”:

17 “Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ”.

18 “Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind”,

19 “And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God”.

20 “Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances”,

21 (“Touch not; taste not; handle not”;

22 “Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men”?

23 “Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh”.

Christians are to obey the Father to SHOW LOVE to Him, to PLEASE, PLEASURE Him (by doing always the things that PLEASE Him) –
John 8.29:
“And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him”.

Our Father is to be HONOURED & obeyed primarily, fundamentally because He’s to be PLEASED, PLEASURED because of your LOVE relationship with Him.

Subsequently, He’s then to be obeyed to avoid the negative consequences of disobedience – Hebrews 5.7; & Luke 12.47-48:
Hebrews 5.7:
[7]”In the days of His flesh [Jesus] offered up definite, special petitions [for that which He not only wanted but needed] and supplications with strong crying and tears to Him Who was [always] able to save Him [out] from death, and He was heard because of His reverence toward God [His godly fear, His piety, in that He shrank from the horrors of separation from the bright presence of the Father]”.

Luke 47-48:
47 “And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes”.

48 “But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more”.

Then again, the Father is to be obeyed because you’ll be tremendously blessed: Deuteronomy 28.1-13; Revelation 11.18; & Exodus 23.25-26; 15.26:
Deuteronomy 28.1-13:
1 “And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth”:

2 “And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God”.

3 “Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field”.

4 “Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep”.

5 “Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store”.

6 “Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out”.

7 “The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways”.

8 “The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee”.

9 “The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways”.

10 “And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee”.

11 “And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee”.

12 “The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow”.

13 “And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them”:

Revelation 11.18:
“And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth”.

Exodus 23.25-26:
25 “And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee”.

26 “There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil”.

Exodus 15.26:
“And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee”.

Our Father then should be obeyed because someone or some people, from time to time, in & outside the Church will be blessed by the blessings of your LOVE & OBEDIENCE, which also encourages –
Genesis 12.2-3; Galatians 6.9-10; & Matthew 22.39:
Genesis 12.2-3:
2 “And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing”:

3 “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed”.

Galatians 6.9-10:
9 “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not”.

10 “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith”.

Matthew 22.39:
“And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself”.

Dearly beloved, LIVING & WALKING THE LOVE LIFE after the Pattern of the First Begotten Son, our Elder Brother, Jesus, brings you into the realms of the SUPERNATURAL where your TOTAL HEALTH & your entire LIFE become increasingly BETTER THAN GOOD, & you become a perpetual UNRESOLVABLE PUZZLE for the powers of darkness!

Stay continually blessed with better than good testimonies, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

Your Blessing Today…

Better than good greetings, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

I strongly believe that you are already having a great time in the supernatural as our Father told us yesterday that this is our week of the SUPERNATURAL.

I bring to you the better than good news of the Kingdom, today, therefore!

Please, beloved, understand that the purpose of relationship is the backbone of the purpose of destiny or predestination.

Genesis 1.26: “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth”.

It is very clear from the onset, as the above qouted verse says, that the main purpose of man is for relationship – “Let US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE, AFTER OUR LIKENESS:…” – which then informs his purpose of predestination.

Also, in Hebrews 1.3,5, the Holy Spirit underscores this issue of relationship in reference to destiny, giving us the example of the First begotten Son of our Father, our Lord, Saviour & Elder Brother, Jesus:
3 “Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high”;

5 “For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son”?…

…And we’re told that this Pattern Son came to raise up many sons (& daughters unto glory, you & I):
Romans 8.29; Hebrews 2.10:
Romans 8.29: “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren”;

Hebrews 2.10: “For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings”.

As a matter of fact, particularly from Hebrews 2.10, we can assuredly affirm that Salvation was put in place for the RESTORATION & REVALIDATION OF OUR SONSHIP in the Kingdom!

