“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding” (Proverbs 4:7).
T
he Word of God is the wisdom of God. It makes no diference how educated you are, how many books you’ve read, or what you think you know in life, or about life; if you don’t have the Word in you, you can’t function in the wisdom of God. All you’d have is the wisdom of men, and the wisdom of men can only take you so far because of its limitations. The wisdom of God is what takes you all the way, so that’s what you need.
With wisdom, you have it made. With wisdom, you’re set up for a life of endless victories and unlimited possibilities, where the miraculous becomes your daily experience. For example, in Exodus 14:16, God instructed Moses saying, “Lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.” This was the wisdom of God in action. This beats human imagination. The wisdom of man (science) can’t accept that anyone could divide the sea, the Red Sea at that, with a mere rod; but this was God’s science. He knew it would work. He wasn’t ‘trying’ to perform a miracle; in fact, He instructed Moses to do it, and Moses acted on His Word and it produced results. Again, the Lord Jesus says that the believer will lay hands on the sick and have them recover (Mark 16:18). Sickness is usually inside the body, not outside; how then do you touch somebody on the outside to repair what is broken inside? There’s no scientiic explanation that makes this possible. Only God, in His ininite wisdom, can direct power for healing through contact. 02 | The Healing School Magazine
2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” Now that you’re in Christ, you have a new culture: the Christ-culture. Until you let this reality dominate every aspect of your life, you’ll live like an ordinary person and not experience the sublime blessings of the life in Christ. You would still get sick when you ought to walk in divine health and you might be broke when you should be thriving in abundance. “The LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding” (Proverbs 2:6). You can’t be more successful than the level of wisdom that you have in you. As a Christian, it’s important how you think and what you think about. You’re not of this world; therefore, you shouldn’t think like an ordinary person. Because your spirit is recreated, you should only think the Word-way. God’s Word must form the basis for the kind of thoughts you process and allow. Through God’s Word, wisdom is not only imparted to your spirit, it is also increased. As you meditate on the Word, your mind is programmed to think accordingly. You’ll begin to talk diferently, and act in line with your confessions of faith. You’ll always be glad about your decisions and choices because you’re propelled by wisdom to be in the center of God’s will all the time. The Word of God is the only material that can energize you for success, position you for greatness, and sustain you in the transcendent life. Go for the Word, go for wisdom today!
omething is wrong.” That was the irst thought that crossed Tarcisia Amadora Mushave’s mind when she woke up one morning and found that she was unable to get out of bed. With that realization came frantic and panicked thoughts of, “What is happening to me?!”
S
Up until that point, life had been pretty normal for the 41-year-old Mozambican, but this day was the beginning of an ordeal that would last several months and make life miserable for her. In pain and unable to cope with her troubles for much longer, Tarcisia came to the Healing School where the power of God made the diference in her situation. Now, she tells a new story of transformation and supernatural restoration. Tarcisia says, “I came to the Healing School because of a problem with my spine. One day, I slept and woke up, but I couldn’t get of the bed. That’s how the problem started. 04 | The Healing School Magazine
I was taken to the hospital, where I was diagnosed with herniated lumbar disc. “From that time, there was a lot of pain in my back and lower abdomen. I couldn’t move freely because my spine was not okay. I couldn’t walk properly because my legs were very painful and stif, as if they had been dried out. I was always on the bed and I could only lie on the left side. The pain was too much when I tried sleeping on my back or stomach, and I even had diiculty sitting. Even turning on to the side was very hard, it took moving my whole body for me to turn my head to one side. “At home, I couldn’t do anything–people had to help me and I needed aid for everything. I couldn’t even take care of my family, I couldn’t take care of my own kids. People did everything for me. This made me sad and worried because I was limited from doing what I wanted. It also
