Regardless of the cause of your ailment or bodily stress, never forget that the Lord is able to restore health to you and bring a cure where such is needed. Our opening text reminds us that He is concerned about your health and well-being. He wants you to experience wholeness, not only in your spiritual life, but also physically in your body.

As believers, there will always be things that our flesh desires but has the potential to pull us back into sin, and thus weaken our faith. But thanks be to God that there is no sin that we do not have dominion over, through the blood of the Lamb.

A new territory could mean a new place, job, opportunity to advance your career, new business or even an advancement in ministry. Sometimes, we assume that we have attained the highest possible points in our endeavours, until the Holy Spirit opens our eyes to see better strategies that can take us even further.

God has provided us with an extraordinary Senior Partner—the Holy Spirit, our Comforter. In John 14:16-17, the Lord Jesus promised the presence of the Holy Spirit, not as a distant observer but as a constant companion residing within us and actively working with us to do God’s will and win in this life.

The reason some believers live in confusion and depression is because they have lost the compass for life’s journey. God never intended for us to navigate life without His Word, because His Word is a lamp to our feet and light unto our path.

God is faithful to His promises. Just as the Lord assured the Israelites of increase and blessings, He has specific promises for you—promises of abundance, favour, and fulfillment. But these promises will not always land in your lap, you have a responsibility to take hold of them.

To reset your mind is to intentionally align your thoughts with God’s truth. It involves letting go of negative thought patterns, worldly influences, and circumstances to hold on to God’s stand instead.

God’s desire is for you to experience abundance and growth in every area of your life, and it is wisdom to prepare for that growth or expansion. Just as we see in our opening text, it is your diligent response to God’s Word, as you position yourself for the fulfillment of His promises.

In our walk with God, it is important to press on reaching our next level. The Apostle Paul, in our opening text today, speaks of how he presses towards the mark, implying a deliberate and persistent effort to take the next step at all cost in order to fulfill purpose.
