3:00
Thank you. Thank you. And God bless you. Are you ready for God's word?
3:08
I want to speak on a subject by his stripes. I I did a small write up during
3:13
the week, but I want to speak on by his stripes. You ready for God's word? I
3:20
know you'll be blessed. Amen. Now, first of all, we understand
3:25
as Christians that we are healed by the stripes of Jesus Christ. This picture depicts all manner of
3:35
diseases whose whose strength is powerless in the
3:40
stripes of our Lord Jesus Christ. I do not know what disease is
3:46
known on the face of this earth. Whatever plagues the human body, whatever causes the human body to
3:53
struggle, it solution is in the stripes of our Lord Jesus
4:00
Christ. I need to establish this statement that healing is critical for
4:08
our human bodies. Tell somebody healing is
4:13
critical. Now what that means is that we cannot for once do anything
4:23
outside anything outside the will of God so you can monitor
4:33
it. Hallelujah. Please pardon me. Please um let's let's pause that one
4:41
and just concentrate on church cuz it's it's not going to work. So let's concentrate on the video recording so
4:48
that from there we can extract the audio. Are you ready with me? Thank you.
4:53
So healing is critical for our human bodies. What is healing? To become sound
5:00
or healthy again. That means you lost that soundness and health and you got it
5:06
again. Number two, to correct or to put right anything that has gone outside is
5:11
to heal. And finally, to restore and make well again. Healing is limited to
5:21
life. Tell them healing is limited to life. When you go to heaven, there is no such thing as healing. When you are
5:27
spirit, there's no such thing as getting sick. So healing is a divine gift that
5:33
God has given to us who live this life on this
5:38
earth. It is designed by God to meet the needs of our spirit, soul and body. How
5:47
does it help our spirit? Because then it is most physically for the
5:52
body. Now there's a statement that a healthy body gives a healthy what? Mind.
5:58
Our spirit is shaped by our thoughts. The Bible says as a man thinkketh so he
6:04
is. The unism of spirit and body is so important. Just as your soul is
6:11
important. The spirit and the soul they give strength to the physical body and
6:16
they live through the physical body to fulfill godly purpose. And therefore if
6:22
the body is incapable the spirit and the soul are limited. Tell they are limited.
6:29
And so it is important we stay healthy. Humanity was created for godliness.
6:34
Hence evil is not an option as it weakens and destroys us. The option to
6:40
live outside God only destroys us. God healing us gave us his son Jesus Christ
6:49
that in his suffering we might be restored to the nature and stature of
6:54
the perfect man whose God's godliness can dwell within and be used. Amen.
7:03
Before I speak any further, I'd like to share a testimony of the great William Branham, a mighty miracle worker uh who
7:10
lived in the 50s and he was such a mighty miracle worker that one day he
7:17
was traveling and he had a car accident. His wife died, his children died in the accident. He himself according to the
7:24
testimony we heard every bone in his body was broken. Was left with his little child
7:30
who was not yet dead. Then he asked the little child, "If only you can move me closer to anyone who is dead and I will
7:37
touch
7:47
them." According to eyewitnesses who saw it, they said he said he knew his time
7:53
was due, so he did not want to continue the journey.
8:00
Imagine if you have so much power and your body is incapable to move. Your
8:06
body is incapable to execute the daily desires of your king and master
8:13
Jesus. Health is not a privilege. Health is not a choice. It is a requirement to
8:20
live life. Therefore, healing is the reserve of
8:26
God's children and those who diligently seek him in faith or seek healing by
8:33
faith. The book of Matthew the chapter 15 26-28 says that but he answered and
8:39
said it is not is it is not meat. The word is not right tells us it's not right. It is not right to take the
8:46
children's bread and to cast it to dogs. And she said, "True Lord, yet the dogs
8:52
eat of the crumbs that fall from their master's table." Then Jesus answered
8:58
unto her, "Oh woman, great is thy fate."
9:03
Now he explains why she receives the healing. He said, "Great is thy faith.
9:08
Be it unto thee, even as thou wilt." And her daughter was made whole from that
9:15
very hour. This scripture tells us two things. Number one, that healing is the right of
9:22
God's children. It is their daily bread. It is something they must receive consistently in their life. Seeing the
9:30
hand of God restore, repair, regenerate, revitalize them every day is their right
9:37
as children of God. Are you with me, church? But that is not all.
