Psalm 105:37; Mark 7:24-30; Ephesians 1:3
Psalm 105:37
37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
Just like every covenant will always exclude some, the covenant of health excluded the non-Jews. This was demonstrated in the case of the Syrophenician woman when Jesus told her that healing, which is lower than health, is not for non-family members. This was because the Gentiles were not qualified to partake in the covenant of health.
However, the blood of Jesus has made us fellow partakers, and His broken body has broken every dividing wall between the Gentiles and the Jews (Eph. 2:14). This is physically demonstrated in the Communion. Despite this provision, ignorance of the covenant has kept a lot of people from this advantage, and this has led to a life of begging and dependence.
The quality and quantity of the provision (health) that you enjoy will depend largely on the active knowledge of the covenant that you possess. Failure to translate the legal provisions of the covenant into vital reality makes it non-evident in the life of believers. God wants His children to enjoy their lives in health and soundness, and the Communion table is one of the channels through which this can be accessed. Every time you come to the table of the Lord, always come with the understanding that your health is part of the package.
PRAYER: Thank You, Jesus, for the covenant of perfect soundness. I receive grace to walk in the reality of the provision of God for my health, in Jesus’ name. Amen!
