Introduction
Friends, the Lord is about to put in your hands the answer to every problem of sickness and disease. You will no longer need to spend money on your health.
Hear what God says in 3 John : 2:
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
God desires that you live a healthy life, so He has made adequate provision for you to be healthy.If you have been lost in sickness and disease, Jesus is ready right now to set you free. God is not only concerned about your soul, He is also concerned about your body.
This is why the Bible says in Isaiah 53:5 that: ...With his stripes we are healed. Your health is an important part of
God's redemptive plan for you. God wants you to be well. He wants to turn your sorrows into joy.
The same God who has kept me healthy for 27 years, is set to do the same for you.Abundance without health equals lack! Because whatever wealth you are able to amass is eventually eaten up by sickness! But in this book, I see the Lord granting you access into the realm of divine health!
Every born again child of God has a covenant of divine health with the Father. He couldn't have said, "..I am the Lord that healeth thee", if He had not made provisions for your health (Exodus 15:26).There's a place where you can stand in God and never get sick again! There's a realm you get to, where you can no longer be sick or oppressed.
It is a realm where the divine nature on your inside is so stirred up that you become immune to sickness and disease. Disease kills people! But believers are not meant to die, they only go to sleep. They can't just be killed anyhow! It is sickness that kills, God doesn't kill. It is time for you to be delivered from every threat of sickness and disease.What has been standing against your complete health will be dealt with this time, and you will have sound health to show for Christ's death.
All the drugs you've been storing up in your home, you won't need them anymore!Is it a sin to use drugs? No! But you have to be sick to use them, don't you? We are talking about the reality of a sickness-free life. Just as Egypt held God's people in bondage for over 400 years, there are people today who have been tied down by sickness for
many years. They have been serving hospitals! Worshipping the devil, by spending all their money on sickness! Many even go to the extent of borrowing to serve sickness! Your hour of liberty has come!
Maybe you have been to several hospitals and taken so many drugs, injections and all manner of treatment! Many men of God might have prayed for you! Yet it looks like Satan is saying, "From this one, you won't be free!" You may have tried your best, just like the children of Israel did and Pharaoh still refused to let them go. Remember, God came up with a mystery, which the devil has not been able to find a solution to till date, and God's people were set free! Get set for your own freedom now! Every bondage in your life will come to an end this time!
In this powerful book, I see God's power touch you and your total liberty established forever! This is your hour! It doesn't matter what your sickness is called, or for how long it has been there. Whether it has been called a killer disease or not, whatever name they have given it, the power of God will set you free! You're going to have an encounter with the Word of God in a way you never had before.
Hebrews 4:12 tells us:
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Yes! God's Word can travel into your bones. It is powerful enough to divide your joints and marrow asunder! God's Word can travel to right where that sickness is, and set you free! If the Word can get to the bones and marrow, how much more will it get to the kidneys, the liver, the bladder, the heart, the lungs, name it, and destroy whatever has held you in captivity! The hour has come for you to see the end of all discomfort!
I am glad to let you know that I am sent for the liberation of my generation. I am sent to stop mourning in the lives of men.I am sent to silence the devil, to stop him from tormenting men.I am anointed to destroy yokes, to deliver the captives, to open the eyes of the blind, to stop the devil from making men mad; to administer healing to every Family, to stop the tears of men! I didn't send myself. The One that sent me is with me, He backs up what He sent me to do.
Acts 10:38 says:
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing
all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him.
Someone was dying of asthma, and he went and touched my car, and the plague of asthma vanished! They put my garment on a boy that had never walked all his life, and lameness vanished! God sent me, and He delivered mysteries into my hand for the liberation of mankind from all oppressions of the devil. It is one of such mysteries that I want to share with you in this book. This book is
dedicated to plenty of health for you! You will celebrate divine health all the days of your life! You will just become like a living stone, since a stone can never be sick.
I want to introduce you to some truths that will usher you into continual health and vitality, strength and vigour! I want to introduce you to the Great Physician! And then, I will introduce you to the Great Physician's prescription the Healing Balm!
God has sent a Physician and presented to you a balm. But until you recognize Him and appreciate His balm, you will not live a healthy life. But when you recognize the Physician and embrace the balm that He offers, your health will be recovered. Friends, sickness, pain and suffering, are not the will of God for you. It's time to live a healthy life!
Chapter 1
Rescued!
As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.
Zechariah 9:11
We have a comprehensive redemption in Christ. When you are born again, you are not born to be pitied. Salvation is, being rescued from the pit! The covenant rescues us from the pit. We can be brought out of any pit of life by the blood of Jesus: the pit of sin, sickness, oppressions,
afflictions, etc. Friends, you are no longer to be pitied! People only pity men in a pit.
But as for you, Psalm 40:1-2 testifies:
I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an
horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
Jesus has taken you and me out of every pit. You are not permitted to remain there any longer. By the blood of Jesus, you have guaranteed peace with God in all areas of life peace in your body, your Family and your finances. You are now to be envied. Wherever you go, you should be the envy of men, with a continuous shout of hallelujah in your habitation, and a ceaseless song of victory in your mouth. This is God's plan, now made available to you.
From this point in time, every sickness must end in your life. When you give your life to Jesus Christ, you become a partaker of the blessings of Abraham. Jesus hung on a tree, so that these blessings could become ours, and replace the curses hanging over our heads before.
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one
that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might
receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Galatians 3:13-14
Once you're born again, you become a spiritual Israelite (Galatians 4:28). Consequently, whatever blessings that pertain to Israel become yours. Divine health is your heritage in God, and it is your birthright. Talking about Israel's 40 years journey in the wilderness, the Bible records that none among their tribes was feeble, their legs were not swollen, and their clothes did not wax old! (Deuteronomy 29:5). That's your heritage in God, as a spiritual Israelite.
He says, "I am the Lord that healeth thee." That's your heritage in God and your birthright in Christ. Who paid the price? Jesus did! The same day you were delivered from sin, your body was delivered from torture and torment. It's affirmed in Psalm 103:3: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases.
Your rescue is total! One woman came to Jesus on behalf of her daughter, desiring healing for her. Jesus said to her, "You don't give children's food to dogs. Let the children first be filled." (Mark 7:27, paraphrased) If you're a child of God, you are in God's priority list for complete health until you're healthy, no sinner in this world is permitted to walk the streets sickness free!
That woman answered back, "Yes Lord, but the dogs too can eat out of the crumbs that fall from the table". Everytime you see a sinner healed, it's a crumb from the table! You are the one that has a guarantee to be healed, because you are a child of the Kingdom. God is not only interested in the salvation of your soul, He is also the
Saviour of your body (3 John 2). So whatever is destroying your body, God is out to destroy it.
If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
1 Corinthians 3:17
Your life should be proclaiming the values of the death of the Lord Jesus Christ, that He didn't die in vain, that you're a proof that He truly died and rose again. From now on, you'll always have something to show! You shall live a hurt - free life! The hour of your victory has come!
Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. Matthew 27:50
The King of life descended into death! The Light that lights up every man, descended into darkness! And of course, you know that once light appears in darkness, darkness is overthrown.Jesus gave up the ghost, and behold, the veil of the temple was torn in twain. We now have everlasting access into the things God has ordained for us.When Jesus descended into the dungeon of death, there was catastrophe! Hell began to shake and hades was overthrown. The earth quaked, the rocks rent! And what was the outcome?
And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose. And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared
unto many. Matthew 27:52-53
The Light of heaven descended into the dungeon of darkness. Darkness was shattered! The captives were released! The graves were opened and all the saints came out! So you see, you have no business being in the grave any longer. I can hear the King saying to you, "Go ye therefore (into your liberty) ..."
Tell yourself, "I am going forth out of every grave, every imprisonment, every captivity." The One that said, "Go ye therefore ..." also said, "All power in heaven and in earth is given unto me." No one can challenge His orders. He said, "Go! Go from whatsoever is holding you down cancer, AIDS, leukaemia, kidney failure, hypertension, barrenness, infertility, etc. Go!"
No devil can stop you once you're set to go. Where was the devil when Jesus came out of the grave? Where was he when you gave your life to Christ, when the blood of Jesus brought you out of the pit? Know therefore that the devil that couldn't stop you from getting saved cannot stop you from getting healed, or from enjoying continuous divine health, as I have been enjoying for the past 27 years! Friends, you are complete in Christ!
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in
him, which is the head of all principality and power: In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh
by the circumcision of Christ:
And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having
forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us,
and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew
of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Colossians 2:8-11, 13-15
Listen to me, Satan has suffered an open defeat in the hands of Jesus, from which he will never recover! And for you, your mind is no longer in the grave, your body is no longer there. You have been raised together with Christ, who is the Head of all principality and power. Nothing can hold you down any longer. Jesus has raised you up. So stay up!
You are far above every sickness or disease that has a name. Before you are born again, you remain far below. But once you're saved, you're raised up together with Christ, and made to sit in heavenly places far above. You are far above cancer, depression and every other sickness. They are only for "inhabiters of the earth."
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the
devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Revelations 12:12
A far-above mentality must dawn on you. This is my secret of triumph; I know I am far above disease, death, failure, armed robbers, etc. Friends, the devil's hand in your life
and body has come to an end! You are now seated where sickness, disease and death cannot reach. From now on, you will begin to demonstrate the authority of your heavenly status, and the whole world will know that you're no longer in the pit that, you're risen with Christ!
And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having
forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us,
and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross. Colossians 2:13-14
Through His death, Jesus forgave you all your sins, and by His resurrection, He blotted out all the handwriting that was written against you by doctors, soothsayers and occultic forces. He took everything that was against you out of the way and nailed it to the cross. Such things can never rise again to torment you! Only Jesus rose, the cross didn't rise! Whatever has been against your health and wellbeing, it's time to see it nailed on the cross, and you will begin to see open triumph from now on!
If Jesus hung on the tree for you, no sickness or disease can hang on your body anymore. The blessings of Abraham have become yours. You're no longer under a curse (Galatians 3:13-14).Before sin was paid for, sickness was dealt with.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon
him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:5
Jesus was beaten and later hung on the cross, before He gave up the ghost. As this was going on, your healing was being paid for, and the curses on your life were being averted. Name any sickness that has ever harassed you, and now tell it to its face, "You can no longer hang around my body, because Somebody has already hung on the cross for me. I am now entitled to liberty, spirit, soul and body. Hypertension, you can no longer force yourself on me. As Christ hung on the cross, all the curses of my life hung along with Him. I am now a child of liberty. I have access to freedom."
Sickness has no legal hold over your life anymore. As long as you serve the Lord you are entitled to liberty. The devil cannot hold you captive any longer. You're free indeed! Rescued!
Chapter 2
You Don't Have To Be Sick!
And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away
from the midst of thee.There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will
fulfil. Exodus 23:25-26
I have been bouncing about like a stone since 1969. I'm just living, praise God! And the way I see God taking me on, at the age of 150 I won't have any problem with my health. When I see the sick, compassion grips me, because you don't have to be sick! Adequate provision has been made for you to be healthy and strong.
Lester Sumrall once testified, saying, "I am 83 years old, and I use no medicine of any kind; and I'm perfectly healthy." There was a man of God called Smith Wigglesworth. In his days he took communion daily. He went to be with the Lord at 87 years of age. No trace of sickness or disease was found in him at his death!
Jacob was 130 years old when he said, "I have heard that my son Joseph is still alive, I will go and see him" (Genesis 45:28). At 147 years, he gathered all his sons together (12 of them), and profoundly pronounced blessings on them, without any trace of mental deficiency. He said, "Reuben, my first born..." So at 147, he still could identify his first born from his last born. He said, "Thou art my first born, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of power..." (Genesis 49:3). He still had correct and accurate adjectives!
Now, the Bible says that the last enemy that will be destroyed is death. And we are in the last days saints! We are going to molest death! The Bible says that Jacob "gathered up his feet into the bed" by himself, not that anyone gathered them for him, this at age 147! The Bible started calling Jacob old at 120 years.
See also Abraham at 75 years, God still considered him a young man enough to have a son! The Bible says our young men shall see visions. At 99 years Abraham was still seeing visions! Friends, it's time to set yourself for a life that has scriptural meaning.
In Exodus 15:26, God said:
And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his
statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that
healeth thee.
That means that you're not permitted to see what the world is seeing, to suffer what they're suffering, or to be held down by what is holding them down.
I read a story from one of Kenneth Hagin's books, of a 93 year old grandmother, who was testifying that 40 years ago, a Pentecostal minister (she was methodist) came to town teaching on divine healing. Standing at 93, this grandmother said, "40 years ago, I lost the understanding of what sickness means." She was 53 years old then. From that time, she never required any pill to stay healthy. She said the minister made an altar call saying, "You have accepted Him as your Saviour, how many want to receive Him today as their Healer?" She stepped forward. And 40 years after, she was still telling the story! Jesus destroyed in her body, the yoke of pain, sickness and sorrow forever!
Friends, if Jesus cannot prove Himself in your life, you have not found Him! Kenneth Hagin, telling his own story also, said, "For the past 61 years, I don't know how headache feels." Tell me then, how can young folks of 20, 25, 40, 50, be swallowing pills night and day, injections here and there, as though their name is "Disease"?
He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
Psalm 105:37
Diseases are only meant to be found in the land of Egypt, not in Canaan. You are meant to be different from everybody else. Your youth must be renewed like the eagle's! (Psalm 103:1-5). Diseases and plagues of different nature are not meant to affect you, by reason of what God will satisfy your mouth with: "Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's". That's what Psalm 103:5 says.
Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? Isaiah 53:1
When you believe His report, the arm of the Lord is stretched out in your direction, the finger of God reaches out to touch you. There's a report that on the day Jesus died, He did not only pay the price for your sins, He also paid for your sickness.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon
him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:5
This is the report at Calvary. As they were beating Him, the price for your divine health was being paid. So, you can't be enslaved again by sickness. It is possible to live your life absolutely free of disease and sickness. At the age of 100, you can still be looking like you're 40 years old. By covenant you're not supposed to have anything to do with sickness and disease.
The hour has come for God to separate you from sickness forever! You're not permitted to go through what people in the world are going through.
That is God's promise in Exodus 15:26:...
If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I
will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth
thee.
From now on, nothing that kills people will be able to survive on your inside!
In the great message of Stephen in Acts 7, he referred to the Israelites in the wilderness as "the church in the wilderness". So whatever way God was dealing with them then, is the same way He's dealing with us now, because He said, "I am the Lord, I change not" (Malachi 3:6). The Church in the wilderness departed from Egypt, and Egypt
departed from them! Throughout their 40 years journey through the wilderness, none among their tribes was feeble. Their clothes didn't wear out. Their legs never got swollen!
And the Bible says, if the ministration of death was glorious, how much more will the ministration of the Spirit be (2 Corinthians 3:9)! In 1969, I was delivered from tuberculosis, and I've stayed healthy ever since. I can't imagine any hospital bed that can contain me now. No! I've been rolling about like a stone all these years. I don't know the meaning of sickness.
Granted that I had at one time or the other been exhausted due to some heavy weight assignments, but I can't see me ever being referred to as sick, as long as I live.You see, I have programmed my life for 18 hours minimum of labour per day. It's the only way I enjoy life, and I have remained perfectly healthy! I don't have any pressure on my life! You too will have something to show from now.
1 Corinthians 6:20 says: For ye are bought with a price... Yes! Jesus fully paid the price for you to be healthy. He fully paid the price for you to be sound. He fully paid the price for you to be strong. That day, 2,000 years ago, when they were beating Him and blood was oozing from His flesh, was the same day the price was FULLY PAID, for a healthy and strong life for you.
Friends, the price has been paid! You don't pay for an item twice. No! The price for your liberty is fully paid, the devil cannot reclaim it. Your body is now to glorify God, not the devil.
For ye are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
1 Corinthians 6:20
So, whatever is not glorifying God in your body is making a mockery of the price paid. One of the blessings that must come our way as a result of service is divine health. By the grace of God, our church has been able to prove that dedication is profitable. Therefore, whatever looks sick around you, the hour has come for it to go forever! Blessings always follow service, as we have seen in Exodus 23:25-26.
And further down God promised:
I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine
enemies turn their backs unto thee. Exodus 23:27
From this time forward, the son of wickedness shall not exact upon you. You shall see the back of your enemies! Because it is God's will to take away sickness from you, sickness will no longer survive in your body. You will not suffer miscarriage in your body, career or business. You shall not be barren!
Jesus said in John 15:2:
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it
may bring forth more fruit.
No parasite will survive in your body from now on! No arrow of the enemy will have any impact on your life anymore. The hour has come for you to see the end of all discomfort! Whatever sickness is hiding in your body, the power of God shall trace it out today. Be it in your blood, marrow, kidney, intestines, any part of your body where strangers are, the power of God will flush them out right now!
Your body must not be a hiding place for strangers. Only the Holy Ghost is permitted to dwell in your body, that's what 1 Corinthians 6:19 tells us. There is nothing holy about sickness. Therefore God is chasing every stranger out of your body right now, in Jesus name.When the apostles were here on earth, not one of them was ever reported sick.
Look At Jesus...
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these
last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the
express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high."
Hebrews 1:1-3
If you want to know the will of God, look at Jesus, whom Colossians 1:15 also refers to as "The image of the invisible God." Jesus was never ill. Even though He was a "workaholic", He was never reported ill. He was as sound
as stone! He said: "Look at Me and see if you can point to any sickness. The prince of this world came to Me and has nothing of his in Me" (John 14:30 paraphrased).
Jesus demonstrated to us what divine nature was all about. He never took ill once. He never suffered from any ailment. Divine nature was always flowing in His veins. Sickness gained no access to the disciples while Jesus was with them. None of them was ever reported sick. Now, the One that was with them, is the same One in you, where did you get that sickness from? He was only around, with them, now He lives inside you! I want you to get very angry, because you don't get at liberty without a reaction.
The Bible says:
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take
it by force. Matthew 11:12
Until you become angry with sickness, you don't walk in divine health. If Jesus is inside your body, how can sickness survive there at the same time? It's illegal! Light and darkness cannot co-exist. Concerning Jesus, 1 John 1:5 says: ...In him is no darkness at all.
How then can He be on your inside, and sickness keeps tormenting your life? Even if you don't understand scriptures, when you see Jesus, you understand the will of God. He is the pattern Son. Whatever you can't see in Him is not the will of God for you, "because as he is, so are we
in this world." (1 John 4:17).God does not love you more than He loved Jesus, so if sickness is a proof of His love, then He should have given Jesus plenty of it!
Sickness Is Not From God
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
Acts 10:38
Behind every sickness is Satan. It's never God! No!
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no
variableness, neither shadow of turning.
James 1:17
And Job 34:10 boldly declares: ...Far be it from God, that he should do wickedness... And verse 12 adds: Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
Satan's name is called "the wicked". (1 John 5:18). Friends, as long as you mistake that sickness, that disease, that affliction, to be from God, you remain in bondage! That was what prolonged Job's sufferings. He kept thinking that it was from God. In fact, at a time he said, "God, even if you kill me, I will yet serve you." It was all nothing but a lot of zeal without knowledge. We were even told in Job 2:7: So went Satan...and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown. Can you see that? All the
calamities Job suffered were brought about by Satan, not God, as Job kept on thinking.
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they
might have it more abundantly.
John 10:10
Jesus doesn't take anything from you, rather, He came to give you in excess everything you will ever need in life! From that scripture in Acts 10:38, we see that everyone Jesus healed were before their healing oppressed of the devil the blind, the lame, the deaf, the insane. They were all oppressed of the devil. Every sickness is an oppression of the devil, not a lesson from God. If your child misbehaves, do you organize sickness for him so he can understand how to behave well? So why must you think God is seated in heaven planning sickness for you so you can learn?
Somebody does not understand arithmetic when he was sound, is when he has a headache, the best time to make him understand it? Sickness is not the way to learn. When your child is sick, do you send him to school? There is no lesson to learn in sickness. Sickness is a time of mourning.
Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry: But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
Proverbs 6:30-31
The devil has stolen the health of many people, and they have mistaken it for God teaching them a lesson, or
punishing them for something they had done. As long as the thief is unfound, the affliction continues. Let me say this again, no matter what name that sickness is called by the doctor, the Bible says it's an oppression of the devil. Let God be true and all men be liars! Until you recognise the devil as the one behind that affliction, it will continue. But when he is found, he shall be made to pay sevenfold.
Your health shall be restored sevenfold! God wants your liberty. The one that placed sickness on you is called the wicked. He has power in this world, but the One who has come to set you free is the righteous God, Who has power both in heaven and on earth. His power is far greater than that of the enemy, and the hour has come for Him to make you whole.
And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly...
Romans 16:20
So, Satan is under your feet. And because he's the author of sickness and disease, sickness and disease are under your feet also. So you can walk over them, you can thread upon them (Luke 10:19).
Stop Nursing Sickness!
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, where unto thou art also called...
1 Timothy 6:12
And James 4:7 says,...Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Stop nursing sickness! Fight it! Give no place to the
devil! Satan is not a gentleman! He does not go without resistance. Fight! Nobody wins without fighting.You must stop nursing sickness! You don't have anything doing together. Anything you welcome settles down. Anything you reject quickly packs its load and goes.
For instance, if a visitor comes to your house and you embrace him warmly, he can stay for one month. But if a visitor comes and you say, "Yes, can I help you?" (with a frown on your face), he will leave immediately or at most the following day. That is the same way you must react to sickness. Until you stop nursing sickness, you don't walk in divine health. Until you stop nursing, announcing and celebrating sickness, you don't enjoy divine health.
You Are Stronger!
Now that you know who is behind your affliction, what do you do?
When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour
wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
Luke 11:21-22
This is talking about casting out devils. The first thing you do after you've located the thief, the tormentor, is to recognise that you are stronger. You must recognise your superiority over the opposition. This is the cheapest way to disarm your enemy. So many Christians have kept themselves on the beggarly side.
1 John 4:4 tells us:
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the
world.
You see, it is not the opposition, it is your level of insight that has kept you in captivity.
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 8:32
Your lack of insight is the reason for your slavery. Except you see yourself as stronger and superior to the devil, you will remain in captivity. Friends, I'm glad to let you know, that you're stronger than the worst devil in the world. So sickness can't toy with your destiny. Diseases can't destroy your destiny. Cancer can't say, "No" to your command. It's time for you to react therefore.
Now, see what Ephesians 1:19-23 says:
And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the
heavenly places,Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church. Which is his body, the
fulness of him that filleth all in all.
If you're in Christ, you are over all things. You need such superiority complex to put sickness where it belongs. For long, I've been shouting, "I cannot be sick!" Why? Because I'm already raised up, far above sickness, when Jesus came out of the grave. And I know He never went back there, and that all the saints that believe in Him came out of the grave with Him. I believe in Him, so I'm out of the grave, and I can't go back there! No, never!
You need that kind of superiority complex. No sickness has enough power to make you sick! No sickness has enough power to tie you down in bed. You should not be tortured in your mind by the enemy. Wake up to the consciousness of your superiority over him!
I know I cannot fail, that's why I'm not failing. I know I cannot be killed in an accident, that's why I'm still alive. I know no armed robber from hell has the power over my destiny, that's why I'm still walking about freely and alive. I know it!
Friends, it's your turn to make your choice!
Chapter 3
Sickness Is A Spirit
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.And, behold, there was a woman which had a
spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together,
and could in no wise lift up herself.
Luke 13:10-11
From the original Greek text, Astheneia is the name from where the word "infirmity" came. The word Astheneia is the common Greek word for sickness. For eighteen years that spirit of sickness was oppressing the woman! So, sickness is a spirit.This means that there is a spirit of deformity, a spirit of fever, a spirit of cancer, a spirit of migraine, a spirit of kidney failure, a spirit of fibroid, a spirit of blood disease, a spirit of lameness, etc. Infirmity means sickness.
So when they say someone has a spirit of infirmity, it means he has a spirit of sickness. We see also in Mark 9:25: When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
When God made you, you were perfect. You were very good. Then Satan came and sowed his evil seed, and the good creation of God became evil. Until Jesus came, and then the tables turned!
Satan Lost His Throne!
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
1 John 3:8
Every sickness is a work of the devil. Every deformity is a work of the devil. Every blindness is a work of the devil. Every lameness, every disease, is a work of the devil. But praise God, Jesus came, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
Listen to this:
And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to
destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and
come out of him.And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
Mark 1:23-26
It is an unclean spirit that makes a man feel good when he is dirty; that makes a man misbehave in public. That is the spirit of madness! A foul spirit that makes a man behave foul!
Look at this for instance:
And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been
plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. And always, night and
day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and
cutting himself with stones.
Mark 5:2-5
But then, he came in contact with the One that has the power to destroy every spirit of sickness.
For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
Mark 5:8
And the man was set free. By the time the people who used to know him as a mad man saw him again, he was "sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind ..." (Mark 5:15). Friends, in our generation, every spirit of sickness shall be destroyed! God's creation shall be redeemed from corruption, by the power of God. We are going to push the devil out of business!
In 1983, one of my cousins was struck with the spirit of madness. When I arrived home to see him, as I entered the room, he stood up and prostrated to greet me (in his madness)! Before then he had not been able to recognise nor speak to anyone, not even his mother. But he welcomed me! They asked him if he knew who I was and he said, "That's my brother." All I did was enter the room! I hadn't even prayed or laid hands on him. You know why? A General doesn't need to be in uniform before you know he's a General. Whether in his sportswear or his pyjamas, a General is still a General.
Friends, all you need to floor the devil, is a consciousness that you are greater, that you are stronger. A superiority
complex, that puts him where he belongs. You need a knowledge of your redemptive position in Christ, that will give you your place. Now, by the time I was leaving, I told them to put the young man in my car, and let me see the devil that will dare follow him into my car! Friends, that was the end of the madness! The young man has now graduated from the university, born again, and full of the Holy Spirit, serving God with excitement! The unclean spirit left him fast, at the instance of my appearance and my command.
Listen to me, by virtue of your redemption in Christ, Satan has no final say in your life any more. The choice is yours. Jesus came to destroy all the works of the devil! All his works!
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
John 19:30
After taking that bitter drink, He said, "It is finished"- finished with anything that is making life bitter for you, finished with sorrows, with pains and He bowed His head and gave up the ghost.
That may sound like defeat, but in Hebrews 2:14-15, the Bible says:
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of
death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
When Jesus gave up the ghost, death was overthrown! The one who had the power of death (Satan) was destroyed, and man's liberty from every of his oppressions was sealed. Friends, when Jesus gave up the ghost, Satan lost his throne! When Jesus descended into hell, Satan's throne was destroyed and man's liberty was established!
"It is finished"! No force in hell can change that! The dominion of Satan over your life and destiny came to an end! The dominion of the wicked over your body came to an end! Know this then, Satan is too weak to make you sick! Power was taken from him when Jesus went down to the grave, and the scriptures cannot be broken. If Jesus hadn't destroyed Satan, He couldn't have been Lord over your life. Satan lost his throne! Oh, yes he did!
Matthew 15:13 says:
But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
That sickness in your body is a planting of the devil. But everything he has ever placed in your body, Jesus has come to root it out. That's the reason He came. So, the only sickness that won't leave you alone, must be one that is stronger than God. And of course, there's no such sickness! If God says "Yes!", the enemy cannot say, "No!" God has already said "Yes!" concerning your healing.
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth
in you. Romans 8:11
There's something in you that guarantees health. It is the Spirit of Him that raised Jesus up from the dead, the same Person we call the Holy Spirit. He has a mission to supply the virtue for divine health to your body. So your body is quickened by Him. He is the same Spirit in the Healing Balm. Get set for an encounter with Him, that will end all your aches and pains forever!
Chapter 4
The Great Physician
And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down
with him and his disciples. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with
publicans and sinners? But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but
they that are sick. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to
call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Matthew 9:10-13
The secrets of men are in their stories. Jesus was simply introducing Himself here: "I am the Great Physician, I have
come to save the lost". If you have been lost in sickness, the Great Physician has come to heal you.
He is the Great Physician which Jeremiah prophesied about in Jeremiah 8:22 saying:
Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then, is not the health of the daughter of my people
recovered?
Jesus is the fulfillment of prophecy. Physicians don't go to healthy people, they go to sick ones. So if you're sick in your body, this is your hour of liberty. The Great Physician is here for you.
Matthew 8:17 says concerning Him: Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
Many have accepted Jesus as Saviour, but very few have accepted Him as their healer. He is not only the Saviour of your soul, but also the Saviour of your body.
Your health is an important part of God's redemptive plan for you, that's why it's included in the package, as we see in Psalm 103:1-3:
Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:Who forgiveth all thine iniquities: who healeth
all thy diseases;
Jesus already took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses. Not that He's coming to take, No! "He Himself TOOK..."
And so 1 Peter 2:24 says: "By whose stripes YE WERE HEALED". So it's a matter of past tense, something that has been concluded. Friends, any area where the devil seems to be mocking you, I want you to understand that Jesus has come to restore your dignity.
Jesus is the Great Physician. Until you accept Him as your healer, you don't enjoy divine health. You can't miss your health if you take His prescription. You can't suffer bodily afflictions if you recognize Him as the Physician. Jesus never referred any case. He was never stranded handling any situation. He was absolutely and perfectly in charge when it came to getting the health of people restored. He is the ultimate, there is no where else to go after Him.
For: All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness: and
the darkness comprehended it not. John 1:3-5
I want to introduce you to this Great Physician.
The Great Physician In Figures
In the Old Testament, we see Jesus accomplish His healing ministry in various forms.
The Manna
He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
Psalm 105:37
All through the 40 years that the children of Israel spent in the wilderness, they were never reported sick! "...Not one feeble person among their tribes", the Bible records! What was it?
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things, so that thy youth is renewed like the eagles.
Psalm 103:5
So, the secret was in the nature of food that God gave them to eat in the wilderness! Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold,
I will rain bread from heaven for you...
Exodus 16:4
And (he) rained down manna upon them to eat ...Man did eat angels' food: he sent them (food) to the full. So they did eat, and were well filled... Psalm 78:24-25,29
...And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat.
Exodus 16:15
The Living Bread
Now, talking in John 6:32-33, Jesus makes us to understand what that manna from heaven was:
...Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he which
cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. John 6:32-33
And in John 6:48-51, He unveiled the mystery behind the manna:
I am that bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which cometh
down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of
the world.
So there is a major secret behind the flesh of Jesus, the Living Bread. It is the impartation of divine health. It is the impartation of His nature, which is immune to sickness and disease. They ate only "the bread" in the wilderness, and none among their tribe was feeble. Now we have in the New Covenant the "Living Bread", plus the "Living Blood" (John 6:54), how much more then should we enjoy perfect divine health! No man-made drug can compare with His combination! While Jesus was still with His disciples, they remained perfectly healthy, none of them was ever reported sick. Now, imagine Jesus alive in you!
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take,
eat; this is my body.
Matthew 26:26
The flesh of Jesus, the Living Bread, and His blood, adds up to the greatest drug man has ever known. No syrup, no capsule, no injection can be compared to it in anyway.
And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat
with gladness and singleness of heart, Acts 2:46
The mystery behind the kind of health which the New Testament Church enjoyed could be attributed to the fact that they took communion daily. They never had any form of healing services in their churches. The Living Bread was enough for them.
For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. John 6:55
Nothing is superior to it! It is the best thing that will ever enter the mouth of any mortal man. It is very nutritious, the greatest medicine ever! It is capable of curing any form of disease.
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father. So he that eateth me, even he shall live
by me. John 6:56-57
Jesus becomes the force behind the life that operates in the one that lives by Him. He is the engine that will now work in such a person to make him productive and resourceful.
This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of
this bread shall live for ever.
John 6:58
This kind of bread guarantees life to every eater. It will arrest whatsoever thing is plaguing your mortal body, it is very poisonous to any sickness! No disease nor ailment can escape it! Friends, God has not changed. The manna the children of Israel took in the wilderness was responsible for the health they enjoyed.
Jesus is saying to us today, that what they took cannot be compared to the real manna, Himself! Jesus is the real bread. That is why He kept on saying, "This is my flesh, this is my blood ..." The principal purpose of the communion is to inject divine health into us. They ate manna in the wilderness and for forty years they remained alive, active, well and healthy! Now we have the true bread from heaven Jesus, the Great Physician! Everyone that comes to Jesus has eternal access to whatsoever this bread has to offer.
This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
John 6:50
There is something in this bread that is able to destroy whatsoever is out to kill you. Whenever you eat the flesh of Jesus and drink His blood, you compel the flow of life, and destroy every form of disease and sickness in your body.
The Brazen Serpent
In Numbers 21, we see another major secret of divine health. The children of Israel once again murmured and complained, speaking against God and Moses. God got so angry with them that He put fiery serpents among them, that bit them until many of them began to die. Then they cried out to Moses ,to pray unto the Lord to take away the fiery serpents from them.
In response to Moses' prayer for the people, God instructed Moses thus:
...Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. And Moses made a serpent of
brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of
brass, he lived.
In John chapter 3, we come to see that the brazen serpent was Jesus (the Great Physician) in a figure!
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but
have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through
him might be saved.
John 3:14-17
Jesus was that brazen serpent! His presence in their midst, was enough to neutralize the snake's poison!
The Great Physician In Person
The Great Physician finally appeared in person! In John 10:10, He declared:
...I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
If He manifested so evidently in figures in the Old Testament, how much more should we expect Him to manifest in person now. For three and a half years, Jesus demonstrated the reality of His ministry as the Great Physician.
Acts 10:38 sums it up this way:
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
Let's look at some records of His healing ministry in person.
And He Healed Them All...!
And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of
people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of diseases; And they that were vexed with unclean
spirits: and they were healed.And the whole multitude
sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.
Luke 6:17-19
When the sick came to Jesus, He healed them all! He's the same yesterday, today and forever. He has not changed, He will not change. If He healed them all yesterday, He will heal them all today, He will still heal them all tomorrow.
When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with
his word, and healed all that were sick:
Matthew 8:16
Are you among the all? Today is your day!
As Many As Touched Him...
And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as
many as touched were made perfectly whole.
Matthew 14:34-36
What was responsible for this? There is virtue flowing from the anointed of God
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
Acts 10:38
That unction flowed to the clothes He wore, and as many as touched Him received their healing. There was a woman, who first tapped into this mystery of impartation of virtue:
And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem
of his garment: For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. But Jesus turned him
about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman
was made whole from that hour.
Matthew 9:20-22
"She said in her heart ..." What are you saying in your heart? Her heart was open! She was set for her healing. She was ready! Whatever you're saying in your heart right now, you will see today, in Jesus name!
The Power Of The Lord Was Present...
And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to
heal them. Luke 5:17
God's Word carries the Spirit of God, and the Spirit of God is the power of God. Through the Word He was speaking, the power of God was being communicated, God's power was being released, and it was taking care of the people's sicknesses and diseases.
Psalm 107:20 had told us that:
He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
The Spirit in that Word quickens their bodies for healing and quickens them for all manner of deliverances. When you receive the Word, the quickening Spirit of God enters you, and whatever is dying in your body is quickened back to life. Many people mistake the contents of the Bible for stories. They are not stories, they are Spirit. That's what Jesus said in John 6:63:
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they
are life.
He said in Proverbs 4:20-22:
My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that
find them, and health to all their flesh.
God's Word is health to all your flesh. That explains why the people were healed by just hearing the Words spoken by Jesus, Who is the Word Himself (John 1:1).
Luke 5:15 says:
But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be
healed by him of their infirmities.
Jesus never sympathized with any man, He healed them. Even as you're reading this, I see His power enter your body, and I see Him setting you free! Every bondage in your life is coming to an end now!
The Deaf Hear! The Dumb Speak!
And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him. And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. And straightway
his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain. And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it; And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
Mark 7:32-37
The four gospels are full of various accounts of the ministry of Jesus as the Great Physician, fulfilling His claim that He came: ...that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10
You will not suffer anymore!
Chapter 5
The Healing Balm
Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the Lord in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me
to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities? The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me. Is there no balm in Gilead? is there no hysician there? why
then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
Jeremiah 8:19-22
There is a balm in Gilead, but it is not recognized. There's a Physician there, but He's not acknowledged.From the scriptures above, you can see that with the Physician and the balm, your health must be recovered. Just to know the Physician, and recognize the balm is enough for your health to be recovered. Whatever is lost in your health shall be recovered!
The Great Physician's Prescription
Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? Jeremiah 8:22
There is a balm in Gilead, and the Great Physician is Jesus. He has made a prescription. Now we have found it! We know the balm, as prescribed by the Physician Himself. We are thus free from sickness and disease. He has pointed out the balm to us, we are now walking under the influence of it. Now we live like Him, immune to sickness and disease, walking in perfect health. Eternal health! It is the cheapest
drug! Yet there's no capsule, no drug, no injection that compares with it in terms of potency. It goes into the bones and marrows! It is quick! It is powerful!
Now, let's take a look at the balm.
The Anointiong Oil
And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them POWER over unclean
spirits. Mark 6:7
Friends, I present to you the Great Physician's prescription the Anointing Oil! From the scripture reference above, it is evident that Jesus placed something in the hands of His disciples, with which they were to: Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils... Matthew 10:8
Mark 6:13 reports: And they cast out many devils, and ANOINTED WITH OIL many that were sick, and healed them.
Now, who sent them forth? Who gave them the oil? What was the oil for? Friends, the Great Physician sent forth His disciples, and He equipped them with the prescription for any kind of sickness, all manner of sickness whatsoever. That prescription was the anointing oil. Having proved the efficacy of this prescription, the apostles maintained the use of it all through their ministry.
That was why James boldly recommended it to the Church in James 5:14:
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.
Listen to me, this is the all-purpose drug. It is syrup, capsule and injection all put together! Throughout the scriptures, there is no other prescription for healing outside the oil the New Testament covenant balm! It will heal any sickness and destroy any disease. Jesus said to them in Matthew 10:8: ...Raise the dead...Yes, the anointing oil will raise the dead!
We have countless testimonies of many dead raised by the anointing oil (See last chapter). No doctor has the drug to raise the dead. They only have that which they can use to cure the living. Jesus also said to the disciples:...Cast out devils...
Friends, hospitals can't cast out devils! Microscopes can't detect them. But the Great Physician's prescription, the balm, the anointing oil, can!The anointing oil is the healing balm.
In Mark 6:7, we are told:
And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean
spirits;
You know "the twelve" were made up of all kinds of people, including Thomas, who insisted on seeing Jesus' pierced hands before believing that it was He indeed that is risen from the dead (John 20:25-29). So if Jesus had simply
said, "Behold I give unto you power ..." Thomas would have asked, "Where is the power?" But Jesus indeed gave them power when He handed over to them the bottles of the anointing oil. He said to them, "Behold, power!" He gave them the oil as power over unclean spirits, and to heal all manner of sicknesses and all manner of diseases paralysis, barrenness, heart - failure, blood disease, cancer, blindness. All manner!
I would like you to recognize that no one knows about life more than the One that made it. No one knows about a product more than the manufacturer. The One who made you knows about you more than anybody else. Therefore, no doctor should be allowed to confuse you with fake reports. The Great Physician says, "I have the prescription against all unclean spirits. I have a mystery that can handle all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. "Let God be true, and let every man, every doctor's report, every lab result, be a liar!
This day marks the end of every curse of the law in your life! The Great Physician's prescription is more than enough for you. There is no burden placed on your life, no yoke placed on your neck by the enemy, that can survive the operation of faith in the anointing oil.
God Placed It In My Hand
And the Lord said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.
Exodus 4:2
Every time God calls a man, He places an instrument in his hand. He called Moses, and put a rod in his hand, charging him to use it. "That is the instrument of deliverance placed in your hands. Go and use it" (Exodus 4:3).
Friends, God placed the anointing oil in my hand. It's a first class mystery, handed down to us from heaven.We are not trying to do something that somebody else is doing. No! We have been given an instrument to work with. More than 80% of the testimonies in our ministry to date, are traceable to the anointing oil - healings of AIDS, diabetes, cancer, diseases and sicknesses of all kinds!
Also healing of businesses, homes, etc.Children have been delivered from all forms of oppression of the devil. Many yet have broken through into the realm of excellence. Many have encountered unspeakable favours. All by the operations of the anointing oil, proving that, indeed, this is God's instrument, delivered to this ministry, for the rescue of men!
Is there no balm in Gilead? That balm is the anointing oil. It is the New Testament balm. Jesus said it will handle all manner of sickness and all manner of disease, everything that is against you. It will destroy them all! It will work to produce your comfort in all areas of life.
Life has become easy for you from now on, in the name of Jesus.
God Initiated It
When God was going to make His presence known among His people (Israel), He instructed Moses to build an ark. He told him the exact kind of wood to use. Moses did as he was instructed and he got carpenters to build the ark to the exact specifications and with the exact materials recommended. And God mysteriously began to inhabit the ark! Every time they moved the ark to the war front and shouted aloud, the God in the ark would step out, and the enemies of Israel would be crushed!
Once, the ark was abandoned in the house of a man called Obed-edom, and in the three months that it was kept there, the God in the ark blessed the house of Obed-edom! (2 Samuel 6:11). It was the carpenter's product, but it became the habitation of Jehovah God! I'm talking about the ark of the covenant.
The same way, in Exodus 30:23-25, God instructed Moses:
Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels, And of cassia five hundred
shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin: And thou shall make it an oil of hly ointment, an
ointment compound after the art of the apothe- cary: it shall be an holy anointing oil
And in verse 31, God added: And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.
So it doesn't matter what it is to your pastor, it doesn't matter what it is to your church, but unto God, it shall be an holy anointing oil a mystery in the hands of the children of Israel, including us, the spiritual Israel. And God said it is to be "throughout your generations", that is, it will never end till this world is over. It's mystery will not stop until this world is over. It is a forever mystery.
By the grace of God, the Lord has delivered this mystery into my hand. The Holy Ghost helped me to appreciate it, and multitudes have been blessed by it all over the world today. We have seen and heard God wrought terrific and amazing miracles, signs and wonders in every place where this mystery balm has been used!
Many think it's a church ritual, and yet many think it's a church doctrine. But I'm going to show you what that bottle carries. And as you begin to catch the understanding of it, every reproach of disease in your life will be consumed. Every curse of affliction in your body, in your Family, in your career or business, will be consumed, in Jesus name. God says the oil, in your hand, should be a holy anointing oil unto all. So, it is time to find out what it contains.
The Spirit In The Oil
Inside the oil resides the personality of the Holy Ghost, the third Person of the Godhead. Just like the ark of old, built by carpenters, and made of Shittim wood, so God in His infinite wisdom "built" an ark of liquid, inside which mysteriously resides the Spirit of the Lord God Himself the Holy Spirit. Holy Ghost and Fire is His middle name
(Matthew 3:11), The Comforter is His surname (John 14:26).
He is the One that equips the Church. He is our banner of victory, He is the master key to all exploits in the Kingdom. Not even the Messiah could go forth without Him! The Holy Ghost has the command of the hour! He is the One in charge now.
In Genesis chapter 1, we read that the Father created the world and went back to heaven. The world later got messed up! Then the Son came to repair it. Having done that, the Holy Ghost took over, saying, "I will take it through." So, He came to manage the world. He is the Manager of God's creation today.
In 1 Samuel 16:13, the Bible tells us:
Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went
to Ramah.
David was anointed with oil, and the One inside the oil stepped out of the oil and sat upon him! So David became unmolestable and indestructible. He became the noblest man in Israel. He was anointed with oil, and the One living in the oil, the Spirit of the Lord, came out of the oil and rested on Him. Today, He will come out for you too!
Remember when they were to take the ark of God on a new cart, to the city of David? The asses stumbled, and Uzzah
put forth his hand to steady the ark and the mysterious One inside the ark struck him dead! (2 Samuel 6:6-7).
Friends, there's Somebody in the oil, the present day "liquid ark". His name is called the Spirit of the Lord. Every time you receive the oil with an open heart, He comes out for you.
In Isaiah 59:19, the Bible says:
So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a
standard against him."
When Samuel anointed David with oil, the Spirit of the Lord came down on him. This is the standard against every spirit that threatens your wellbeing, and every oppression of the devil. This is the fire that silences him and his cohorts.
David was anointed with oil, but the Bible didn't say that oil came upon him. It was the Spirit of the Lord that came upon him. Friends, what the anointing oil contains is not scientific. It is a mystery - the mystery of the indwelling presence of the Spirit of the Lord. There is no sickness on this earth that can defy the authority of the Spirit of God.
James 5:14 says that when the one who is sick is prayed for and anointed with oil in the name of the Lord, ...the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall RAISE HIM UP; and if he hath committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. verse 15
No matter the nature of the sickness, the Spirit of the Lord in the oil shall raise him up. For the Bible says in Romans 8:11:
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth
in you.
There is quickening power in the oil. It will quicken your ears from deafness and your eyes from blindness. No matter how close to death you are, there is enough power in the oil to quicken your mortal body.
Once, a man was brought to my office from Benin Republic. I couldn't look at him, because he was no better than a skeleton! He had a cup with which he was collecting the pus that was oozing out of his chest! He was as good as dead! I couldn't ask for the name of the sickness, as his case was so pathetic. All I could do was pray for him, anoint him with oil, and I gave him some of the oil to drink, leaving him to God. Imagine my amazement when not very long after, I saw him on the platform, testifying to his healing! (Full testimony is contained in the last chapter of this book.)
There's quickening power in the oil! Jesus believed in it. And after He left, His disciples also believed in it. That is why in James, the oil was recommended as a healing balm for any sick person in the Church. There is no sickness or disease that can resist the authority of the Great Physician's prescription.
A man had suffered from a protracted heart disease for eleven years. He attended one of our anointing services, at which in obedience to the instructions given, he placed a little of the oil on his forehead and made some proclamations as directed. And that was the end of that plague!
Another woman had an operation in the United States, at which, unknown to her, a piece of cottonwool was forgotten in her tummy, and for six years she suffered excruciating pains and torture! She was under one of such tortures when she reached out for the anointing oil and drank some. As the pains increased, she felt something drop from between her legs. She took the bloody lump to the hospital, where it was identified as cotton wool! From that day on, she has lived a healthy life.
There's this testimony from our church in Kaduna: A man (a member of the church) mistakenly left his bottle of anointing oil (probably one of those giant bottles) on his table. And his daughter picked it up and used some of it to cook pottage, what I call the "Mystery Yam Pottage". At the time, his Family had been suffering from three terrible plagues.
One of his sons, who was 15 years old had never walked! He had to make use of crutches and braces. His daughter had a lump in her breast, which could not be diagnosed, and his wife for eight years could not plait her hair, talk less of perming it. She suffered from an excruciating pain in the head that didn't seem to have a name, the pain was even worse than migraine.That mysterious afternoon, they
ate this food (prepared with the anointing oil) and all went to bed, to rest.
The first miracle that occured was that this man's son woke up and told his father, "I am going to play football"! The once crippled boy was now standing strong on his two feet, after 15 years of lameness! Secondly the lump in his daughter's breast began to bring out pus. And that ended that mysterious affliction! That same day too, his wife felt a strange relief in her head, and later confidently went out to make her hair! That was a three-in-one mysterious work of the Great Physician's prescription - the anointing oil!
Friends, there's someone in the oil!
From Chemistry To Mystery
Know, however, that the oil ceases to be chemistry, and turns to mystery only when it is in the hand of the prophet.
Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon
David from that day forward...
I Samuel 16:13
After the bottle of olive oil has left the factory, and touches the hand of the prophet and the prophet names it, it ceases to be a chemical product, it becomes mystery! That is why you may even be working in the factory where the oil is produced and still be dying of sickness!
There is a process that turns it to a holy anointing oil, carrying the Spirit of the Lord. You buy the bottle of oil
from the shop and bring it to the prophet for naming. As the prophet of God makes prophetic declarations over the oil, it ceases to be chemistry, it becomes mystery, and that mystery carries the personality of the Holy Ghost.
It's not just grabbing a bottle from a shelf that makes it the anointing oil. No! It is the prophetic touch on it that releases the mystery that it carries. Samuel (the prophet of God, sent of God) took the oil, anointed David, and the Spirit of the Lord came upon him from that day forward. That is the POWER in the bottle, that handles all manner of sicknesses and all manner of diseases. It is its mystery that delivers the captives. I see you delivered now!
Jesus said in Luke 4:18:
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the
captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
The anointing targets the broken-hearted for healing. It targets the captives for deliverance. It targets the blind for the opening of their eyes. It targets the bruised for liberty.The Spirit of the Lord is the content of the oil in the bottle.
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
Acts 10:38
That anointing handles all manner of oppressions.
The Fire In The Oil
I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am
not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable
fire. Matthew 3:11-12
This is another mystery in the bottle of anointing oil. It carries two powerful instruments a fan and fire.The Holy Ghost carries a fan in His hand. This fan has a sweeping effect. You remember the rushing mighty wind on the day of Pentecost? (Acts 2:2). He carries a fan with which He sweeps clean the floor of your body, the floor of your life, the floor of your home, your business, etc. He gathers the substance together and preserves them, but the chaff He puts together and burns off with unquenchable fire!
Friends, this seemingly innocent liquid is fire as well! And more mysteriously, fire and fan! The fan sweeps and also enhances the burning of the fire. The same way harmattan fire spreads because of the wind, so the fan spreads the fire in the oil to every part of your body from your head to your toes enabling it to do a thorough work. The devil can't stop its burning effect.
Today, I see every chaff in your body gathered together and burnt with an unquenchable fire! It doesn't matter what they say is wrong in your body.The Holy Ghost fire is our beautifier. He is the devourer of our enemy. He is our refining fire. The Holy Ghost is the judge of Satan, He is the humiliator of the wicked (John 16:11).
When the fire enters your body, it destroys every chaff in your body, it consumes every stone blocking your health, it licks up every spell of Satan, it licks up every evil water in your life!
Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and
licked up the water that was in the trench.
1 Kings 18:38
It is God's fire. The fire in the oil is liquid fire, strange in dimension!
John said:...He shall baptize you with Holy Ghost and with fire. Matthew 3:11
The Holy Ghost (the Spirit in the oil) will heal the sick, and open the eyes of the blind. The fire in the oil will afflict the wicked, and devour the wicked, but refine the saints. The wicked cannot survive its devouring power.
Malachi 3:2-3 says:
But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier
of sliver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord
an offering in righteousness.
Today, every mark of the wicked on you will be visited by the vengeance of the Spirit of the Lord. Nothing stops that fire! (1 Kings 18:38). Now, whatever represents an obstacle, a barrier, a blemish in your health, shall be consumed!
For our God is a consuming fire.
Hebrews 12:29
The Holy Ghost is God's consuming fire. When He enters your body (via the liquid fire), it consumes cancer, deafness, blindness, paralysis, lameness, dumbness, hypertension, fibroid, etc. When that fire falls, everything in its way is consumed. It is the consuming fire!
Friends, hear this again. Inside this innocent bottle of oil is the Holy Ghost and fire, for the refining of the saints. Whatever makes you look ugly, this fire is able to burn it off now! This is the Great Physician's ultimate remedy for all sicknesses and diseases.
Don't mind the long, intimidating name the doctors gave your sickness! Sickness is sickness. It is the spirit of the devil. It is an evil spirit of torment.But the fire in the oil will burn off any spirit of infirmity. It will burn off any spirit of sickness. It will burn off whatever is holding you down. This is your hour of liberty!
There it is, friends. I have presented to you the Great Physician. His name is Jesus. And I have presented to you, the Great Physician's prescription the Balm in Gilead, the healing balm the Anointing Oil.
With these two in place, you are bound to live an uninterrupted, all-round healthy life.
Chapter 6
Begin To Curse Sickness!
Every sickness, every disease, is a curse. It is not a product of the weather or any such thing. You don't have a headache because you were under the sun for long. Were you the only one the sun was shining upon?
Every sickness is a curse! When you work and you are tired, all you need is rest, not sickness. At least you haven't worked more than Jesus. He was a workaholic, yet He was never reported sick once. If you have worked and you are fatigued, all you need is to set yourself apart somewhere and rest awhile. God didn't say, "Go to the clinic and rest, or come apart awhile and take an injection."
According to the Word of God, which cannot be broken, every sickness, and every disease is a curse! They are all packaged in the curses of the law:
But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his
commandments and his statutes which I command thee this
day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: The Lord shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it. The Lord shall smite thee
with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish. Deuteronomy 28:15, 21, 22
So malaria is a curse. It is not caused by a mosquito bite. The parasite is not from the mosquito, it's a curse of the law. How about the children of Israel, who lived under the open air in the wilderness for forty years? They must have been bitten by mosquitoes. Yet the Bible tells us that none among their tribes was feeble, neither were their legs swollen.
God said, "I am the Lord that healeth thee" (Exodus 15:26).
So He was right there in their midst. The curse of sickness had no access to them because God was in their midst. This same God is now on your inside.
He said in 2 Corinthians 6:16:...I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
How about that? He was only in their midst and they enjoyed perfect health. Now, He is inside you, why is sickness taking you for a ride?
Verse 22 of Deuteronomy 28 continues: ...and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning (internal heat, high temperature).These are all curses.
Verse 27 says: The Lord will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. So skin disease is a curse. Itching in your body is a curse!
Verses 28 and 29: The Lord shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart : And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness... That is, long-sightedness, short-sightedness, all manner of deficiencies in your sight all that make you, and even your children wear glasses are curses!
Verse 29 continues:... and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee. Curses! Curses!
Look at verse 35: The Lord shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head. Problem in the knees, in the legs, boils of all kinds, all are curses!
Verse 59: Then the Lord will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance. Friends, everything that cleaves itself to you is a curse, whether it was there last week, it's been there since one month, one year, ten years, twenty years! It's a curse!
Because 2 Corinthians 4:17 says: For our light affliction...is for a moment...
So when any affliction stays beyond a moment, it becomes a curse. Affliction is permitted for only a moment.
Psalm 34:19 says:
Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
Nothing is permitted to cleave itself to you more than for a moment. Anything that continues for long or perseveres, is obviously a curse.
See verses 60 and 61 of Deuteronomy 28: Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee. Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the Lord bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
Every sickness, every plague is classified among the curses. EVERY! No explanation can erase that. But thank God that by the blood of Jesus, you have been redeemed unto God (Revelations 5:9), and you are now free from ALL curses!
Galatians 3:13 tells us:
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:Christ has carried all our curses!
So we are entitled to absolute liberty. He has carried all our sickness, all our plagues. We are entitled to freedom. We are entitled to divine health. The day they hung Jesus Christ on the cross at Calvary, was the same day all your curses were averted. So, now, every sickness is under your feet. Every disease is under your feet.The price for your health has been fully paid.
So the scriptures conclude:
...and with his stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:5
By His hanging on the cross, the curses were paid for. They are now converted to blessings. You are now entitled to blessings galore. Sickness is not a blessing. Pain is not a blessing. Plague is not a blessing. Neither is oppression. They are all curses! So, how do we deal with curses?
Curse Them!
God was speaking to Abraham in Genesis 12:3:
And I will bless them that bless thee, and CURSE him that curseth thee...
Sickness is a curse, so it must be cursed. Every sickness in your life now is due for a curse. You are to use your mouth to curse it. Jesus has set an example for us.
See this account in Mark 11:12-14 and 20.
And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he
came, if haply he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter forever. And his disciples heard it. And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig
tree dried up from the roots.
Every sickness in your life will dry up from the roots!
And Peter calling to remembrance saith to him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou CURSEDST is withered
away. Mark 11:21
Jesus actually cursed the fig tree! Whatever you curse today will wither away! Whatever seems to have been humiliating you is due for a curse. Some children came forth and began to mock Elisha. What did he do? He cursed them!
And he went up from thence unto Beth-el: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou
bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and
tare forty and two children of them.
2 Kings 2:23-24
He cursed them, and two she bears came out from the woods, and ate up those children 42 of them! We are the Elishas of this generation. Jesus is our Elijah. He passed the
mantle over to us.We are the Elishas of this generation. Nothing is permitted to mock us. Sickness is not permitted to mock us, nor is plague permitted to mock us.
So anything that has been mocking you is now due for a curse. That thing that will not let go of you, that migraine, that asthma, that hypertension, that rheumatism, that barrenness that has been reproaching you, those arthritic pains that have been oppressing you; whatever it is, that has been mocking your Christianity, like Elisha, you will turn back and curse them in the name of the Lord.
Listen, God won't curse those things for you. No! You have to do it yourself. He said, when you see a mountain, curse it without any doubt in your heart, and it will move.
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that
those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Mark 11:23
Whatever you curse shall remain cursed forever. In 1 Samuel 17, Goliath opened his mouth to curse David in the name of his gods, and David opened his mouth and cursed him in the name of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And because whatever is from above is above all (John 3:31), the greater curse prevailed, and Goliath's head came down!
Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to
thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. This day will the Lord
deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcasses of the
host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know
that there is a God in Israel.
1 Samuel 17:45-46
Stop watching the enemy curse you, curse him back! You have observed the enemy for too long. That sickness must go! That plague must go! That depression must go! Everytime you open your mouth, you swallow up the rods of the magicians! If they put down their rod and you keep your own, their own will smite you. But when you put down your rod as well, it will swallow up their own.
It was so in Exodus 7:12:
For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
Everything David said to Goliath was confirmed. Goliath surely lost his head that day, as David had declared it. Friends, it's time to curse your curses!
In John 14:13 Jesus assures us: And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do...
Elisha cursed his mockers in the name of the Lord, and they were destroyed. Every sickness and disease is a curse of the
law, and Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law. It is a settled case. And in the place of the curse we have this promise from God:
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
Genesis 12:2
You may ask, "Was it not Abraham He said it to?" Of course! But, by the same token that redeemed us from the curse of the law, we also entered into the blessings of Abraham (Galatians 3:13-14). So, even as God promised Abraham in Genesis 12:3, no one, nothing, curses you and survives! The will of God is to curse whatever curses you. So believe Him and declare it, and you shall definitely see it come to pass.
Menstrual pain is a curse! Long hours of painful labour to give birth is a curse! Back pain is a curse! Anything that causes you pain, contrary to the covenant, is a curse! Open your mouth and curse any and everything that is mocking your Christianity! You're created to be envied, not to be pitied.
God said: There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god. I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. Psalm 81:9-10
Whatever you open your mouth and curse today, will dry up from its roots! Whatever has been disdaining your
Christianity till now will come to an end right now! We have spent too much time praying, instead of cursing.
There is a time for everything a time to plant and a time to pluck out that which was planted. There is a time to build and a time to pull down. Every prophet has been anointed to plant and uproot, to build and to break.
It's in Jeremiah 1:9-10:
Then the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. See, I have this day set thee over the nations and
over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
The time has come for you to destroy everything that is standing against your destiny. Don't report mountains to God or to any man, curse them! Call them by name and curse them in the name of the Lord, and you will never see them again.
For: ...at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; Philippians 2:10
Jesus cursed that fig tree. You too must know how to curse, to survive in this wicked world. It is time to curse everything that mocks your life.
In Luke 21:15 God said:
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
God has given you a mouth, and with His wisdom at work in you, no adversary can resist or contest whatever you proclaim. This is your hour of liberty!
Exodus 23:25 says:
And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away
from the midst of thee.
Serving God automatically delivers you from the curse of the law. When you serve God with unquestionable dedication (not one leg in, one leg out), He will take poverty and sickness away from you, and destroy death on your behalf.
The Bible says, "And he shall bless", not, "He may" or, "He can", "He shall"! It is time to remind the Lord that you have been serving Him with all your heart, soul and strength. Perfect health is your heritage under the covenant, and according to what is written in the New Testament, it has become your birthright (Galatians 3:13).
Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them. Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye
hearken to these judgments, and keep and do them, that the Lord thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers: And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless
the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the
flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee. Thou shalt be blessed above all
people:there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
Deuteronomy 7:11-14
Friends, sickness has no legal hold over your life anymore. Because you serve the Lord and keep His commandments, you are entitled to liberty.
Satan cannot hold you captive any longer! It's time to get results!
Chapter 7
The Healing Balm Works!
We have here proven testimonies of the efficacy of the anointing oil, confirming that indeed, it is the healing balm the Great Physician's prescription, the allpurpose drug, for all ailments of life!
Alive And Well!
"Sometime in 1993 I noticed that my stomach occasionally swells up. When I consulted a doctor at LUTH, I was informed after he had gone through my scan report that I had only 14 weeks to live. The doctor, in the course of a discussion with his female colleague mentioned a similar
case which resulted in the death of a woman few months earlier. On my way out of the LUTH premises, I scooped the sand from the ground with the belief that it will be my last visit to the hospital.
I called at another private hospital, where the scan report revealed something quite different, though positive.I decided there and then to take the matter to the Greatest Physician, God Almighty. Since May 1995, when I started attending Winners' Chapel and I drank the anointing oil, I have stopped experiencing any stomach disturbance, disorder or eruption.
Also, I thank God for what He did in the life of my husband, who had been smoking cigarettes for almost 34 years. He fell sick and was given the anointing oil to drink while on admission in a private hospital. To God be the glory, he stopped smoking in 1995, after drinking the anointing oil!"
Atunwa, A. O.
Haenia Destroyed
"I was brought to Winners' Chapel in May, 1995, by my son. After hearing the Word of God from the Bishop, I could not go back to my former church again. I needed to be comforted at the time I came and the Word of God comforted me. I came with this deadly disease called haenia. The doctor I met could not help me. The Bishop said that prophets are God's rescue instruments in hard
times. He said he was sent to set the captives free. He also said the Pharaoh before us would be drowned.
Before then, I was supposed to undergo an operation. But during the ministration, the fear of the operation I had suddenly died as a result of the diverse healing testimonies I heard.On the 27th May 1995, during the Breakthrough Seminar, I gave my life to Christ, as that was the only qualification for me to board the Eagle's Flight.
The Bishop taught us on the significance of the anointing oil (the power of God). I must say here that after that seminar, by reason of the anointing oil, haenia was humiliated and destroyed! I am alive today, by faith in the Word of God. One day during offering, the Bishop prophesied that as we drop our offering in the basket, every pain and sickness would drop off us. The nine months headache I was having ceased before I got home! I am now totally healed."
Itabana, M. E.
Healed Of Haemorrhoids
"I inherited a disease called pile from my parents. It was so bad that it resulted in my having difficulty when easing myself. When I manage to visit the toilet, my anus would protrude and I would be unable to stand for more than five minutes after easing myself. It grew worse when I got married and started having children.
The first day I stepped into this church was an anointing service day. I came at the peak of the pains of
haemorrhoids. Then the Bishop said, `Take a shot of the anointing oil'. The instant it touched my mouth, it had not even gotten to the anus, when I screamed and told my husband beside me that it had gone. Nobody believed me until the next day. I went to the toilet easily, with no problem! The second day, the third day, a year, two years now! I am totally healed by the mystery power in the shot of the anointing oil!"
Adepeju, F.
The Anointing Swallowed Up Death!
"My sister collapsed on the 7th of December 1995. We took her to the hospital and she was diagnosed and recommended for an operation, which took place that same day; but the wound refused to heal. The cut was stitched thrice, but kept opening! She was taken to another hospital, where nothing could even be done. The doctor there told us to forget about her, that she would eventually die, because she had emaciated so much.
We then brought her to the Healing School here in February. They ministered healing to her and the anointing oil was blessed for her. She began to drink the anointing oil and anointed her head with it continually. In March, we decided to be pouring the anointing oil into the operation wound, since it couldn't be stitched again. We anointed it with oil and covered it up with cotton wool. And to everybody's amazement, the wound started healing!
She also started eating! And after only two weeks of application, flesh grew back on the wound and it was completely healed! She started eating well and gained her flesh back! My sister and mother, who were taking care of her then, are both born again now and worship at Winners' Chapel, Ibadan, following my sister's mysterious healing.The anointing swallowed up death for her!"
Olusola, A. F.
Healed Of Bronchitis
"I was told by my parents that I was born with a bronchial problem. After over 25 years, it defied all human solution, both medical and traditional. I was told by doctors not to eat any carbohydrate food, oily or fried food, etc. Also, I must not stay in a dusty or stuffy environment. I could not use the air-conditioner, nor fan. I could not drink cold water nor eat any dry thing.
In 1992, the understanding concerning the anointing oil dawned on me. I had had an attack for days and was fed up with the whole thing. In anger I told God, `Lord if I drink acid it will burn my stomach and this is man's handiwork. Lord, men are not more powerful nor are they wiser than You. Here is the anointing oil (the power of God), Lord as I drink Your power now, let it be an acid that will burn off every bronchitis now'. And I drank it.
Before I knew it, I coughed everything out that day! I was totally healed and since then I've been free to eat or drink anything or stay anywhere I like. I can now breathe well
and life has meaning to me now. I thank God for Bishop David Oyedepo, and for the insight into the mysteries of the Kingdom!"
Oladapo, O. J.
10 Years Pile, 7 Years Menstrual Pain Gone!
"After hearing of the mystery of the power of God present in the anointing oil from the Bishop's preaching, I started taking a shot of it every time and anointed my anus with it. By doing this, the pile which had been worrying me for the past ten years was healed!
Also, I got healed of perpetual menstrual pains, which had been disturbing me for the past seven years, by taking a shot of the anointing oil, by rubbing my stomach with it and by taking the Communion and also by Feet Washing!"
Soyomi, O.
Now He Can Hear!
"This boy is my nephew. He had two problem. She could not hear and also had a swollen scrotum, which he had from birth. I am a product of the WOFBI April Special course. One of the courses we were taught was New Testament Special Ministrations. The lecturer gave us some testimonies in class. I picked two scriptures Exodus 30: 23-30 and Mark 6:13. When I got home, I administered the Word and the anointing oil on him.
I had been applying it before then, but that day, I was charged in the Spirit. I gave him seven shots of the oil and dropped the oil in his ears seven times. I also anointed his scrotum seven times. And to the glory of the Lord, the size of the scrotum reduced the following day! By the fourth day, it had come back to its normal size. Also whereas before you had to tap him, now, when you call him, he can hear! I give God all the glory, 10 years swollen scrotum and five years deafness healed!"
Fadunibi, C.
Everything Disappeared!
"Before now, I had some afflictions from the devil, including ulcer and much more. As if that was not enough, some strange objects began to move about in my body. I woke up one morning to find out that half of my body was frozen. Since then, I had this thing that when somebody hissed, I suffer a lot. But I had heard from Exodus that the Lord does not afflict. He only heals. So, I held on to the anointing oil which I mixed with my body cream and kept applying it day and night. Then after the water baptism last Saturday, I found out that everything had disappeared!"
Asiberi, M.
Sickle-Cell Disappears!
"I was born with a sickle cell disease, and for a long time, I suffered so many things. In 1988, I came across one of Kenneth Hagin's books, where he told the story of his healing. Then I also stood on the Word of God and claimed
my healing. But up to about last year, I still used to have some symptoms and pains. I wondered when it would all stop.
In February, we came here for the Breakthrough Seminar and on the anointing night, the Bishop asked us to take a capful of the anointing oil, that that would be divine health forever. That day I was so happy. I said, `Lord this is it! It's going to be forever'.
Later, I forgot all about it, until a day we had to go for a lab test in the office. When I got there, I made bold confession saying, `Me, I am as sound as stone!' A week later, when I collected the result, my blood group read AA! To the glory of God, my blood group which on 17th September, 1980, read genotype SS (sickle cell), now reads genotype AA (normal blood group) on 17th March 1994!"
Odutola, O.
Tuberculosis Disgraced!
"l became a Christian in 1991 and in 1993, l was attacked by a mysterious cough. It was on for one full year before l went for medical diagnosis. The doctor told me that l had contacted tuberculosis. I became very sad, because the doctor told me that if l don't treat it now, I may die. I was referred to I.D.H, where the doctors had to take a look at my chest X-ray and a sputum test was performed. During this period my weight dropped drastically!
One day, l kept an appointment with my doctor, who read my X-ray report and told me that my lung cavities are bad
and that they had marks. That meant l was on danger list! At this time, l had started experiencing uneasiness, persistent coughing, sputum spitting occurring per second, sleepless night, high blood pressure, constant headache and my voice became hoarse, such that people could hardly hear me when l speak.
Doctors were contemplating putting me on admission, for close medical observation. However, l was told to be coming from home. I was later placed under drugs and daily injection for 54 days, which did not help matters at all. l was even told to keep on taking a particular drug until the doctor advises me to stop.
In January, 1995, l became a full member of Winners' Chapel. I then began to take the anointing oil and l started experiencing great relief! Then l went for another medical check up. I was told to perform another X-ray test. When my doctor saw and read the X-ray report, he was astonished at my fast rate of recovery! He could not believe his eyes. He began to say that this had never happened in medical history to the best of his knowledge.
Since, then my weight has increased and my voice is back to normal! In fact, I had no cause to take drugs again. I don't even feel ordinary headache again! There is a lot of strength in me now! I am completely healthy!"
Asenokha, D. O.
Sores On The Leg Vanish!
"I am a student of the Federal Polytechnic, Auchi. In 1995, I stepped on a cashew nut and the juice splashed on my left leg. That marked the beginning of agony and pain in my life! Like joke, the water stained my leg and left white patches on it. From that, it developed into black patches, which started itching me. The itching was so terrible that I was almost running mad. But thank God for His grace. The itching used to occur at night until dawn.
At first, I refused to scratch it, but it made me so uncomfortable that I just couldn't help myself. Then the first Breakthrough Seminar I would attend commenced in June. I came, I saw and I took it all. On the second day, which was Friday, the Bishop said we should rise up and pray. I obeyed and when he took over, a different sensation came upon me. My leg became so heavy that I could not stand on it.
When I opened my eyes to see what was happening, I saw pus coming out of the leg! I was scared, because there was no sign of pus being in the leg before then! During the anointing service, more pus came out. For a month, pus kept coming out of the leg. The sight was disgusting! I changed my bedsheet everyday, because it was always soaked.
When I got back to school for the first semester in ND II, it grew worse that I almost lost confidence in myself. I was using the anointing oil regularly, but it was like the more I used it, the more serious it became. I started using drugs, it defied all medications.
Then the Bishop preached about the Mystery Of The Anointing Oil in another seminar. I came from school, just to attend. I almost lost faith in the anointing oil, due to my expectation of quick results. I obeyed when he said we should never allow our heads to lack oil. Thus, I started anointing the leg every day. In fact, it became my cream. People around me were wondering how `this small bottle' could cure the terrible sight. But it did!
By February, exactly a year after it started, the sores all vanished, by the anointing oil. Even to me, it was and is still a mystery! The leg is perfectly in order now and I can walk properly with it. My confidence is twice what it used to be now."
Adeoye, J.
All The Boils Disappeared!
"Three months after giving birth to my daughter, she started having boils all over her head. This was in 1990. These boils, when they came, were always from five upwards. We took her to the hospital several times for injection. There was no week that we didn't buy ampicillin drugs, all to no avail. Whenever these boils came, two were always as big as the size of a table tennis ball. The pus that comes out of the boils cannot be described!
This continued for two years, week after week. The last time the boils showed, my husband said we would burst them the following day. A voice, however, reminded me of the anointing oil. I took it and rubbed my daughter's head
with it. The only thing I said was, `In Jesus Name', and she went to sleep immediately. The next day, something happened, which I will never forget in my life. All the boils disappeared! There was even no trace of the scars!"
Erue, G.
You Can Cheat Death!
"In June 1992, I had problems with my respiration, I could not breath well. I came down to Nigeria from Cotonou where I live, for medical checkup. After a series of medical examination at a private hospital, I was referred to LUTH for an operation.I was admitted there and one night, a so-called doctor operated me. I later discovered that he was not a qualified doctor and that he did the operation on the chest, and in the process punctured my lungs.
\Three days after the first operation was done, another one was done, this time by a qualified doctor, who did it from my right rib. A month after the second operation, I was discharged and told to be coming for check-ups every two weeks. In the course of my coming for check-ups, the doctors went on strike. So, every time I came, because there was no one to take care of me, I was always told to go and continue on my medications. Meanwhile, the first operation done on the chest caused my chest to be swollen, the stitches tore off and the flesh there began to decay. But due to the antibiotics I was taking, the wound was healed externally, while internally, the wound was still fresh.
In 1993, I started having pains on the chest and it was diagnosed as lung abscess. For almost two years, I was unable to lie down to sleep. I could only sleep sitting up. I then began to stool and vomit pus. In fact, the pus came out through any possible means, looking for an outlet. While this was on, I had a very tender spot on my chest which burst open one day when I tried to sneeze. Pus began to come out from there too and not too long after, two other spots opened on my body. This resulted in my having to hold up a container to collect the pus.
Again, I came down to a private hospital in Lagos for treatment, but even after a bill of 200,000 naira, they could not close the holes or stop the pus. I was then discharged to go and wait for fate. But on 5th of February 1995, I was brought to Winners' Chapel. As soon as the Bishop saw me, he was gripped with compassion and started rebuking the spirit of death. He prayed for me, anointed me and gave me his mantle, telling me to go, that I was healed.
I went back to Cotonou and began using the anointing oil to dress the wound, drank some and tied the mantle around my neck. To the glory of God, within two weeks, the three holes on my chest sealed up mysteriously. This ailment had cost me about half a million naira and I've been to 15 different hospitals in Cotonou, Nigeria and Cote D'Ivoire. In fact, plans were on to take me to Europe for treatment. One of the doctors I met described me as a time bomb that could go off at any time!
Now, I can breath normally and have returned to my normal life. In fact, I travelled down from Cotonou on my
own and I go to my office normally. My spinal cord and all that shifted to the left as a result of my lifting my right arm up always have returned to normal now. I just give God the glory. I know that it is the finger of God in my life, otherwise, I would have died long ago!"

