Proverbs 4: 20-22 says the Word of God is Medicine and Life to those who find it.
This implies that you will never enjoy the medicinal, healing and life-giving power of God’s Word until you find it.
The solution for every health challenge is in the Word of God. But many of God’s children suffer from various kinds of health issues and die.
God’s People are Destroyed for the Lack of Knowledge.
When you see the situation of people facing various health challenges, you’ll wonder and ask “Does it mean that God doesn’t heal any more?”
Does it also mean that the healings experienced by people in the Bible ended with the apostles?
The answer is a capital NO. The problem with many of God’s children is that they don’t understand what the Gospel of Christ offers. So they suffer for what they already have in Christ.
There are lots of health challenges among Christians that have defied medical science that only God can heal but because they don’t understand, they die in ignorance.
Now, this brings to mind what the Bible says in Hosea 4:6
“My people are Destroyed for lack of knowledge.
The Word of God is Life and Health to Those Who Understand Their Meaning.
In Proverbs 4:20-22 the Bible says, ” My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.”
Have you ever come across this verse of the Bible and never pondered what this means for you?
If you do, you would have discovered the healing power of God’s word in your life.
To make this clearer and give us a better understanding, let’s see how the New Living Translation renders it.
“Pay attention, my child, to what I say. Listen carefully. Don’t lose sight of my words. Let them penetrate deep within your heart for they bring life and radiant health to anyone who discovers their meaning.” Proverbs 4:20-22.
Did you get that? This is very powerful! Many Christians don’t pay attention to the Word of God.
If you ask how many people read their Bibles daily, in a group of 100 christians. Youu’ll hardly find 30 that read their Bibles talk more.of studying their Bibles.
Majority of Christians all over the world play religion and follow the doctrines of men. Rather than seeking to know God personally, they follow human doctrines and dogmas that are completely out of Christ teachings.
In Proverbs 4:20-22, the message is clear; when we pay attention to the word of God and allow it sink into our hearts, we will understand its meaning and in turn receive Life and Health in our body.
How to Experience the Healing Power of the Word of God
Proverbs 4:20-22 clearly states that the Word of God is Life and medicine to the body but this is dependent on some factors namely:
1. How much attention you give to it,
2. How deepa you allow it to penetrate your heart
3. Your discovery of its meaning.
I want you to know that there is so much power in God’s word that Christians are yet to discover. If they do, their lives will change for the better.
And as you read this message, if you have any health challenge, don’t give up. Just follow every step I’ll be giving you in this post.
So now that we have outlined the factors by which you can get healed through the word. Let’s see how to effectively use them to our advantage to bring about healing and Divine Heath.
Believe and Trust God in Your Heart
Romans 10:9-10 clearly states how our believe and faith in God’s word works. It is with the heart, little wonder Proverbs says we should let it penetrate our heart.
However, it’s important to note that for the Word to penetrate your heart and enable you to understand or discover its meaning, you must depend on the Holy Ghost to help you.
As you believe the Word, the Holy Spirit gives you the deep meaning of what you read. You must be quiet before Him and meditate on what He reveals to you as you study.
How to Meditate on God’s Word for Healing
To meditate is to ponder, replay, virtualize, mutter under your voice and speak out the Word of God.
Meditation begins with pondering and virtualizing the meaning of the word.
For example, if you desire healing in any part of your body. What you need to do is look for a scripture verse that is in line with healing.
Open your Bible to that place and begin to ponder over it and visualise it.
There are lots of verses to use but I’ll just give you one. John 15;5
“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”
A tree has the same life with all the parts of the tree including the branches, the stems, the leaves and fruits.
Since Jesus is the vine tree and you are one of the branches it means you have the same life with Jesus who is the vine.
Firstly, you must realize your relationship with the vine. You are one with Him. So what you need to do is to first see yourself joined to the true vine. Vitualize it. Even if you have never seen a vine tree before. You have seen a mango or orange tree.
Begin to see the branches of any tree you have seen before. See yourself connected to that tree as the branch.
Believe in your heart that you have the same. life with the Vine, which is Christ. He is Life.
Remember, He said ” I am the way the truth and the life…..,’.
Because you have the same life with Him, and He is Life, no sickness can attach itself to you.
As long as Jesus is not sick, you too cannot accommodate sickness in your body because you have the same life with Him.
After believing this in your heart, begin to declare with your mouth what you have believed.
Do this as long as the Holy Spirit takes you. it can be 20, 30 mins or more but make sure you do this daily until your health comes back to normal..
Don’t stop meditating on the word when you see improvement in your health. Do this daily for your health and other areas of your life by using relevant scripture verses.
Also remember, what God said to Joshua in Joshua 1:8
“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”
Psalm 1:1-3 also sheds more life on this.
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree plantedby the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
God’s Word is all you need for a healthy lifestyle. So eat it, drink it sleep it and see your health improve.
I want to pray for you as I conclude this part of this message “Understanding the Healing Power of God’s Word”.

Father I curse every form of sickness, disease or infirmity in the life of your child reading this message. And I command it to die and pass out now in Jesus name…Amen!
