TOPIC: OVERFLOWING HEALTY

MEMORIZE: “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” – 3 John 2 (KJV)

READ: Acts 5:14-16 (KJV)

14 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)

15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.

16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 4-5

MESSAGE

God’s will is not just for us to be healthy but to overflow with health. You can be so healthy that when sick people touch you, they will become healed. The Lord Jesus was overflowing with health, which is why the woman with the issue of blood simply touched the hem of His garment and was healed (Matthew 9:20-22).

Years ago, a teenager who had sickle cell anaemia and had been sick all his life stood up to give a testimony in church. He said, “I heard that Daddy G.O. is coming to this church next Sunday. I want to testify that I will be healed next Sunday.” Somebody called me to tell me the teenager’s testimony, and I started praying that God would allow me to meet him. As God would have it, the young man was standing outside as I got to the church and came out of my car. He didn’t look like a teenager at all; he looked so tiny. He came to me and said, “Daddy, I’ve been sick all my life, but I am confident that since you have come to this church today, I will be healed today.” I hugged him and said, “It will be unto you according to your faith.” I got his letter some months later, and he wrote, “Dear Daddy, I want to thank God, and I want to thank you. I have been healed since the day you came to our church.”

Beloved, Jesus didn’t just die for you to be healthy; He wants your health to overflow such that any sick person you lay hands on will become healed and healthy. He said in Mark 16:17-18:

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

In 1 Peter 2:24, the Bible says that Jesus paid for your health; this is why you must hate sicknesses and diseases passionately. Just as Peter’s shadow healed the sick (Acts 5:15) and handkerchiefs taken from Paul’s body drove out diseases from people (Acts 19:12), God wants you to overflow with health and become a channel of healing and health to others. I pray that you will live in constant health all the days of your life and that the healing anointing will flow through you to others, in Jesus’ name.

PRAYER POINT

Father, please fill me with overflowing health so that I will never be sick again, and the sick will be healed through me, in Jesus’ name.

HYMN 7 – I Am Thine O Lord

1. l am Thine, O Lord

I have heard Thy voice,

And it told Thy love to me;

But long to rise in the arms of faith

And be closer drawn to Thee.

Chorus:

Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,

To the cross where Thou hast died.

Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer bless Lord,

To Thy precious, bleeding side.

2. Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,

By the power of grace divine;

Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,

And my will be lost in Thine.

3. Oh the pure delight of a single hour

That before Thy throne I spend,

When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee,

my God

I commune as friend with friend!

4. There are depths of love

that I cannot know

Till I cross the narrow sea;

There are heights of joy

that I may not reach

Till I rest in peace with Thee.
