“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us” (Ephesians 3:20).
T
he responsibility for your life isn’t so much with God as it is with you. Some people blame God for every unfortunate event in their lives and in the world, and that’s because they don’t know Him. Indeed, He’s God, and He’s all-powerful; with Him all things are possible. However, the power to change things—His power to produce the miracle you desire or require—is already inside you! It’s your responsibility to activate it. Our theme verse says, “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” Whatever God will do in your life is to the extent of the operation of His power in you. So you see, you really can’t, and shouldn’t, hold God responsible for all the happenings in your life, neither is He the one ‘delaying’ the fulilment of His Word in your life; you’re the one to activate the power in you. Psalm 119:130 says that the entrance of God’s Word gives light. It’s not enough to have the Word in the pages of the Bible or in some audio or video message; the Word has to get into your spirit, which is the receptacle system for the Word. The Word of God, through the agency of the Holy Spirit, infuses your mentality with divine ability. Meditating on the Word puts us at a completely diferent level from the rest of the world. You can become a better student, engineer, or businessman, if you’d spend more time meditating on the Word. 02 | The Healing School Magazine
It makes no diference what you need; be it healing, increased inances, a new job, a child, growth or expansion in ministry, business or in your career, success in your academics, etc., the power to make it happen is inside you. The Lord Jesus said in Acts 1:8, “Ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…” That power is the dynamic ability to efect changes, and another way to activate it is speaking in other tongues. 1 Corinthians 14:4 says, “He that speaketh in an unknown tongue ediieth himself…” That means the one who speaks in other tongues energises or activates himself in the supernatural; he stirs up divine power from within. In 2 Timothy 1:6, Paul told Timothy to stir up the gift of God in him. He was referring to the power of the Holy Spirit, which can be dormant unless activated. Sadly, some Christians have allowed that power lie dormant in them. Don’t let that happen to you; pray in tongues often and stir up that power; put it to work. The power of God is also activated when you airm His Word with boldness. God and His Word are one. When you declare the Word concerning any situation, you’re invoking His power to bring about a change in that situation. If you want to see the release of the power of God in your life, maintain the habit of meditating on the Word; contemplate on and voice the Word.

hat car is coming straight at us!” Those were the last words I heard before my life came crashing down around me. My name is Emmanuel Dladla. I’m 40 years old, and I come from Kwa Zulu Natal (KZN) in South Africa. I came to the Healing School because I was paralyzed from the waist down and I had injuries in my spine. This is my testimony: that God’s Word activated faith in me and changed my life at the Healing School. My story began on Saturday, the 3rd of December in 2011; my brother and I had attended a wedding in KZN and were on our way back to Johannesburg. While driving, I heard my brother shout that a car was coming at us, and that was the last thing I remembered. I woke up about a week later and realized that I was in a hospital. That was when I learnt that we had been involved in a car accident. It was a head-on collision, and I sustained multiple injuries including wounds in my stomach and a T12/L1 spinal dislocation. When I asked how soon I would be able to go home, the doctors explained that the dislocation had afected my spinal cord and they would need to operate on my spine. I tried to move for the irst time and noticed that I could not, I was paralyzed from the waist down. I couldn’t feel any sensations in my legs, even if you hit me hard. Already, there was a huge scar on my stomach from an emergency operation that had been done while I was in a coma. However, I noticed that there were luids coming out of my body from a hole in my side; I had developed what I later found out was called an enterocutaneous istula. That condition afected my life a lot. I couldn’t go anywhere, I had constant diarrhea. I lost so much weight. I couldn’t lift heavy things. There was always discomfort and severe pain, even trying to move my wheelchair caused pain in my back. When I slept, there was pain; I could only sleep in one position and they had to roll me if I wanted to change position. They gave me a corset that I was supposed to wear for 2 years to support me when I moved. People had to support me for whatever I needed; they had to bathe me and help me in the toilet. I loved football, but I could no longer play. I lost my job. The situation even afected my kid; when he looked at me I could see that he was pained that his father had these problems. It was so emotional.
I wanted to go home but couldn’t. The doctors said to me, “You have to remain like this, on bed rest.” So they transferred me to another hospital, where I remained 04 | The Healing School Magazine
for 3 months. During ward rounds, the doctors would skip my bed without saying anything or even looking at me. It was hurtful to be treated like that. Every day, the nurses wrote the same comment in my charts–‘condition is as usual’. At one point, a specialist doctor (neurosurgeon) came visiting from America. He examined my case and said he could ix me. The surgery was scheduled for Thursday that week, and I was glad that I inally had help, but Thursday came and the doctor wasn’t there. We postponed to the Monday after that but the doctor was absent still. Through all this, there was one good thing; I was born again, so I kept on praying. If the Jesus I had received into me ministered to those who were paralyzed and they walked, how then could I be paralyzed? I refused to accept that I would be paralyzed for the rest of my life. I was tired of living that life, I wanted divine healing from God, so that I could go back to my life the way it was before the accident. My sister had told me about the Healing School, so when the American doctor didn’t show, I decided to come straight to the Healing School. When I attended the Healing School, I had faith that my condition had changed, even before the man of God, Pastor Chris, came to me. I said to myself, “This is the day that the Lord has made, this is my day. I will receive my healing.” It was a day that I will never forget. Then the man of God came and touched my chest. He told me to inhale and exhale; when I inhaled, there was something coming into me, when I exhaled there was something coming out of me. I understood that God was taking out what wasn’t needed and replacing something in me. I felt that ‘something’ come into me and strengthen my bones. Then Pastor Chris asked them to take out the corset that was supporting my spine. He laid hands on me again and said, “You’re healed!” And I just walked. I had been in the hospital for more than 3 months, all through Christmas and New Year, with Easter then approaching–conined to a bed. But here I was, walking after a few moments with the man of God. I remember carrying the corset around in the hall as I rejoiced, then I dropped it and I never saw it again, from that day till today. I have many testimonies, to the glory of God. I received the healing anointing when Pastor Chris prayed for me; now, I lay hands on the sick and they get healed. When I got married, I showed my wife the video of my miracle at the Healing School. She cried as she watched; she was amazed because she was looking at a totally diferent person. I was told that I couldn’t have children anymore because the accident afected my pelvic region, but I have a child in my new marriage, making two kids now. My life changed when I came here, I’m a new person. Pastor Chris, I thank you. Without you, I would still be at home, unable to do any of the things I am doing now. May God keep you and guide you to continue afecting those who still need you in our generation. Partners of the Healing School, thank you very much. I really appreciate what you’ve done for me. Whatever condition you’re in is not permanent, it is temporary. Nothing is impossible with God; activate your faith and be ready to take your miracle with you. Today, I am a living testimony and God can do whatever He needs to in your life, like He did in my life.