made me angry that I had to stay at home all that time, and I had to stop working for months. “The doctor prescribed some treatments, but they didn’t work. I went through the irst, second and third treatments as scheduled, but nothing worked. The recommended drugs and therapies didn’t help. He also said that I should wear a lumbar belt to support my spine, and that it would correct the problem, but this was not the case. “After the irst three sets of treatments failed, the doctor told me that the next option was to open up my spine, so that they could try to repair the disc that was damaged. I thought about the operation and decided that I didn’t want to go under the knife. I had had enough of living a life that wasn’t normal, of depending on lumbar belts for some comfort, of being unable to work and take care of my children.” Desperate for an alternative that would provide a permanent solution to her predicament, Tarcisia began to look for answers. It wasn’t long before the right one came to her. “My daughter told me about the Healing School in South Africa, and I decided that I would go,” she says. “As soon as I made that decision, the doors opened and my miracle started. I got all the information and every other thing I needed to come to the Healing School and I made my way to South Africa for the session. I couldn’t even sit at the time as a result of the pain, but I endured the journey to come here. “From the irst day, I started feeling better during prayers. I was able to sit on the wheelchair, instead of lying down. The pain lessened day by day, and I started paying attention to the Word of God that was taught to me. When Pastor Chris ministered healing to me, I felt so diferent. I didn’t even know what happened. The next thing I remember was the man of God telling me to stand up. As soon as He said that, I just got up and started walking. “I used to wear two belts because the pain was unbearable if I wore just one. There was still a lot of discomfort, even with two belts, but I managed. I was so happy in that moment when the belts came of and there was no pain. I was free and nothing could hold me back. I was so happy
as I ran across the hall, from one end to the other. I could only say, ‘Glory to God!’ It was a very remarkable day for me.” Indeed, Tarcisia has a totally diferent story to tell now that she is healed, “Now, I’m ine and my life has been restored. The impartation I received at the Healing School works in every area in my life–inances, work, relationships, you name it. When I left the Healing School, I was armed with knowledge from the Word of God, and I went back to Mozambique to act. Due to the condition, I had had to abandon my own home because I was going through spiritual attacks. I was separated from my husband for 6 months. After I received my healing, I went back home and was reunited with him. I resumed work after that at the National Institution of Social Grants in the Province of Gaza, and I was promoted to manager and made Head of Human Resources. Moving from place to place had cost me a lot. I lost so much, but God restored my peace and my inances.” Tarcisia rounds up her testimony by giving thanks to God Almighty for His wonderful works in her life. She also thanks Pastor Chris and partners of the Healing School, “I thank the man of God, Pastor Chris, for liberating me from the bonds of pain. I didn’t know about Jesus until I met you. God bless you more and more, so that you’ll continue to save the world that is so oppressed by the devil. I thank all the partners of the Healing School. You were very fundamental to my healing and I ask God to bless and multiply you inancially, so you can continue to do more for others and spread the Word to the ends of the world. I thank you for everything that you do to save lives.” To someone who’s reading this and hoping for a miracle, Tarcisia gives a inal word, “You are the seed of Abraham; you have eternal life and divine health. Come to the Healing School, this is a place where God’s Word will come alive to take care of your situation, whatever it may be.” Registration for the next Healing School session holding in Lagos, Nigeria, has commenced.

When you learn about Jesus, you take His message of salvation to others because, truly, Jesus is the only solution. He is the answer, there’s no other way.

aily, thousands of people around the world depend on receiving donated blood and blood products to stay alive. The gift of blood for transfusion is one of the most precious gifts anyone can give to help humanity, it is one of the highest forms of volunteering. Voluntary blood donors are superheroes and lifesavers! June 14th is World Blood Donor Day; this event appreciates voluntary, unpaid blood donors and raises awareness of the need for regular blood donations. The WHO theme for this year’s campaign is a call to action: “Be there for someone else. Give blood. Share life.” To help you prepare to play your part, we highlighted ten important facts about voluntary blood donation. Some of these show you how your act of kindness will help others, and others show you how blood donation helps you.
D
1. Blood is in short supply: 75% of the world’s population are potential recipients, but less than 1.2% are donors. Rare blood types like O Negative are usually in higher demand. There is no known substitute for blood, only real blood will do.
6. It helps optimize blood iron levels: Iron is needed to produce red blood cells, but too much iron can lead to life-threatening conditions like liver disease. Donating blood reduces iron levels as you encourage your body to produce new red blood cells.
2. It can save many: One pint of blood donated can save up to three lives when divided into its component parts. Your gift of love will keep a child, a parent, a sibling, or a friend alive for one more day.
7. It reduces the risk of cancer: Donating blood reduces iron, and thus the risk of cancer. Results from a 4-year study on the subject showed that blood donors had lower risk of liver, lung, colon, and throat cancers due to reduced oxidative stress when iron was released from the bloodstream.
