Jesus is that Balm of Gilead,the great Physician in Israel.
This is the divine provision God has made for the healing of the physical body of those who believe.
"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 keeep 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" (Exodus 15:26)
"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" (Exodus 23:25)
"He sent his word,and healed them,and delivered them from their destructions"
(Psalm 107:20)
"And Jesus went about all Galilee,teaching in their synagogues,and preaching the gospel of the kingdom,and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of diseases among the the people.And his fame went throughout all Syria:and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with diverse diseases and torments,and those which were possessed with devils,and those which were lunatick,and those that had the palsy;and he healed them" (Matthew 4:23,24)
"The centurion answered and said,Lord,I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof:but speak the word only,and my servant shall be healed" (Matthew 8:8)
"Then Peter said,Silver and gold have I none;but such as I have give I thee:In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.......and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.And he leaping up stood and walked,and entered with them into the temple,walking,and leaping,and PRAISING GOD" (Acts 3:6-8)
"And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong,whom ye see and know:yea the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all" (Acts 3:16)
Dear reader,it is faith in the name of Jesus that bring healing and health to all who believes.Identify with this faith today,the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ and your life will never be the same again.

"I am come a light into the world;that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness"(John 12:46)
"Then Jesus said unto them,Yet a little while is the Light with you.Walk while ye have the light,lest darkness come upon you:for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. While ye have light,believe in the light,that ye may be the children of light."(John 12;35,36)

"And this is the condemnation,that light is come into the world ,and men loved darkness rather than light,because their deeds were evil.For every one that doeth evil hateth the light,neither cometh to the light,lest his deeds should be reproved.But he that doeth truth cometh to the light,that his deeds may be made manifest,that they are wrought in God"(John 3;19-21)

Surviving Economic Meltdown
"Although the fig tree shall not blossom,neither shall fruit be in the vines;the labour of the olive shall fail,and the fields shall yield no meat;the flock shall be cut off from the fold,and there shall be no herd in the stalls:Yet I will rejoice in the Lord,I will joy in the God of my salvation" (Habakkuk 3:17,18)
There's famine in the land,all over the world.It is real.The world economy is failing.There's uncertainty and insecurity in the stock market.Things are really falling apart globally.
In the face of economic recession,the good news is that there's a God in heaven who cares for His own.David,the Psalmist of Israel said "The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want" (Psalm 23:1).True believers in Christ have every reason to rejoice in the knowledge of God as their great Provider.
God do supply for the need of His children.The treasure house of heaven cannot be exhausted.Even though things are difficult,God's children are still rejoicing.
There's no reason to doubt or fear,God can do it again.Fear not O christian pilgrims,for your Lord is still on the throne.
Faith in God is the answer.It is the antidote to worry and anxiety in times like these.Have faith in God,He watches over His own.His eyes is on the sparrows and as such I know He cares for you even YOU.

THE GOLDEN RULE
Doing unto others what we expect them to do unto us is the golden rule.
Christ emphasized the believer's responsibilities toward God and fellow men in His teaching.He did not only teach us what to know and believe, but what to do and what not to do.
As christians, our manner of lives must be Bible based.The scripture spells out clearly how we are to relate with our fellow men."Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you,do ye even so to them:for this is the law and the prophet"(Matthew 7:12)
Sefless love is the basic principle that should regulate our relationship with others.As it would not be our joy to be unjustifiably criticized,judged or castigated,so also must we not do to others.
It is unchristian to believe evil reports of others and act on same without first finding out the true position of things.This will disrupt fellowship and unity.We must do to our neighbours what we ourselves acknowledge to be proper and reasonable.
In our business relationship,we must be honest and trustworthy.Our business partners must be dealt with faithfully.Unjust weight and balances,adulteration of goods to have greater gain must not be employed in our dealings with our customers.
Godly virtues of honesty,love and purity befits every child of God who is devoted to Christ.
All men will definitely not understand us.There will be those who will approve of us and those who will do evil to us.When our labour of love is not being appreciated but rather rejected,we must still continue to love."recompense to no man evil for evil" Romans 12:17,21.

The Scriptural Significance Of Calvary
The experience of calvary gives significance to the life of mankind.
Calvary signifies a place where the greatest of history was made.The place where the Son of God was crucified for the redemption of human soul.Matthew 27:33-44,Genesis 3:15.
Calvary is a place where Christ submitted Himself,laid down His life so that mankind might be saved.
Here God's promise and plan of redemption was fulfilled and made a reality.
At calvary,Jesus feet was bruised being nailed to the tree while the head of satan,the arch enemy of humanity was bruised.Isaiah 53:1-8.
Calvary signifies the place of crucifixion.A place of fulfillment of promises and prophecies.The road to heaven will remain closed to mankind but not for calvary.
The Burden Of Sin
Sin is the greatest problem of man.It is the heaviest of all burden,too difficult for man to carry.The sin of the whole world was upon Christ at calvary.This is a place of suffering and humiliation of the saviour.
At calvary,the precious blood of Jesus was shed to wash away every sin of man. Mankind can now get his passport to heaven(God's place of abode)from calvary.
At the feet of Christ,there's forgiveness of sin,cleansing from sin's stains and freedom from the bondage of sin.
The Brasen Serpent
History has it that when Moses led the children of Israel out of Egypt to Canaan land,those that sinned against God were bitten by serpent.God then instructed Moses His servant to make a serpent of brass and set it up on a tree and it came to pass that whosoever was bitten by the serpent when he look at the serpent of brass was saved and not die.
Likewise at calvary,Jesus was nailed to the cross and lifted up that whoever believes on Him should not perish but have life everlasting.John 3:14-16.Numbers 21:5-9

