MOST PEOPLE THINK HEALING IS NOT REAL BECAUSE IT IS FREE. 

JESUS PAID A GRUESOME PRICE FOR YOUR HEALING. THE RECEIPT IS THE BLOOD.

THAT YOU ARE LIVING IN A HOUSE YOU DIDN’T PAY FOR DOES NOT MEAN SOMEBODY DIDN’T PAY FOR IT. 

YOU DON’T PAY FOR ANY GOODS TWICE, JESUS ALREADY PAID FOR YOUR HEALING AND HE WANTS YOU TO RECEIVE IT BY FAITH. 

JESUS HAS THE ANSWER TO ALL HUMAN HEALTH QUESTIONS

AT THE FIRST SHILOH IN 1999, A WOMAN WHO WAS CRIPPLED FROM BIRTH STOOD UP AND STARTED WALKING WITHOUT ANYBODY PRAYING FOR HER.

YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO BE AT THE BEAUTIFUL GATE WITH AN UGLY LIFE. 

THE CHURCH OF CHRIST IS A BEAUTIFUL GATE.

FAITH IS OF THE HEART, FAITH IS NOT IN THE MOUTH. 

IT IS WHEN YOU HAVE FAITH IN YOUR HEART, WHAT YOU SAY ANSWERS.

–       Bishop David Oyedepo on ‘IS THERE NO BALM IN GILEAD’ at Third Pre-Shiloh Encounter Service: Christ The Great Physician is Here  || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland|| First Sunday Service || 

Jesus, your Saviour and my Saviour is the final bus stop on all health matters. He is the ultimate. Matthew 11:28-29. Church Gist. Everyone here with us in this service today and those online around the world, God will give you the rest you have been looking for in your health.

–       The days of pains and aches and torment and torture shall come to an end today.

“I will give you rest”. He never referred a case anywhere else. He is the ultimate. He is the only one who speaks to the dead and the dead hear. He is the only one, no one else. He has the answer to all human health questions. Jesus does! So welcome to the healing rivers. Today, God will cleanse every one of every hidden sickness you cannot express to anyone else. Church Gist. The leprosy of Naaman was only known to members of his household. The day the king heard was the day he thought there was a need to call the king of Israel and harass him. The maid knew because she was in the house. There are secret sicknesses you can’t tell anybody else. Welcome to Jordan River. Every leprosy shall be washed off anyone’s health today. With your faith in place, everyone is returning from this service with perfect wholeness. One of His great prescriptions is the communion table. Today, your health question is settled.

Jesus, the Great Physician, the Master Healer, the Great Deliverer, we are here in your presence, all eyes are on you. Do today what only you can do. Thank you, Father. Church Gist. Let no one return from this service with any trace of sickness, ailment or disease. Confirm your Word today in Jesus’ precious name.

Jesus Christ, the Great Physician is here. Matthew 18:18-20. We have come to Church, the Bible calls the Church ‘Zion, the city of the living God…’ (Hebrews 12:22-23). He resides here! Zephaniah 3:17. He is in our midst. Today is your day of joy and rejoicing. God is turning everyone’s mourning into dancing. God is overturning the sorrow of your heart into joy. Church Gist. The Great Physician is here. He is right here in our midst. It is a settled account. Today, you are returning with your healing and wholeness. The winning side is the clapping side because you are going home with your healing today.

‘IS THERE NO BALM IN GILEAD?’ I am speaking on that in this service and I want your faith, your heart to be set because in the course of this message, healing virtue will start flowing. Jesus was teaching and the power of God was present to heal them and it did. Luke 5:17. Jeremiah 8:19-22. “If I were in Canada, this wouldn’t happen to me. If I were in Japan, I would be free. If I were in Malaysia, malaria wouldn’t work there”. Church Gist. They provoked Him to anger. The slightest thing is looking for man’s help instead of the already settled help from heaven. There is nothing wrong, don’t get me wrong about medical sciences. Because this thing is free, people think it is not real. Was Lazarus real? He was eating with them on the table. He rose from the dead and took on humanity again. Everything stinking and rotting about your health there shall be a massive reversal in this service. Church Gist. Because it is free, people think it is not real. In the South West here where I come from, they say any charm you don’t spend money on, you forget but the one you pay for, you will always remember. If you pay through your nose, even if it is charcoal that you paid for through your nose, if you are going to catch an international flight and you remember, you will cancel the flight because that charcoal will be the one to protect you while you are going and you paid for it through your nose. But if they dash you, “there is nothing there”.

