The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly (John 10:10).

ertainly, our theme verse couldn’t be referring to the biological life since those to whom Jesus spoke those inspiring words were already alive biologically. Rather, He was referring to the divine life— the God-life. The phrase, ‘more abundantly’, in the actual Greek rendering is, ‘to the full’. He actually said, “...I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it to the full.” When Jesus walked the earth, He lived the Kingdom life. His life and ministry were miraculous and supernatural. He fed ive thousand men with a little boy’s lunch (women and children not counted). He raised the dead and walked on water. He did so many other supernatural things, which are recorded for us in the Bible. Jesus didn’t need life from God when He walked the earth; He was the totality of life! John 1:4 says, “In him was life…” Now you can understand why He’s able to give that life to the full to anyone who comes to Him. In 1 John 1:2, the Apostle John describes Him as the manifestation and embodiment of life itself: “(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us).” In John 5:26, Jesus Himself airmed, “For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself.” The Bible says he that has the Son, has this life (1 John 5:12). Now, here’s the point: the miracles that Jesus performed weren’t miracles to Him. Rather, they were 02 | Healing to the Nations
the expressions of His Kingdom life. The things He did, and the way He lived, shows the way we ought to live and function today, for we’re in the Kingdom now. Being born again, we’ve been born into the Kingdom of God’s dear Son, where the supernatural is natural with us. Eternal life, the divine life, is in your spirit. You can’t have this life and be infected with HIV or have your body ravaged by cancer! This life can’t coexist with diabetes or stroke; it destroys sickness and disease, and repels darkness. The trouble with many is that they aren’t conscious of the supernatural life of God that they have. They live as ordinary men due to their ignorance of the Word (Psalm 82:5). It’s for this reason that the Spirit, writing through John, admonished that you be conscious of your divinity; conscious that you have eternal life, the God-life in you: “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life…” (1 John 5:13). We have the same life He has. His power is in you, working all the time, because He lives in you. But you have to learn how to let it low out to the world. Divinity is at work in you. It’s the reason you must inundate your mind with God’s Word and thoughts from the Spirit of God! Consciously practice the Godlife by living out God’s Word. You’re not ordinary. The life in you is incorruptible and superior to sickness, disease or the negative forces of life. Live every day with the consciousness that you have the supernatural life in you.
If you want to make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life, then say this prayer, believing with all your heart: “O Lord God, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God. I believe that God raised Him from the dead and I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from today. I receive by faith, remission of sins for my soul. Right now, in the Name of Jesus Christ. I receive eternal life into my spirit. I am born again!”

Truly, the February 2020 Healing School Online Prayer Conference was a most glorious time that availed power for the miraculous. With hundreds of millions of people connected worldwide from every country and territory, the 3-day program entailed awesome sessions of prayers, which provided answers to the deepest questions and desires of so many. Long before the appointed date for the Conference, news about it spread abroad, creating excitement across the globe. “For this Conference, I expect divine healing across the Paciic Islands and to witness the manifestation of God’s Spirit in my nation,” said Fatai from Tonga. “I expect supernatural healing all around the world, to the glory of God,” Eunice from Switzerland stated. Others also shared their expectations for an overlow of the miraculous, healing for their bodies, relationships, inances and so on. Every day at the Conference was a special tribute to the glory of God. Every place where people gathered across 04 | Healing to the Nations
the globe to participate in the program was illed with a special manifest presence of the Holy Ghost as they worshipped, prayed, prophesied and testiied. Opening this life-changing event, the Chief Executive Oicer of Loveworld Incorporated and Director of the Healing School, Pastor Deola Phillips, gave a most warm welcome to the global congregation. She talked about the results recorded from the Healing School Online Prayer Conference since its inception in 2018; the great blessings, the uncommon miracles and testimonies, and the ever-increasing impact of the Healing School around the world. To emphasize the Lord’s desire that all men be well, as stated in 3 John 1:2, Pastor Deola spoke of the special mandate, a special vision, and special instructions given to the man of God, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, concerning healing the sick. This, she stated, underscored the need to make time to pray for the sick. “A broken body cannot express the glory of God; it cannot carry the Gospel around the world. The body is your temple, your vehicle to carry what the Lord has put in your spirit to the world. So, God wants you well, He wants
your body well, and He wants those around you to also experience seasons of health,” she explained. Gearing those connected for the impact of this Conference, she said, “We’re going to see the unprecedented impact of the Spirit of God in the lives of so many around the world. We will have inspiring words come to us to build our faith for the miraculous. We will hear testimonies that will set you on course for a new dimension of the glory of God in your life.” Moments of worship and songs of thanksgiving electriied the atmosphere in many homes, oices, parks, restaurants, churches, and more, as renowned music ministers like Sinach, Eben and many others ministered songs of the Spirit. Riveting conversations during the Conference accentuated various aspects of the Healing School, opening the eyes of the rapt audience to its many facets. “The healing ministry of our man of God, Pastor Chris, is a unique assignment that the Lord gave to him. It is a certain place, a place of appointment, and the results have been phenomenal,” said Reverend Ray Okocha – a member of the Loveworld Central Executive Council – during a discourse.
