The events below happened exactly one year ago, I got this off my Facebook memory and felt the need to share. I wrote this exactly one year ago, I know it will bless you and challenge you as it did me…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Revelation 12:11 NKJV – And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony……..
Refuse, to be in agreement with anything that is not of God, anything that is outside the word of God or that is not from His kingdom. Believe and stand on Gods report ONLY.
Let me give a testimony today and show you that the word of God is true and powerful. Yesterday I got sick; I started feeling off in the morning but ignored it. Later in the evening I went out for a walk to enjoy the setting sun and when I got back home after like 30mins I started shivering. Within one hour I was so sick, unbelievably so. You name it, I felt it, from joints to high fever, weak body, swelling throat, headache, unable to stand and walk straight etc. I literally had to dress like an eskimo to try and contain the shivering. All this while using an electric heater to keep warm. That is how terrible I felt.
I refused to give in to the state of my body and remain sick. Despite how I was feeling, I kept saying to myself I am not sick, all in a bid to convince myself that indeed I am not. If you speak it and believe it, you will have it.
Mark 11:23(b)……………………and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
I had to fight this thing tooth and nail. I started quoting scriptures about health, renewal of strength, victory etc. Any relevant scripture I could remember and that google could pop up, I quoted. However, nothing seemed to be changing. As a matter of fact, the situation seemed to be getting worse; I only got weaker and clearly sicklier.
Deep down in my heart I had decided I am not giving up, God had told me that I walk in divine health and I was ready to fight to receive what God told me through His word.
I Peter 2:24 NKJV – who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness— by whose stripes you were healed
The Bible clearly tells me I was healed, not I will be, I was healed. Notice the tense in the scripture above. Healing already happened. So if I was healed and Jesus took all sickness, what business do I have being sick if I truly believe God and take Him at His word? There was no way I was going to allow the devil to touch my health, not today Satan I told myself. You see sickness is of the devil; it is NOT the will of God for us to be sick, that is why Jesus healed ALL the sick. If it is Gods will for us to be sick then why did Jesus heal all? Was Jesus going against the will of God? Was He rebelling? I think not. I shudder when I hear someone say, God gave me this sickness to humble me or teach me something, or when someone preaches that it is Gods will for you one to be sick.
Matthew 4:24(b)……………..he healed them all
That is Gods will; to heal all, remember Jesus did not come to do His will BUT the will of the father. So anyways, I went to sleep in a really bad state, despite all the confessing and believing, nothing really seemed to change as far as my condition was concerned. I had however decided not to give up, something inside me just pushed me to fight on. As I got into bed, I confessed that God was going to work on me that night, He would heal me as I sleep and I would wake up well. Going to hospital was not an option. I had this push to fight to get what is rightfully mine i.e health.
3 John 1:2 NASB – Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers
My testimony is of health and not sickness, going to hospital would be testifying and agreeing with sickness. Please do NOT get me wrong, I am not saying going to hospital is bad, I respect the hospitals and I thank God for the wisdom He has given the doctors to do what they do. There is a place for hospitals. I just personally decided, two years ago based on the Bible that I cannot get sick, as Christ is so am I in this world, I am the temple of God. If at all God lives in me, how then can sickness coexist with God? That is my attitude towards sickness and my faith and it is based on the word of God that is true. It has kept sickness away. I have radical faith and I make no apologies. If God said it, then I take it and run with it, period. For example man can relate his sickness to a virus and treat it in 3days or usually more, however I have not conformed to the patterns of this world. I am different, the bible says I am not of this world so I always look at everything from a spiritual heavenly perspective, to me sickness is a spirit and it is not from God. I cast it out and get me my healing immediately. Notice the sick were brought to Jesus and He cast demons out of them. Jesus thought differently, He did not live in a box, who am I to limit myself when the Bible says I am a citizen of heaven? Renew your mind.
Matthew 9:29 NASB – ………….It shall be done to you according to your faith.”