9:45
The Bible says also that to those who believe, who seek healing by faith, they
9:53
shall be answered. Jesus said, "Woman, great is thy faith." Said, "I have done
9:59
everything. Let you know that you are not fit for this." The Bible said a woman besought Jesus that he would heal
10:05
her daughter. And he kept following Jesus everywhere. Jesus when Jesus didn't mind her, Jesus didn't even pay
10:11
any attention to her that she was there. The apostles began feeling bad. Said, "Master, either you heal or let her go."
10:17
She's been following us for for hours and time uncountable. If you not help her, let
10:23
her go because she's she's been worrying us for long. She will not stop. Then Jesus said to her, "It is not right for
10:32
what is meant for the children to be given to dogs." Said, "No problem. No
10:37
problem. No problem. I know that healing is the right of God's children. I am not a child of God. But remember that even
10:46
dogs what is of theirs is what is the leftover that men cannot eat. So there
10:51
is always a leftover healing. Jesus looked at the woman and said, "Oh, how great thy faith
10:58
is, woman. Because of this faith, that which you have desired should happen for
11:03
you." Healing is meant by God to provide restoration, revitalization, rebirth for
11:12
all his children. So we can live a fulfilled and and lengthy days on on
11:20
earth. We can we can so we can live and fulfill our lengthy days on earth or our
11:27
long life on earth. John the chapter 5 verse 1-9 says after this there was a
11:32
feast of the Jews. Feast of the Jews. And Jesus went out to
11:38
Jerusalem. Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool which is called in Hebrew tongue
11:47
Bethesda having five porches. In this lay a great multitude
11:53
of impotent folk of blind, halt withered
11:58
waiting for the moving of the water. For an angel went
12:07
down For an angel went down at certain season into the pool and troubled the
12:15
water. Whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was
12:22
made whole of whatsoever disease he had. And a certain man was there which had an
12:29
infirmity for 3 and8 years for 13 and eight years. He sought
12:37
for the opportunity to be healed. When Jesus saw him
12:43
lie and he knew that he had been he had been now a long time in that case, he
12:49
said unto him, "Would thou be made whole? Do you want to be made whole?"
12:55
The Iotan man answers, "Sir, I have no man when the water is troubled to carry
13:01
me and put me into the pool. But while I am coming, another steps down before me." Jesus said unto him, "Rise, and
13:10
take up thy bed and walk." And immediately the man was made whole, and
13:16
took up his bed, and walked. And on the same day was the Sabbath. Hallelujah.
13:28
Hallelujah. The Bible said there was a man who every circumstance of life
13:34
denied him healing for 38 years. Every circumstance known
13:39
possible. He couldn't be fast. He couldn't move fast. He had nobody to help him. All things on the face of this
13:45
earth withtood him from his healing. When he met Jesus, he just asked him one question. See the question
13:52
Jesus asked that people think was just a simple question. Jesus wanted to know what he
13:57
believed, whether he believed God will heal him. So just asked him, "Do you believe you will be made whole?" He
14:03
said, "Yes, I believe. But my only problem is I don't have a helper. If I
14:09
had a helper, I have no that's why I'm still here." For 38 years, I'm not here to beg. For 38 years, I have kept
14:15
trying. I have kept on exhibiting faith to see healing. And though I have not
14:20
seen it, I have not given up. And because I'm not giving up, I am still waiting. Jesus looked at the man and
14:27
said, "Walk up and go home."
14:33
Hallelujah. Tell somebody, "Do you believe?" God has gone the extra mile by
14:40
submitting Jesus Christ to little latch lashes of the Roman flaggroom to make
14:46
sure that irrespective of the situation and circumstance healing cannot be denied those who believe in
14:53
him. When Jesus withtood these dangerous whips and had wounds all over his body,
15:01
he was not doing that because it was cheap to beat him. It had a spiritual
15:08
significance. The Bible said he was cementing facts and truth. He was making
15:15
sure that every disease known to man will
15:20
crumble at the will of God as far as his healing is concerned. Isaiah 53:3 says, "But he was
15:29
wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities and
15:35
the chastisement of our peace was upon him and with his stripes we are
15:42
healed. The Bible didn't say that by our prayer or by an anointed and prophetic
15:48
person or by the power of a praying man we are healed. The Bible says it's by
15:54
his stripes that we are healed. So what does that mean? He made
16:00
sure that no condition or cause would deny us of healing. Hebrews 10:14 says,
16:07
"For by one offering he had perfected forever them that are
16:13
sanctified." You know, some of you across the mile and journey of your life, you make
16:20
mistakes. And when sickness come, the devil convinces you, it's because of your past sins. The devil tells you you have no
16:27
right to ask for forgiveness. It's punishment for your sin. Stay in there like that. And many people think that all
16:34
that Paul preached about is that anybody who thinks that because of grace they have sinned and there's no other grace
16:40
for him. Again, you should look at the verse 14 and 16 that Paul preached in Hebrews. And you'll be worried why Paul
16:46
said that. Paul said this. He said that for anyone who has come to believe in
16:52
Jesus, your sins have been washed once and forever.