Jesus paid a gruesome price. That you are living in a house you didn’t pay for does not mean somebody didn’t pay for it. Many of you have housed many people by paying their rent, some have given out houses. Someone paid for it. It is not free. Somebody paid the price. Jesus paid the price, He received 39 wicked Roman lashes with thorns of iron. They throw it on your body and pull it, flesh comes out. He got it 39 times. Church Gist. The chastisement for our body to be at peace was laid upon him and by those wicked stripes, you are healed. Somebody paid for it. You don’t pay for any goods twice, Jesus already paid for it. He will prove that He paid for it today because you are leaving here free forever.

–       Every negative medical verdict shall be overturned.

Jeremiah 8:20-22. “Well, even Papa has prayed for me” Papa is not the balm in Gilead, he is not the physician there. He is an errand man there to say here is what God says, do you believe it? I saw a miracle in the year 2000 in Abuja. Somebody died, a little child died in the children’s department (at the hospital). The mother rushed him to the church premises after the child had been confirmed dead and they removed all the gadgets from his body. Church Gist. She heard I was going to pass through that place that night, I got to the platform and asked “Is there no balm in Gilead?” the child jerked back to life after about 12 hours. I had no idea, no one told me anything. I just declared the Word and the Great Physician showed up. He is showing up for someone this morning. Jesus, that Great Physician is appearing to you today.

We were praising God in Kaduna in those days and someone had an industrial accident, he was working for NEPA (National Electrical Power Authority), he fell from an electric pole and had a withered hand. In the course of the praise, he showed up! An invisible hand took that hand and stretched it forth, it was fully restored. He is in the midst of His people, He never lies. A woman had a domestic accident, so she had fire burns all over. Church Gist. She couldn’t stand up to praise God and then the Physician showed up, “Rise up and embrace me”. All the effects of the burn cleared up. Somebody is getting out of here today with the touch of the Great Physician, not the touch of Papa, the Great Physician who paid the price. Here is the receipt, the receipt is the blood.

That is where IS THERE NO BALM IN GILEAD comes from. He has an answer to everything. Jesus is the Great Physician prophesied in Jeremiah 8:22. Matthew 9:13-15, 4:23. Church Gist. As the Word is going forth, expect a supernatural touch on your life that will clear every rubbish that they may have planted in every aspect of your body. Expect that now and you will have it.

Today, Christ heals in three major ways.

–   Jesus heals by the Word.

Matthew 8:16-17. Price fully paid! Liberty unquestionable. Freedom irresistible! Therefore, I challenge everything resisting anyone’s liberty today, cursed are thou. Church Gist. Loose him or her and let him or her go. Every arrow of sickness and disease disturbing everyone’s life returns to sender. Jesus still heals by His Word today.

–   He heals by His power.

Acts 10:38. Luke 4:18. He began to set people free by the anointing upon Him. They call that the Holy Spirit without measure. Church Gist. It can catch anything, it can deliver any task. That is how God gave it to Him.

–   He gave us His name to heal the sick and set free the captives.

Peter said, “Such as I have, I give unto you.” It is the gift of God to every believer. We have His name to deal with sickness and diseases, to deal with every attack of the devil. Song of Solomon 1:3. Every time we say “in the name of Jesus,” by faith. The anointing upon Christ goes forth to deal with the issue of concern. In the name of Jesus, the intestines will hear, the heart will obey, the ears will obey, the eyes will obey, ovarian cyst will hear, cancer will hear. At the mention of His name every knee shall bow, it is a decree. Philippians 2:10. There is something about that name, it is not a religious accolade. It is not a conjunction in prayer. Church Gist. He gave that name to exercise dominion over the devil and his activities. In the name of Jesus, coming out of a faith filled heart, heavens will rise at attention to enforce the dominion of that name over any given situation.  You have His name, in case you are besieged and can’t capture any scripture, capture the name.  You are drowning, let what the enemy meant to be your last breath become the beginning of life. In the name of Jesus! He shows up! Awesome God!

Come and learn of me, you will find rest for your souls. People are having fun with real battles. Acts 3:16. That name has the capacity to restore perfect soundness. There is so much virtue in that name that has the capacity to restore perfect soundness. Church Gist. In the name of Jesus, this incessant pain, this incessant ache, this uproar in my chest, in the name of Jesus bow now! This discomfort is over today. In the name of Jesus, this threat to my life is over today. Faith is of the heart, faith is not in the mouth. It has its roots in your heart. When you have faith in your heart, what you say answers.

