Why We Fall Ill [Even After Being Born Again] (Part 1)

Happy Sunday everyone,

Our health is very important, even for those who claim to live in the spirit because once this body is damaged beyond repair, we are forced to return to God which is why we need to take good care of it. Sickness or ill health is not what one wants to have, and this is most times caused by the breakdown of the immune system when exposed to certain bacteria, disease, viruses, or lack of proper vitamins and minerals in the body.

Now, everything physical has its spiritual origin, therefore sicknesses and diseases have their origin as a result of the sin nature of the spirit which has affected the soul and the body manifests the sin nature in the physical realm which leads to death. But if you remember, I wrote that there are two worlds, the world of the first Adam, which is the world having the sin nature and the world of our Lord Jesus Christ, having the life of God. Every Man reflects where he or she comes from, either the life of the first Adam or the life of Jesus.

The life of Jesus is perfect and without sin therefore, since it is without sin, then it is with our sickness, disease, any infirmity. Now, the question one would ask is why do we fall sick even after being translated into the kingdom of Jesus? Yes, many of you would say, it is because the transformation is a gradual process. True, true, but in this case it more than that, and I’d explain why.

Ephesians 6:12 says, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Now, as we renew our minds to get physically manifest Christ, we are under attack from the evil one, and in many cases, the evil one—the devil attacks our health. This shouldn’t be new to you right, but let us understand that the devil cannot create, and Jesus took all the powers from him, so how does he get to touch us? The answer is simple, through our minds.

The devil is the Father of lies, Jesus said every word that comes out of the mouth of the devil is lies and deceit. In order words, every attack ganged up against us is a lie, wow! But if it is a lie, how does it still get to us?

I wrote on this before, that since the devil isn’t a creator, he uses deceit on those who have the powers to create—humans. Do you think any of those sicknesses you had were real, especially in this pandemic? None of them including the present pandemic were real at the beginning, but it later became real because we helped the devil, how?

The devil attacks our mind through deceit by placing signs and symptoms around to make it appear as sickness or disease as the case may be, still, it hasn’t gotten into us, but the moment we say, “I think I am down with a fever [for example], immediately, the fever becomes real, why? Death and life are in the power of the tongue (ref.: Proverbs 18:21), and this goes for every person in both worlds. This is how even when born of Jesus, you still fall ill.

So, how do we tackle this evil genius, because this is an attack from him? Before going into that there is also another reason he gets to us, which would be found in tomorrow’s blog post, so log on tomorrow, same time.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

 

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