16:59
Are you understanding what I'm trying to say? He said, "Christ has gone in once and offered unto God for
17:06
you, for you. And forever when your sin shall come, that same sacrifice is ever
17:14
effectual, ever true to sanctify you."
17:21
And so the Bible says that if we confess our
17:26
sins, he remains faithful to forgive us our sins
17:32
and to cleanse us from all righteousness. You know, one big problem we have in society. When you say this,
17:37
people take offense. The offense they take is that you allowing people to sin. How how does that even come into your
17:45
head? How does that even come into your head? This is not as if it is for only some
17:51
people. It is for everybody including you who thinks that people are being encouraged to sin. God has designed a way for every
17:59
one of us to find him and not be lost forever. Are you with
18:05
me? It is not a certificate to fall to sin. It is a shortity of his commitment
18:12
to make sure that sin doesn't take you. Are you understanding me
18:19
family? Are you understanding me family? Because God knows so long as you
18:25
remain a human being, you cannot remain perfect. No matter how spiritual you
18:31
are, no matter how much you fast and pray, no matter all the spiritual exercises, the parabolating, the
18:37
commitment, the hating of sin and everything, you will still sin. Huh? Either you judge others, look
18:45
down on others who are not pure like you, either you be hypocritical, either you do something
18:53
that is more of a human
19:00
behavior and sin is a human behavior. So when Jesus did this prior to the
19:07
cross, he was securing a process, an everlasting process where no
19:15
power of darkness, no witchcraft, no forces of hell can deny you upon no upon
19:24
upon any condition that you cannot be healed by the stripes of our Lord Jesus Christ.
19:32
Healing is not a demonstration of power but the proof of God's
19:39
love. The fact that we have the gift of healing doesn't mean we go around healing everybody. Do you know
19:47
why? Because the Bible said there were so many people sick yet unto a few did Jesus go to
19:54
heal. The Bible said there were so many people in the city but of the widow God sent
20:03
Elijah. If you are ready, God will send the help to
20:08
you. That is how the world works. If we decide to set up a healing
20:14
school, healing everybody, healing everybody, we are not only going to heal
20:20
the children of God, we are going to cast our precious spells before swines
20:25
also. Jesus said that if you cast your precious spells before swines, they will turn around, trample it, and dishonor
20:32
it. As a man of God, I have seen many people I've prayed for and they've been healed
20:39
and it has only ended up in them insulting God the more. It's only armed them to go and
20:46
hurt God the more. When they lied on their bed, they confess they knew Jesus. They they pleaded for
20:52
forgiveness. They were perfect on their beds. And being moved by this remorse,
20:57
we spoke to heaven. And I remember I remember about three occasions I praying for some people and the heavens told me
21:03
no. And I said, "Lord, do this for these ones." Even if they will not even say
21:08
thank you or even remember us, Lord, because of our labor, do this. We've left that room seeing those people
21:14
healed and we saw them getting further and further and deeper away from
21:22
Christ. The second thing about healing is that if you commercialize healing,
21:27
you allow the enemy and his forces to be resuscitated, restored. you allow them
21:33
to be rearmed to go back and do more harm to the body and the house of
21:39
God. So healing requires the love of God to to operate it. And God loves
21:46
everyone, including the sinner. Yes. But to them that God wants you to heal, he
21:52
will speak to your heart to do it. So it's a demonstration of God's
21:58
love. How? Let me show you. 1 Peter 2:24, the Bible says, "Who on his own
22:03
self took our sins into his body on the tree, that we being dead to sin should
22:10
live unto righteousness, and by whose stripes we were
22:16
healed." It took love. It took love for Jesus to withstand all this,
22:22
demonstrating the effectual and perfect love of God for us.
