Divine Healing: Your Covenant Right in Christ!

September 13 Devotional Meditation 

By Dr Patrick Elijah Anyomi 

Key Text: 

"The Lord sustains him on his sickbed; in his illness you restore him to full health." (Psalm 41:3)

Devotional Meditation:

Beloved, hear the Word of the Lord this morning! This verse is not just a wish; it is a powerful declaration of covenant promise for us who walk with God as His children. It reveals the heart of our God as a Healer, a Sustainer, and a Restorer.

The sickbed is not your portion. Illness does not have the final say. The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but JESUS CAME that we might have life and life more abundantly (John 10:10)! This Psalm gives us a glorious picture of what that abundant life looks like—even in the midst of attack.
“The Lord sustains him…” Hallelujah! In your weakest moment, when your body is failing, the Lord Himself becomes your strength. His presence invades that room. His joy becomes your medicine (Proverbs 17:22). His Word becomes life to your bones. You are not alone! The Sustainer is with you, holding you up by His Spirit.

But He doesn’t stop at just holding you up! “…you restore him to full health.” The Hebrew word for restore here is “haphak” —it means to overturn, to transform, to change completely! This is not a slow recovery; this is a divine reversal! God is in the business of overturning sickness and establishing health. He sent His Word and healed them (Psalm 107:20). By the stripes of Jesus, you were healed (1 Peter 2:24)—it is a finished work!

This Psalm points directly to the ministry of Jesus! He is the One who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil (Acts 10:38). Sickness is an oppression, and Jesus is the Oppressor of the oppressor! He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). The same power that raised Christ from the dead is at work in you right now (Romans 8:11), bringing life to your mortal body!
Receive it! Believe it! The same God who commanded His angels now commands health to flood your body. He is restoring you to full health!

Time of Prayer:
Heavenly Father! We come before You with faith and thanksgiving! We praise You that You are Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals us! Thank You for the covenant promise of healing in Your Word.
Right now, in the mighty name of Jesus, we speak to every spirit of infirmity, every sickness, and every disease. We command it to leave! Be plucked up by the roots and cast into the sea! We declare that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, and we command every cell, every organ, every system to come into perfect alignment with the health and wholeness purchased by the stripes of Jesus!

Lord, let Your healing virtue flow right now! Let it course through every vein, bringing life and restoration. We receive a tangible manifestation of Your healing power! We declare that you are sustained by His grace and restored by His power! Thank you, Jesus, for the victory!

We proclaim it done, in the powerful, matchless name of Jesus Christ! Amen and Amen!
