“...Now, therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners…”
The story of the lepers involves ten despondent men who were ostracized from the society due to a contagious skin disease. It was believe in the custom of the old testament days that leprosy was associated with. The message of this narrative is still relevant today. They did not just sit on the face of life by reason of their affliction, nor did they resolve to live a life of limitations as lepers. They recognized that Christ the anointed One was in town and released their faith for a new beginning, and for restoration. It was not just enough to talk about new beginnings, prophesy and prayer change but remain in the same leprous state. Change has to be contended for (Jude 3). It is pointless and ignorance for any believer to stay in stagnation without recourse to the word of God. Once you have a manual in your hand, you can fix any equipment it accompanies. Once you have the word of God in your heart, you can fix any malady in your life. The ten lepers needed access into the life of God predestined for them and not the life of quarantine they were subjected to by their physical condition. Child of God, divorce, poverty, disease, any form of infirmity are all example of spiritual leprosy that must be rejected. Such conditions can place you in spiritual quarantine and choose the quality of people around you. Bear in mind that leprosy is a contagious disease. Don’t accept labels attached to your current experiences which if care is not taken will turn minor setbacks into permanent protracted problems. No matter where you are at presently whether emotionally, physically or spiritually, it is important to understand that you can “call” to the Lord and expect him to answer you (Jeremiah 33:3). God answers to pronounce a new spiritual order over your life. When He answers as He most surely will do, what are you going to do with your praise? Are you to offer your praise to man or to God who promises to deliver you in six troubles? (proverbs 5: 19). Jesus’ birth established a new order and so did his death. The lepers sought access to divine healing and He came into town. Your are today new creation in Christ with permanent access to recreate any situation in your life that is not lining up with the word of God. You have access to the eternal King of glory to birth a new order today; “For through him we both have access by one spirit to the Father” (Ephesians 2:18). When you get into your prayer closet today, remember to utilize the access you have to the Father given by Jesus’ precious blood and ensure the mind of Christ for you in the month if fully birthed.