Evangelist Dr Eddy Owase – also a member of the Loveworld Central Executive Council – said, “The Healing School means diferent things to diferent people; it is a place of divine intervention to the one that is sick, a place of inspiration to the minister who wants to change levels, and a place of perfection to everyone. I have seen so many creative miracles and it has been consistent. I have seen presidents and politicians get healed, and I have seen the poor and even little children come to the Healing School and receive their healing.” In accordance with the principle in Romans 10:17, faith came to many all over the world, as they heard one extraordinary account after the other during the testimony segments. Every testiier had a wonderful tale to tell about their Healing School experience and the ever-present miracles. They talked of how their destinies were altered, of the remarkable changes that have taken place in their lives, and of the glorious life they now enjoy. Deola Gbadamosi’s joy was boundless as she shared her testimony of healing from olfactory neuroblastoma at the Healing School: “I’m alive! This is 11 years after, and you can still call me a testimony. Cancer is no joke, but since the Healing School, there hasn’t been Healing to the Nations | 05
06 | Healing to the Nations
a single case of reoccurrence or growth in any part of my body.” Chris Bridger, who was healed of fatty liver and recurrent lower back pain, said, “When the man of God ministered to me, I knew without a shadow of doubt that I was healed!” What’s more, the testiiers ofered hope to those who needed healing in their bodies or for their loved ones. Desreen Govender, who was healed of depression after 34 years, said, “If Pastor Chris could heal me, deinitely he can heal the whole world. This is not just talk, it’s about you experiencing the Healing School.” When it was time to pray, saints connected in every nation across the earth rose to their priestly duty. While prayerfully thanking God for the Healing School and the success of the Autumn Session that was scheduled to start after the Conference, all participants interceded fervently and earnestly for those who were sick – whether at home or in hospitals, health workers, partners of and ministers in the Healing School, as well as the spread of the Gospel through the Healing School. The highpoint for each day was the special segment where the ministers converged to pray upon the myriads of prayer requests that had been sent in from participants of the Conference all over the world. These were moments of change for diverse circumstances and situations in the lives of many. Words were released in faith and in power, setting in motion an overlow of miracles that travelled to every nation, cutting through the barriers of time and distance. The miracles were instantaneous as the healing power of God was manifested in churches, viewing centers, homes and everywhere. Countless testimonies came in from various channels, and continued to low in, even several weeks after the Conference. “When I was watching the Healing School Prayer Conference, my faith was rising because of all the testimonies that the people gave of their healing. I had kidney problems, so I prayed with my sister and I was healed immediately. Praise the Lord, Hallelujah!” Gabriela from Germany
“For 3 weeks I was coughing seriously, but the cough stopped while we prayed and I was able to sing along when the time of worship came. Praise God and thank you for the opportunity.” Barbara from Ireland “I give all glory to God. He healed my back pain, which was due to kidney failure. The pain has stopped totally and I know that God has restored my kidneys to normal. They are functioning perfectly. Thank you, Lord!” Helin from USA “For years, I had this consistent pain and heaviness that made it quite challenging for me to start each day, but after the ministers prayed over the requests, I received my healing. I slept so well that night and I woke up strong the next day, without any pain or dizziness. Indeed, the Word works!” Ernest from Ghana In the inal moments of the last day of the Conference, Reverend Tom Amenkhienan – Director of Church Ministry and member of the Central Executive Council, Loveworld Incorporated – beautifully summarized the importance of the program: “The meaning, the reason, and the impact of the Healing School is becoming more real to everyone participating. It is not a show, it’s not just an idea, it’s not just a program. In this world today, this is what God has provided to turn lives and situations around. You have no reason to die, no reason to be in sickness or disease or inirmity. We’re not joking here; God means business through the Healing School.” Glory to God! What a most exceptional time! The February 2020 Healing School Online Prayer Conference was a foretaste of the supernatural. It heralded the Healing School Autumn Session with Pastor Chris in South Africa, where many from diferent nations had their lives transformed by the power of the Holy Ghost.