Scrotum Sack Shrinks To Normal
"My husband and I noticed that our four year old son had a swollen scrotum sack. We went to the doctor who said that it was hernia and that it could only be corrected by surgery. Two doctors confirmed that the operation would cost us about 20,000 naira.
We started coming to this church, and one day we brought him to the Healing School. He was prayed for and anointed with oil. On getting home, we noticed later that something like scales started coming off his body from his waist down to his legs. This type of scales continued coming for days, his body was peeling out in scales. After about one week, the swollen scrotum sack shrank to normal! It came back to size by the power and touch of God!"
Madueme, U. F.
He Rose Up From His Deathbed
"A female student had a brother that was far gone with AIDS. They had given him up to die in two days time. His Family had even bought a coffin for him, and a deposit had been made with the national paper for his obituary. It was
incredible. Every body had given up on him, except this sister, who had contacted stubborn faith at WOFBI and ministered to him with the anointing oil.
The same night he had a vision of Jesus. He rose up from his "deathbed", received Christ, got baptized in the Holy Ghost and has never returned to the sick bed! He has since been moving about on his own, to the amazement of every one!"
WMA Uganda
Completely Healthy and Free From AIDS!
"A lady who graduated from our Bible School (WOFBI) in Kampala, Uganda phoned in this testimony: One week after her graduation, she was in the hospital to see a woman that was dying of AIDS. She anointed this woman (already given-up for dead) with the anointing oil. And a few minutes later, this woman got up and went to the toilet all by herself! A week later, she was back in her home completely healthy and free from AIDS! The medical reports are available."
WMA Uganda
"I Am Happy! I Am Happy!
"After the course on divine healing, I went to apply the anointing oil on a cousin, who had contacted the AIDS disease. Before my arrival at her house that day, she was very weak and couldn't move at all, because she had become paralysed on one side. I anointed her whole body
with the oil, gave her a capful to drink and prayed for her. Almost immediately, she fell into a deep sleep. I told her sisters not to be worried about her and promised to visit them the following day. I prophesied that when I come, my cousin must have been able to sit on a chair by herself.
To the glory of God, the following day, I met her sitting on a chair and eating! We prayed together and sang some choruses. A few minutes later, she began to shout, `I am happy, I am happy.' Before leaving that day, I again prophesied that she would soon be able to come out of her room by herself, something she had not been able to do for a very long time. I was in my shop the following day when someone ran to me, to inform me that my cousin had got off her bed, left her room and was sitting in the sitting room!"
Agbobli, F.
Certified Healed Of AIDS!
"In Ethiopia, a woman's child was infected with the AIDS disease through an injection she received, and the child's face was full of wounds. This woman attended our Breakthrough Seminar in Ethiopia, and on behalf of her child, she was prayed for and anointed with oil. She went home and laid the same hands on her child and the wounds on the child's face began to clear.
She went to the hospital for a re-examination, but they refused to do so, saying they had given her a diagnosis already. But all the wounds on the child disappeared in a
week and two weeks later, she was re-examined and was medically certified healed of AIDS!"
WMA Ethiopia
All The Symptoms Have Vanished!
"I was sick for the past three years, and had been hospitalized several times. All the tests that were carried out could not diagnose the problem. Later they did another test and the doctor finally told me that I had this disease called SIDA (AIDS). In addition, I had developed other complications. I had pulmonary T.B., liver disease and my heart was failing. Because of the liver disease and the heart problem, my abdomen swelled up, as well as my feet.
Last Friday (during the fifth Wonder Night organised by the missionaries from Nigeria), when we came here I was quite sick. The man of God at one time asked everyone to leave the hall. When we were re-entering they anointed us one by one. After I was anointed, I went to my seat and a great joy poured into my heart, and peace surrounded me all over. I didn't even realize what happened immediately, but since that day, the swelling on my feet disappeared and the abdominal swelling as well! I can now eat well. All the symptoms have vanished. Now I am completely healed."
WMA Congo
Healed And Discharged!
"We went to the hospital for our practicals and met a woman, whose little child was an AIDS victim. He had so
emaciated that all we could see was a bony frame lying on the bed. We prayed for the child, anointed him with oil, after we had led his mother to Christ. On our second visit to the hospital, the boy was up eating and playing around! The hospital authorities say he would be discharged soon. We also met another AIDS patient, whom we led to Christ and prayed for, anointing him with oil. When we checked back, we were told he was healed and had been discharged!"
Frere, F. G.
She Came Back To Life!
"During my Believers' Foundation Class in 1994, we were taught how to put faith in action. One beautiful afternoon, I was sleeping in my room when I heard people crying. I came out to see what happened and I saw a crowd crying, that a woman who came to see her brother from Kaduna, had died. I said that they should not cry again, that the woman was just sleeping.
I went back into my room to pick my bottle of anointing oil. I asked where she was laid and I was shown. All I knew was that something was in me that was pushing me to take all the action I took. I asked for her name, anointed her and quoted a scripture from the Bible, where Jesus said to Lazarus, `Come forth'. After this, she came back to life!"
Afolabi, M. O.
Dead Woman Now Lives!
"Last week, my neighbour shouted through out the night. And at about five o'clock in the morning, my driver came to take the bus, to go to work. My neighbours just gripped him and said he should take the woman to the hospital. He then ran back to tell me that a corpse had been put in my bus, that they want him to take it to the hospital. I immediately jumped up from the bed and by the time I got outside and saw the woman in the bus, I said, `I'm a child of God. My bus shall not carry a dead body.'
So, I ran back into the house and took my anointing oil and mantle. I told them to open her mouth and I poured almost the whole content of the bottle into her month! And she swallowed it! I also anointed her eyes. I tied the mantle around her neck and immediately, she took a deep breath. I then told God to revive her. She immediately opened her eyes and began to ask for her husband. I told my driver not to bother to take them to the hospital anymore, and I prayed for her. Here is the woman today."
Eke, J.
Back To Life After 3 Hours!
"When I wanted to bath this baby (1½ year old Titilayo) yesterday, I told one of her elder sisters to bring her to me, not knowing that the child was dead already. As I was to bath her, I noticed her funny behaviour. I looked at her eyes and saw that she was gone (her eyes had rolled up) and her mouth was wide open. I shouted out for help. One of my neighbours, who worships here came to my aid.
We gave her drugs, and did all we knew to do (her feet were burnt to frighten her back to life), but she still didn't come back to life. The brother then carried my daughter to another sister who also worships here and they both began to pray, they prayed for three hours! But she still did not come back to life. We then took her to the hospital, but the nurse there refused to admit her, saying that the baby was dead, that there was nothing they could do to her again. But this brother kept insisting that she would come back to life in Jesus name.
He and the other sister then brought out their anointing oil and mantle, laid the mantle on her chest and poured the oil on her head and mouth and began to make prophetic declarations and she came back to life! She is perfectly all right now!"
Balogun, S.
Anointed For Growth!
"When my younger sister was seven years old, she stopped growing. She was then about three feet tall. Her breasts were growing big, but she remained a dwarf. Our entire Family became concerned for her. We were worried that if she remained in that condition, no man will like to marry her. We prayed and committed her into the hands of God, believing that God will do a miracle.
One day in May, 1995 the Lord woke me up at about 2 a.m., and commamded me, `Wake up and anoint your sister for growth'! The Word of the Lord came to me from Luke
2:52, of how that Jesus increased in wisdom and stature. This is her picture as a dwarf. You can see that she is now about the same height with me. Right now, two young men are competing in asking her hand in marriage!"