Many believers aren’t walking in LOVE, not relating in their best & full capacity as children of LOVE because they aren’t only fearful but also discouraged by the negative reactions of those they show love to, & our Lord Jesus cautioned us beforehand when He said the LOVE OF MANY WILL WAX COLD BECAUSE INIQUITY WILL ABOUND – Matthew 24.12:
“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold”, but He quickly assuaged everyone’s fears that as WE TAKE GRACE TO ENDURE TO THE END, WE WILL BE SAVED – Matthew 24.13; Hebrews 12.28:
Matthew 24.13:
“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved”;
Hebrews 12.28:
“Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear”:

No wonder then, we were further enlightened that as we LIVE THE LOVE LIFE, OUR FATHER’S BRIGHT PRESENCE WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US, SHIELDING US FROM ALL EVILS, IN ALL REALMS: Hebrews 5.7:
7]In the days of His flesh [Jesus] offered up definite, special petitions [for that which He not only wanted but needed] and supplications with strong crying and tears to Him Who was [always] able to save Him [out] from death, and He was heard because of His reverence toward God [His godly fear, His piety, in that He shrank from the horrors of separation from the bright presence of the Father].(Amplified version)

Operating in LOVE helps the believer against being SEPARATED FROM THE FATHER’S BRIGHT PRESENCE, SO THAT NO EVIL OF SUFFERING, PREMATURE & SPIRITUAL DEATH WILL BEFALL US!

This is also corroborated in Hebrews 13.5-6:
5 “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee”.

6 “So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me”.

When you’re not living the LOVE LIFE, you’ll be fighting the powers of darkness & running the race of life in the energy of the flesh, which will certainly lead to confusion, frustration & discouragement – Ephesians 6.12:
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”.

Verses 11,13-16 instructs us on the whole armour of God:
Ephesians 6:
11 “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil”.

13 “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand”.

14 “Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness”;

15 “And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace”;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked”.

However, to put on the whole armour of God without heeding verses 10 & 17 renders the armoury totally ineffective:
Ephesians 6.10,17:
10 “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might”.

17 “And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God”:

You see, the child of God is to be STRONG IN THE LORD, WHO IS LOVE, so, the believer is to be STRONG IN LOVE, & verse 17 caps it with double emphasis – the helmet of SALVATION & the WORD OF GOD!

Remove LOVE from salvation & the Word of God, what is left is only myth, mysticism & the philosophy of men, which makes people to be most miserable – 1 Corinthians 15.19:
“If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable”.

But glory be to God because no matter what any man thinks or feels, our Father’s TRUTH IS AGELESS, TIMELESS & CAN’T BE WORKED AGAINST – 2 Corinthians 13.8:
“For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth”.

Keep INVESTING in your glorious, golden & royal purpose & destiny by walking the LOVE WALK & LIVING THE LOVE LIFE – Galatians 6.2,7-10:
2 “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ”.

7 “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap”.

8 “For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting”.

9 “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not”.

10 “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith”.

As you do this, ANY ATTEMPT FROM THE PITS OF HELL THROUGH ANY HUMAN AGENT WILL BE MET BY HEAVEN’S FULL RESISTANCE – Isaiah 59.19:
“So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him”.

Psalms 27.1-6:
1 “The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid”?

2 “When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell”.

3 “Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident”.

4 “One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple”.

5 “For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock”.

6 “And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD”.

As you continue in obedience to THE LOVE LIFE, the Word of Prophecy of LOVE’S MERCIES will answer in your life, & ALL WHO HAVE BEEN USED OF THE POWERS OF DARKNESS AGAINST YOU WILL BECOME YOUR HELPERS, in Jesus’ most colourful name! Isaiah 14.1-3, with the New Testament interpretation in Hebrews 13.5-6, earlier referred to.
Isaiah 14.1-3:
1 “For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob”.

2 “And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors”.

3 “And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve”…

Have a better than good week in the SUPERNATURAL & YOUR TOTAL HEALTH, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

LIVING IN TOTAL HEALTH – 3

Better than good greetings, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

I believe church was awesome today with the Father’s, Son’s & the Holy Spirit’s Presence, & the Sent Word for your total comforts, spiritual uplifting & progressive promotion?

Glory to Jesus, forever!

At King’s Delight Church Global this morning, we examined three more questions crucial to our Total Health as we continued in our teaching series: TOTAL HEALTH IS MINE!

