“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” (John 15:16)
P
salm 1:3 reveals something phenomenal about you, and the life of extraordinary prosperity God has called you to. It says, “And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” This should let you know that your prosperity isn’t dependent on the economics and economies of this world. Think from a higher level. Notice again the words of the Spirit in Psalm 1:3: “... and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” He didn’t say you’ll prosper if you engage in what’s trending or booming. The emphasis is on ‘whatsoever’; in other words, there’s an empowerment in your life to cause you to prosper in all things. In the Old Testament, Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and gave them God’s promises. Imagine what he said God would do for them: “And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee” (Deuteronomy 7:13). Think about that! Everything that had to do with them was blessed. As long as it was connected to them, it prospered.
you’re in it, then it’s blessed and will prosper. Now, God wants us to be prosperous 3 John 1:2 says, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” If you haven’t made up your mind to enjoy your life, you can make that decision today, that’s God’s will for you (John 10:10b). He wants you to have good health, to be strong, vibrant, prosperous, and influential enough to help others. You have to be in a position of advantage to be able to lift others, and be a blessing. One has to be financially influential to make meaningful impact in spreading the Gospel around the world. In our ministry, for example, the tremendous impact we make all around the world costs lots of money and we’re grateful to the Lord for empowering us to be able to do all that! Preaching the Gospel is like fishing in a river; it can be done in different ways. You could jump into the water and try to catch some fish with your hands, or you could place a baited hook in a strategic spot in the water; these options won’t get you many fish. However, if you cast a net into the water, you’ll more likely get better results, but it costs more to use the net.
Those who got acquainted with Jesus in the course of His earthly ministry became empowered to bless Now, in the New Testament, we have a better others; they had greater influence, reach and impact covenant, established upon better promise (Hebrews in their time. That’s what He’s done with your life; 8:6). Therefore, anything you’re involved in should, you’re empowered to prosper and blessed to be a of necessity, prosper. Anything! The important factor blessing. isn’t what’s trending; the important factor is you. If 02 | The Healing School Magazine

ose Adusei is a 30-year-old lady living in Canada whose life was suddenly turned upside down when she found out that she had lymphoma (or lymphatic cancer). Within a few short weeks, what had begun as a jab of pain in her armpit had rapidly progressed till she became very sick. Weak and unable to walk or help herself, Rose was devastated by the drastic turn of events. Believing in the power of God and hopeful for a miracle, she found her way to the Healing School. For her, this would be the beginning of a new and wonderful life. Rose tells her story: “I was at a friend’s house one day in 2013, and then I felt a sharp pain in my armpit. After a week, the pain was still there, so I went to a walk-in clinic. The doctor thought it might be an infection and gave me antibiotics.” Rose followed the prescriptions, but the drugs seemed to have no effect. The pain worsened with each passing day and she seemed to get sicker. “I went back to the doctor after about a week and told him the antibiotics were not helping. I felt worse and the lump seemed to have gotten bigger,” she says. “Then, I went to my family doctor who did a quick biopsy in the area that was giving me pain.” Not putting much stock in what was happening, Rose returned to school and went about her normal life until she got an urgent call from the doctor a few days later. “When the doctor called and told me to come right away, I hurried back and went straight to the hospital. The doctor reported that I had lymphoma and said that mine was the most aggressive cancer he had ever seen. From what he could see, I would die within the year if I didn’t start chemotherapy treatments immediately.” Distressed at the situation she found herself in, Rose says, “I was in shock and devastated. The cancer had spread fast, and I was between stage 3 and 4. I had only 45% chance of surviving, and only if I did chemotherapy. I was very weak and in a lot of pain. I couldn’t walk and my family members used to have to help me around the house. My sister gave me baths. I was tired all the time, to the point where I couldn’t do anything. I also got nauseous a lot; the food they gave me had to be mushy and soft because I couldn’t eat proper food. “I had tumors all over my body, with the biggest one in my left armpit – it was so big that I couldn’t put my hand down for about a year and half. I just didn’t feel comfortable, so I isolated myself.

“The doctor told my father that they’d done all they could and advised him to make me comfortable until my passing.”