"She vomitted 16 needles!"
"My brother's wife was critically sick and after going here and there I invited her to this church. Her reply was, `Are you not an Alhaja?' I told to her that something brought me here that, once she comes, she would definitely find a solution to her problem. And she followed me here.
We met a pastor who asked what the matter was. She explained that she was suffering from excruciating pains in her stomach. He blessed the anointing oil we brought and gave her some to drink. But three days later the pains reoccured. She was then brought back to church, where the anointing oil was administered to her all over again, after which she vomitted 16 needles! To God be the glory, she is hale and hearty today."

"He Walked Out On His 2 Feet!"
"Yesterday, I went out and before I returned home, they had brought a man to my house. What happened was that this man went to see a friend and when he stood up to go, he couldn't stretch out one of his legs, it was bent and couldn't be stretched out! Immediately, the leg had swollen
up so much that he had to be carried by two hefty men. Coincidentally, the man is a medical doctor. He told them to go and buy every kind of balm he could think of. On applying them, the leg still did not stretch out, it was still bent.
One of those helping him then remembered that a brother was living nearby. He suggested that the man be taken to the brother, maybe after being prayed for, the leg will stretch out. They brought him to my house. I wasn't at home then, but they met my father and left him (the man) in my house and left.
Immediately I returned, my father said that I should go and meet my patient in the living room. I went to the man, proclaimed the Word to him and prayed with him. After that, I anointed his leg and to God be the glory, he walked out of my house on his two feet!"
Adeyelu, O.
"100% OKAY!"
"Monday last week, I was in the shop when a couple walked in. They came to complain that they bought some expired syringes and needles from my shop and that the items were contaminated. They said after injecting their daughter with it, the girl had since not been able to walk. She was even lying flat at the back of the car.I was surprised, because I do not sell any fake thing in my shop.
We went through the sales book and found out that they had indeed bought them from my shop, and on checking
the expiry date on the box, we found out that the items were not expired. They then went back to the hospital, which insisted that there was nothing they could do and they came back to me.
I immediately remembered that I had my bottle of anointing oil in the shop. The couple were about driving off when I ran after them with it. I asked them if they were Christians and they said yes. The girl was lying down flat, as she could neither stand up nor sit up, and she had been like that since Saturday, when she was injected.
I anointed her and prayed for her, rebuking the spirit of paralysis and they left.The man later came back to me, to ask me how much I sell my bottle of anointing oil. I told him it was not for sale, explaining what it was to him. Charging him to have faith and believe in its efficacy, I gave him some, which I instructed should be given to her to drink as well as used in rubbing her body. And first thing the following day, the man came to me to say, (quoting him verbatim) `The girl is now 100% okay'."
Egunjobi, D. (Mrs.)
"It's No More There!"
"Since 1989, I had a lump on my neck and each time I press it, I pick it up. But when I came to this church, I heard the Bishop say he once had T. B. and when he discovered the Word that, `He Himself took away our infirmities,' he was healed. I then began to believe God.
It got to a point that it became so painful, that the enemy said to me, `Why don't you go for an operation and remove the lump?' But I said, `No! The Bishop said, "He Himself took away our infirmities". And that is the Word of the Lord. I will believe Him'. So, I kept on anointing it. And today, it's no more there! I can't pick it up anymore!"
Uche, K.
"...Not A Single Attack!"
"For the past 35 years, I've been a victim of the scourge of bronchial asthma. And on the 6th of April this year, I came here for the anointing service. I've been hearing about Winners' Chapel for sometime now and that day, something prompted me to come here. I've heard about the Bishop before, and I've also read some of his books.
On getting here, the sanctuary was filled, so I had to stand outside. A woman on seeing me standing, told one of her daughters to get up for me to sit. And immediately, I knew that I was going to be healed! After the Bishop blessed the anointing oil, he told us to take a capful of it. And immediately, I felt something in my chest.
On getting home I drank another capful of the oil. I also anointed my chest with it. Could you believe that since the 6th of April 1996, I've not had any other attack! Before then, I had only one companion the inhaler. And since 1994, I've used about 80 of such inhalers, and at an average cost of 300 naira for one! But since that day, I've not had a single attack!"
Ogunmuyiwa, E. O. (Pa.)
"Devil, Shut Up...!"
"For about 12 years, I suffered from very acute menstrual pains. When it comes up, I always throw up and feel very feverish. It was a very terrible experience. I thought it was one of those things, as a woman. In fact, people used to tell me that when I have my first baby the pains would go. I agreed with them and settled down with it.
In the last six years, I've been believing God for a healing, confessing that I'm healed. But when the pain grabs me, I just let go, forgetting about confessions and the like. At the anointing service of the February Breakthrough Seminar, the Bishop said we should drink a capful of the anointing oil, that that shot was all we needed for any healing in our bodies. I made up my mind that I've had enough of the pains and that I was going to hold on to my healing this time around.
When I got back to school, I read Keys to Divine Protection. I came across a page where the Bishop said, `Fear is one of those things that makes you lose your victory.' I then realised that after making all my confessions, and when I see the first sign of my period coming, my body unconsciously begins to prepare for the pain. I realised that fear had really gripped me.
After reading the book, I knew I had my breakthrough. So, I went on my knees and said, `Fear, I destroy you. Satan, you have no hold over me.' When in February I saw the
signs again, I just took a shot of the anointing oil and declared, `This is the lastshot I'm taking for this particular problem.' My body had already started preparing itself for the pain, but I said, `Devil, shut up, get lost and stay lost! I'm healed this time!'And praise God that since then, I've not had the pains again!"
Oyinlola, D.
Ear Healed!
"Since I was born, I had pus coming out of my ears. But yesterday, when I came here for the Healing School, I was anointed with oil. I used to clean my ear up to four times in a day, but after I was anointed, the pus dried up! I haven't cleaned my ear since yesterday."
Aiyegun, A.
"From Coma To Life!
"I have a friend who had been seriously sick since the beginning of the year. And four days before this incidence I am about to testify to happened, she fell into a coma, she was completely gone. I told God that if He did this one for me, I will come out and testify to His glory. So, two weeks ago, on the anniversary celebration day, I went to her at LUTH, where she was taken when she fell into the coma. I prayed, gave her the anointing oil and rubbed her whole body with it.
As I was doing this, I kept talking to her, to remember God, that God is alive. I knew she did not hear me, but I knew
that God heard me. And to the glory of God, after four days in coma, she came back to life. Of the four people in coma there, she was the only one that lived. She is still in the hospital now, but she has started walking and is now able to go and ease herself on her own."

