Open Heaven For Teens 1st August 2024 Daily Devotional Message By Pastor E.A Adeboye And Pastor (Mrs) Folu Adeboye
TOPIC: Jehovah Rapha
MEMORISER
Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.
Jeremiah 33:6
READ: 1 Peter 2:24
I used to be afflicted with malaria, and I depended so much on pharmaceutical drugs until I had an encounter with ‘Jehovah Rapha’. Jehovah Rapha means ‘The God who heals.’ Today, by the grace of God, I have been living in divine health for many years.
God wants you to live in good health so that you can serve Him wholeheartedly. Even if you fall sick, he wants to cure your entire being, including your heart, soul, body, mind, and spirit. However, you must note that while some persons receive instant healing, others receive their healing gradually.
It is true that God heals, and it is also true that He may choose not to heal a fellow. A person may sincerely pray and truly have faith that God can heal him or her. However, if it is not God’s will to provide the healing at that time, then no healing will occur (1 John 5:14).
Do you need healing for yourself, your relative, your classmate, or anyone else? God wants you to ask Him in faith. Some sicknesses are attacks from the devil, and they must be fought, while some are trials that lead to victory.
KEY POINT
By the stripes of Jesus, you were healed.

HYMN 56
NEARER, MY GOD TO THEE
1. Nearer, My God, To Thee,
Nearer To Thee;
E’en Though It Be A Cross
That Raiseth Me,
Still All My Song Shall Be,
Nearer, My God, To Thee,
Nearer, My God, To Thee,
Nearer To Thee!
2. Though Like The Wanderer,
The Sun Gone Down,
Darkness Be Over Me,
My Rest A Stone,
Yet In My Dreams I’d Be
Nearer, My God, To Thee,
Nearer, My God, To Thee,
Nearer To Thee!
3. There Let The Way Appear
Steps Unto Heaven;
All That Thou Send’st To Me
In Mercy Given;
Angels To Beckon Me
Nearer, My God, To Thee,
Nearer To Thee!
4. Then With My Waking Thoughts
Bright With Thy Praise,
Out Of My Stony Griefs
Bethel I’ll Raise;
So By My Woes To Be
Nearer, My God, To Thee,
Nearer To Thee!
5. Or If On Joyful Wing
Cleaving The Sky,
Sun, Moon, And Stars Forgot,
Upward I Fly,
Still All My Song Shall Be,
Nearer, My God, To Thee;
Nearer To Thee!
