Goodseed Daily Devotional 23rd April 2024
TOPIC: HE TOOK AWAY MY SIN AND SICKNESS
SCRIPTURE: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
Matthew 8:17.
I heard a story some time ago. There was a judge who acted as judge over the case of his friend. In delivering the judgment, he found his friend culpable, and sentenced him for committing the offence.
The friend thought he (the judge) was going to be lenient because of their friendship, but that was not to be. The judge meted out the full weight of the law on his friend.
However, when he came down from the judgment seat, he told his friend, “Though I sentenced you, I will pay the price for you because we are friends. Let me bear the sentence.”
You see, this was exactly what Christ did for us. We were also condemned sinners left to bear the consequences of our sins, which are curses, spells, sicknesses, afflictions, death, etc. but Jesus came and took them all away.
Beloved, this revelation is key to our healing.
However, many people do not know what Jesus did for us on the Cross of Calvary. They are carrying sicknesses, afflictions, curses, spells, evil patterns, etc. that Jesus had already dealt with, and taken away on the Cross.
Matthew 8:17 says,
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
Beloved, if you are carrying any negative thing that Jesus had already carried on the Cross of Calvary, today, it is uprooted out of your life in Jesus’ Name.
But you must believe that Christ’s Sacrifice and Death on the Cross of Calvary is a basis of your liberty and health therefore Thank God for the sacrifice on the Cross of Calvary.
Refuse to allow in your life the sin and sickness that Jesus took away for your sake.
PRAYER: Thank You Lord for the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ, on the Cross of Calvary. I reject sin and sickness in my life. I ask that You cleanse me from every sin and heal me from every sickness by the Blood of Jesus, in Jesus’ Name.
