Down through the ages there have been many great men of God who have experienced healing and who have believed it to be God's will to heal the sick.
John Wesley, the found of Methodism, had tuberculosis at the age of 27; he had it for eleven years. When he was in the third stage of this dreadful disease God miraculously healed him over a period of three months. John Wesley was cer-tainly and permanently healed as this testimony of his life shows!
1. He traveled 250,000 miles on horseback, averaging 20 miles per day for 40 years.
2. He preached 40,000 sermons and produced hundreds of books: he knew ten lan¬guages.
3. At the age of 83 he was concerned that he could not write more than 15 hours a day without hurting his eyes and was ashamed he could not preach more than twice a day. He noted at this time in his journal that there was an increasing tendency to lie late in bed in the morning - until 5:30 a.m. (J. Boyd Nicholson).
What can we do as Christians to help produce a climate of faith, which will see God moving in healing and miracles?......

A smile costs nothing, but gives much.
It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give.
It takes a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.
None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it, and none is so poor, but that he can be made rich by it.
A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is the countersign of friendship.
It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and it is nature’s best antidote for trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone, until it is given away.
Some people are too tired to give you a smile;
Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.

Evangelization through cells
A few years ago, a well known charismatic Christian leader came to the city where I lived. During four nights of crusade, I witnessed over 14,000 people go forward to make public confessions for Christ. It was exciting to see the body come together for such a grand event. After talking with the pastors of the largest churches in town, not one received a single family as a result of the crusade. What happened to those who had walked the aisle to receive Christ as their Savior?.....

I ran into a stranger as he passed by,
"Oh excuse me please" was my reply.
He said, "Please excuse me too;
I wasn't watching for you."
We were very polite, this stranger and I.
We went on our way saying good-bye.
But at home a difference is told,
how we treat our loved ones, young and old.
Later that day, cooking the evening meal,
My son stood beside me very still.
As I turned, I nearly knocked him down.
"Move out of the way," I said with a frown.

Lagos — The announcement in March, of nine prominent academicians as pioneer Vice-Chancellors (VCs) for the newly created Federal universities put to rest insinuations on who would head the various universities.
Three out of the nine new VCs are from the Diasporas. The reasons for their appointment are obvious and considered well thought out, given the clime they are coming from and their pedigree as teachers in globally acclaimed universities.....

Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year-old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies neededto combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, “Yes, I’ll do it if it will save her.”
As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheeks. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, “Will I start to die right away?”.
Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.

WHILE a
deer was eating wild fruit, he heard an owl call "Haak, haak" (a
spear), and a cricket cry, "Wat" (surrounded), and, frightened, he
fled. In his flight he ran through the trees up into the mountains and into
streams. In one of the streams the deer stepped upon a small fish and crushed
it almost to death. Then the fish complained to the court, and the deer, owl,
cricket, and fish had a lawsuit. In the trial came out this evidence:
As the
deer fled, he ran into some dry grass, and the seed fell into the eye of a wild
chicken, and the pain of the seed in the eye of the chicken caused it to fly up
against a nest of red ants. Alarmed, the red ants flew out to do battle, and in
their haste, bit a mongoose. The mongoose ran into a vine of wild fruit and
shook several pieces of it on the head of a hermit who sat thinking under a
tree. "Why did you, O fruit, fall on my head?" cried the hermit. The
fruit answered: "We did not wish to fall; a mongoose ran against our vine
and threw us down." And the hermit asked, " O mongoose, why did you
throw the fruit?" The mongoose answered: "I did not wish to throw
down the fruit, but the red ants bit me, and I ran against the vine." The
hermit asked, " O ants, why did you bite the mongoose?" The red ants
replied: "The hen flew against our nest and angered us." The hermit
asked: " O hen, why did you fly against the red ants' nest?" And the
hen replied: "The seed fell into my eyes and hurt me." And the hermit
asked, " O seed, why did you fall into the hen's eyes?" And the seed
replied:
"The deer shook me down." The hermit said unto the deer,
"O deer, why did you shake down the seed?" The deer answered: "I
did not wish to do it, but the owl called, frightening me, and I ran."
"O owl," asked the hermit, "why did you frighten the deer?"
The owl replied: "I called, but as I am accustomed to call---the cricket,
too, called."
Having heard
the evidence, the judge said, "The cricket must replace the crushed parts
of the fish and make it well," as he, the cricket, had called and
frightened the deer. The cricket was smaller and weaker than the owl or the
deer, therefore had to bear the penalty.

The mother tried to use this occasion to teach her child: “It is because of you, dear. Every bad action of yours will turn one of my hairs grey!”
The child replied innocently: “Now I know why grandmother has only grey hairs on her head.”
