If you read the story in John 9, you will read about the blind man whom Jesus healed. This story speaks volumes because although Jesus had the power to heal right away, he did not. He made the healing a process and he gave the man responsibility to make sure that it took place.
When people see sick people they automatically assume that the person or someone attached to him sinned. In this text Jesus said that it was no one who sinned but that God wanted to show his power and miraculous nature.
Jesus did not say that he was healing the blind man but that God would heal him through Jesus. In this text we learn that things do not just happen. That there is a process to healing.
There is also a proper timing. Jesus said that it was daytime. Nothing could be done at night. Then he broke down the process.
First, Jesus spat on the ground and made clay with his saliva.
Secondly, Jesus anointed his eyes with the clay.
Last but not least, he sent the man to go and wash in the pool of Siloam.
The blind man went, washed, and came back seeing.
In our health, we are commanded to do the same. We have a process to follow.
Health is not something just given, but something worked for.
We have to first know what is for us and what God created for us in particular.
Secondly, we have to get access to those things that serve as medicine to our body.
Last but not least, we have to eat it and exercise.
The same way that Jesus provided the clay, everything we need has been provided for us but we have to go out, get it, eat it, be disciplined, then and only then will we walk in complete healing.
God is no favor of man and he wants us all healed and the same way he can heal a blind man is the same way he can heal our bodies from obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, and anything else that has plagued our bodies.
So, go through the process and stop expecting a quick fix.
