Chapter One The Premises
There are revelations that control every great experience in God from the Scriptures.Every child of God is saddled with the responsibility of searching out whatever revelation it is to activate the power of God in the issues of their lives.
The word of God is the custodian of the wisdom of God and wisdom is the force behind power.Like we say Knowledge is light but wisdom is power.Knowlegde on its own is a pointer to a direction,it's an enlightenment,when it is applied that is when the dividend is rewarded or enhanced.That Application is Wisdom.
Proverbs 25:2
It is the glory of God to conceal a thing but the honour of Kings is to search out a matter.
Available in the scriptures are both Rhema ( spoken words ) and Logos (Revealed word) that can cause the power of God to transcend on any matter,but it is our responsibility to search it out.Just as the Rhema that came to Peter in Mathew 14 : 28 "...bid me come into thee on the water...And he said,Come". That word "Come" is a Rhema ( spoken word) and Peter came and walked on water ,they are private words ,spoken to specific person or people,as you read now,the Spirit of the Lord can nugde your spirit to come and you come out of that sickness or deathbed.
On the Other hand,Logos (the Revealed) are general words revealed to any individual that connect with a particular verse of the scripture.As in Psalm 23:1 ' The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want ....'.It means as long as I am a child of God,there will always be a divine provision.With this premises ,no chlid of God is expected to be stranded with food,clothes and shelter.( Basic needs).But ignorance of this revelation has caused many children of God to be on the street,no food and no clothes .Also the other part carries weight as well ,Psalm 23:4 " Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death ,I shall fear no evil;for thou art with me,thy rod and thy staff ,they comfort me"
See the revelation behind this verse Is so powerful ,such that anyone that understands it cannot fear deathfested sickness or in the midst of war.Why? Because he will have the understanding that as long as God is with him,though he is passing through the shadows of death like; Cancer,Aids,Corona Virus or any terminal disease,even in the midst of war like the war in Ukraine or terrorist feared environment.Firstly,he believes God is with him.Sexondly, he shall not fear any evil,( cos fear brings torment,see chapter 7),Thirdly,he relies on the word of God (rod) and His power (staff).Such person will come out healed or delivered from any evil or troubled.
LAWS
There are several laws in the word of God which are still binding on us as Christian's and some are not binding on us.Firstly,laws are rules and regulations that regulates the actions and inactions of man for rewards or punishment.There are some kinds of laws in the scriptures,out of which I will mention four;
1) Civic Laws : These are laws that bound on the Israelites in the old testament which regulates their civic right and interrelational conducts,which the judges of those days use to keep them in line with God.
2) Ceremonial laws: These are laws that regulate the priestly office,the conduct of sacrifices and ritual rights.
3) Servicial Laws :These are the 10 Commandments that regulates our service to God and relationship with other men.These laws are still binding on us as christians and it is pursued by our faith in the righteousness in Christ Jesus( Romans 5:17).The continual violation of these laws breaks the edge and open a child of God to negative experience and obedience to it makes us to be at peace with God and making qualify for the blessings of God (Proverbs 14:34)
4) Monumental Laws : These are laws that govern divine blessings ( like; good health,prosperity,longevity,divine protection,success in business and in life etc).They are much applicable to us and to be ignorant of these laws is to walk with God and not maximize His good plans for us.We call these laws revelation because they are hidden truths all over the scriptures and it is truth that set free (John 8:32),it takes our genuine search or study to get in and understand them.I will expound it so much in this chapter.
These laws are divine principles that regulate the actions of man to align them with rewards or consequences.
They are so extant that once you tap into them,you activate the power they carry.
Isaiah 34:16
Seek ye out of the book of the LORD,and read ;no one of these shall fail,none shall lack her mate; for my mouth it hath commanded ,and his Spirit it hath gathered them.
This shows that these laws are spoken by God and activated by the spirit of God.Here we shall focus on the laws that have to do with health and longevity.
Let's understand once again that the words of the Lord is a law,once He speaks ,it becomes a decree and and there is power behind the word to come to pass,for anyone that discovers and believes it.As the scriptures days ' wherever the word of a king is,there is power...? Ecc 8:4
The Revelation for health and longevity
These are some revelation I carved out from the scriptures but you can get many more by yourselves.
