Topic: God’s will in Heaven is our Total Health

Introduction: As we are already aware, the will of God in Heaven is already documented and packaged on earth in form of the bible. Therefore to know what God’s will is in heaven concerning our health and how to appropriate it here on earth, we have to find out from the word of God. This is quite simple to do because the promises of God in His word and the demands stated in God’s word for making them happen are open secrets to His children.

God’s will in Heaven concerning Our Total health:

First we must understand that in heaven right now, there is not sickness and disease. In fact any saint who has transited from time into eternity with any kind of infirmity is immediately set free at the point of demise. Sickness and disease are all issues on earth that require resolution on earth. For that reason, when you get born again and are translated from the domain of darkness into the kingdom of God. In this kingdom, we transit from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to the Lord Jesus Christ. See Col.1:13; Acts 26:16-17.

Being in Health is God’s will above all for us: In 3Jn.1:2  We are told that God’s will for us above all things is that we prosper and be in health even as our souls prosper. To appropriate this promise, we have to develop our souls to conform to the word of God by renewing our minds to walk in the ways of God. If we live like God wants us to live then heaven’s blessing of divine health will be released on us on earth.

Healing is the Children’s meat: While on earth, even if for one reason or the other, you are sick, God heals sicknesses and disease. Seventy percent of the miracles Jesus performed were miracles of healings. On one occasion when a Syrophonecian woman came to the Lord for healing, he told her healing was the children’s meat; in other words, healing was meant for those who were under the Government of heaven and not for all [Mk.7:24-30]. The reason is that it is what obtains in Heaven which God wants us in His earthly protectorate to enjoy. This is why God used this sign to authenticate His approval of the Lord and His call on the early Church fathers. See Mt.4:23-24 and Acts 5:16.

When we serve God faithfully, Healing is in the package of His reward: In Exodus 23:25, we learn that if we serve the Lord our God, He will bless our food and water and take sicknesses away from our midst. Thus healing and protection is in God’s service package for us.

Healing is God’s way of rewarding faithfulness: In Prov.13:17, we learn that a faithful ambassador is health. Thus if as an ambassador of Christ, you are faithful in carrying out your duty for the Lord, you will enjoy divine health or health in a way that you never anticipated. In 2Cor.5:18, we are taught that we are ambassadors for Christ. As a result of being such, we have diplomatic immunity which includes our protection and health in the package. Every one of us who is born again is called by God to testify on His behalf as an ambassador here on earth to the lost so that more people can receive the testimony of His redemption word and choose to repent and be saved. If we do our duties as ambassadors, we will enjoy diplomatic immunity and divine provisions which includes our divine health.

Healing is God’s condition of service for us as we follow Him: When the Lord called His first disciples, He told them to follow him. As they followed Him, it got to a point where they were able to do what the master did as well. They were used by God to heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out devils and do many mighty works. See Jn.14:12; 12:26

Healing is one of God’s means of honoring His servants: In the reward package for service, Healing and health is a key player. This is why Jesus honors His servants with healing when there is the need for it or gives them the ability to heal those in need of it. See Jas.5:14-15.

God’s terms for healing the sick

Take it by faith: Anyone going to God for any kind of help including healing must do so in faith otherwise they cannot get it. The reason for this is that without faith it is impossible to please God because He wants anyone coming to Him to believe that He is and also a rewarder of those who seek Him diligently. See Heb.11:6 and Jas.5:14-15. It is prayer said for the sick in faith that God honors.

Faith is only completed when it is uttered because it is only what you say that you will have because death and life are in the power of the tongue. See Prov.18:21; Mk.11:23 and Rm.10:10 – confession made unto salvation here refers to whatever we are trusting God for with our confession.  

To reach out to help other people get healed:

Preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to them: When you preach to them, emphasize that the redemption package is a total one including healing and if your business is to help them get healed, preach from the scriptures on healing to them.

Show that when Jesus hung on the cross for our redemption, all he suffered was also to ensure our total deliverance from sickness. This will help them have faith for healing. See Isa.53:1-5; Rm.10:8-11; 1Pet.2:24; Mk.1:40-42.

Finally, encourage the lost to make a decision for the Lord Jesus Christ by inviting them to say the following prayer out loud in faith so as to incorporate them into the kingdom because healing is the children’s meat:

Heavenly Father,

Have mercy on me a sinner. Today, I believe that Jesus died for me and you raised Him from the dead for my Justification. I therefore declare that Jesus Christ is my Saviour and Lord and from today, I renounce the fatherhood of Satan and embrace Jesus Christ as my Saviour and Lord. Thank you for this father in Jesus’ name! Amen.
