Why you ought not be sick?
1 Corinthians 6:15 CEV
Don't you know that your bodies are part of the body of Christ?
Is it right for me to join part of the body of Christ to a prostitute?
No, it isn't!
Why did Paul shake off the viper after been bitten and went off as if nothing
happened? The traditional Christian will say, because he was an Apostle. Wrong
answer! Paul did that because he understood who the Christian is. He understood
the mystery of Christianity.
“And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire,
there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. And he shook off
the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. Howbeit they looked when he should
have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great
while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that
he was a god....Acts 28:3,5,6 KJV”
Do you mean that this can be and should be the experience of every Christian If
his mind is completely renewed to the same knowledge that Paul had about the
Christian? An emphatically big “Yes”. What understanding did Paul have of the
Christian?
When one becomes a Christian, not only is his spirit but the body too is dipped
into Christ. In our introductory scripture, Paul says, “Your bodies are part of the
body of Christ”. Your physical body too has become a member of Christ. This is
why joining that body with a prostitute is unacceptable, this is why fornication is a
“No go area”
Since sickness is not permitted in the body of Christ, there shouldn’t be any
sickness in your physical body because your body is now a part of the body of
Christ.
Like any other blessing, this is not going to happen automatically but by faith. It’s
those Christians who have been taught this mystery, have had their minds renewed
and live in the consciousness of this important truth. Many Christians die from
sickness because their minds are not completely renewed to this vital truth. Hence,
they don’t resist sickness in the faith. They rather accept it to be a normal part of
their life.
A thousand times “NO”. Don’t you understand that Christ is now your life?
In Christianity, you enjoying your “God-given blessings” in Christ is up to you
and not God. This is what many have not been made to understand. Its up to you.
First and foremost, you have to be brought into that knowledge following which
you ought to stand in that knowledge no matter what you see or hear.
Like the Master said, the violent taketh it by force. You ought to be a soldier.
Crying wont change anything. The quality of life you will live as a Christian is
based on the Knowledge you have. In Isaiah’s prophetic utterance concerning the
Church, it reads
“And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of
salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.... Isaiah 33:6KJV”
The strength of your salvation is based on the knowledge you have. Whether you
will be saved from sickness, dangers and problems, it is based on your knowledge in
the mystery of Christ.
Paul had the right knowledge. He knew that he had eternal life and hence
shouldn’t be hurt by any deadly thing. This should be your consciousness as a
Christian. This is how you put on Christ. As long as you are in fear and believe
that deadly things can harm you, you still have the old man on but you are told to
put off the old man and put on Christ.
“I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to
overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you....Luke 10:19
NIV”