or a programmer, most days involve diverse tasks for building and deploying functional websites, applications and programs. These include tasks ranging from client-servicing to troubleshooting. With likely glitches and urgent issues cropping up at a moment’s notice, programmers need to be quick and versatile. One can say that they wear multiple hats, but while the work is fast-paced, it’s also very exciting. When Lajosné Budavári completed her programming course, she had her whole life carefully mapped out, just as she desired it to be. She was going to make a mark in the world, and meaningfully contribute to the development of her homeland – Hungary. Focused and determined, she plunged into her career with great aspirations to be the best in the ield. But sometime in 2009, Lajosné’s well planned life took an unexpected turn. For reasons she couldn’t explain, she began to experience constipation, fatigue and unexpected weight gain. Being an agile person who wasn’t prone to illnesses, these symptoms were strange to Lajosné. She frantically tried to get to the bottom of these symptoms. When she sought professional help, the outcome brought her life to a grinding halt. She had been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. The tests showed an almost completely inactive thyroid gland. “Hypothyroidism means that your thyroid gland isn’t producing enough thyroxine and triiodothyronine – the hormones that stimulate or support important processes such as growth, oxygen use, fertility, immunity and the processing of minerals and water. The symptoms of this condition will worsen with time, so if you want to live to see your children for a few more years, you will have to be on medication for the rest of your life,” the physician explained to Lajosné. It felt, to Lajosné, as though a thick blanket had been draped over her life. Its shadow enveloped her in darkness, numbing her senses, fogging her brain, and saturating her life with
08 | Healing to the Nations
woe and misery. “When I got that diagnosis, I didn’t see my future bright, I saw the end of my life,” she discloses. Within a short period, Lajosné looked to have aged several years. Soon, it became diicult for her to get smooth low of oxygen into her lungs while lying down, so that she had to brace herself with pillows. Struggling with weight-gain, despite eating healthy and limited portions, her face looked pufy in the mirror. The sparkle in her eyes and in her spirit was waning rapidly. Also, her self-conidence and self-esteem were quickly fading away. Attending to family and keeping up with daily activities burned her out; she had to devise ways to stay awake for family movie nights. Getting up in the morning became a herculean task, and each day ended with her being completely worn out. Lajosné had never experienced this kind of lethargy in her entire life, and she was lost. “In 2012, I reached my breaking point,” she says. “I sufered bone-crushing fatigue, pain, depression, hair loss, inlammation, weakness and numbness in diferent parts of my body. I felt anxiety, terrible cold, throbbing pains in my chest and stomach, and I was tired of the excessive weight gain. At the beginning of the year 2012, I was diagnosed with thrombosis in my leg and varicose veins. As a result, I was unable to walk or engage in any physical activity.” The months passed in a blur of scans, numerous tests, more exams, physiotherapy sessions, hospitalization and endocrinologist appointments, and the likes. As a woman of science, Lajosné earnestly hoped the treatments would work. She did all that was required of her and spent so much to get the care she needed, but the pain did not abate. Then, one beautiful Sunday morning, news about the Healing School reached Lajosné. This news stirred faith
in her heart, and she immediately decided to attend the next session of the Healing School, which was scheduled to hold in Toronto, Canada, for the irst time. In spite of the unbearable pain in her body, Lajosné journeyed several hours from Eastern Europe to Canada for that one touch from God that would change her life forever. “I came to the Healing School because I was tired of all the pain and misery I had been through. I wanted everything to come to an end. I wanted to be restored,” she said. From the moment she arrived at the Healing School, Lajosné started experiencing long-desired changes in her body. The capstone of her encounter was the lifechanging instant when the man of God, Pastor Chris, ministered to her and declared her free. She says, “When Pastor Chris prayed for me, He blew on me, and I fell to the ground. As I stood up, I said ‘I’ve got it! I’m healed!’ Then, I felt a very deep touch in my soul; a touch from Jesus. He made me whole.” Lajosné recovered, as her body steadily started to blossom again. Soon, she received a clean bill of health from the doctor. Today, eight years after her unforgettable encounter with the power of God at the Healing School, Lajosné is still overwhelmed with thanks and praises unto the Lord for her miraculous healing. She has recorded ground-breaking successes in her career as a programmer, and has impacted her family and world with her inspiring testimony. Lajosné has since become an active member in her local church, and an ardent soul winner who seizes every opportunity to testify of the healing touch that brought her to a new life when she came to the Healing School.

