Holistic Health, Peace and Prosperity

UV 4170/10000 Holistic Health, Peace and Prosperity Behold, ( in the restored Jerusalem) I will bring to 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 The world has discovered through the current pandemic that health is the true or real wealth that we should all seek. Of what avail is all the wealth in the world, if our health fails! Ultimately, nothing in this fallen world can redeem a fallen man. We are misplacing our hope and trust if we trust anything or anyone in this world. When we are restored in Christ back to the Creator, God, Jehovah, He promises to give us health and healing. Jehovah declared to the Israelites, “I am Your Healer.” Jesus healed all the people who came to Him for healing different afflictions. We do not hear of Jesus, Himself suffering from any ailment. He is One Physician who does not need to heal Himself. He healed the spirit, mind and body of people with a variety of afflictions. Today, we need mental health, emotional health, physical health, spiritual health. If health is our first requirement, an abundance of peace and truth is our second and third requirements. Jesus, being the Prince of Peace restores peace with God to all believers. He also restores peace within ourselves. He restores peace among ourselves, peace in our families, with our spouse, with our children, with our neighbours, with our colleagues. Peace in this uni-verse has three significant dimensions- prosperity, security and stability. Happiness from the biblical perspective consists of health, peace, prosperity, security and stability. Having been restored to health, peace, prosperity, stability by the Lord we have a role to play to maintain or sustain it. We need to be focused on the Lord and His word. Our minds should not be wavering in its desires and goals. We need to be anchored, rooted, established in the word. To such the Lord promises perfect peace. We should not think, speak or do anything that adversely affects such peace. We need to lean on the Lord, glean from His word in order to be clean. Then the Lord will bestow on us His shalom- which is a word that stands for holistic health, holistic peace, holistic success, holistic strength, holistic wealth, holistic security.