22:28
Matthew 8:16:17 says when the evening was come they brought
22:35
unto him many many many in the book of Matthew 8:1617 Jesus enters Peter's
22:40
house and Peter's wife is sick from fever and Jesus prays for the wife and the wife comes back to good health is
22:46
restored then Jesus began to sit and preach the Bible said when evening was come tell when evening was
22:54
come the Bible said when evening was come a A lot of people brought their sick to Jesus. And the Bible said that
23:01
when evening was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils and he cast out the spirits with his
23:08
word and healed all that were sick. What
23:13
did he do? He cast out the spirits with his what? Word. And then he healed them
23:20
that were sick. All that were sick. that it might be fulfilled which was spoken
23:25
by Isaiah the prophet saying, "He took our infirmities and bore our
23:34
sicknesses." Ladies and gentlemen, at this juncture, I would like to speak on
23:40
the first rule of walking with God. The first rule to walk with God is that believe that he's
23:46
trustworthy. Look at somebody's face and say, "Do you believe?" Tap somebody next to you and say, "Do you
23:52
believe?" No. No. Ask the person, "Do you believe? Do you believe that Jesus
23:57
is trustworthy?" The book of Titus 1:2
24:02
says, "In hope of eternal life, which God that cannot lie promised before the
24:08
world began, those that walk with God must believe that he is, and that he's a rewarder of them that diligently seek
24:16
him." Are you with me, church? So under no
24:23
circumstance should we doubt his gift of healing, neither doubt his grace and
24:29
mercy that he has bore our sickness upon himself that we might be
24:36
healed. Numbers 23:19 says, "God is not a man that he should lie, neither is he
24:42
the son of man that he should repent. Has he said it and shall he not do it?
24:47
Or had he spoken and shall he not make good? Hebrews the chapter 6:17 to18
24:52
says, "Whereining God willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of
24:57
promise the immutability of his counsel confirmed it by an oath that by two
25:04
immutable things in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation who have fled for
25:11
refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us.
25:19
Now for every word of God promised in scripture, God has swore by two things for which it is impossible for him to
25:26
lie. Himself and his word. That anybody who shall believe these things preached
25:32
these things received shall know that God is a God of
25:39
truth because it shall not fail. What are these two promises this
25:44
morning? I want us to look at the first promise, Exodus 15:26. Are you with
25:50
me? And he said, "If thou will diligently hearken to the voice of thy Lord God, and will do that which is
25:57
right in his sight, will give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes,
26:03
then I'll put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians. For I am the Lord that health
26:15
thee. Are you with me? So the first promise of
26:20
conditionality of healing is that God wants us to trust him, believe him, walk
26:27
with him, keep every instruction he's given us in life.
26:33
If we do, then the sufferings and the disease that we witnessed
26:39
among the heathen shall not be our
26:47
heritage. Exodus 23:25 says, "And you shall serve." Tell somebody, "I will
26:52
serve." Tell a person, "I will serve." Tell other person, "You shall
26:57
serve the Lord your God." and he shall bless thy
27:03
bread and bless thy water and he will take
27:09
sicknesses away from me from thee. Do you
27:15
believe? Look at somebody and say, "Do you
27:26
believe? Ladies and gentlemen, as I bring that service to an end, there's something I must tell you. Number one,
27:32
there's nothing wrong or there is no evidence of
27:40
faithlessness. If you want to seek knowledge of how to stay healthy and if
27:46
you seek medical care, what do I mean? If you are sick and you go to a hospital, you are not faithless.
27:53
You are not exercising faithlessness in God. It is wisdom to seek the knowledge
27:59
of what is wrong with you. So you are
28:05
healed. There was one time the people the people were were sick in Israel and God asked them where is thy healers?