Completely Healed And Delivered!
"In November last year, my children told me that they had found a church nearby, where they would like to be worshipping. They attended the November Breakthrough Seminar. I had earlier told them that which ever church they decide to attend, they must not add anything to the preaching of Jesus Christ there, otherwise I won't allow them to attend anymore.
But my wife and children came back that Saturday night with bottles of the anointing oil. As they came in, they said, `The Bishop has commanded that we anoint the whole house,' and they began anointing the whole place. Before I knew it, they had slashed the oil upon my head! As this happened, I wondered what to do to them. I then decided that I would stop them from going to that church.
As I got up to go and meet my wife in the room, to give her my verdict, something told me to wait and observe that my backache which was the reason why I couldn't drive my Family to church for some time, was no longer there. I stopped in my track, sat down, stood up, threw a sheet of paper on the floor, bent down and picked it up! All these
were feats I couldn't perform for a long time without any pain! I was completely healed! So I couldn't carry out my threat to stop them from worshipping here. The following week, I got back home at night to discover that my wife had anointed all my clothes. She said the Holy Spirit told her to anoint all my clothes. I kept quiet.
The following day, I wore one of those anointed clothes and went to my shop. In the afternoon, I decided to go to my building site. After sometime, I went to ease myself behind the house. I didn't know there was a snake in the unfinished house behind me. As I was easing myself, the snake struck on my back! I took a stick and killed the snake. When I told those on the site with me that I was bitten by a snake, they looked at the spot where I was bitten and said they couldn't see any snake bite there. I believe it was because of the anointed clothes I had on. They told me that they have been trying to kill the snake all the while.
I then reasoned with myself, `This place where I've not even started worshipping and all these healing and deliverances have happened, I'd better join them there.' So that's how I began to worship here!"