You are not permitted to be at The Beautiful Gate with an ugly life. The Church of Christ is a beautiful gate. That crippled man was at the beautiful gate living an ugly life. Church Gist. Jesus came and through faith in His name, he enjoyed restoration of perfect soundness. That is you! Your sleep tonight shall be the sweetest of your life and there shall be no reversal.

Mark 16:17. He gave us His name to cast out devils. Deadly poison shall not affect you by His name. No matter what they force into your mouth when you are sleeping, in My name. Church Gist. Therefore, I decree that every poison tormenting anyone through any means that they came in be neutralized in Jesus name.

What is in the Word that heals? Power and Authority. Luke 4:36. Luke 9:1. Power and authority is what the Word carries to deal with every issue that may confront us. However, it takes faith to receive our healing from Christ. Church Gist. The faith question must be answered before the healing virtue can flow. It is not the cry, it is the faith. They told Jarius not to disturb the Master “Your daughter is dead!”. Jesus said “Do not be afraid, believe only.” And she came back to life. Mark 5:28-34. Faith looks so simple yet so powerful. Believe only.

Why come to Church for your healing? The Church of Christ is a kind of the Pool of Bethesda where anyone who first steps in is made whole of whatever disease. John 5:1-6. Church Gist. As I am stirring the Word of God today by the Spirit of God, as you step into it you are made whole of every disease. God’s Word is likened unto water and the stirring of that water by the Spirit of God that shows you what belongs to you and you dive into it believing you are made whole of any kind of disease.

Secondly, the Church is also a kind of the Pool of Siloam where age-long plagues are averted. That man was born blind and Jesus said go to the pool called Siloam and wash. He went and washed and came back seeing. Church Gist. John 9:7. He came back seeing. So every hereditary disease, every long-standing plague that won’t let you go, today is declared your day of escape.

The Church can also be likened to Jordan River where all forms of leprosy are cleansed. 2 Kings 5:1-8, 9-14. There are sicknesses and diseases you can’t tell anybody else but they are there. The leprosy of Naaman was covered under his uniform but they were there. Church Gist. In the precious name of Jesus, every hidden plague under anyone’s clothing is cleansed today. This man’s flesh was restored like that of a little child. Leprosy wiped off, rejuvenation took place. They have said you will live with that thing for life, but today it is over.

We saw here in 1999, at the first Shiloh, a woman who was crippled from birth, sat down at the Honour Entrance and without anybody praying for her, she stood up. When she turned 60 in 2016, she came here still on her feet and unaided. She climbed the altar and testified looking gorgeous. Jesus is in this house.  You are walking free today. A family was ravaged with tuberculosis at its terminal end. A wife, husband and two of their sons. They had towels by their side with which they cough blood night and day. Church Gist. A concerned Winner brought them in and as they sat down together not to create a scene with incessant cough. The husband looked at the wife after a while and said “Wait, a minute this cough fears God. For 30 minutes nobody has coughed.” That was the end of it, all of the four made whole in one sweep. You are inside the River of the Word. This leprosy must be cleared. This hidden sickness must give way. You are walking free today.

A young man came down from Germany because he had this very strange intestinal problem. They couldn’t help in Germany where he lived. He came down here and the mother brought him here. As he got to Hope Entrance, he had not entered. Church Gist. He started shouting that he wanted to use the restroom. He went to the restroom and purged out all the devils. He said he was not going back again. He was brought back to die at home. Jesus gave him a new life. Service had not started, he hadn’t heard the Word. You are inside the River, enough is enough.

The Great Physician has his great prescriptions and one of such great prescriptions is the Holy Communion. It is so simple yet so powerful if you can see what is in it. That young man who shared his testimony from Japan. See what he looked like before Jesus stepped in with his great prescriptions and set him free. He was reduced to a skeleton but Jesus stepped in and recovered that life. Church Gist. Someone’s recovery is today. How will you believe in your life that the mystery of the communion, he called it ‘intercontinental missile’, gave that man a second chance to live. It is not a church doctrine, it is a mystery of the kingdom that confers mastery over the lives of God’s people. That picture is gruesome. How can Bread and Fanta turn somebody’s life from that to this. It is not a show, it is not having a snack, it is a mystery. If you don’t eat my flesh and drink my blood, you have no life in you. It is a fountain of life.

