PSALMS 34:8 NKJV
"Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good;
Blessed is the man who trusts in Him."
When you don't have time for God. Why would He have time for you?
Anytime you're told to attend a prayer, or be actively involved in ministry, your list of excuses start reaching the sky. Even the sky is limited. Endless problems, dire situations, unavoidable circumstances has become a norm of the day. Who doesn't have problems tell me? Who doesn't have children issues, financial crisis, sickness or marital problems? But does that mean, that the Lord should be crucified again and again because of our predicament when already that issue has been addressed thousands of years ago.
Don't you know all our problems have already been fixed at the cross of Calvary and yet we are crying like a new born who doesn't know anything better.
People who don't know their God will always cry. They can never be satisfied. Do you know why you are sick ? Because the Lord wants you to know Him as your Healer ( _JEHOVAH RAPHA_ )You are monetarily weak because the Lord wants you to know Him as your provider _(JEHOVAH JIREH_ ).
You are disturbed right now because He wants you to experience Him as your peace ( _JEHOVAH SHALOM_ ).
Beloved, how can God make you realise that whatever He claims Himself to be, He is all that, unless you're in a particular situation and He can intervene to specifically let you know who and what exactly your God is. He's allowing that sickness to prevail in your body because He wants you to taste Him, to experience Him rather than the doctors. But there you're attending sessions after sessions with the doctor to no avail .
God invites you to come to a healing meeting but you put it off saying that you have an urgent meeting with the doctor.
Sorry to say, but one meeting with the Lord can heal you completely than having several endless meetings with the doctors. I am not saying doctors are bad, but God loves you too much to make you go round and round with no results.
Problems will always come beloved but with the Lord, victory is guaranteed. Solution is guaranteed. But when we remove the Lord from our lives, then defeat is also surely guaranteed.
Let's look at our lives today and see what situation we are exactly in ? Are we sick, tormented, weak, poor, single or double, whatever it is, just know that God wants you to experience Him that's why you're not getting the answer and solutions to your problems. He loves you too much to let you go, perhaps that's why the problem is persistent because He's speaking to you. But are you listening?
I myself have received healing from a chronic sickness of the respiratory system. My condition would worsen so much that it would become literally impossible for me to breathe. When i visited the doctor, he told me that I'll have to be operated since together with respiratory condition I also had allergic rhinitis. That day when I came back home I went to my prayer closet and literally wept bitterly before the Lord, asking all possible questions, even doubting Him that where did I go wrong or what sin i committed, you know those churlish behaviour that comes out at times and i didn't hear any voice of God at that moment. But i kept on declaring His word on my life and health mixed with consistency and it worked for me. Led by the Spirit , i went on a three days fasting and the first day, the moment i started praying in tongues, i threw up and felt like sleeping. As I woke up, the breathing problem had gone .Voila! So you see beloved God heals and i also didn't keep faith in my pocket, but God by His Grace allowed me to use it. I used my faith and today I'm completely healed with no doctoral or medicinal intervention. Yes God emerged as JEHOVAH RAPHA for me and healed me. So if I can be healed, then why can't you ? No doubt, it took some time but at least now i don't have to run around the hospitals and visit doctors. Because our God is the doctor of doctors.
Praise God!!!

Yet, the Lord also said in Sir 38:4-8
[4] The Lord hath created medicines out of the earth; and he that is wise will not abhor them.
[5] Was not the water made sweet with wood, that the virtue thereof might be known?
[6] And he hath given men skill, that he might be honoured in his marvellous works.
[7] With such doth he heal [men,] and taketh away their pains.
[8] Of such doth the apothecary make a confection; and of his works there is no end; and from him is peace over all the earth,
God Bless
