I am the LORD, who heals you
He said, "If you listen carefully to the voice
of the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to
his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the
diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you." (Exodus 15:26)
This
a promise with 4 conditions to be fulfilled for receiving 2 blessings
The
4 conditions were – (1) Carefully
listen to God’s voice
(2) Do what is right in His eyes
(3) Pay attention to His commands
(4) Keep all his decrees
The
2 blessings were – (1) God would
not bring on the Israelites any of the diseases
He
put on the Egyptians
(2) God would heal their (Israelites) sicknesses
It’s
sad that many modern Christians would prefer to suffer than meet God’s
conditions when they are afflicted by sicknesses. Often they are found to be
bound by man made doctrines and traditions that threaten to destroy their
relationship with Jesus the Savior. Some Christians wander away from God and
the power of evil then overshadows them and binds them with sicknesses for long
periods.
In
the above verse God clearly told the Israelites that He is a God who heals but
for that to be repeatedly evident in their lives they had to meet certain
conditions: Listen carefully, do what is right, pay attention and keep all
decrees.
God loves you
and desires you to be healthy and free from sickness. Remember this day and all
through this year that our God is Jehovah Rapha – the God who heals. Read the
Word of God and obey it. That will bring health and healing to your body, mind,
soul and spirit all through this year. God bless you.
