THE QUICKEST WAY TO EXPERIENCE TRUE DELIVERANCE

Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi

2 Kings 5:10Mssg “Elisha sent out a servant to meet him with this message: "Go to the River Jordan and immerse yourself seven times. Your skin will be healed and you'll be as good as new."

      Victory comes with a price and Jesus Christ paid the price for every miracle we would ever need through His sacrifice on the cross. However, the process of receiving a miracle from God is where many have missed out on . God is not in the process of giving us the things we need for a prosperous life on earth but rather the scripture says He has already given us all that we need for life and godliness. However, there is a condition to receiving these provisions that we often overlook and miss out on our blessings.

       The scriptures says in 2 Peter 1:3  that God has already given us the marriage, business, children, healing, peace, promotion, finances etc  we seek for and they are received through the knowledge of Christ; meaning that through a personal intimate relationship with Christ we receive the requisite information needed to bring  miracles into physical manifestation.

          The process of receiving this information from Him is known as humility. If you deposit money in a bank and was issued an ATM card for withdrawal of the cash, you must humble yourself to receive the necessary information from the bank officer in order to operate the ATM machine using the ATM card or else you can’t make withdrawals .

         Every spiritual transaction has its unique test for humility. If God gives us our hearts desires without humility, they will end up being used for destructive purposes. Humility teaches that miracles are given to us to expand the kingdom of God on earth it also teaches that we don’t give God or His servants  instructions on how to solve our problems (Isaiah40:14). Preachers who allow themselves to be enticed by Greek gifts find it hard to enforce this rule. Elijah couldn’t  

        In 2 kings 5:1-10 Naaman, an accomplished, army General with leprosy was tested on humility in three ways, firstly, he was instructed by a maid to see God’s messenger; which was quite condescending for a man of his status (Verse 3), secondly, he was taught that he couldn’t  buy salvation and a healthy relationship with God (verse 16). God prefers humility to the offerings from men, He declares in Ps 51:17 AMP . “My sacrifice [the sacrifice acceptable] to God is a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart [broken down with sorrow for sin and humbly and thoroughly penitent], such, O God, You will not despise”.

              Very often we miss out on our breakthroughs because we seek to impress our peers instead of God (John 5:44); such a behavior hinders faith for the miraculous. God would often tell us to do something that wouldn’t impress our friends as a test of our loyalty to Him. He wants to know where your allegiance lies; Him or your friends. This was what informed Naaman’s third test which involved taking a bath in a river where animals often bathed and drank from (2kings5:10-12).

            The gravity of the test given to a person is determined by our level of pride which is an inhibitor to faith growth. In Matthew 15:21-27 Jesus tested a woman by likening her to a dog seeking to partake of food meant for the master’s children. The fact that she wasn’t offended her ability to understand that healing was by grace through faith which works with humility brought about the instant deliverance of her daughter from demonic oppression.

        God should always have the preeminence in our decision making processes and our allegiance should always be to Him regardless of the circumstance. This is the key to experiencing the power of God in our lives. As you receive Jesus Christ as your lord and saviour and read this now , receive uncommon faith for extraordinary breakthrough in Jesus name.