3. It is safe and quick: The process is safe with the use of sterile, disposable equipment for each donor, so there is no risk of infection. Also, the entire process can be done within 20 minutes once you enter the donation center or blood bank. 4. It helps you keep track of your health: Simple physical examinations and blood tests are routine for blood donation, to determine if a volunteer is eligible to donate blood. This means one can detect health concerns early and take appropriate action, but this shouldn’t be your means of testing for diseases. Always consult your doctor. 5. It promotes cardiovascular health: Blood viscosity can be reduced by donating blood on a regular basis. Studies in USA and Finland show that blood donation lessens the risk of heart attacks and strokes. People who donated blood at least once a year had 88% lower risk of heart attacks.
8. It doesn’t take much: To protect the giver, blood donation is regulated. You are advised to donate blood no more that thrice a year (at 3-4 months’ intervals). Also, no more than one pint (473.2ml) of blood can be collected each time you donate. 9. It burns calories: Donating one pint of blood will burn an estimate of 650 calories, so you shed some weight as a result. This is a fact, not an advantage. Please note that we do not recommend using blood donations as a weight loss method. 10. It helps your mental health: While blood donation helps you physically, much can be said for its psychological efects. Your giving blood makes a diference in the lives of others, and there is nothing more fulilling than the knowledge that you are saving lives, which is your God-given purpose.
Even if you’re declared ineligible to donate blood due to low weight or low blood count, or other factors, you can still be a part of the World Blood Donor Day by sponsoring the donation activities, or helping out at the donation centers.

Fight the good ight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. (1 Timothy 6:12). he underlined portion of our opening Scripture, as rendered in the Greek, is ‘epilambanomai’. It means to take a hold of something without letting go. Here, the Apostle Paul says, “Don’t just be aware that you have eternal life; seize eternal life; take possession of it.” In other words, don’t let it be mere theoretical knowledge to you.
T
Someone may be singing, “I’ve got the life of God in me,” but he’s not walking in the consciousness of that life, nor acting like it. Often, he gripes, “You know, I’ve had this migraine headache that has been with me for 15 years.” No one who’s taken a hold of eternal life talks like that. Eternal life is the God-life; it’s incorruptible. It can’t be tainted, deiled or corrupted by sickness, disease, failure, death or the devil. It is the divine life. You might be praying, “Oh God, please take away this sickness from me,” but that will not change anything. God already did that in Christ Jesus. In God’s eyes, you’re already perfect, even though you might be going through trials, pain and diiculties. To Him, you are perfected in Christ Jesus. He sees you the way He sees Jesus. In His sight, there’s nothing wrong with you. Therefore, align yourself with His thoughts and visions, through the Word, and declare it. You’re an associate of the God-kind; the life and nature of God have been imparted into your spirit. Now that you’re born again, you have eternal life in you. It’s in your spirit now! Live in this consciousness and stand up to who you are in Christ.
CONFESSIONS I’m perfected in Christ Jesus; I refuse to accommodate any sickness, disease or pain in my body, because I have the life of God in me! I’ve taken hold of eternal life. It doesn’t matter the trials, pain and diiculties in the world, I am unperturbed because I live in, and by, the Word of God. My life is the revelation of the graces and realities of the Word! I live triumphantly over sickness, disease, Satan, and the systems of this world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. I’ve put on the new man, which is created in true holiness and righteousness. I’ve passed from death to life, from sin to righteousness, from sickness to health and from poverty to wealth. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:2). My body is infused with divine health because I have eternal life. Therefore, sickness, disease or death has no place in my life. The Spirit of God vitalizes my mortal body! The God-life in me destroys sickness, disease and inirmities! I’m healthy and strong! Only the nature of Christ–His beauty and glory–are manifested in my physical body. I am a member of His body, of His lesh, and of His bones; I am an heir of God and a joint-heir with Christ. In Him I live, move and have my being; sin and death have no power over me. The Lord has given His angels charge over me, to keep me in all my ways; no evil shall befall me. I’m the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus; I’m dead to this world but alive to God. My members are yielded to God as instruments of righteousness; therefore, sin or sickness has no dominion over my body. Hallelujah! The Healing School Magazine | 11