1) Mathew 8:17
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet ,saying,Himself took our infirmities,and bare our sicknesses
Expound
Jesus the healer by His sacrifice on the cross took the place of our sicknesses and infirmities,just as He took our sin ,He also took our sicknesses and diseases,so sickness does not have the right over us any longer.
2) Isaiah 53:5
But he was wounded for our transgressions,he was bruised for our iniquities;the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed .
Expound
By the flogging of Him on the cross had become a seal for our healing,Jesus took it all ,it's all Him,we can no longer bear any longer cos our healing has been settle from the word go 2000 yrs ago,now we were healed even before the sickness started.
3) Mark 16:17-18
And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devil's,they shall speak with new tongues.They shall take up servants; and if they drink any deadly thing.It shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.
Expound
I studied the scriptures 18yrs ago and I became free from sickness totally,now I enjoy divine health (no longer sick).For as many that believe in Jesus and His word,they will use His name to cast out any sickness in themselves and others,even when they drink poison in life and in sleep,it shall not hurt them.Believe it.
4) Luke 10:19
Behold,I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions,and over all the power of the enemy : and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Expound
The Lord Jesus has given us Authority (permission to use His name) to try on Satan's attack against you and to subdue whatever damage they have caused in your body.
5) Mark 11:24
Therefore,I say unto you, what things soever ye desire,when ye pray,believe that ye receive them,and ye shall have them.
Expound
Kenneth Having of blessed memory caught this scripture at age 16yrs when he diagnosed of a heart deformity and a strange sickness,then the Doctors have up on him and he was given 3 months to live.Standing on this revelation,he exercised his faith on the word and he was healed and lived for about 70yrs after.Later in this book ,we shall discuss more on faith.
The Scripture say whatever you desire even if it's a healing to a health condition,when you pray,believe that you have received it and it shall come to pass .To believe means to agree that the word is true and as well to agree that you are healed after the prayer,then begin to demonstrate your healing by moving around ,even when it seems that the sickness or the pain is still there,you believe you are healed and you demonstrate it.Faith takes over from believe ,once you believe then complete it with faith,that was what Kenneth Hagin did,he did pray on that strange health condition after he caught the scripture and he demonstrated his healing by moving around the round even when it was not convenient but as he doing so there was a perfection in his body,that is how faith works ,it is completed by your own application of your believe.see Luke 17:11-15
6) 1Peter 2:24
Who his ownself bare our sins in his own body on the tree,,that we,being deal to sins,should live unto righteousness by whose stripes ; ye were healed.
Expound
The same way that He bore our sinss and by this understanding we are no longer a sinner and free, so He bore our sickness in the same vein and by our understanding we can confess that we were healed or we are no longer and we shall be free,as we confess Jesus took my sickness and now I m free because by His stripes (wounds on the cross) ,I am healed.Its a past tense ,we were healed and that settles it,no negotiations.
Longlife and safety in crisis
1) Exodus 23:25-26
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.
There shall nothing cat their young ,nor be barren ; in thy land : the number of thy days I will fulfill.
Expound
As you see e the Lord,always understand that God gives you an assurance of longlife,the number of your days He is bound to fulfil,the number of your days as Moses declared (120yrs),another place,he said (100yrs),David said (70yrs).The choice is yours ,the fear and anxiety of old age or fear of untimely death kills alot,even in the midst of crisis or war ,don't think of death but believe in God.
2) Psalm 23:4
Yes,though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil;for thou art with me ; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Expound
I have explained this earlier,no matter the state of darkness ( danger) you are in,(kidnapp,sickness,war,terrorism,abusive marriage etc )as long as you believe He is with you,you stand upon the word and the power of the spirit) and you are not afraid ,you are safe
3) Proverbs 10:27
The of the Lord prolongs life but the years of the wicked will be shortened.
Expound
Practice the fear of God in all that you do and you shall enjoy longevity and also your life will not be shall preserved even in the face of life threatening conditions.Wickedness brings short life ,desist from it.
4) 1Peter 3:10-11
For he that will love life,and see good days,let him refrain his tongues from evil ,and his lips that they speak no guile.
Let him eschew evil,and do good; let him seek peace and ensure it.
