APPROPRIATE COMFORT



READ: PSALM 18:16-21
Children of God face seemingly impossible situations from time to time. God may allow your strong enemies to surround you. They will think your end has come and begin to celebrate. But God will laugh at them because He has promised to deliver you and your children in time of trouble. He is never tired of delivering His children out of troubles according to Psalm 32:17-20.
For as many times as Satan attacks you, God will arise to show that He is your shield, buckler, refuge, fortress and high tower (Psalm 91). He does not allow those enemies to come to you so as to cause fear in you. Those enemies you are seeing around you now are not there to destroy you for God to demonstrate His might on your behalf. They will become the fat for His fire.
God speaks deliverance to the captives according to Isaiah 49:24-26. He will deliver you from spiritual satanic prison in Jesus name. To the sick, the Lord speaks healing. Medical practitioners may say your case is incurable: that is to the best of their knowledge and ability. Do not blame them. it is what they have they can give. If a child whose parents can hardly afford three square meals goes to ask them for a limousine, you know he is asking for the impossible.
But my God is unlimited. The limit of medical science and all other professions is the starting point of God’s ability. In Matthew 8:1-3, He clearly unveils His mind towards you. He says it is His will to heal you. As against the report of the doctors, God’s report says He is able and willing to heal you of any kind of sickness. He has fully paid for your healing at the cross. The receipt is His blood that was poured for you. The evidence of the payments is in His hands, feet, side, bruised body and thorn-pierced head. Go by the strength of His promise and claim what will give true comfort.
MEMORIZE: PSALM 18:19 –He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me because He delighted in me.