Already this year, the 2018 Autumn Session has held in Johannesburg, South Africa. Thousands of people, including students, ministers and young people from all over the world were touched by the power of God at work in the healing ministry of the man of God, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome. Several have amazing testimonies of healing that bear witness of God’s loving kindness and unending compassion for all men. Andre Fick is one of the countless thousands whose lives have been forever changed as a result of attending the Healing School. When he was age 7, Andre’s world became a shadow of darkness, with series of strange experiences and spiritual attacks that led to depression. “My life was full of ups and downs, setbacks and disappointments,” he said. After 30 years of living that way, his life took a turn when he heard of the Healing School. Andre received his liberty when Pastor Chris ministered to him. He is no longer on pills, which he previously needed to strengthen his body and aid sleep. He celebrates his new life of joy and peace
saying, “Now I’m healthy and strong, and my physical body is full of light.” With the 2018 Healing School August Session in Lagos, Nigeria, already underway, the excitement in the air is palpable as thousands convene to partake of the extraordinary miracles that are sure to earmark this session.

P
astor Chris, I love you, and I bless God for the work He is doing in your life, and also for all that He is doing through you in impacting nations. You have made tremendous impact in my life.
I knew about Pastor Chris from his videos on television and the internet while in Jamaica. I saw how God was using this man of God and I was impressed. The opportunity to be with him at the Healing School was a dream come true. A minister from Trinidad invited me to go with him to the Healing School, and I know that it was divine providence for me to connect directly with this great man of God. On the light to South Africa, I was illed with anticipation, more and more as the plane drew nearer to the country. Being in that Healing School atmosphere is indescribable. It was like being in heaven. I’d seen this on television, but now I was experiencing it live and it was unbelievable. All the miracles that I saw were so powerful and profound. When Pastor Chris came out, it was as if he came out to war. He exercised such authority, it was clear that he knows who he is and the authority that he has; he commanded demons with such power and intensity. I tell you, this is not a normal man. The amount of people that were there anticipating their healing–and how quickly he ministered to them–was amazing. Soul winning is my passion, so I almost cried with joy to see the number of people who came out and received salvation. My heart was blessed and I was lifted within my spirit. I was overwhelmed and overjoyed to see that. That was a great moment for me. I have gleaned so much from the man of God, Pastor Chris. Listening to him has lifted me and challenged me to go deeper in the Word of God by reason of the revelations he brings to the fore efortlessly. A change took place in my life at the Healing School. I had expected to receive more ire for the Gospel and the gift of healing, and that was the impartation I received when Pastor ministered to me. This experience will remain with me for all time. Men and women of God, wherever you are, I challenge you to connect with the man of God and this great ministry. Let me tell you, your life, ministry and country will never be the same. It is a decision you’ll never regret.

