God is a covenant keeping God. He never jokes with his covenants. You can initiate a covenant with God; God can deliberately initiate a covenant and enter into it with you. It is God that led us into these seven-fold covenants and I testify that he has been absolutely faithful. These covenant prayers are as old as this ministry.
Divine health is superior to healing. It means that you will not even fall sick at all. Divine healing means peradventure you fall sick, you are guaranteed of full recovery. I prefer divine health to divine healing. God has a special package for his children and he has put them in black and white in his word.
Five reasons why people may fall sick
1. Sin.
In the beginning, man was not created to be sick but when sin came, man fell, he couldn’t keep a simple instruction. One of the consequences of the fall of man is death. The Bible says, the soul that sinneth, it shall die. It was one of the direct curses that God pronounced in addition to other terrible things that came as a result of the fall of man; sickness is just one of them.
The fall of man came with very serious consequences. Curse was pronounced on the soil, directly on man, on the woman and on the snake. God hates sin because it is missing God’s standard. God has standards, he is not an anyhow God and that is why we should not worship him anyhow. Heaven is not an anyhow place for anyhow people. Heaven is very orderly, no sinner will get there.
Without holiness, no one can see God (Heb. 12:14). It is therefore our responsibility to clean up and measure up and receive grace to live right. Grace is not a license to live anyhow; those who live anyhow die anyhow. God’s place is designed for those who follow through, those who are led by the Holy Spirit.
Thank God that God made provision for man after man sinned. He could have completely eradicated the adamic stock and set us a new creation but he decided to send his Son to pay for the sin of man so that anyone who connects to his Son will not perish but have everlasting life. That is part and parcel of our salvation package and that is why the cross is the greatest display of the love of God. It is love exemplified and grace magnified.