THE MYSTERY OF MARRIAGE
Marriage is the coming together of a man and a woman as husband and wife,cleaving together in a life long covenant relationship.
Marriage is central to human existence as it is a God ordained institution.
God knows what is good for man and as a result He establish the marriage union ever before the fall of man in the garden of Eden when man was in his perfect state.
God is the founder and builder of the marriage institution.This is the first institution on the surface of the earth which is yet to produce a graduate.
PURPOSE OF MARRIAGE
Let's consider the divine plan and purpose of God for marriage.Every act of God is with a reason and so for marriage there is a reason.
Companionship-Marriage is the only institution divinely designed to fill this natural gap of affection and lonliness in man.It makes for companionship,sharing and living.
Partnership-Husband and wife are parners in progress.It becomes a mystery that two seperate individuals with distinct personalities,coming from different backgrounds with different plans and ambitions in life,to live and share together in the marriage union.
Procreation-"Go therefore,be fruitful and multiply" is God's command to man.This creative will of God is fulfil in marriage.The husband and wife are co-partners with God in the work of creating human life.
Preservation-Man is fulfilled as well as preservedas long as the marriage union is concerned.Human dignity and sanity is preserved as well.The society at large is equally sanitised by way of marriage,Preserved from evil and confusion.
Purity-Unlike the animal kingdom,man was created in the image and likeness of the Almighty God.God is holy you know!It is likewise expected of man to be holy.Marriage union makes it a possibility for the natural instinct and yearnings in man for copulation and affection to be expressed.
Health-Good health is paramount in God's plan for mankind.Through marriage,man is able to escape the hazards and infections associated with immoral and licentious living.Pandermic like HIV(AIDs) and STDs are a forgotten issue as long as faithfulness and fidelity in marriage is concerned.
Intimacy-The deepest and closest of all human relationships.
Unity-Two are better than one.
Power-Power with God and man.At man's disposal is the awesome power and authority given by God himself to be demonstrated within the context of marriage.
Marriage therefore is the total commitment of two hearts to one another,joined together in will,emotion,desire and ambition.
In essence,it is two seperate lives becoming one.
The success of one partner becomes the success of the other.The problems and challenges of one partner becomes the challenge of the other.
So we can rightly say that in marriage union,husband and wife become intricately woven together in the bond of love,united in body,soul and spirit.

THE PERSONALITY OF JESUS
Jesus is the Son of God,the second Person in the Godhead(Trinity).
He is the central focus of human history.
Before Jesus' birth,all dates are BC and after His birth,all dates are AD.
Jesus is the Alpha and Omega;the Bridegroom of the church and the Bread of life.
The Captain of our salvation and the Deliverer from all dominions of the devil.
Jesus is the Friend of sinners;the Guide to life eternal.
He is the Healer of all diseases;the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
He is the Liberator that came to set us free from all iniquities and infirmities.
Jesus is the Intercessor who is pleading for us in heaven;the Joy of the whole earth.
He is the Master over the storms of life;His Name is above every other name that is named either in heaven,on earth or beneath.
The Prince of peace is He;the Quickener of the dead;the Supreme sin bearer,Saviour and Sanctifier cleansing us from self and sin.
He is the Redeemer from death and the curse of the law;the Truth that transforms and sets free;the Victorious one and the Worker of wonders.
Jesus is the nearest Kinsman;the Lion of the tribe of Judah;the never failing Sunshine,the Lily of the valley,the Bright and Morning Star.He is the cooling factor where there's fire,the Peace maker where there's strife.
All we want is in Jesus.He satisfies,life He supplies.Life will be worthless without Him.If in utter helplessness we cast our all on Christ,He will be to us the whole treasure of God
However,Christ cannot be your Saviour unless He is first your Lord.He is the one whom you can approach without fear.He is the one before whom you may abase yourself without despair.You cannot follow Christ Jesus and go astray.

All we want is in Jesus.He satisfies,life He supplies.Life will be worthless without Him.If in utter helplessness we cast our all on Christ,He will be to us the whole treasure of God
However,Christ cannot be your Saviour unless He is first your Lord.He is the one whom you can approach without fear.He is the one before whom you may abase yourself without despair.You cannot follow Christ Jesus and go astray.