I didn’t go out because it wasn’t something you could hide. “Stem cell transplant was recommended, with a 90% chance that it would work; if it did, I would be cancer free. I was in the hospital for about a month for the transplant, which was very hard, but it didn’t work. They scanned me afterwards and found that there was still cancer in my body. Then the doctor told my father that they’d done all they could and advised him to make me comfortable until my passing.” Expressing her need, Rose says, “Before all this started, I was going to the university and I was in my honors program. I had a great life. I wanted God to heal me of the cancer, so that I could go back to school.” At her wits’ end as to what to do, Rose began to look for alternative means to put an end to the cancer and get her life back. Someone saw her blog about the condition on the internet and told her about a place of the miraculous. Hope welled up in Rose’s heart when she heard about the Healing School. Thus, she came to the Healing School, optimistic that there would be a change in her life. She talks about the new chapter of her life that began with her time at the Healing School. “When I got to the Healing School, I said to myself, ‘I am not leaving here without being healed.’ The day I met Pastor Chris, I told myself that only my healing mattered. When he came, he put his hand over me and I fell on the ground. I heard, ‘you’re healed’, so I got up. Then I was running and crying because I knew
I was healed that very moment. For the past 3 years, I had been told repeatedly that I wouldn’t make it. Now, I was completely healed! “When I got home, I went in for a PET scan. My doctor returned with the result in a confused state. She couldn’t understand what was going on, so she scheduled another scan and fixed an appointment with my dad and me. She consulted with other doctors on my case, then she came in and said, ‘well, we have good news! There is no sign of cancer in your body!’ I have the result and it shows that the masses are no longer there. I had doctors and several others asking me what I did, and I told them that I focused on God’s Word and what He has done for me.” Rose’s life has become an unending episode of rejoicing and celebration, and she attributes her miracle to the love of God at work in her life. She has a profound message for anyone in need of a miracle: “If God did it for me, He can do it for you, and He will do it for you. God is no respecter of persons. Have faith and you’ll receive a miracle.” To register for the 2018 Healing School Autumn Session, or for other enquiries, kindly visit our website at w w w. e n t e r t h e h e a l i n g s c h o o l . o r g / s e s s i o n / a u t u m n or download the Healing School Mobile App on Google Play Store and the Apple App Store or follow us on KingsChat.

T
he International Easter Youth Camp (IEYC) with Pastor Chris avails youngsters between ages 13 and 21 unlimited opportunities to encounter the power of the Holy Ghost and receive insight that permanently alters their future and destinies in God. Each year, this event attracts hundreds of youth yearning for deep revelations of God that will position them for success in life and ministry. Following their participation, these delegates launch out with deep-seated resolve to win every day for Jesus Christ. As a result, testimonies of notable feats wrought for the cause of the Gospel continue to abound. The 2017 IEYC was one experience which left indelible imprints in the hearts of its attendees. For these youth who came from all seven continents, nothing else mattered except for their desire to be fired up and equipped as successful ambassadors of Christ in their world. They had come anticipating that their lives would be changed, but they could not have fathomed the intensity of the transformation they would experience. Relating his expectations for this event, 21-year-old Joseph from Switzerland said, “I expect that the words I receive here will embolden me to preach the Gospel to everyone in my world when I return to my country.” Samira Joy from Italy recounted her expectations, “I expect to receive everything that God has prepared for me so that I can live in a greater level of glory. I want to be more relevant in the house of God and make more impact in my city through the Gospel. I want this experience to transform everything about me, so that when I return to Italy, it’ll be difficult for people to recognize me.” During the program, the youth witnessed exhilarating
moments that ignited their faith and passion for the Lord. These moments included inspiring presentations, edifying talk shows, profound ministrations from notable leaders of the Believers’ Loveworld ministry and Bible study classes, as well as epic meetings with the man of God, Pastor Chris. It was an all-round glorious experiene for the youth. Afterwards, 20-year-old Mark Tuitupou from Tonga reminisced on the highpoints of the Camp, “I learnt a lot of things from Pastor Chris’ teachings. Pastor said the secret of his success is the Holy Spirit inside him, and he is conscious of the One inside him. He said his dream was to be the answer to the cries of millions, and now I can see how he accomplished this dream – by the Holy Spirit.” Mark declared his resolve to impact Tonga with the Gospel of Christ upon his return, saying, “When I get back home, I’m ready to take the fire back to my nation. I’m going to hold a sports event where young Islanders will not only have fun, but also feel the love of God and receive the Word. I’m going back with an unquenchable fire in my heart; it’s not going to burn out and we are going to win thousands of souls, in the Name of Jesus.” It’s a new dawn for the propagation of the Gospel, and God continues to endue His children with more grace for greater kingdom exploits in these last days. Get ready for a revolutionary experience that will catapult you to higher levels of faith and glory as you join youth from around the world to participate in the 2018 edition of the International Easter Youth Camp.