17 Years Hypertension Gone!
"I came to this church during the May Breakthrough Seminar, six months ago. I was then a serious hypertensive patient, with my blood pressure rising to 200/100Hg, causing my doctors to run helterskelter, to keep me alive.
But when I came here that May Breakthrough Seminar, I saw my Bishop standing and he said for 26 years he had not been sick and had not taken any particular drug. I thus claimed that testimony for myself, with my anointing oil, which became my morning coffee everyday.
If I forget, I usually go back home to take it. In fact, when you looked into my bag then I had all sorts of hypertensive drugs, whose names I have now forgotten because I don't need them anymore! And from that May till now, I don't know how much they sell any of the tablets again!
This blood pressure had been since 17 years ago. I have a daughter who is now 15 years old, when I was pregnant with her, I had to see the doctor everyday, because they said it was dangerous for an hypertensive patient to be pregnant. So, I give God the praise and I thank the Bishop, at least I claimed what he said and God is working it in me!"
Obazee, (Mrs.)
He Is Now Normal!
"I have a cousin in the United states. He is a very young man and was highly blessed. But Satan saw to it that he ruined him. He took drugs. It was so much that he was chasing everybody about with gun. Later, he left his home, and sold all his property to buy drugs. Later, he became a destitute, living under the bridge in the United States. It was a great burden. We cried and cried and there was no hope.
We came forward here, and the man of God told us that I should sit on his chair, to represent my cousin. I sat on the chair. I bought a mantle and a bottle of olive oil and they prayed. People came in from the United States to say that they have decided to take him to one village in my town, to treat him the juju way. But one man told them, `We've got the solution. When you get to the United States, just give him this anointed oil and the mantle'
The first miracle that God did was that my cousin accepted the things from them, he did not chase them with gun. He took the anointing oil and drank almost half the bottle at once! He then went under the bridge and packed his belongings. The following week, he called all his relations, to tell them that he was normal. He went to a Baptist church. The Lord has undertaken to restore him."
James, L.
"I am Now Perfectly Healed"
"I have been having problems in my left ear since 1986. Since then, I have been living on Penicillin and Ampicillin 500 MG. I've also tried all drugs, but to no avail.And when I joined this church, I began to use the anointing oil. I took it many times, but there was no healing in sight. But last month, after the Breakthrough Seminar, I heard the testimony of a brother who said he was healed of an ear problem after he applied the anointing oil that was dripping from a pastor's head.I then asked myself, `But I have the bottle in the house, why is it like this?' So I went home,
prayed and told my wife to put some drops in the ear. I am now perfectly healed."

