By their actions or inactions, many have brought themselves sickness and disease. Today, many people are sick because they reject the laws of nature, divine law, and morality. God created man and then established the laws that allow us to live in harmony on Earth. Originally, man was not meant to die, but death, illness, and sin crept into the world after Adam and Eve fell. People were living for 900 years and more. Remember Methuselah, Jared, Noah, and others who lived 969, 962 or 950 years? After the flood, there was another reduction. God further reduced it to 120 years because man continued his disobedience. God said that, while doing so, he had grown tired of fighting with mankind. Before the flood, you already knew how deeply rooted in sin and idolatry that generation had become. They almost sexually assaulted the angels who came to Lot’s home. Imagine that people had already embraced homosexuality, Satanism, and occultism at this age. Later, we were able to see the 70-year mark, which is three plus ten years old as an acceptable age. How many live to be seventy years old today? As iniquity, godlessness, and disobedience have increased the years of mankind has continued to decline. Disobedience is the cause of sickness, death, curses and poverty.

If we still follow the natural and divine laws we’ll be able to stay in good health, prosper and live longer on this earth. If we do not, diseases will consume us. You will be punished if, however, you refuse to listen or follow my orders, treat my rules with contempt and ignore my instructions. You will be terrorized by sudden diseases that destroy your health and cause you to lose your sight and life. Your enemies will destroy your crops, and you will have wasted your time planting them. You will lose to your enemies when I turn on you. You will be ruled by those who hate you. And you will flee even when there is no one chasing after you! Leviticus 26.14-16. Oh, my God! You heard that? It’s scaring! The last part I let go because I knew that fear, phobias, depression and psychological breakdown are all linked to many other illnesses, which can cause more harm than the physical ones. If we disobey, he said, he would unleash terror and poverty, as well as wasting diseases that kill. If we are able to avoid them, we will then be overcome by fear. When no one is chasing us, we will keep running aimlessly and endlessly. Jesus! You may still be wondering why some people do terrible things and take their lives, even when they have no reason.

We will experience mental disorders, as well as organ failures and cancer, if we abuse drugs and engage in sexual activity. Our lifestyle is responsible for the STDs and HIV that affect millions of people every year. Other people also get involved in crimes and antisocial behaviors, and end up in special homes, hospitals, or other institutions. You will not be able to enjoy good health if you do not eat well and exercise regularly. Some people eat or drink anything they want, just to save money. They end up ruining themselves. It is important to be disciplined about what we consume. If we wish to live a long and healthy life, then it is important that we exercise regularly and rest well. It is God’s will. You will pay the price for breaking these laws with a constant sickness that may lead to an untimely demise. We must also, spiritually and psychologically, keep faith and hope in God at all times. Many people today die from depression, heart attacks, strokes, and high blood pressure because they have lost their faith and hope to cope with the stress and shock of the world. You know when you start losing hope, you will die. True. It is now that you have faith. Faith is now. Hope is for tomorrow or the future. You will have the stamina and ability to hold on positively, continue moving forward believing in your expectations. This will never fail. People who are depressed, addicted to drugs or even commit suicide have lost all hope. My friend, I’m here to tell you your future will be great if you hold on to God’s promises and word with faith and hope. You will either fall sick, die or worsen your weaknesses if you give up hope.

The other ones include anger, hate, covetousness and envy. These silent killers will destroy us. They are silent killers, because they creep in unnoticed and slowly eat away at us from within. These poisons can also be deadly when they are used to drive our actions. Today, many people are sick because of these poisons: anger, hate, jealousy, covetousness, and an unforgiving attitude. They aren’t as easy as you think. These are poisons for our bodies, our health, our spirit and our soul. They can negatively impact our health, including our sleep, blood pressure, heart, and brain. The bible even told us that we should avoid them all if you want to stay healthy. Please check today your heart to see if there are any toxic substances hidden. If so, remove them. It is impossible to be completely healed while holding onto these toxic substances. It is impossible to hate and envy while being well. It is impossible to covet, refuse forgiveness or hate and heal. You cannot!

Covetousness, anger and depression caused King Ahab’s insomnia, loss of appetite, and eventual depression. If this had persisted, it would have resulted in health complications and mental, psychological problems. Was his problem? Naboth declined to hand over his vineyard. Jezebel, his wife, was the one who saved him. You can have serious health problems if you do not eat or sleep. You also witnessed how pride, hatred and an unforgiving attitude ended Haman. Do you remember him? You remember him? He couldn’t forgive Mordecai because he didn’t bow to him, and so he spread his hatred of Jews to everyone. This obsession ate him up and caused him to have sleepless nights, restless days, until eventually it consumed him. Why do you feel sick still? Are you harboring any hidden toxic substances in your heart today? You will receive divine healing today if you forgive and let go. You may have been hurt, offended or cheated but God wants you to forgive and let go of the person for your total healing. By obeying God’s laws, we can avoid getting sick or at the very least prevent sickness from settling in our body. Choose the options that are more healing, such as love, peace and joy. It’s great to laugh a lot. I feel refreshed and healed by it. His word, he said, is medicine for our bodies. In the name of Jesus, I pray for your complete healing. Till next Sunday.
