Gospel Reading For The Healing Message: John 10:1-10
Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. The watchmen opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice." Jesus used this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was telling them.
Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
The Healing Message: A Happy And Prosperous Life
God's desire is for us to have a life full of prosperity and joy. But why is it that a lot of us are living a life full of trouble and misery? Why does God allow these things to happen to us?
Matthew 18: 18-20 - "And so I tell all of you: what you prohibit on earth will be prohibited in heaven, and what you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.
And I tell you more: whenever two of you on earth agree about anything you pray for, it will done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, I am there with them."
James 4:7 - So then, submit yourselves to God. Resist the Devil, and he will run away from you.
-The power of life is given to us. It is for us to choose what we want. We are given the power to choose. Say no to evil and the misery and death that comes with. Choose life and you'll enjoy the goodness and prosperity that God has prepared for you ever since the creation of the world. Do not allow anything to come to your life that will only bring you trouble and hardships. Say no to these things!
1 Timothy 6:17 - "......but in God, who generously gives us everything for our enjoyment."
How can we have a happy and prosperous life?
1) Know what you have allowed in your life that causes troubles instead of a happy and prosperous life.
Heb. 12:14-18 - "Try to be at peace with everyone, and try to live a holy life, because no one will see the Lord without it. Guard against turning back from the grace of God. Let no one become like a bitter plant that grows up and causes many troubles with its poison. Let no one become immoral or unspiritual like Esau, who for a single meal sold his rights as the older son. Afterward, you know, he wanted to receive his father's blessing; but he was turned back, because he could not find any way to change what he had done, even though in tears he looked for it.
You have not come, as the people of Israel came, to what you can feel, to Mount Sinai with its blazing fire, the darkness and the gloom, the storm,......"
- Unforgiveness and bitterness is the root of all troubles and sickness that befall us.
2) Let go and let God.
- Let go of your unforgiveness and bitterness and let the joy of the Lord take over your life. Let God rule your heart and let the grace of God flow into your life.
James 4:6-8 - But the grace that God gives is even stronger. As the scripture says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."
So then, submit yourselves to God. Resist the Devil,and he will run away from you. Come near to God, and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners! Purify your hearts, you hypocrites!
3) Come and join a fellowship of believers who loves a happy and prosperous life.
Mat. 18:19-20 - "And I tell you more: whenever two of you on earth agree about anything you pray for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, I am there with them."
4) Start renewing your mind. Remove all things that causes you troubles from your thoughts.
Rom. 12:2 - Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God - what is good and is pleasing to him and is perfect.
5) Let go of those fearful and worrisome images in your mind. Then fill your mind with things that are beautiful, true, noble, right, pure, lovely and admirable. For what you believe will happen to you. Whatever you imagine, God will make it happen.
Philippians 4:8 - In conclusion, my friends, fill your minds with those things that are good and that deserve praise: things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honorable.
Eph. 3:20 - To him who by means of his power working in us is able to do so much more than we can ever ask for, or even think of:....
6) Keep quiet. Tame your tongue. Stop complaining. Stop murmuring. Stop talking bad words.
James 3:2-6 - All of us often make mistakes. But if a person never makes a mistake in what he says, he is perfect and is also able to control his whole being. We put a bit into the mouth of a horse to make it obey us, and we are able to make it go where we want. Or think of a ship: big as it is and driven by such strong winds, it can be steered by a very small rudder, and it goes wherever the pilot wants it to go. So it is with the tongue: small as it is, it can boast about great things.
Just think how large a forest can be set on fire by a tiny flame! And the tongue is like a fire. It is a world of wrong, occupying its place in our bodies and spreading evil through our whole being. It sets on fire the entire course of our existence with the fire that comes to it from hell itself.
- Let good and happy words flow out of your mouth. Learn to praise God in all circumstances.
7) "Give to others, and God will give to you. Indeed, you will receive a full measure, a generous helping, poured into your hands - all that you can hold. The measure you use for others is the one that God will use for you." - Luke 6:38
- Let go of your doubts and unbelief about giving your tithes and offerings. Give to God. God doesn't need your money. But his ministry does. So, more people will hear the message of salvation. Give and you shall receive. You can never outdo the generosity of God.
May you have a happy and prosperous life!
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