"The Fresh Face Of A Baby Came Out!"
"A sister was used to save a couple from a certain church. After they stopped attending the church, the people there vowed that they would never succeed. When it was time for the woman to deliver, she collapsed in the labour room and life was gone out of her. So, her husband sent for this sister that was used to deliver them. As she was leaving the house, her husband told her, "Carry all the weapons of God at your disposal." She obeyed.
On getting to the labour room, she anointed the dead woman and she came back to life! When the woman was raised up from death, there was no contraction for delivery. So, this sister again said, `In two minutes, something is going to happen'. And according to her word, in two minutes, the child came out of the womb. But the child came out dead.
The sister then said to herself, `That God Who has began a work will Himself complete it. So, she anointed the child and it came back to life. But something more happened. When the child came to life, lo and behold, it had a chimpanzee's face!
So, the sister took the baby, washed and cleaned her and dressed her up and said, `Under two hours, this face must be changed'. She then took the picture of the child's parents
and said, `Lord, every child must have a resemblance of either one of the parents or both of them'. She prayed and was relaxed. And according to her word, under two hours, the fresh face of a baby came out! The baby was brought to the church yesterday night, for everyone to see."

Scales Cleared!
"A brother walked into my office and pulled up his trousers; and what I saw on both legs were scales, like that of a fish, from his knees to his ankles. He said he had had it for some time and had gone to the hospital, but there was no cure for it. I then anointed both legs and decreed that in seven days it will be cleared. He came back to tell me that he was cured in six days."
Our Pastor
Healed Of Offensive Hair Odour
"Since I grew up to know myself, my hair had always had an offensive odour. Because of that, I kept a low-cut. But a time came I decided to perm my hair. When I did, my whole scalp got burnt and worsened the odour. When my hair was due for retouching, I was afraid to go and dress it.
Then one day, I anointed my hair, my scalp, all over, and went to retouch my hair. I didn't have any burns! It was much much later that it also dawned on me that my hair no longer smells! To prove it, I decided to keep my hair tightly covered for a whole day, to see whether the sweating would
make it smell, but nothing like that. I was, and I am still completely healed of that embarrassing ailment!"

2 Years Growth Disappeared
"For the past two years I had this growth behind my head, for which the doctors told me there was no cure. At the last communion/anointing service, the Bishop told us to prophesy against whatever was not of God in our lives. Carelessly I just spoke to the growth behind my head, anointing it with oil, saying, "Dry off!" And lo and behold, by the third day, the growth had dried up!"

"...Still Alive And Perfectly Okay!"
"This is our third child. The expected date of delivery was supposed to be the 4th of September, 1994. Until the 21st, the baby had still not come. There was no sign of any labour. On the 23rd, I went for antenatal. By this time, the movement of the baby in the womb had virtually seized, it was difficult to hear the foetal heartbeat, and above all, I started urinating blood.
On the 23rd, I set my face like a flint, determined to bring forth my baby, alive. So I packed my bag, in which I had amongst other things, more than one bottle of the anointing oil, and I went to the clinic. All the while, I kept on urinating blood. Eventually, the labour started. As the labour progressed, all the nurses, including the doctor, were
seeing me as a woman who was going to give birth to a dead child, because by all medical indications the baby was dead in the womb.
I was asked to go for scanning, but I refused that. All I knew was that I would give birth to a living child.As the labour progressed, I asked the nurses to get me my anointing oil in the bag, then I instructed one of them to anoint my stomach and the birth canal, through which the baby will come out, and she did. Then, the baby came out lifeless, with the thick umblical cord tightly wound round his neck!
The nurses said he was dead. I said, `No! My baby is alive'. For 30 good minutes they tried to make him cry, but nothing happened! I tried to get up to go and anoint him myself, but the nurses were alarmed, saying I should not get up, because the placenta hadn't come out yet. I told them the placenta wasn't coming out until my baby had cried.As soon as the baby came out, they had quickly wanted to take him out, so that I don't see the dead child. I said to them, `The baby must cry in the labour room. Don't take him out!'
I then told them to get me another bottle of the anointing oil from my bag. Then I told them to anoint him all over. They did and still nothing happened.I said `Pour it into his mouth!' They opened his mouth and poured in the anointing oil (the `power of God in a bottle'), and, the baby that was called dead sucked in the anointing oil, and then cried! Here he is, still alive and perfectly okay!"

"I was Made Whole!"
"I had typhoid fever for over two months. I was taken to several hospitals, but I was still not cured. This evening again, I went to the hospital for a blood test, and I was given a prescription, to go and buy drugs. I didn't have the money to buy it, so I went to my sister who lives nearby.On getting there, she said she couldn't give me that money, but that she had something else that was good for me - Jesus Christ. She told me to follow her to the church here. I came along with her and stayed in the Healing Room. When the time for ministration came, I was anointed with oil and given some to drink. And immediately I received the oil, I was made whole!"
Ajayi, O.
Healed Of Paralysis!
"We brought him (my father) from the east four months ago and have since been going from one hospital to the other. My father placed his left arm on a charm sometimes back and since then, he's been paralysed on that side.A driver who picked us from the hospital was the one who directed us here. This is our first time of coming here and we were late for the service. We sat in the Healing Room and as the anointing oil touched my father, he said, `My daughter, I feel released'. Before, he couldn't raise this arm. But now, he can raise it!"

Plague Gone!
"I used to feel a lizard walking on my head. This used to cause me fear and sorrow. But when I came here yesterday for the Healing School, I was anointed with oil and immediately, the Lord healed me of that plague!"
Shehu, A.
"Now, I Drink The Oil Like Water!"
"Today is my first time of worshipping here. I want to attest to the power in the anointing oil. There is a woman that fries Akara (beans cake) in front of my business centre at Oshodi. The woman worships here. Last month, this woman came to my shop and saw me writhing in pains and asked what was wrong. I told her and she said, `If I give you something, will you accept it?' I relunctantly told her, `Go and bring it, I will take it', because the pains were unbearable.
So, she went to her bag and brought me her anointing oil. She poured some in the bottle lid and gave it to me to drink, saying, `Believe God, everything will be alright.' Immediately I drank the oil, I started having some movement inside my tummy. The Spirit told me, 'Get home', and I did. On getting home, I was pressed and wanted to go to the toilet. The Spirit again said, `No use the chamber pot, which I did. When I wanted to empty it, the Spirit again said, `Look' and I did. I couldn't believe my eyes! I saw a life worm, which had come out of me. It was
alive and stained with blood. Now, I drink the oil like water!"

"...The Baby Started Crying!"
"On March 29, 1996, I was on my way to Benin City by public transport and we stopped to get some fuel. There was a chemist shop at the filling station. One of the passengers a lady went to get something in the shop and came back to tell us that a little baby had just died there.When I heard that, the Holy Spirit spoke to me, `Bring out your anointing oil'. Another voice said, `Go your way'. I obeyed the Spirit of God, because that was the first time I ever carried my anointing oil.
When I got there, I shouted, `Where is the baby that is alive?' The people there were surprised. I shouted it again and again. Then I used the anointing oil on the baby. After a while, the baby started crying! They were all amazed. I gave the mother some of the anointing oil."

God Repaired The Body!
"Just yesterday, at 10:45 a.m, I went to work at the Tin Can Island Port, where I work as a clearing agent. Immediately I got to the first gate, there was a terrible motor accident, that lifted a man about 10 feet into the air and dropped him dead. Everyone around ran away, including the Police and members of the Armed Forces. When I saw this, I said to
myself, `Is this the message God has been telling me, `Go and do My work, go and do My work?'
After Tuesday's Feet washing service, I knew that something new had happened inside me. So, I carried my bag and ran to the man. And remembering the testimony of a pastor here, I poured the whole bottle of anointing oil into his mouth, declaring, `God is going to repair this body right now.' And the man started recoiling! When this happened, the policeman that had earlier fled came back, to stop vehicles coming from both sides and joined me in prayers. When the man got up, people started asking me where I came from."
Iwunze, I.
"That Was The End Of Everything!"
"On the 1st of October, at a Feet washing service, I heard the testimony of a woman, whose child started dying after being fed and how the brethren around came to her aid by praying for the child, anointing him with oil and at the same time calling upon the God of Bishop Oyedepo and how the child came back to life.This was on Tuesday.
And over the night, at about 2:30 a.m, I heard the sharp cry of my neighbour's one month old baby. I wondered why the baby was crying like that, and before I finished saying this to my husband, there was a knock on my door. The person who came said, `Mama Promise, Iyawo said I should call you.' I knew there was trouble, so I grabbed my bottle of oil as I ran to her. On getting there, I asked what was wrong
with the baby. The woman said she breast fed the baby while lying down and after feeding him, he started dying.
I said, `God, I heard this testimony yesterday. Father, You don't change. If You are the One that really healed that baby that was testified about yesterday, this is Wednesday morning. The God of Bishop Oyedepo, come and heal this baby.' I poured the oil into the boy's mouth, poured some into his nostrils and anointed his head. My husband and I then said a short prayer and baby slept off. That was the end of everything. Earlier, when they sent to call me, they had also sent to call a nurse. But by the time the nurse came, I had already finished everything. The nurse said she could not do any other thing."

"...The Coin Came Out!"
"This little girl swallowed a 50 kobo coin three years ago. A brother brought her father to me, telling me that the man had gone about in search of a way of getting the coin out of the girl, but that all efforts proved abortive. I was shown the X-ray and referal paper to LUTH, for a major operation. I said to the girl's father, `We know the God we serve and the God of David is alive. The coin in this child must surely come out'. I asked him if he believed and he said yes.
Ironically, he was a moslem before (he is now converted to Christ). I told him to make a vow to God, that if He removes the coin from her, he would do something for Him. He said he had already vowed that if God should pull
out the coin from her chest, he would change the girl's name. I then anointed her with oil, and sent her home. Her father returned the following day, to tell me that she had been unable to sleep and had been coughing a lot. I then prayed for her and she slept soundly that night. I assured them that the coin would come out. And finally, this coin came out, just like that! This is the coin (already corroding)!"

