Those in Zion shall never say '' I am sick.'' Isaiah 33:24 It is God's will that you live a life free from sickness. God wants you well. He desires that you live free from any infirmity or devil of darkness. Your success is dependent upon living a life free from sickness. If you have money and do not have a life free from sickness, then your life is a total failure because at anytime you may go to the journey of no return. What separates Christianity from religion is that we Christians do not get sick, eventhough many do get sick out of ignorance. Religious people do get sick, but Christians do not get sick. When you got born again you became an heir. In that inheritance is Divine Health and Prosperity. It is up to every Christian to appropriate this inheritance. In Eph 1:11 the great Apostle Paul says, we have obtained an inheritance. Christ Jesus did not die intestate, but he left a will in His estate. Faith is an appropriation of that estate. Most of the time, you find yourself trying to get enough faith trying to get God to do something for you, why? Because you do not know that all things you are asking God for, He has already given them to you. You are acting like a disinherited child who has been left out of a father's will. You look around and see you are sick, you look around and see you are broke, everyone around you gets sick because there is an outbreak, you are in a hospital bed lying down there hopeless! What is wrong? Can't God see that you are sick? Why can't God just heal you? You have prayed, you have cried, you have begged, you do not know what to do anymore! Hear this, the most dangerous thing about God is that, if you do not have knowledge about something that concerns any area of your life, God will not condescend to your level and think and operate at your level! He will not think like you! If you are a constantly sick person God will not descend to your level of thinking and think like you and think of healing you in your sickness, no! He will not do that. If you choose to be a disinherited child He will not act like a disinherited parent to you. He is Himself waiting for you to appropriate that which He has done in Jesus Christ which is eternal life. Eternal life has no sickness in it. Its a buffet, you choose whether you want to be sick or not. The very first thing you ought to do is to renew your mind, be cultured in the word Rom12:2 And be not confirmed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable, and perfect will of God. Renew your mind by culturing yourself in the Word. The word of God is a mirror in your life. When the word says i am free from sickness, i look at it and know i am free from sickness and disease. The Prophet Isaiah when he searched and saw it in the Spirit he saw us in his time, he saw us in Zion, and said, those in Zion shall never say ' I am sick!' Isaiah33:24. How can this great prophet of God who saw the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ many years before He was born, have the audacity to tell us that we shall never say we are sick! Its either he is lying to us or that he is telling us the real truth. When you got born again, you were born into the City of God, Zion. In this City called Zion, sickness has no place in it, unless out of your ignorance you allow it to invade your territory. Like St John wrote to you in his Epistles saying, little children I write this things unto you THAT YOU MAY KNOW THAT YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, MEANING TO BE AWARE THAT YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, so write I to you these things, that you may know that you have eternal life free from sickness and disease and know how to defeat sickness when it attacks you

We’re all waiting for something. It might be a spouse or a baby. It might be healing or a home. Regardless of what we're waiting for, it’s easy to feel discontent when things aren’t going as planned and our dreams are delayed—especially when questions of “Why?” and “How long?” remain unanswered. God uses seasons of waiting to teach us patience and make us more like himself. But sanctification is not the only purpose God has in mind. When we wait faithfully with unmet longings, we become a powerful picture of the bride of Christ waiting for the day when he returns and God’s kingdom reigns.

In Sharing the Burden of Sickness, Jonathan Roberts examines the history of the healing cultures in Accra, Ghana. When people are sick in Accra, they can pursue a variety of therapeutic options. West African traditional healers, spiritual healers from the Islamic and Christian traditions, Western clinical medicine, and an open marketplace of over-the-counter medicine provide ample means to promote healing and preventing sickness. Each of these healing cultures had a historical point of arrival in the city of Accra, and Roberts tells the story of how they intertwined and how patients and healers worked together in their struggle against disease. By focusing on the medical history of one place, Roberts details how urban development, colonization, decolonization, and independence brought new populations to the city, where they shared their ideas about sickness and health. Sharing the Burden of Sickness explores medical history during important periods in Accra's history. Roberts not only introduces readers to a wide range of ideas about health but also charts a course for a thoroughly pluralistic culture of healing in the future, especially with the spread of new epidemics of HIV/AIDS and ebola.

Evolution of Sickness and Healing is a theoretical work on the grand scale, an original synthesis of many disciplines in social studies of medicine. Looking at human sickness and healing through the lens of evolutionary theory, Horacio Fàbrega, Jr. presents not only the vulnerability to disease and injury but also the need to show and communicate sickness and to seek and provide healing as innate biological traits grounded in evolution. This linking of sickness and healing, as inseparable facets of a unique human adaptation developed during the evolution of the hominid line, offers a new vantage point from which to examine the institution of medicine. To show how this complex, integrated adaptation for sickness and healing lies at the root of medicine, and how it is expressed culturally in relation to the changing historical contingencies of human societies, Fàbrega traces the characteristics of sickness and healing through the early and later stages of social evolution. Besides offering a new conceptual structure and a methodology for analyzing medicine in evolutionary terms, he shows the relevance of this approach and its implications for the social sciences and for medical policy. Health scientists and medical practitioners, along with medical historians, economists, anthropologists, and sociologists, now have the opportunity to consider every essential aspect of medicine within an integrated framework.
