Jesus still heals as of old.
Luke 17:12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: 17:13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. 17:14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. 17:15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, 17:16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. 17:17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? 17:18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. 17:19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
Our Master and Lord Jesus Christ spoke to the ten lepers, who sought his healing, to do something.. They did it and were instantaneously healed .
Very very unfortunately, only one out of the ten healed lepers came back to Jesus, to thank Him.
Jesus was surprised that others did not do same. Please learn a lesson from this.
God is displeased with anyone who manifest ingratitude to His benevolence.
It will deprive you if subsequent request from Him.
Our Master and Lord Jesus Christ was very thankful to His Father, during His earthly ministry.
Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
Don’t forget, He has left example for you to follow His steps.
In the way our Master and Lord healed these lepers, He can still do same for you today effortlessly.
This is because, He has not changed.
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
But then, there is a lesson to learn from the lepers.
They sought His help wholeheartedly , knowing fully, that, He had what it takes to heal them.
Luke 17:12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: 17:13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. 17:14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
Today, many so called believers seek Jesus for healing, but not wholeheartedly.
They always have alternatives. Just in case if Jesus fails, they have a recourse.
It is not wrong to use drugs..
But to have your hope resting solely on drugs or any other alternatives for restoration of your health, will hinder you receiving healing from Christ.
Hosea 10:2 Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
The Bible says, trust the Lord with all your heart.
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 3:7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
You must trust God at all times.
Psalms 62:8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
Even when you are afraid trust God.
Psalms 56:3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
The Bible says, look unto me.
Isaiah 45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
Those who look to God will never be ashamed.
Psalms 34:5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. 34:6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
If you desire healing and deliverance from Christ, you must trust Him wholeheartedly.
He calls you to come to Him for all your needs.
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
He has all it takes to give you total rest from all challenges.
Isaiah 14:3 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,
So reach out to Him now, for all your spiritual and physical needs.
Remember the Bible says you must seek His kingdom first.
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Don’t seek our Master and Lord for only earthly things.
1 Corinthians 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
Reach out to Him for biblical salvation and sanctification too.
Get prepared for the imminent rapture or eternity with God.
Come He calleth you.
Remember, He was anointed to heal and delivers you.
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.
Let us pray.
