Christ Is the Will of God in Action

December 12
I [Jesus] can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.—
JOHN 5:30
Christ Is the Will of God in Action
Christ is the expression of God’s will. People sometimes say, “I don’t know what God’s will is.” Well, Jesus is the will of God. I like to say it this way: Christ is the will of God in action. If you want to see God at work, look at Jesus. If you want to hear God talk, listen to Jesus. There’s no better way of ascertaining theproper answer to, “Is it God’s will to heal me?” than by reading the Gospels. They record the teachings and works of Christ. You see, when Jesus healed the multitudes that thronged Him day after day, we see the Father revealing His will. We see God
at work. When Jesus laid hands on everyone and healed them, He was doing and revealing the will of God for our bodies. One time I was reading a report by some theologians of the Episcopal Church. They had appointed a commission to study the subject of divine healing and to report back to them. After three years of study and research in both the Bible and history, their report concluded, in effect, “The healing of the sick by Jesus was done as a revelation of God’s will for man. No longer should the Church pray for the sick with the faith-destroying qualification, ‘If it be Thy will.’” The message taught throughout the Gospels is one of complete healing for the spirit, soul, and body of men.
Confession:
To discover healing as the will of God for me, I look at Jesus in the Gospels. He revealed the Father’s will. He healed those who were sick. Therefore, I know that it is God’s will that I be healthy and whole.

STERLING LEADERSHIP

D.C.L.M. DAILY   MANNA WEDNESDAY 9TH MAY, 2018 STERLING LEADERSHIP TEXT: GENESIS 47:13-31 KEY VERSE: “And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we shall be Pharaoh’s servants” (GENESIS 47:25). “No one needs aspire to leadership in the work of God who is not willing to pay the price greater than his/her contemporaries and colleagues are willing to pay. The more effective the leader is, the higher the price to be paid”, said J Oswald. Joseph stands out as an enduring proof of what the grace of God can do for a perfect, upright and diligent child of God. The expected season of the lean kine finally came. Pharaoh was prepared only because of Joseph’s astuteness in the management of the trust conferred upon him. He started to alleviate the suffering of masses by exchanging corn for money, then corn for land. In an uncanny display of shrewdness, he ultimately transferred the national wealth and citizens to the crown and saved the

WELL OF LIFE

March 3 WELL OF LIFE The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life . . . . — PROVERBS 10:11 Immediately after the birth of our son and daughter, I took those little ones into my hands and said, “Lord, I thank You for this child. Because I know the Bible, I realize it is my responsibility to train up this child in the way it should go, and when it is old, it will not depart from it. “I realize Your Word says to bring our children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and I’m going to do that. I know that children are taught in two ways: By precept and by example. So I’m going to live right in front of this child. I will set the right example. Then, too, I know that you can have what you say, so I say over this child that it will grow up strong physically, without sickness and without disease; it will be alert mentally; and stalwart spiritually.” Our children grew up without sickness and disease. I never prayed a prayer that they would be saved. I never prayed a prayer that they

SUPPLYING OUR NEEDS

May 3 SUPPLYING OUR NEEDS But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. — PHILIPPIANS 4:19 It is God’s will that our needs be met. All of them! Philippians 4:19 includes all of your needs (all means all!), whether spiritual, physical, material, or financial. Believe that! Lest someone think that God is not concerned about our financial needs, this verse is set in a context which discusses material and financial affairs. Read it and you will see that the Philippians had taken up an offering of money and goods to send to other Christians. Paul was telling them, “Because you have given to others and have helped them, my God shall supply all your need.” So Paul was talking about material and financial matters. With what boldness, then, we can pray for finances to meet our obligations! Having all of our needs met is according to God’s will! Confession: When I pray concerning finances, I pray according to God’s Word — His will. Therefore, I am confid