28:11
Where are the medical doctors in your midst? Because just like God gave the
28:19
people of Israel knowledge of how to build a tabernacle, he gave some the ability to learn and understand the
28:26
human body and to be able to heal the
28:31
sick. Let me put it another word. Medicine
28:36
cures. What does the cure means? Cure means it provides the time and the
28:43
ability for the body itself to heal itself or to restore itself. Let me give
28:48
a classic example. When you are sick and you go to the hospital, no medicine can restore
28:55
you to your past. What medicine can
29:00
do? What medicine can do is to be able to give your body a fighting chance over
29:08
that disease or sickness or that infection. So that process is called a
29:14
curing process. preserving your state from going
29:20
worse and allowing your body to adjust and to work
29:27
alongside the medication to overcome the disease in your body so you are
29:36
cured. So even after you have left the hospital there's still a healing process
29:41
where it takes some time before your body is fully restored to what it was before.
29:48
Because the true purpose of medicine is to cure you and the true grace and power
29:54
of the most high is to heal you. There's a difference. Tell us there's a
30:01
difference. Let me quickly say this. There is everything wrong with seeking healing from anything
30:09
or everything that is outside God. So when they are sick, they don't care who prays for them. All they want is
30:15
healing. But the devil does not heal.
30:21
Hello. Because the No, no. What is God's words? I am the God that heal thee. When
30:28
God says I am that I am, it means he doesn't share with
30:33
anybody that privilege. And so if he is there and you will not
30:40
seek him. If he is there and you assume that with money you can buy it from
30:47
others, you insult him. What do I mean? If you're a
30:54
Christian and you have every inclination in your spirit and heart that Madame A, brother
31:03
B may be claiming to heal but it is not from God. Please don't go. Don't
31:11
intentionally go because you think you are in desperate need. Don't don't just go. Don't ignore the warning that says
31:18
don't go. Let me give you a classic example. A lot of us before we were born are
31:24
mothers going through hardships, going through demonic harassments, went to
31:31
seek help from shrines, went to seek help and assistance from powers, waters
31:38
and rivers. Some of you up to today that help has caused so many things in your
31:43
family up to today because the devil does not heal. He can only exchange
31:50
Let me explain further so there's no contradiction of what I
31:56
mean. Every shrine, every shrine, the spirit of every shrine is
32:01
witchcraft, male witchcraft. You can ask anybody if I am lying. For any shrine
32:08
that you know, the spirit behind that shrine or the spirit that makes it that
32:13
shrine is a male witch. You can ask any they will tell you. So
32:21
you believe that there's witchcraft in your house fighting you. Have you seen how funny it is? And then you went to the shrine to
32:28
go and stop that witchcraft in your home. Ladies and gentlemen, how do you stop fire with fire? How do you stop
32:34
fire with petrol? I want to know. So if there's anything they can do, say, okay, you want the trouble to
32:39
stop. Okay, then make an offering, a sacrifice. Either you're going to sacrifice all the children in your home,
32:46
generations of servitude and pain so you can experience a short time of
32:51
healing. Let me tell you this for a truth. Anybody who has gone to a shrine or anybody who has shrine this something
32:57
for it never lasts. You want your problem to stop, it's only for a few few days and stop then it comes back again.
33:04
But the covenant you signed off with other people's life, they will fight to
33:09
keep it forever. Why? Simple. The Bible says the enemy comes
33:16
to deceive, to kill, and to destroy. The deception is to let you
33:23
think they have solutions for you. It is only God who can offer
33:32
solution. For me personally, personally, I made it in my point of view. This is me. You don't have to follow me. that
33:40
anybody who did anything outside what Jesus did, I'm not interested. I don't care if you carry
33:46
the cup of life. If anybody carried himself, did things that didn't give honor to our
33:54
Lord Jesus Christ in any way, I was not interested. I don't care who is
34:00
testifying of you, I am not interested. Number two, if there is not a witness of
34:06
God in me that he has sent you, I am not
34:11
interested. That is my safe ground. Are you understanding where I'm coming from? Now, the Bible says the spirit of
34:19
God gives us witness within. Classically, if two witches are here, nobody needs to tell each other they are
34:25
witch. They can tell from themselves. But we are Christians presuming we have
34:31
the Holy Spirit but we can't tell the one who comes from God. Then we are not his own. Then we haven't received the
34:38
genuiness of the spirit. We probably received aura. It's like football aura. Everybody
34:45
shouting also shout. Everybody's happy also happy. But the reality of the evidence of the spirit in you is not
34:52
there. Am I making sense to somebody?
34:58
Hosea 4:6, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because thou has
35:04
rejected knowledge, I also have rejected you, that you should not be priests to
35:10
me. Seeing thou has forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget you and your
35:16
children.
