Intercede Instead

Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

- James 5:14

It's amazing to see how people are quick to criticize, and pass judgment on others, when the Bible says, 'judge nothing before the time'.
For example: When you see something or someone in an abnormal state, the best thing to do is to intercede for them on their behalf. Because some of them may not even realize that they are under the oppression and influence of the devil.
The ones that realizes the manipulation of the devil, might quickly call for prayers, but the devil have a way of hiding himself from the troubles people go through.

Through intercession, the devil's antics will be revealed to the individual and for those around him/her to realize on-time that this is an affliction of the devil, and to react against it in a proper way.
Some illness people take medicine for are purely spiritual, there is no way medication can work for spiritual affliction, which is the situation in most cases.
The thing is, every believer is called into the ministry of intercession, it is not limited to certain individual or ministry office. You can get started today, the reward is immeasurable.
James 5:15 says,
"And the prayer of faith shall save the sick(afflicted), and the Lord shall raise him up(from his/her affliction); and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him."

Jesus is Lord!

Strong 2020

Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: - 1 Corinthians 15:36 No seed that is afraid of being planted, will ever think itself qualified to ever produce more fruits, it will die alone. Every seed that must reproduce, must of a necessity go through the process of plantation, if the future is in view. It is hard, yes. But that is the only way to duplicate oneself. John 12:24 says, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit." In this year 2020, if you seriously care, you need to die to self, and alive to God, in other to impact your world. Living a life of mediocre, will not benefit you, and certainly no one else around. Strong? Yes! Why not, if it will get your attention. So, no matter how you have ignored God's instructions until now, make a quality decision to realign, this new year, and start early. Happy New Year, once again...

EXIGENCY

You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. Amos 3:2. Ever wondered how come so and so did such and got away with it, but when you attempted it, you got cut and punished for it? There could be chances you are separated to God as a chosen vessel [not certainly, but likely]. "if yes" , as a result, you can't do what you like, only what is permitted. The society have drifted to the place where people don't talk about purpose anymore except their individualistic goals. Well, if you came from God, He already has a plan for you, it is suppose to be your primary assignment in life to discover it. Not to ignore it, in pursuit of your own self centered aspirations, it may not go down well. Some of the reasons you were probably rejected in certain areas in life is not because you aren't qualified, but because you're out of place. When God chose Abram, he didn't succeed in anything else even at 75yrs...

The Vine.

Jesus my Vine.
