The Health and Wealth of Nations

UV 3740/10000 The Health and Wealth of Nations Behold, (in the restored Jerusalem) I will bring it health and healing, and I will heal them; and I will reveal to them an abundance of peace ( prosperity, security, stability) and truth. Jeremiah 33 v 6 God is a God of restoration. In this uni-verse, He promises to give us health and healing. He will completely heal us as He is Jehovah Rapha. The revelations He gives us will lead us to Shalom. Jerusalem means “ the peace of the Jews” or the Shalom of the Jews. Through the revelations He gave the Jews, He brought Shalom to the Gentiles, the people of all other nations. Through the revelations, He gives us, the Gentiles, He will restore peace to the Jews. Hence, we are asked by the Psalmist to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, that the Jews be reconciled to God through faith in the shed blood of His Son, the Messiah Jesus. When they do, they will have an abundance of Shalom which is inclusive of prosperity, security and stability and truth. They shall know the Truth ( Jesus) and Jesus shall set them free from the shackles of religion, from meaningless human traditions that have replaced the inner power of faith and a personal relationship with God, Jehovah. This uni-verse is preceded by the word that came to Jeremiah, the prophet. The Lord made the earth to establish it as His footstool where all can come and worship. When we call to Him, He will show us amazing grace, great and awesome things which we do not know, comprehend or understand. He will give us insight into His plan to prosper us individually and collectively, to give us hope and a future in eternity. When we pray or call to Him in the name of Jesus, miracles are set in motion that will establish us, strengthen our faith, reveal the love and power of God in practical and real ways in our everyday lives. The health that the uni-verse promises is holistic, health of spirit, mind and body, health of relationships, health of nations. Covid has proven to us that the health of nations is more vital to the wealth of nations. Health is our primary wealth. Even when at times we lose our health or some aspect of it, the Lord steps in as our healer, our deliverer. The only thing required of us is to call out to Him in faith in His name and the name of His Son Jesus.