35:27
We were having a discussion one day and somebody told me me I don't care
35:33
even the person said malam can heal me I'll go and I say that if the enemy the Bible
35:39
says we should be wise like the enemy you think the enemy he fights foolishly he's been fighting thousands of years
35:45
before you were born for all you might know for the sacrifice for the destiny any of the
35:52
family God is building with you uh is the reason why you're going through this small trouble to make it seem is
35:57
impossible. God cannot help you. So the day you go to his agent and you receive
36:04
something from him or her that destiny is squashed because you
36:10
allowed it.
36:20
So do not say you don't care. It tell it matters. Tell a person it matters to
36:26
your
36:32
destiny. Ladies and gentlemen, stop chasing
36:37
things like water from the well of Jesus.
36:42
black river water, Jordan sand, angel cloth. Start chasing several
36:50
useless things you think God's power is in it. Cuz the only way healing comes is by
36:58
the stripes of Jesus. And the second place where you can find healing is in faith. Not the
37:06
faith in earthly things but faith in Christ Jesus and his
37:16
stripes. Ladies and gentlemen, when problems come in your life, when your marriage starts facing darkness and
37:22
problem, when evil days come, don't see it as something
37:27
impossible because the Bible has promised us that problems will come. That's when problems will come.
37:35
But do not go seeking solution everywhere and anywhere assuming that
37:40
God is too slow. By the time God delivers you, would you have gone and be be
37:47
bones? I want to tell you something about the healing power of God. If a person has healing gift, if a
37:54
person has healing to heal the sick, he has power to make you rich. Because healing is the is the
38:02
power of God to restore to build and to increase. People that operate this gift
38:09
has power to transform your destiny and speak things to help
38:16
you. So it doesn't matter your situation. Be patient in Christ Jesus
38:21
because the matter concerning your marriage, your finances, your health are
38:27
all solved in his grace of healing.
38:36
Please walk away from it. the bans the you see sometimes the
38:41
enemy needs you to think that you know when I became a pastor the most funniest thing I ever saw or heard people think
38:49
that the kind of demons in my home are not like the kind of demons in Ghana people's
39:02
homes
39:07
domestic People say that and I laugh. I
39:14
laugh. So what are demons? Whether they speak true or speak English makes no difference. Do you know that demons are
39:21
fallen angels? The art of communication doesn't change any nature of theirs. Are you are you understanding
39:28
me? I heard the mighty Paul White say when President Trump lost his second
39:34
time in office and she began to pray publicly and said let's command demons from
39:40
Africa because African demons are to come and punish
39:48
America because at the back of some people's mind the demons here they are more powerful than the demons
39:56
everywhere and so when you teach God's word. People are not interested in the word. They want the sign and wonder
40:02
because they think that is the power to prove that you have more
40:09
power. Knowledge has escaped the church, the body of Christ today. And when the knowledge of the
40:15
things of God escape you, God is outside everything you do.
40:39
Sometimes sickness allows us to put things in
40:46
perspective. Sometimes
41:09
including increase by
41:43
But is are you ready spiritually and physically to be healed?
41:51
Finally, as I close, God expect you and
42:02
me to learn of everything that can make us healthy and live long.
42:27
The fact that God has promised to make sure that he will keep us healthy does not mean we should eat ourselves to
42:39
death. Now listen to me. When the promise of God said that I will
42:45
bless your water and your food, your bread and your water, he gave us the
42:52
keys to our health. Look at me. The keys to our health, what you drink and what
42:59
you eat can make you sick in life. Do you know
43:06
that? Do you know that the path to your good health is what you feed this body?
43:16
It's not as if exercise is not exercise is important. But what you eat is extremely important. What you drink is
43:22
extremely important. As I close, look at me. Every
43:30
food you eat in this world, no matter whether it's pepper, whatever food you eat, the body
43:36
can only handle it in three ways. Whatever you eat, either the body
43:42
converts it into sugar and use it immediately or into fats and use it over
43:49
a period of time. Are you with
43:58
me? Whatever you eat until the body breaks it down into this last component,
44:04
the body cannot absorb it. Whether it's spice, whatever it is, this is how the body is able to handle.