Expound
This scripture entrust some responsibilities to us that will enable us see old age.It talks about our tongue,don't speak roughly to elders or people, especially your Parents ( As the scripture advises that you honour your Parents that you may live long),also don't speak faithless words like ; I can die at anytime,dont speak death to yourself always,refrain from using the word death on yourself and lastly seek peace and do good.Stop causing troubled and creating enemies for yourself ,stay out of troubled and be kind to People around you.
5) Genesis 6:3
And the LORD said,my Spirit shall not always strive with man,for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
Expound
The Lord had promised that He will no longer be excessively angry with man because he is a flesh,so 120yrs shall be his days.So anyone that believes it and do good and will not fear death or sickness will enjoy it.
6) Psalm 91:1-2
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most high shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty
I will say of the LORD,He is my refuge and my fortress : my God in him will i trust ....'16; with longlife will I satisfy him,and show him my salvation.
Expound
This is one of my very best assuring scripture,cos everything pertaining to our protection and longevity is assured here as long as we dwell in His secret place (we are saved and we stay on the word) and we trust in Him as our refuge and fortress.Every blessings of the LORD respond to certain obedience of His word, that's why I always stress out the responsibilities before the blessings ,it is not just to pray but choosing a special revelation like this to build your prayers on.Psalm 91,you'll see that you are protected from a lot of things,spiritual arrows,pestilence( pandemic like Corona Virus) or any other sickness, protection in war zone('7,thousand shall fall by thy side and ten thousand by thy right hand ,yet it will not come near thee ) lastly the promise to satisfy you with longlife.
Provisions of God's healing
Psalm 107:20
He sent His word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
Luke 5:17
And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by which were come out of every Torun of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the lord was present to heal them.
Isaiah 34:16
Seek ye out of the book of the lord and read: no oe of these shall fall, none shall her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his sprit it hath gathered them.
All through the scriptures are healing principles and virtues that become active upon discovery. They are so potent that, they can cure and heal any malady when meticulously observed. Just as that last verse says "no one of these shall fail" because they are words commanded from the mouth of the Lord and the Holy Spirit gathers them.
Every time the word of God comes alive to you either through Rhome or logos, the spirit of the Lord activates the word and brings to pass the content of the word.
God never created sickness with man at creation it was the disobedience of the first man Adam that opens humanity to sicknesses and diseases, just as the word says "he that digest a put shall fall into it and whose breakout an hedge, a serpent shall bite him"(ecel 10:8) Adam the first man broke the hedge and serpent of sicknesses and diseases have since then been buting mankind, human race become a lawful capture to the devil. That singular get of disobechence gave human up to the devil to attack them luck 4:6
And the devil said unto Him (lordJesus), all this power will I give thee, and the glory of the: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoevers I will I gave it.
The devil told the master lord Jesus that the power and the glory of this world had been given to him, but He never argued with Him, he knew it is true because Adam the first man gave it to him (the devil). Before Adam is disobedience, the chain of command was like thus;
God
Man
Devil
After the fall of man, chain of command changed and it fumed out like this;
God
Devil
Man
There are several scriptures Christ like the last scripture we read that confirms this.
Luke 4:6
"...….for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it"
11corinthman 4:4
"in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which behave not,...…"
Daniel 10:13
"But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days...."
Ephesian 6:12
"for we wreathe not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against scriptural nakedness' in high places."
You can see all these scriptures print to the ruler ship of the devil in this world and the lastverse explains further the Mesachie's in the devil kingdom in this world. Therefore, the ruler ship of devil can only bring forth his three dimensional agenda which are; to steal, to kill and to destroy.(john 10:10)
Proverbs 29:2
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked beware rule, the people mourn
As the devil rules the world, the people will mourn in sickness and diseases, and as well as many terrible things. However, the devil's menace on human race has been potentially truncated by the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus. All his power and terror against human race was brought to a halt potentially by our master Jesus. His sacrifice on the cross all the sickness and diseases and other evil deeds, and has shipped him off his authority over human race potentially.
The Lord Jesus has now restored human race to his rightful place potentially and the chain of command has now returned back to;
God
Man (potentially)
Devil
I mean potentially because only those who will adhere to the terms and conditions will enjoy this new status. The forms and conditions are the kingdom of God and his righteousness. Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these thing things shall be added unit you.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God
Seeking for the kingdom also means to search or seek to enter into the kingdom and be a citizen of it (which is salvation) and to seek to know right and principles in the kingdom.