One of us here was in India for bone marrow cancer. They were getting ready for a bone marrow transplant and on a Sunday morning like this, they hooked on to this service. They took Fanta and biscuits for the communion on Sunday, by Tuesday they couldn’t trace the cancer anymore. They came back and testified. Church Gist. Again, after one year they came back to say I am the one Jesus healed of bone marrow cancer away in India, I am still alive. These great prescriptions will do something strange in your life. These great prescriptions will humiliate everything trying to humiliate your life. It will terminate everything trying to terminate your life.

Understanding how God heals and restores the health of believers through the mystery of the communion. The communion table is a kingdom mystery for strength, health and wholeness. Some took it unworthily, casually thinking nothing was in it. Some were weak and sickly and some died. They couldn’t see the life in it. 1 Corinthians 11:30. They couldn’t relate with the life it offers. ‘I don’t like to be deceived. You know I schooled in America. I left America and I went to Japan, I left Japan and I went to China. Church Gist. I have schooled around the world, you can’t be telling me there is something on this table.” Okay! John 6:48-58. He was unveiling a mystery which we now call the Holy Communion. Whatever you may have lost in terms of life and vitality, by this communion today, they are restored to you. John 6:53-54. That is the ultimate intake as far as life and buoyant health are concerned. Meat indeed and flesh indeed. Ultimate intake for health, vitality and longevity. We belong to the same order of health and vitality that Christ possessed through the mystery of the Communion among others.

The Holy Communion imparts on our life spirit, soul and body. John 20:21. They will start seeing Jesus in your life and my life in a new and living way. From scriptures, we understand that the communion is made up of both the flesh and the blood of Jesus, that is the bread and the drink. Matthew 26:28-29. As they were eating, Jesus took the bread from the table and broke it, not that they went to the bakery for a special one and said this is my flesh. Church Gist. He took from the wine that they were drinking and said this is my blood. It is so simple. Not “I bought this one from Israel. I bought this one from Japan. I bought it right there in Nazareth.” It doesn’t matter. They took Fanta and biscuit in India – “my flesh and my blood” and bone marrow cancer fled. How much more headache? Think of stomach ache, think of neck ache.  Think of those minor things. We are talking of cancer that kills, that is hidden inside the bone. The bread went there. The Fanta went there and flushed that devil out. No matter where that devil is hiding, as you partake of the communion, it shall be flushed out.

What is in the flesh? We had this episode in Exodus 7:10-12. Jesus is the rod that came out of the stem of Jesse. Isaiah 11:1. See the rod in the bread, see the rod being swallowed up as you partake of it. See the rod going inside your body and begin to swallow up all the rods of magicians that are tormenting your body. The rod of God is in the bread. It will go to your eyes and clear off the things blocking your eyes, it will go to your ears and clear off the things blocking your ears, it will go to your system and clear off the things blocking your conception. Church Gist. If it can penetrate the bone marrow, it will penetrate every part of your system. They became rodless in the first round. They lost their rod and the rod of Aaron which is the rod of God was the same size. Not that it was big and Moses was now carrying it. They are vanities. Complete vanity! Believe in the rod mystery of the bread. All those moving objects, you won’t see them again. It goes to swallow them and they will be lost.

When you buy medications, there are contents there that are listed and a layman like me may not know what it is but a medical scientist will look at it and say “This one is not good for you”. I am telling you what is in the Holy Communion, no doctor knows it. There is a rod inside it. It is not 0.3, it is a wholesome rod. 100 per cent. Church Gist. Take it with faith and everything upsetting your body will be swallowed up in victory. Death is swallowed up in victory. It is a rod that swallows up the rod of torment and torture in your body. That is the mystery of the rod in the bread. You are free. As you partake of the bread, see you taking in the rod and then you are free.

Also, we saw an episode in 2 Kings 4:39-41, some sons of the prophets went to gather some vegetables and they gathered some poisonous ones without knowing. When they finished cooking, they poured it out and shouted “Alas Master, there is death in the pot”. Elisha said bring me a meal, bring your leftover bread. He cast it into the pot and there was no more death. See the bread as a poison neutralizer. Church Gist. As you swallow this bread, every trace of poison affecting any part of your life shall be neutralized. Hormonal imbalance shall be neutralized. Excess blood sugar shall be neutralized, high blood pressure shall be no more because you are swallowing the poison neutralizer of heaven and you are walking free in the name of Jesus. 

What is in the blood? The dominion nature of Christ that is immune to sickness and disease is in His blood. They do blood work to determine where your trouble is coming from. Through the communion, we become partakers of the blood of Jesus that is immune to sickness and diseases. Church Gist. Therefore, in the name of Jesus Christ, as you partake of this blood, your immunity is re-established. Leviticus 17:11. As you partake of this communion table, your immunity to sickness and diseases for Christ shall be established.