hether you consider the tomato a fruit or vegetable, the fact remains that it is a great addition to any meal. With an extensive list of essential vitamins and minerals contained in them, tomatoes are loaded with many health benefits. Available in about 3,000 species, this superfood adds flavor and great advantages to any meal. 1. Skin Looks Greater: Your skin needs collagen for strength and elasticity, and also for replacing dead or damaged cells. Biotin and Vitamin C in tomatoes enhances production of various proteins including collagen. Tomatoes also have lycopene, which protects the skin against damage from the sun. 2. Hair Gets Healthier: Taking tomato juice regularly will make your hair better by improving the texture and appearance. Its rich composition of iron and Vitamins A and K strengthens and revitalizes the hair, maintains color and adds shine. 3. Weight Stays Controlled: Low in fats, with zero cholesterol, tomatoes are ideal for weight control plans. Tomatoes can be eaten raw or added to other meals, and the stomach fills up faster on fewer calories because of the water and fiber in them. 4.
Bones Become Stronger: Tomatoes contain calcium and Vitamin K, which strengthen and repair the bones, as well as magnesium which works with calcitonin (a hormone) to help the bones absorb calcium, and potassium which prevents calcium loss over time.
5. Eyes See Better: Tomatoes are a rich source of Vitamins A & C, lycopene, lutein, and beta- carotene. 10 | The Healing School Magazine
These are powerful antioxidants that protect the eyes against light damage, cataracts, night blindness and age-related macular degeneration. 6. You Sleep Better: Some studies show that increased levels of lycopene and Vitamin C in tomatoes promote better sleep. That means a salad with tomatoes, tomato juice or soup may be just what you need if you haven't been sleeping properly. 7. The Heart Works Better: Tomatoes have Vitamin B and potassium which help to flush sodium from the blood, reduce cholesterol and lower blood pressure. Properties like lycopene and Vitamins A & C work together to reduce risk of stroke and heart diseases. 8. Glucose Levels Are Optimized: Elevated blood sugar levels affect vital organs like the brain and kidneys. Tomatoes contain little carbohydrates and will help lower glucose levels in the blood. This also helps to prevent diabetes. 9.
Reduces Risk of Cancer: Cooked tomatoes produce a high amount of lycopene, an antioxidant which slows the growth of cancerous cells. More lycopene works to reduce the risk of lung, colon, prostate and stomach cancer.
10. Strengthens Immune System: Tomatoes help to boost the body's immunity levels. The vitamins and antioxidants work to reduce stress and increase energy levels. Eating more tomatoes will help prevent or manage various ailments like gallstones, urinary tract infection, anemia, Alzheimer's disease, etc.
“Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see…” (Hebrews 11:1 AMP).
I
n essence, the above definition of faith means that you know something you’ve hoped for is real, though it’s not visible in the physical realm. Faith isn’t just an idea or an opinion; it’s a substance, the evidence of unseen realities. Evidence is proof of something; it can be made available. If faith is evidence, then there’s something it represents. If you had a property situated somewhere and someone asked, “How can I be sure you actually own the property?” You wouldn’t move the house from wherever it is; that wouldn’t be possible. What you’d simply do is to produce the title-deed. Faith is the title-deed. You may not even have been to the property yourself, but the title-deed is your evidence that it is yours. You’re so sure of that document, you can even use it as a collateral. That’s what faith is. If the devil tries to question your right to prosperity, divine health or any of your blessings, privileges and inheritance in Christ, pull out your evidence – the title-deed. Your faith in the Word of God is your title-deed. Declare with confidence what the Word of God says: “…all things are yours” (1 Corinthians 3:21). The evidence of your right to divine health is the Word. Romans 8:11 (NIV) says, “And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.”
CONFESSIONS The Word of God is life to me and medicine to my body. It rejuvenates and refreshes me daily! I’m divinely immunized against all forms of sickness, disease and infections, because God’s Word of life dwells richly in my spirit and inundates my whole being! Through the Word of God and the ministry of the Spirit, I’m being transfigured daily into the image of the Son of God! His life and nature imparted into my spirit gives me the ability to live above sickness, disease, infirmity and sorrows, for as He is, so am I! Hallelujah! I’m the faith-child of a faith-God! I live today in victory and triumph because I’m fully persuaded that I’m what God says I am, I have what He says I have, and I can do what He says I can do. I live in dominion over sickness, disease, poverty, the world and its systems today, because faith is my lifestyle. I have the life and nature of God in me; I’ve put on the new man, which is created in righteousness and true holiness. I’ve passed from death to life, from sin to righteousness, from sickness to health and from poverty to wealth. Hallelujah! 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!