oison can be simply deined as a substance that causes injury, illness or death when introduced into the human body or absorbed by an organism. Poisoning can occur via inhalation, absorption through the skin, ingestion through the mouth or injection into the blood stream. Most poisonings are accidental and often occur as a result of ingestion of drugs, chemicals or exposure to harmful substances.
P
Unintentional poisoning is one of the leading causes of injury to children. Children, especially those less than ive years old, are major victims of accidental poisonings because they are naturally curious, are often attracted to bright and shiny objects, and have a high tendency to put things in their mouths irst. Poisoning is a preventable injury and we have a few tips to help you ensure that you’re doing the best you can to keep your children safe.
TIPS 1. Store all medications–both non-prescription and prescription–in a designated cabinet with child proof locks, far out of the reach of children. 2. Never refer to your child’s medications as ‘candy’ or ‘juice’; they might end up taking an overdose in your absence. It is also safer to avoid taking medications in front of them so they do not copy your actions. 3. Ensure that you administer the right dose of all medications and when you are unsure, call your doctor to conirm before giving the drugs. 4. Clean out the medicine cabinet periodically and safely dispose of unneeded and outdated medicines. 5. Ask guests to keep any purse, bag or coat containing medication away and out of sight while they are in your home. 6. Store cleaning supplies, insecticides, bleach, liquid detergent, mouthwash, cologne, perfume, hairspray,

and other chemical agents clearly marked as poisonous, out of reach. 7. When the products mentioned above are in use, never let your child out of sight, even if it means taking the child or the product along when you have to pick a phone call or answer the door. 8. Leave all chemicals in their original containers and do not use similar containers for storage of water or juice for the kids. Likewise, do not use old juice or milk bottles to store chemicals. 9. Lamp oil can be very toxic if ingested by children, so do not put decorative lamps and candles that contain lamp oil where children can reach them. 10. Households with children should never use loose bait, loose pellet rodent control products, laundry pods or other such materials that are easy to pick up and ingest.
“For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]” (Ephesians 2:10 AMP).
A
s a Christian, there’s no challenge or problem strong enough to destroy you, because the Greater One lives in you. You’re more than a conqueror. Before you were born, God already knew every problem you’d ever face, and made you a victor. The reason God allows challenges come to you is that He already put the solution inside you. Problems gravitate toward their solution. So, when you face challenges, don’t cower or fret; rather, rejoice, for it’s your opportunity to manifest the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:13 says, “…but God is faithful, who will not sufer you to be tempted above that ye are able…” God doesn’t mind that you’re facing a challenge in your life because He knows that, by acting on the Word, you can change the situation and turn it into a testimony that’ll glorify His Name. It doesn’t matter what you may be going through, just know that you have the answer in you. That’s why He says, “…count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations” (James 1:2). Romans 8:28 says, “All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.” God has prepared a glorious life for you; a life of advantage, victory, dominion and joy; He didn’t prepare your life for defeat or failure! You’re His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for glory and excellence. Live the good life that He prearranged for you.
CONFESSIONS As God’s representative in this world, I decree peace, perfect health and prosperity in every area of my life. I do not get sick; I have the life and nature of God in me. Divinity is at work in me, and all things are working together for my good! I believe God’s Word for me in Luke 10:9, that He has given me power over the enemy, and that nothing shall by any means hurt me. Therefore, I live in faith; faith in God and in His Word; faith in the victory of Jesus over Satan and the cohorts of darkness. I refuse to fear sickness or death. Out of my belly low rivers of living water. Eternal life lows through my being. I walk in the victory that God wrought for me through Jesus Christ. No matter what happens, I am more than a conqueror. I live in dominion over sickness, disease, poverty and lack. My life is a manifestation of the glory of God. Hallelujah! I am a king, and my words are full of power and authority; therefore, I decree health, peace, prosperity and success into every area of my life. I take charge of every situation and declare that all things are working together for my good. I’m not a victim, but a victor in Christ. There’s no challenge big enough and no demon powerful enough to stop me from walking in victory! I live with the consciousness that I am a victor in Christ Jesus. I have the mindset of a victor; my present-hour mentality is that I cannot be defeated or disadvantaged. I have the victory over sin, the devil, sickness, death and the circumstances of this life. Glory to God! The Healing School Magazine | 11