Anyways, like I mentioned I went to sleep in a very bad state, very uncomfortable and sweating heavily. As a result, I kept tossing and turning in bed. At every opportunity I got, I confessed that I am healed and I thanked God for His healing power. I believed I was healed and ignored my physical body, I saw myself healed.
Now here comes the experience part of the story, at some point during night I heard God say, very clearly, as if someone was literally speaking to me, I heard in an audible voice, ‘I have healed you’.
Immediately after the voice had spoken, I felt a heat, a burning sensation on my foot, at the bottom of my foot. The warm sensation covered both feet and I could feel it come up my body, moving through my body like some sort of scan. Just like that, the fever immediately went and joints were restored. Hallelujah!! Glory to the most high God. God is faithful. Always be expectant and positive no matter what.
I got back to sleep and woke up strong, no fever, no joint pains. Glory to God. The only thing that was not 100% was my head and throat, I had a terrible headache and a terribly swollen throat. I knew that for a fact I had been healed and I remembered the voice I heard the previous night so I was not going to settle for anything short of 100% healing. Jesus made the sick whole I too wanted my wholeness.
I remained in the place of worship and trust. After trying to take something light for breakfast and overcoming the temptation of taking a pain killer because of the pain I took a nap with worship music playing in the background. I was not in a position to sing so I figured that I might as well just play the music and let it do the singing on my behalf. It was a 1 hour nap. I woke up 1 hour later. Guess what? No headache no throat pain and absolutely no swelling or any kind of discomfort. I was whole, 100%. Glory to God. Hahaha. Who is like God? How excited I was
The verse below became real to me. I experientially understood it.
1 Timothy 6:12 NKJV – Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called ……………………..
Brother and sister, we have to FIGHT to get a hold of what eternal life has for us. You see when you got born again; you received this very same eternal life. The greek word for eternal life is ‘aionios zoe‘ which means the God kind of life, fullness of life, active and vigorous life, a blessed life without beginning or end i.e eternal. You received this when you got born again. Are you living it? If you feel you are not living as per Gods will, then refuse it, resist the devil and He will flee. God wants the best for you, you have to believe this in your hearts of hearts.
John 3:16 NASB – For God so loved the world, that He gave His [a]only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
You will not receive this eternal life when you die and go to heaven, no, you already have it now. You received it when you got born again. God tells us in 1 Timothy 6:12 to fight the good fight of faith so that we lay hold of eternal life. The devil does not want you to manifest your zoe life now, he wants you to live a defeated life, he wants you to settle for less and not walk in the fullness Christ availed for you through the cross. Please read 1st John 4:17 and believe that God wants His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.
John 10:10 NASB – The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and [a]have it abundantly.
I am sure I am not the only one who read the abundance bit. Refuse to settle for less, be it in health, joy, marriage, finances, business, ministry etc. FIGHT the good fight of faith. Choose to believe God, decide to take God at His word, do NOT be moved by what you feel or see, that is how you get to this level. You my brother and sister are called to live by FAITH and NOT by sight. Start practicing it now and see that in no time yours will be a triumphant life.
Whose report will you believe?
Glory to God. There is power in the name of Jesus. Believe it and speak it.

All that was last year.
Today let me end with this quote from Smith Wigglesworth
“crumbs.” Jesus was stirred as He saw the faith of this woman, and He told her, “For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.” Today there are many children of God refusing their blood-purchased portion of health in Christ and are throwing it away, while sinners are pressing through and picking it up from under the table, as it were, and are finding the cure not only for their bodies, but for their spirits and souls as well. The Syrophoenician woman went home and found that the devil had indeed gone out of her daughter. Today there is bread, there is life, there is health for every child of”
― Smith Wigglesworth, Ever Increasing Faith
I will share part two of this blog and share how the faith of a four year old (my daughter) challenged me and proved to work and doubt failed me. You will understand why I titled the message child like faith.
I love you and I remain