1. What are you looking for?

What you look for determines what you see – Jeremiah 1.11-12:
11 “Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree”.

12 “Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it”.

Also, we see the example of our Lord & Saviour, Jesus Christ, in Luke 4.17-19:
17 “And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written”,

18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised”,

19 “To preach the acceptable year of the Lord”.

If you don’t know what to look for, everything & anything you see will look like it, & nothing is more frustrating like assumptions, particularly when they are wrong.

God’s Power is released for performance when you know & find what you’re looking for in His predetermined way – Acts 10.38:
“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him”.

Look for God’s Word for your TOTAL HEALTH & stop looking for OPTIONS! Jeremiah 15.16:
“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts”;
Proverbs 4.20-22:
20 “My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings”.

21 “Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart”.

22 “For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh”.

The Word of God is the major active ingredient of your creation, & whatever creates, sustains – Genesis 1.26-28; Deuteronomy 8.3; Matthew 4.4:
Genesis 1.26-28:
26 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth”.

27 “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them”.

28 “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth”.

Don’t be like the river that forgets its source, it’ll soon dry up…, you won’t dry up, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

Deuteronomy 8.3: “And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live”.

Matthew 4.4: “But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God”.

Always look for the SENT WORD – Psalm 107.20: “He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions”.

Romans 8.11: “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you”.

2. Who do you believe in?

Who you believe in determines the kind of power that flows in & works for you – Hebrews 4.2:
“For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it”.

John 6.28-29:
28 “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God”?

Hebrews 4.2:
“For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it”.

God’s Word is for our PROFIT as His children but we only get the PROFIT, including TOTAL HEALTH, when we act in obedience to the Word.

29 “Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent”.

Matthew 8.16-17:
16 “When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick”:

17 “That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses”.

1 Peter 2.24: “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed”.

Psalm 107.20: “He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions”.

Who you believe in determines what you partake of in life – 2 Chronicles 20.20:
“And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper”.

Matthew 10.41: “He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward”.

Philippians 1.7: “Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace”.

Don’t be deceived & deluded, except you partake of the grace of people who Jesus has SENT OVER your life, you’ll be limited in partaking of your inheritance among the saints in the light – Acts 20.32: “And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified”.

Ephesians 4.11-12,14-15; Colossians 2.19:
11 “And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers”;

12 “For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ”:

14 “That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive”;

15 “But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ”:

Colossians 2.19(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):

2.19 “Such a one does not keep his hold upon Christ, the Head, from whom the Body, in all its parts nourished and strengthened by its points of contact and its connections, grows with a divine growth”.

Did you notice how the Holy Spirit tells us on: “…in ALL ITS PARTS NOURISHED & STRENGTHENED BY ITS POINTS OF CONTACT & ITS CONNECTIONS, GROWS WITH A DIVINE GROWTH”?

Beloved, everything is going on better than good, very speedily, easily, peacefully, in a very grand style & colours for me, because I’m a product of graces, His manifold grace – 2 Peter 4.10:
“As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God” – & other graces, as Paul stated in Philippians 1.7:
“Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace”.

It is true that because you’re born again, you have the Anointing, the Holy Spirit in you, Who teaches you all things – 1 John 2.20,27 – however, it is your maturity level that determines what you understand of what He teaches, & understanding determines how easy & well things go for you in life – Proverbs 13.15:
“Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard”.

Rivers flow downwards & not upwards, likewise, the Anointing flows downwards & not upwards, that’s how the Wisdom of God designed it – Psalm 133:

1 “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity”!

2 “It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments”;

3 “As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore”.

Also, in Hebrews 7.7, the Wisdom of God tells us: “And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better”.

These are eternal principles that no one must attempt to alter!

Did you observe how our Lord & Saviour, Jesus, though anointed without measure, still humbled Himself to be more graced? Luke 9.29-31:
29 “And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering”.

30 “And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias”:

31 “Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem”.

Beloved, accomplishments in life are only possible without stress for partakers of graces – God’s manifold grace; & the grace of others SENT over you.