Through the communion, we share the same bloodline with Christ. That empowers us to command dominion over all manner of sickness and diseases. I illustrated in one of those materials that it is like what the biologists call “the white blood corpuscles”. They are the soldiers of the body. They fight every strange thing that enters your body. If white connotes righteousness, Jesus possesses the whitest blood.  He knew no sin. Church Gist. So when you take that blood see yourself as taking the white blood corpuscles whose mission is to fight to finish every stranger in your body thereby establishing your dominion. In the precious name of Jesus, by this intake today, your dominion over sickness and disease shall be established.

Again, remember that healing from Christ will always require faith for delivery. Mark 6:6. Without your faith and my faith, the healing virtue cannot flow. I defined faith as a living force drawn from the living Word to produce living proofs. She touched the hem of his garment and Jesus said “Thy faith has drawn virtue from me which has made thee whole”. It takes faith to draw. Just like it takes a bucket with a rope to draw water from a well, it takes faith to draw. With your faith alive, you are free today. Mark 9:23. Faith is the most potent force in your universe because whatever God can do, faith can make happen. Mark 10:27. The greatest mortal that walked the earth didn’t come through sperm and egg. Jesus came through a virgin woman. So it doesn’t matter what the medical verdict of any expert is, your faith will sidetrack it, sideline it and deliver its results. Church Gist. How can an enviable personality come out of a man who was 99 years old when his wife became pregnant? No! Faith delivered Isaac and faith delivered a nation from Isaac. Whatever God can do, faith can make it happen. Luke 1:45. Anyone who cares to believe, today is your day. As you partake of this communion plus the Word of faith you have heard, today you are walking into your liberty for life. We shall begin to receive the most explosive healing testimonies from this service.

No matter the anointing upon an anointed minister, faith is a non-negotiable for receiving your healing. Christ the most anointed could not impart them because of their unbelief. Faith is of the heart. It is not the Word we know that heals, it is the Word we believe. Neither is it the Word we discover or preach that heals but the Word we believe. Church Gist. The faith question must be answered before anyone can access the healing virtue of Christ. Matthew 9:27-29. The faith question must be answered. Do you believe that Jesus is up to that issue in your life? He will clear it up today.

Not that I feel, I just know that the Great Physician with His great anointing and His great prescriptions is right in our midst. Whatever He can do, your faith will make it happen. Church Gist. Whatever Christ, the one that called Lazarus from the dead after four days can do, your faith will make it happen. It is your turn.

Faith comes by hearing and understanding the Word of God. It is your day.

If you ask the mother of a sick child when she wants her child to be healed she will say now. Why will God put your own till tomorrow? Church Gist. It is today. Today is your day of salvation. It is today. God is not asking you to come tomorrow.

–   Every womb called barren shall be opened.

–   Everyone in a sick bed in their home or a hospital, are set free today.

–   There shall be a commotion of testimonies this week.

–   Every hold of the wicked on anyone’s life shall be broken.

–   Every hand that won’t let you go will go down for you.

–   Everybody will testify this week.

Now that you are healed, in case you are a professor of nutritional science, if you don’t eat you can’t live. Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. We need a daily intake of the Word to stay strong, agile and healthy. No matter the anointing upon the anointed, if he does not feed on the Word, he will grow weaker and weaker and if not checked, he goes off. Give us today our daily bread. We need a daily intake of the Word. We need daily Word intake to maintain our healing, health and wholeness. We need to maintain a heart of joy and rejoicing to sustain our health in Christ. We need to stay off sin, it erodes health and vitality. We need to call for help whenever we need one. James 5:13. Church Gist. We need these safeguards. Otherwise, people will get healed today, tomorrow they start getting weak because the food that keeps you on your feet is not being taken. The Word is the food that sustains every offering of the Kingdom. Everybody needs daily bread.

Hatred and bitterness kill. Watch out against them. Bitterness troubles people. Hebrews 12:5. Grace to take responsibility to walk in love as a way of life, receive it right now.

–   The blessing of today shall not be eroded in your life.

–   Go in peace.

–   Your change of story is a must.

–   You are arriving at Shiloh in your new status. Your level has changed, no devil can reverse it.

–   Be blessed.

–   The blessing of this house rests upon your life.

–   Your days of struggles are finally over.

–   So shall it be.
