Series: The Power of Healing and Deliverance
Scripture Reference: Matthew
10:1
Today’s Discussion: “No
Time to Play, There’s Work to be Done”
The lesson aim is to remind believers that our primary
objective in life is to work in our God-given purpose. More importantly, we must not forget that we
have been sent by Jesus out into the vineyard to validate the authenticity of
HIS kingship. Apropos, how we conduct
ourselves will have a positive or negative reflection on the one that has sent
us. (References: St. John 13:35)
The overall theme of this text is exposing the core principals
of discipleship training. Jesus has
given these chosen men various instructions on what to do and say as HIS
representatives. HE has led them through
various stages of spiritual growth by challenging their minds to think
victoriously before seeing any evidence of cure or change. (Reference:
Hebrews 11:1)
Jesus equipped “them” with power to perform miracles.
Interestingly enough, Jesus realized that the work of the kingdom would
not be a cake walk, especially for these men he has just chosen to live the Kingdom agenda. Through this example of
divine providence the Lord implements a very critical component for fulfilling
the kingdom assignment: Team Work
(Reference: Romans 12:4-5; Ephesians 4:4-7) The text also establishes a direct link
between the disciples, Jesus and God, the Father. (Reference: St. John 15:7-8) Amazingly, the main focus for the church
today can be determined from Matthew 10:1 – taking charge of our destiny”:
– “he gave them power against unclean
spirits, to cast them out,
and to heal all manner of
sickness and all manner of disease”. (define the
following terms using your bible dictionary)
Power -
Against –
Cast them out -
Heal -
Sickness –
Disease –
The real solutions for world problems can be answered and
resolved by the church of Jesus Christ.
We have been instructed to follow God’s divine plan for change.
“2 Chronicles 7:14
– “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and
pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from
heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. ()KJV
Power is the source of all strength.
ReplyDeleteAgainst is something to is not for, but not with the same mind etc.
Cast them out is to be set aside; placed in a separate area.
Heal is defined as being. Delivered from a sickness or a issue that overtakes your life
Sickness is an issue that can directly or indirectly effect your way of life or think pattern.
Disease is an illness that sets up in your body that has many different functions
These terms all have to do with having faith and being empowered, by God to deliver personal hearings and having the faith that His has already given us what we need to access that power. The scriptures are speaking about taking charge of our destiny.
We are all at different levels with our walk with Jesus but we should all know His commandments and we are all one body under Him. We all are up different members and aspects of His kingdom.
Our pastors, usher boards, deacons, choirs, etc., can't win us a seat in the kingdom. We have to know Him and give our personal testimonies about His goodness and grace and mercy towards us. He has given us a physical building to worship in, but worshipping Him allow with not save us. We have to have faith and to come together, under one accord and pray and fast and live the Christ-like life, that He has already given us.