It is time to stop struggling & suffering & start accomplishing your glorious, golden & royal destiny & purpose without sweat & in TOTAL HEALTH!

Philippians 2.5-16:
5 “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus”:

6 “Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God”:

7 “But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men”:

8 “And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross”.

9 “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name”:

10 “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth”;

11 “And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father”.

12 “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling”.

13 “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure”.

14 “Do all things without murmurings and disputings”:

15 “That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world”;

16 “Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain”.

3. What are you saying?

Naturally, everyone voices out what he believes deep down in his heart, & that’s why arguments always come up because someone’s opinion defers from the other person’s belief, no matter the logic.

As children of God, therefore, it is very pertinent to be acquainted with, be filled with our Father’s Word to the point of conviction that spurs us to heavenly action on any issue, including our TOTAL HEALTH! Colossians 3.16:
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord”.

Faith, genuine faith, God’s kind of faith, Christlike faith must move the possessor to heavenly action: Hebrews 11.4-8,16-17,27-30:
4 “By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh”.

5 “By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God”.

6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him”.

7 “By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith”.

8 “By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went”.

16 “But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city”.

17 “By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son”,

27 “By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible”.

28 “Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them”.

29 “By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned”.

30 “By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days”.

Beloved, faith people are movers, not just shakers!

They move in obedience to God’s Word they have received through preaching, studying, meditation & revelation…, they don’t deceive themselves – James 1.22; 2.24,26:
“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves”;

2.24,26:
24 “Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only”.

26 “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also”.

Speaking the Word of faith is a major indicator of your faith life – 2 Corinthians 4.13:
“We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak”;

You can’t truly believe in TOTAL HEALTH & be speaking sickness & neither can you believe in financial/material abundance & be speaking lack, or you can’t be speaking hatred when you believe in love, you can’t speak doubt & fear when you believe in faith, you can’t speak defeat when you believe in triumph, you can’t speak suffering when you believe in His comforts!

Our Father always speaks what He believes – Romans 4.17:
“(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were”.

We are to be & do like Him.

Joel 3.10: “Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong”.

Isaiah 33.24: “And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity”.

Micah 6.1: “Hear ye now what the LORD saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice”.

Revelation 12.11: ” And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death”.

In the school of faith, you’re only permitted to have what you say – Mark 11.22-23:
22 “And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God”.

23 “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith”.

How then do you move with & in faith?

1 Timothy 4.8:
“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”.

You must take grace to consciously & deliberately exercise your divine nature, the Father’s Nature that you now have, possess at New Birth, when you received Jesus as Saviour & Lord – 1 John 5.13; John 17.2-3:
1 John 5.13: “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God”.

John 17.2-3:
2 “As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him”.

3 “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent”.

Your salvation in God through Jesus is to bring you gains, already settled, procured, purchased for you by the suffering, death & resurrection of our Lord & Saviour, Jesus, including TOTAL HEALTH, packaged for you in what the Word of God calls the BETTER THINGS THAT ACCOMPANY SALVATION – Hebrews 6.9:
“But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak” – summarized in Revelation 5.12 as power, riches, wisdom, STRENGTH, honour, glory, blessing:
“Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing”.

Our Father’s Nature, entire Life, is LOVE – 1 John 4.8,16:
8 “He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love”.
16 “And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him”.

Walk & live in LOVE, saying what LOVE says, doing what LOVE does, loving what LOVE loves, hating what LOVE hates, BEING MOTIVATED BY LOVE, that is, wholly AGREEING & COOPERATING WITH LOVE, WHO IS YOUR FATHER!

You EXERCISE in LOVE, in the FATHER, in GODLINESS until it becomes your LIFESTYLE!

When you put a little child of about 6 months old on a bed to sleep, & he wakes up, he’ll cry to get attention because he can’t leave the bed but if he was the one who went up there by himself, he’ll find his way out because he has exercised himself!

I am too sure that your entire life, including your TOTAL HEALTH will always be BETTER THAN GOOD, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

This is your week of SUPERNATURAL ENCOUNTERS, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!
