Divine Medicine

The word “health” in our opening scripture above is from the Hebrew word “marpe” which means medicine, healing or remedy. It connotes wholesomeness, soundness, or curative ability. In other words, God’s Word is therapeutic, curative and has regenerative ability—it’s medicine for your body! It brings healing and soundness. Now you can see why it’s important as a Christian to give yourself wholly to God’s Word, even as a teenager.

Give the Word your undivided attention; be a doer of the Word. That’s where the blessing is: in doing the Word! When you’re a doer of the Word, it means you’ve heeded the admonition of the Spirit in the opening scripture where He says, “My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart.” As you digest God’s Word into your spirit through meditation, it’ll destroy sickness and make you “uninfectable.” It’ll produce life and health in you.

I remember an inspiring testimony of a brother who was diagnosed with cancer. Rather than getting discouraged, he locked himself away for a month, listening to our messages over and over. When he went for his next appointment with the doctors, they couldn’t find a single trace of cancer! All the time he’d been listening to the Word, there was a curative process going on. The Word of God completely eradicated the cancer. Hallelujah!

Are you facing any challenges in your physical body today? Maybe it’s headaches, fatigue, or something more serious. The Word of God is the medicine you need! If you’d take in God’s Word as diligently as you’d follow the doctor’s prescription, not only would the Word destroy every single trace of sickness, it would also give you divine immunity against sickness, disease and infirmity. Stick to the Word, and you’ll come back with a testimony. Glory to God!
