The Curative Power Of God’s Word
My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto
my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes;
keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are
life unto those that find them, and health to all
their flesh (Proverbs 4:20-22).
The word translated “health” in our opening text
is the Hebrew word “marpe,” which means
medicine. So, that verse should actually read, “…For
they are life unto those that find them, and health
[medicine] to all their flesh.” The Word of God is
medicine; it has curative powers. If you’ll meditate on
the Word, it’ll destroy every, and any form of disease
and infirmity in your body. The Bible says, “He sent
his word, and healed them, and delivered them from
their destructions” (Psalm 107:20).
God’s Word is the solution to every challenge.
Its potency and efficacy are undeniable. The Word
has the ability to transform your life, energize you for
victory, and programme you for excellence. As you
meditate on the Word, a metamorphosis takes place
in your life. If you’re facing challenges in your health,
don’t despair. Get a hold of God’s Word and there’ll
be a change.
When you don’t study or feed on the Word as you
should, you starve your spirit, and that’s dangerous.
It’s like people who stay without eating physical food
for a long time; they become weak and eventually
susceptible to sickness and disease; their immunity
against germs and viruses rapidly dissipates. But if
you’re feeding well, chances are, you’re unlikely to
have the same problems.
The Word of God does much more for your spirit
than physical food. If you’ll stay in the Word, you’ll
always be healthy and sound. If you’d meditate on
the Word, it’ll cure that blood condition, get rid of the
HIV, heal your bones, heart, and skin, and produce life
in you! It’ll cure that wound that has defied treatment.
Speak the Word to that infirmity; talk to that cancer;
talk to your blood cells; command the diabetes to be
healed! Keep yourself in health with the Word.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for your Word is healing and health to
my body. Your Word is my daily meditation, and as I do, I fortify
my soul and body with spiritual food, and against the corrupting
influences of this world. I’m born of the incorruptible seed of the
Word, and I have overcome the world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