44:12
Whatever the body doesn't need, it turns it into raw fish to get out of your
44:18
system. So we must eat the kind of food that makes us
44:23
healthy. You are a young man today, you can sit down and eat six balls of kink.
44:36
Maybe your father could chop six balls of fufu. But those days probably is a
44:42
farmer. He will farm from morning to evening. Because food is energy to the body. Number one. Any energy you don't
44:50
use it will go into here, into there, into there, into there and make you fat.
44:59
So though you're not eating much, your body has gone into storage because everything you are eating is learning to store
45:07
it. Even when you must fast, there's a knowledge of how to
45:17
fast his waist is around 50 and they are fast. They not fasting but God to a time
45:24
their body now began to think they in starvation. So everything they ate it
45:29
went into fats so that tomorrow when they will really need it they will get
45:37
it. So from today there's one thing I want you to promise yourself. Promise yourself to learn
45:43
anything that is good for your health. Learn everything about
45:52
cleanliness. Are you with me? Learn everything about
46:00
neatness. Learn everything that you need to know about food and how it affects
46:06
your body and learn how to understand the importance of water in your body. Do you
46:13
know even there is a time to drink water? Do you some of you
46:19
know but you are taking a lot of water and you're making yourself sick? Your kidneys may be strong but you
46:27
are diluting all the nutrients in your body. Your body is not able to absorb. So when do I balance this? As a
46:35
Christian when I seek knowledge. That's why I seek knowledge.
46:41
Be hungry for the information that keeps you healthy. Otherwise, sick days will
46:48
come. You see, if God said there is healing, then that means there's assurityity of sick days to
46:53
come. But if you keep yourself healthy, you have fewer sick
47:00
days, giving the body more resistance and strength to survive this life. Bow
47:07
down your head and let us pray.
47:17
The knowledge to be
47:23
healthy, it's available today. The Bible says, "Wisdom and
47:28
knowledge shall be the stability of your times." In our time today, knowledge of
47:35
information. Some of you go on Tik Tok, the only thing you watch is funny videos. If it's not funny, you're not
47:41
watching. You're not hungry for knowledge that affects your today and
47:48
tomorrow. You're not preparing. You're not even learning about first aid. If something happen, what's the next thing
47:53
to do? You are not learning anything that develops you. I don't blame
47:58
you. A lot of you here, I put a lot of things on our church platform. Some of
48:04
you don't even watch it or read it.
48:31
Tell somebody, "Stay healthy." Begin to pray to God and say, "Lord, help me. Make me hungry for
48:40
knowledge. Let my faith in you for healing multiply and increase.
48:49
Let me understand things that I never thought were important. Even to understand how
48:56
bathing helps the body is a different kind of knowledge. How cleaning the body every
49:04
day may stop certain infections and and cause the skin to heal easily and
49:11
faster. Dealing with body order, dealing with things. These are knowledge that will affect the impact of your
49:20
life. You can pray for a thousand years and and if these knowledges are not
49:26
there, you will still encounter troubles that will seem as if the grace of God is
49:31
not sufficient
49:38
for. I pray for you today that you will
49:43
learn that you not only watch but whatever you watch you would add on to knowledge. Breaking myths and beliefs
49:51
from ancestral things that have no value to you today.
50:01
understanding your medical conditions and finding out ways to maximize your
50:07
situation for your best health. Now, Holy
50:14
Spirit, in thy name, I confirm the ability and will to do this in your
50:21
people in Jesus name.
50:27
I pray for anyone sick in our midst and anyone who watch this in the future and
50:33
anyone who watch this today. If any of them is sick in any way, spirit, mind,
50:39
soul, and body, I stand by the stripes of our Lord
50:45
Jesus Christ and declare their redemption from sickness, disease, and death,
50:52
restoration of their finances by the stripes of our Lord Jesus
51:00
Christ. Amen. And amen. Give a clap offering unto
51:09
Jesus. Is somebody ready with this offering for God? Take out your second
51:15
offering. I want to encourage you those who haven't been able
51:22
to yet decide to join the church. want to encourage you to make yourself a member of this
51:29
ministry to come to where you are being prepared for a better and glorious
51:35
destiny and the arm of God the power of the Holy Spirit will speak for you and
51:41
turn things around for your good in Jesus name.
51:58
Father, we bless the seed in our hearts that will go and come back. Measures pressed down, shaken together, and
52:04
running over in Jesus name. Amen.