Doctor's Report
Foreign body (e.g. coin) in the oesophagus is a very difficult condition to treat, especially when it has been there for a long time (3 years as in the case of this child). The shadow of the coin can be seen in the oesophagus on the x-ray. The operation usually done is oesophagoscopy and it can only be done by a few specialists in this country. There is no doubt in my mind that this is a miracle, it is the finger of God.The coin is corroded and the edge is even breaking.
Dr. Okunola (Ear, Nose and Throat Surgeon)
Healed Of Skin Problem
"In January this year, I returned from work perfectly healthy, I didn't feel any headache or cold. But suddenly, from no where, an unknown thing began to rise on my right shoulder, all through the night and in the morning, just like a ballon, it burst. And everywhere the liquid touched on my body began to peel. I was taken to the hospital, where I spent two months, and yet I was not healed.
People said it was an evil attack and I was taken to a native doctor. I was there for a month and a week and there was still no improvement. In fact, the problem worsened. I couldn't breathe, the pains seized my breath, I could only breathe half way. My right hand became paralysed, I couldn't raise it up well. Also, I couldn't sleep on the bed. I only sit on the floor and rest on the wall.
I have a neighbour, who worships here. I had never seen him before, but early every morning, he would ring the bell, calling his Family to prayer and my spirit would concentrate on their prayers and when they finish, I would relax again. By this time, I had no more money with which to go in search of further treatment. One day, the Spirit of God told me, `Go to that man and receive your healing'.
So, I got up and went to him, I could only throw my cloth on my back, because my whole back had peeled off and I could only walk slowly. I saw the man working with his mechanic outside and when I explained everything to him, he took me to his flat and called his wife. And together they began to pray for me.
Before they started praying, they asked me if I had received Christ yet. I was first let to Christ and then the man began to pray. After praying, he told his wife to bring him the bottle of anointing oil. He told me to remove my cloth and he poured the oil on my body and gave me half a bottle to take home, instructing me to always pour it in my bathing water.The following morning when I woke up, I was still thinking of how to get up, because it was usually difficult to lift up my right arm.
But lo and behold, I raised my right arm and up it went, freely and with no pain whatsoever! I also got up freely, with no pains, only the wounds were remaining. And as I began to apply the anointing oil as instructed, the wound that had earlier defied all forms of treatment healed up and everything was back to normal again!"

"She Started Walking!"
"Two years ago, God gave me a child through a parent who doesn't even know about the children. The girl was two years yesterday, but had never walked since she was born. We kept her in-doors all the while. But God visited us this month, and I decided to take her to a baby sitter. God led me to a pastor who had just finished his full-time Bible School course here. He has a ministry at Abesan Estate and told me to bring the child.
The first day I took my daughter there, I didn't meet him, but met the nanny. My daughter was given anointing oil to drink that day and she started stooling and vomitting. In fact, she was in a very pitiable state when I saw her. All I could say then was, `You are not going to die, you are going to live'. And three days later, she started walking!"
Akinyemi, F. (Mrs.)
Sickle Cell Disease Gone!
"Two years ago, a hospital in Abuja diagnosed my son as having sickle cell anaemia. The doctor said he had to be on
daily drugs all his life. Even then, the hope of his survival to adulthood (according to the doctor) was remote. Later, I discovered a palliative made in Akure from herbs, and started applying it.
In September 1995, I was passing through Lagos to obtain some of the herbal preparations, when a friend in Living Faith Church, Lagos, invited me to worship there. He discouraged me from going to Akure, explaining that his daughter had been cured of the same disease through divine intervention as the Bishop prayed for her. I did not make up my mind. So, I still went to Akure and obtained the herbal preparations.
When I returned to Abuja, I dreamt and saw myself completely surrounded by a cloud, in the rafters of Living Faith Church, Abuja. I had never been to the church before. The following service day, I went there and I saw the church as it was in the dream, I believed that God wanted to do something for me. My whole Family started worshipping there regularly.
One day, just before an anointing service, my son insisted that he wanted his own bottle of anointing oil. He sat by me in church and I guided him in administering the anointing. He drank caps-full and slept. He slept till the following day! From that time, I observed a new lease of life. He developed a great appetite and his body started filling out. He no longer misses school because of ill health. The symptoms have disappeared!
Since that day in September 1995, my boy has been in excellent health, in fact, the most healthy in a Family of nine! My entire Family now lives in perfect health, without any drugs. Our faith has been further strengthened by the Bishop's book, Keys To Divine Health."
Obor, M
Demonic Fish Excreted!
"In 1989 I started noticing that I only go to the toilet after about three days or at times a week's interval. I don't know for how long this had been on, but I started noticing it in 1989. It never used to affect me, I ate and slept normally. So, I never paid any attention to it. I also discovered that immediately I finished eating, I normally had a very sharp bite in my tummy. The pain, though very sharp, never used to last beyond two seconds. It is usually so short that I never paid any attention to it as well. I began to notice this also in 1989.When it bites me on one side, it moves to another side again. I just assumed it was caused by worms and I'd taken worm expeller about twice.
All these never used to affect me. I'm very strong and don't fall ill, so I never paid any attention to them. I've been pastoring churches, but I discovered lately that whenever I pastor a church, after some time something would happen, resulting in my losing that job. So, the one that happened last gave me much concern, so I came for the WOFBI June Special Bible School Course. It gave me much concern because this was the third time it was happening, and I knew something must be responsible for this. Anytime it
happened like that, it puts me in a period of suffering, and under a lot of pressure.
About a week ago, I decided to wait on the Lord. So, I collected some tapes from a brother and I took the book, The Force of Freedom and Exploits of Faith. Any time I listen to a tape, I stop and pray. There was this particular tape The blood and the Oil. After listening to it, I began to pray, and drank some quantity of the anointing oil, after which I began to read The Force of Freedom.
I started my fast on Tuesday. And as I was reading, I suddenly began to feel uncomfortable, I began to sweat profusely. There was no electric power, so I opened my door, to allow air to come in. But the way I was sweating became very abnormal, so I thought it was probably because of my fast, because it was a long time I last undertook such a dry fast. I started the fasting on Tuesday and this thing happened on Thursday. So, I thought the fasting was having its toll on me.
I went and bought some oranges and drank it. But after taking the oranges, I discovered that something was still moving inside my tummy. I began to hear a flapping sound inside my tummy. I began to wonder what was wrong, as I only used to feel the tummy bite after eating, not before. And this time around, I had not eaten for about two days.The noise continued and I had to do a blood of sprinkling service, thinking it was an attack. But then it continued.
Meanwhile, I had taken the anointing oil and the blood before this movement started. After sometime, I had to go to the toilet and I passed out a lot of stool. Then all of a sudden, I began to hear the same flapping sound in the toilet bowl. And when I looked into the bowl, I saw a fish, something like a tadpole, with two legs! I was shocked and almost screamed, but had to restrain myself in order not to draw people's attention. I began to wonder what it was and was almost confused about what to do. I decide to go and get a bowl, with which to collect the tadpole from the toilet bowl, to show to people.
Since then, I've been going to the toilet normally. I went to the toilet twice that day and yesterday, I also went twice. In fact, I've been to the toilet since I got to church today. But it wasn't like that before."
Brown, S. A.
Healed Of 18 Years Cancer of the Liver!
Rev. Samuel A. Afeme gave this testimony on behalf of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Sarah Agogemo Inwe, who was miraculously healed of liver malignancy and massive asutis. She had barely six more hours to live before she was anointed with oil, the healing balm!"This disease lasted for 18 years.
Q: How did it start?
A: It started as a pregnancy that ended as a miscarriage. She then developed complications, such as blood coming out of her intermittently, and pains in the womb.That was
how she became powerless, so powerless that she could no longer do anything. She could no longer go to the farm, because she gets easily exhausted whenever she spends little time at the farm.
Q: How old was she when this started?
A: She was 30 then. She is 48 now. And last year her stomach became very big.
Q: Does that mean her tummy wasn't big before now?
A: It was big; in fact, people thought she was about five months pregnant. But by this year, not even a pregnancy for twins could be that big, and she wasn't pregnant. In fact, the reason why I had to take her out of the village (Idheze), to Sapele, was because if a woman with a big tummy dies there, she would be thrown into the bush instead of being buried. They don't bury such corpses in the town, they just cut up the body and throw it into the bush. Her legs were also swollen, so they would think that one juju or the other had caught up with her.
So I said, "How can this happen to my mother-in-law?" So because of this, I carried her out of the town. By the time we got to Sapele, all our mind was that she will be operated upon, so that whatever was the problem in her would be removed. But by the time we visited a hospital in Sapele, the doctor after examining her, referred her to Benin City, for x-ray and ultra sound.
We did the tests and returned to the doctor at Sapele, who declined treating her, saying that he couldn't tamper with
the ailment, that it was beyond his ability. He then wrote a letter introducing us to UBTH, that only UBTH and UCH could handle such cases. In fact he wrote the letter to the UBTH management. My mother-in-law was not given any treatment there, not even an injection. This was 4th September, 1996.
Q: When was the ailment diagnosed as cancer of the liver?
A: It was on 4th September 1996.
Q: By this time how was she feeling?
A: She was very very weak. Taking her from place to place was as if one was walking with a millipede. I would hold her to myself as I helped her to walk, and people would be laughing at me, saying all sorts of things such as, "Your wife wan deliver. Na road e go born o." Meanwhile, she is my mother-in-law. Her stomach was so big and she had no power, she could't eat.
Q: For how many days couldn't she eat?
A: For a long period. Since about April, she could not eat normal meals, she couldn't take a good quantity of meal. She could only just eat about 1/3 or 1/5 of her usual meal.She couldn't eat anything because according to the diagnosis, if she ate anything, it was difficult to digest. And even if it had been digested and broken into the various groups like minerals, they don't go to their various places, because all the organs had been destroyed. So they all end up as water. Her stomach was so big, turgid, very strong.
I then consulted another doctor in Benin, who said nothing could be done. Before I consulted him, I went to another doctor in Sapele, who agreed to carry out an operation to take away the spleen, which was also enlarged. He said he could take away the spleen, but could not tamper with the other parts of the body. He also said that even after this is taken out, she could not last more than six hours.
We went to Benin and the doctor there said the solution was UCH Ibadan, under the operation of the World Health Organisation (WHO), that we couldn't afford the cost of treating her (about 50,000 -100,000 naira). He described her ailment as a government one, that had to be taken care of by government. It was then I remembered that I had a doctor friend here in Lagos. I felt that we could get to UCH through his recommendation.
As I was thinking of this, I also thought, "If she can get to Lagos now, the best place to go is Winners' Chapel". I felt I just had to see the Bishop for prayers before she should go for the operation.
Q: Had you met the Bishop before ?
A: Yes, I had met him in Ibadan and have always been here for the School of Ministry. I knew the power of God that was here and knew that I just needed a greater power to overcome the sickness. When I got to my doctor friend here in Lagos, he queried me, asking why I should bring a corpse to Lagos here, asking if I had the means of transporting a corpse back to Isoko or did I want to bury her here in Lagos. The doctor said that by the reports before
him (her medical history and reports), she was a dead human being, that her illness was a terminal disease. He said her liver was completely gone, the pile, the pancreas and kidney were all gone. He said she had only about six hours to live.
I brought her here (Winners' Chapel) on the 7th of September. We arrived here at about 6.30 p.m., and was told that the Bishop had just left. We waited for him and after some time, I told her to go with the olive oil we had bought to the altar and pray. I told her this because I knew that sicknesses come here and once one touches any part of this place the sickness vanishes. After doing this we still patiently waited for the Bishop, because somebody assured us that he would come back.
He eventually came, but hurried to the pastors' meeting he had. We had to wait for him till after the meeting and on his way downstairs from the classrooms, we intercepted him and kneeling down, I said, "Please sir, look at my mother-in-law, she is at the point of death." He appeared very busy, but after taking a step away from us, he looked back and stopped. He asked, "Who are you? Are you believers?" I said, "Yes. I'm even a pastor and have been coming here. This is my mother-in-law, who is at the point of death. She has malignancy of the liver. Look at the x-ray, look at all her medical reports, the ultra soud".
The Bishop then started praying. He opened the bottle of oil I had bought, blessed it and poured it into her mouth and anointed her with it as well. And that was all. Immediately after the prayers, all those who were following him began
to say, "Madam you can no longer die, you are alive". We all began to dance, including the pastors, rejoicing that she was healed and completely healed. We then left , and as soon as we left, she passed urine for the first time.
Q: What was the quantity of her urine?
A: According to her, if she was passing urine, it was very minute. She would be feeling the pressure, but it wouldn't come out. But immediately after the prayers, less than five minuites after, she passed urine excessively along the road leading to the bus stop. By the time we got to where we lodged, she quickly requested for food, and for the first time she ate a whole bowl of eba, with all the pieces of meat in it! And after eating she went and passed excreta, which she descibed as the darkest thing she had ever seen in the world.
On our way back to Sapele, I still had the fear of the doctor's diagnosis at the back of my mind. In fact, I kept watching when she would die, so that I would hold her. But I thank God that we got to Sapele safely. We kept watching, praying and taking the holy communion each morning. In my presence the formerly swollen chest went down, this was the following day we got back to Sapele. It went back to it's normal shape and size.
It appears something happened inside the chest, probably a kind of balloon was deflated. The following morning, I saw the stomach go down, like that of a woman who is about to deliver. Her swollen stomach went down like that of a baby
that is about to come out. That was how her stomach began to reduce.
Q: How long did it take?
A: On the 40th day we got back to Sapele, she was already healed about 20 days before that day. That is 20 days after she was prayed for, her whole stomach became flat. She was now healthy. I just kept watching her, how she was coping and found out that she was able to do every thing she couldn't do before.
Q: What about her swollen legs?
A: That one dried up. All the swollen places dried up on their own. My father-in-law was anxious to see her when I told him of her healing, so I had to take her home.
Q: Did you go back to the doctors?
A: I did, and one of them said it was impossible. Before we came here, I met one of my pharmacist friends, we used to live together in Benin before. He was the one that said, "Well, this case is beyond medical treatment". He said he had been here, and that what he learned at school is not what he is experiencing here. He said any sickness that defy medication responds positively to prayers here. He was the one who gave us real assurance and courage, becuase after reading the medical report, he shook his head. This is the wonderful thing God has done.
In fact, all my Christian life I have never seen it like this. I mean, I took her away from the village only because I
didn't want her to die there with her swollen legs and tummy, so that her corpse would not be rejected. And here she is, hale and hearty, fully restored back to life and health! That's what God did,and it is marvellous in our sight."
Wonder Baby!
"The doctors made me to believe that I cannot have a child. But I remembered a testimony the Bishop shared, where he boldly declared, `It cannot happen, can I have my food please?', after his wife told him she had a miscarriage. At a time I thought I was pregnant, so I went to the hospital for a test. I was told that I was not pregnant, but that I had fibroids. I then went to see a renowned gynaecologist, who further confirmed that I had fibroids.
I went back home and began to anoint my head and my tummy daily, with the anointing oil. To the glory of God, nine months later, I gave birth to a baby! I'm here today to dedicate the baby to the Almighty God."