(Knowledge of the principles and promise in the scriptures).
This is to say that, to enjoy the provisions of Jesus' scrijile, you must first be saved and also understand the principles and promises made available in the scriptures.
There is a person of God and there are principles of God many Christians stop at the person of God, they know so much about the person of God careless about the principles of God. I make bold to tell you that such Christian will only enjoy the person of God like; the joy of salvation the love of A God, enteral life and favors of God, but such person will not every so much of the divine promises that is led to divine principles. Just like Lazarus Luke 16:20; 23
"And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus which was laid at his gate, full of sores...….. And in hell he lift up his eyes; being in torment, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
You see Lazarus who knew the person of God by behaving in him yet lived all his life in sickness and poverty but at the end made it to heaven because he lacked the knowledge of the principle of God. Many Christians and even pastors are in the position, they only live by the person of God and as well as ten commandment but they lack the understanding of the principles of God that would engender the promises of God that guarantee their; divine health, divine healing, divine protection, divine supplies, divine abundance, divine rescue, divine success and divine victory in recession.
Also a person like Jacob knew so much of the person of God but lacked the knowledge of the principles of God, principle of faith to precise. His knowledge of the person of God brought him God's favour and love, he prospered and joy all around but he lost everything to ignorantly violating the principle of faith and that singular ignorance wreeked his life fortune & family. Job 1:1
There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright; and one that feared God, escheived evil.
And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousands camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household, so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.
Job 3:25
For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
I was not in safety, neither had a rest, neither was I quiet ; yet trouble came.
Job received so much of God's favors and accolades yet he broke the hedge by his own actions and violation of principles and serpent bit him alone; his business, children all around him. As the scripture says "whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him"
Inbuilt in principles are judgments, whatever action you take, either inobeying or disobeying the principles, the reward or punishment is in it. So there is nothing like it is a mistake or "I don't know", ignorance is not an excuse.
Hosea 4:6 " My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge I will also reject thee ...…"
God is no respecter of persons, either a Christians or pastor. Whoever breaks this principles syns up for the consequences. Later in the book, I will explain all about spiritual principles.
His Righteousness
Matthew 6:33
As you seek for the kingdom of God, also seek His righteousness. He asked us to come into comformity with His righteousness. Righteousness which means the ability to stand before the LORD without any sense of guilt. Heb 4:16 "let us therefore come unto the throne of grace to help in time of need.
Come bodly to God with the sense of righteousness. There are two forms of righteousness which are; the gift of righteousness and practical righteousness.
The Gift Of Righteousness
Rom 5:17
For if by one man's offence death reign by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of righteousness and shall reign in life by one Jesus Christ.
At Salvation, we receive the gift of righteousness by Faith. There is a garment of righteousness that is put on us which can be assessed by faith. The first kind of righteousness that must be understood is the gift of righteousness this form of righteousness is a gift from God to us through Christ Jesus.
II Corinthians 5:21
For He that made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him (Christ Jesus).
So by the unmderstanding of this righteousness we can stand before God bodly without any sense of condemnation and also we are no longer a sinner by saint of God.
Romans 8:1
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk after the flesh, but after the spirit.
By this understanding of the gift of righteousness, we are now free from guilt or condemnation as long as we believe in the provision. Also when we sin against God, we go on our kneels and beg God for forgiveness and he forgives us.
Practical Righteousness
This is the foem of righteousness that requires us to adhere to the instructions of the scriptures. It is also called Holiness, the outward appearance of righteousness. The gift of righteousness is a white garment given to us that makes us have access to God and the practical righteousness is the act of ensuring the white garment is clean and is not stained.
Phillippian 2:12
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.
This means you work out this righteousness with fear and trembling. It's a state of Holiness that makes up practically avoid sin and makes us adhere to the instructions of the scriptures.
We have to combine the two forms of righteousness, the gift of righteousness and practical righteousness in our work with God. As much as the former is by faith, the later is by our actions. Walking in righteousness both by faith and by action makes us to stand before God and shut the mouth of the devil against us. Unrighteousness means continuous committing sin, this can break the hedge around us and open us to the attack of sickness and diseases.
