The online KPPI (Praise and Divine Healing Service) was held again on Thursday, August 13, 2020 through live-streaming program on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram. The Word of God was delivered by Rev. Jacob B. Sumbayak, taken from Matthew 6: 25-34 about worrying.
Don’t Worry, Father in Heaven Really Cares about You
Jesus said that worrying will not add even one cubit to our life. Why? Because a person who worries and keep on worrying will actually increase his worry and ultimately make him even more worried.
Jesus taught us not to worry, but to believe in God. God is like a Father to us. Let us imagine about the figure of a father in our life. A father will definitely cares for us and will not ask us to pay as he is taking care of us. If we are sick, he will definitely look after and take care of us. Therefore, we don’t need to worry.
If the fathers on this earth are very kind to their children, how much more is our Father in heaven will take care of us. Our Father’s goodness in heaven is far greater than our father on this earth. Despite the fact that there must be one or two of unkind fathers in this world.
Jesus said that even God cares for the birds in the air and feeds them, even though they do not sow nor reap. Also the lily in the field that is here today and is thrown into the fire tomorrow. God clothes this lily so beautifully that it is even more beautiful than the clothes of Solomon who was a very rich king in his day. Therefore, if for just one flower God really cares and dresses in such a way, how much more will the Father in heaven care about us.
The Word of God in Luke 12: 7 says, “But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.(NKJV)”
Matthew 6:32 says: “For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.”(NKJV)
Therefore, don’t worry. We must believe in our Father in heaven. Jesus taught us that God is like a Father and we are His children. So, when we go to heaven someday, we are not strangers, but we are the children of God.
Trust in Jesus and You Will Come to the Father
Will you believe in the Father? If you want to believe in the Father, then believe in Jesus because no one can come to the Father except through Jesus (John 14: 6). Therefore, we must believe in Jesus. The Word of God in John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (NKJV).
If we want to go to the Father’s house in heaven, we must believe in Jesus. Jesus Christ was sent by the Father to come into the world, to love all of us. Jesus died and suffered on the cross to redeem us from sins that we cannot pay for. If we believe in Jesus, then we are God’s children.
Whoever we are, big, small, old, young, if we believe in Jesus, we will be saved. Therefore, let us believe in Jesus and accept Him as Lord and Savior in our lives. What joy it will be if we are saved by God. For those of you who have accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior, welcome to the Kingdom of God. You have God whom we call as Father and we are His children. All our needs will be added by our Father as long as we seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness (Matthew 6:33).
By His Stripes We are Healed
Do not seek his blessings first, but seek Him, then everything will be added to you. If you are sick at this moment, believe in God and seek Him, then He will give His miracles for us. Whatever our illnesses, be it Covid-19, or other illnesses, believe in Jesus, then in the name of Jesus, we will be healed.
Isaiah 53:5 says: “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.”(NKJV).
Jesus experienced all the torments, pain, and suffering on the cross to atone for our sins. Hundreds of lashes struck His body, one whip was made up of 6 ropes with sharp metal tips that tore His flesh and of Jesus’ body really had stripes. It was by His stripes that we are healed. Trust in Him and you will receive healing miracles. If He healed the sick and raised the dead in the past, then today He is also able to heal our sicknesses. [YF/EM]