our ears are responsible for transmitting and receiving sounds, maintaining body balance, enhancing healthy interpersonal relations with others, and so much more. As important as they are, our ears require special care. Here are some helpful tips on how to protect your ears and keep them healthy. • Clean your outer ears only: To keep the ears clean, you only need to clean the outer parts. Clean with water, gentle soap and a washcloth. Also wipe the outer curves with cotton swabs. • Never stick objects in your ears: A clean ear is not wax-free. The ear is a self-cleaning organ, and is designed to have some wax in it to prevent dust and other possibly harmful substances from entering the ears. Left alone, old earwax will naturally fall out due to jaw movement. Do not stick cotton swabs, Q-tips, sharp or pointed objects in your ear canal. Some of these objects may push the earwax further in, rather than removing it, and this may lead to blockage, ear trauma, and hearing loss eventually. If there is a buildup of earwax in your ear, seek professional help to have it removed. • Maintain a healthy diet: There are several studies that show how diferent foods are crucial to your hearing. The right kind of food will contribute to your body’s immunity against age-related hearing loss, so practice sound dietary habits today, with adequate fruits, vegetables, nuts and proteins. • Mind your meds: Some medications may cause temporary or permanent hearing loss. Use medications only as prescribed by a doctor, be sure to read up on the side efects and watch out for any adverse
10 | Healing to the Nations
reactions. Discontinue use and seek immediate medical assistance if you observe hearing loss or develop constant noise in your ears while on any medication. • Protect against infections: Moisture in the ear canal and piercings in the earlobes are likely breeding grounds for infection-causing bacteria. To protect against these infections, always dry your ears with a clean dry towel after showering or swimming. Routine cleaning of ear piercings and earrings with rubbing alcohol is also advised. • Avoid loud noise: The level of noise and duration of exposure to it is a factor in hearing loss. To protect your ears, we recommended using ear/headphones for a maximum of one hour daily at 60% volume. Wear hearing protection during exposure to loud levels of noise while mowing the lawn, at a shooting range, at a sporting event, etc. • Employ safety: Always wear protective helmets while engaging in any activity that may put you at risk of head or ear injuries. Change in pressure levels inside the ear is potentially harmful, so use earplugs or practise swallowing and yawning often during air travel, especially during takeof and landing. Not understanding what other people say and answering inappropriately, diiculty hearing during conversations, ear pain, and frequent hums/noise within your ears or head are just a few of the tell-tale signs of imminent hearing problems. Seek medical advice when you experience any of these. Proper ear care will improve your overall health. Start today. Improve the quality of your life by taking adequate care of your ears.

ords possess creative energy. Words are things; they have substance and never die. Jesus showed us how to use words. In every miracle He did, in every blessing He imparted, He used words. He spoke, and whatever He said came into existence. He taught that the most powerful force in life is the force of words and cautioned us not to speak empty, inoperative words (Matthew 12:36). He said in John 6:63, “…the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” The same goes for your words; they’re eternal. There’re blessings untold for the one who is born again, but you must acknowledge and speak them forth to enjoy them. 1 Peter 3:10 says anyone who wants to enjoy life and see good days must speak wholesomely. Where you are today in life is a relection of what you’ve been saying all your life. Therefore, build your life with the right words. Speak words that are consistent with the glorious life of righteousness, peace, health, and joy that you have in Christ Jesus.
CONFESSIONS The divine life of God is at work in me. When I received Jesus, I received this life in its entirety. I am full of this life, and everything I do exudes this incorruptible life. It emits from me in words and deeds, because as Jesus is, so am I. I can never be sick, broken, wounded or defeated because I have this very life of God in me.
The Word of God has gained the ascendancy over my life, and it prevails over my spirit, soul and body. There is nothing missing or lacking in me. I am illed with the fullness of God and there is no place for sickness and disease in my body. The Word of God is medicine to my lesh; therefore, no inirmity can thrive in my body.
My faith prevails always. I am what God says I am; I have what He says I have, I can do what He says I can do and I walk in the light of God’s Word daily. The good life, health and strength are part of my divine heritage in Christ.
I’m an overcomer, victorious and triumphant over the devil and negative systems of this world. My faith is alive. God’s Word is producing results in my life. I’m not moved by what I see or how I feel because I walk by faith and not by sight. Therefore, I live in absolute peace, health and prosperity. I declare that I am free from sickness or any form of pain.
The Lord guides me continually, and satisies my desire always, making my bones strong. I am like a well-watered garden; a spring of water, whose waters don’t go dry. I am born of the Word of truth, illed with the true essence of life. My origin is of God and that makes me an overcomer because greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. Disease has no place in me, for I’m born of God. Christ dwells in me and my body is the temple of the Holy Ghost. I am fortiied by God’s Word and strengthened with might. I’m more than a conqueror, by the power of God’s Spirit.
Just like the cedars of Lebanon, I declare that I am deeply rooted in the Word; I am strong, healthy and continually making progress. I am an embodiment of God’s grace and my daily experience is that of the miraculous and God’s ininite love. Through the Word of God and the ministry of the Spirit, I’m daily transigured into the image of the Son of God! His life and nature in my spirit give me the ability to live above sickness, disease, inirmity and sorrows. Healing to the Nations | 11
