DIVINE HEALTH: YOUR HERITAGE IN CHRIST
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth (3 John 1:2).

Too often, people find themselves trapped in a cycle of illness and health issues. One week they’re in the hospital, and the next, they're at the pharmacy, seeking medications for one ailment or the other. This shouldn’t be your experience as a child of God. Don’t allow such in your life.

Refuse to allow Satan toy with your health. He's testing you. The moment Satan sees that you keep yielding to minor symptoms of sickness, he strikes with a heavier blow. But you have the power to put an end to this. Remember what Jesus said to Simon Peter: “...Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not...” (Luke 22:31-32).

Notice that the Lord didn’t say He prayed that Satan wouldn’t test Peter, but rather, that Peter’s faith wouldn’t fail. Your faith is the victory that overcomes the world. Today, you can settle any health issue once and for all by saying, “Enough is enough! I refuse to live a life of sickness and weakness. I lay hold of divine health because I have eternal life. I enjoy divine health because that’s the life I have in Christ.”

While as a result of ignorance you might have tolerated sickness in the past, it should no longer have a place in your life now that you know the truth. Some people mistakenly try to "sleep off" their ailments. But this is not the way. Don't ignore the pain or discomfort, hoping that only “some rest” will resolve it. No. Use your faith-filled words to kill it!

Remember, your faith is the victory that overcomes the world and its debilitating influences, including sicknesses, diseases, pains and everything of darkness. And you’re to always vocalize your faith. Use words; your tongue is your tool for control; use it to rebuke the ailment. Use it to cut out any infirmity, growth or anomaly from your body.

Speak health and life over yourself. Then, you can rest, assured that your words have established your victory. God has empowered you to control your circumstances with your declarations. Speak life, health, and victory always.

Prayer / Confession
Dear Father, I thank you for the gift of divine health, my inheritance in Christ Jesus. I’m healthy and strong, and I walk in the fullness of the divine life. Every fibre of my being is inundated with eternal life. Hallelujah!
