After his birth in 1813, Ethan Otis Allen became afflicted with a deadly disease known as consumption or pulmonary tuberculosis. As he grew up, it was believed he would eventually die from the incurable affliction, which kept him in a weakened condition.
In 1846 Allen attended a Methodist meeting in a country schoolhouse. At the close of the meeting, he gave his life to Christ and great joy filled his soul.
In the enthusiasm of his new-found joy, he requested for prayer for divine healing.
As the believers gathered together and prayed for him, Ethan Allen was instantly healed.
Allen went on his way rejoicing, amazed at the mighty power of God he had just witnessed in his life.
Soon he began praying for other sick people he came across and saw miracles of divine healing.
Thereafter, he felt the Lord calling him to a greater ministry of healing. Allen took to spending many days in fasting and prayer and soon began to exercise power to cast out the evil spirits behind people’s afflictions.
Due to dedicating his life to service in God’s Kingdom, Allen experienced greater blessings. From a poor farm boy, he rose to prominence as a Gospel minister who made a great impact on his generation. He was one of the first ministers in America to teach and practice divine healing.
And though he had been given up to die as a youth, he lived to a ripe old age of 89 years old.
Today, Ethan Otis Allen is recognized historically as the father of divine healing in America.

Jesus is committed to our divine healing and deliverance, so that we can become a channel of His blessings to the world. He paid a great price at Calvary to ensure that nothing and no one cuts short our lives prematurely, so that we can live to declare the works of the Lord in the land of the living.
At the Crucifixion Jesus was given 39 lashes on His back. Today, every disease – including those newly and recently discovered, fit into the 39 categories. What this means is that every disease known to man was represented in the 39 stripes that Jesus bore.

Isaiah 53:5 says that we are healed by His Stripes.

Jesus paid such a great price so that our healing and deliverance can be guaranteed always.
And as Jesus makes a difference in our lives, we are also to go forth and make a difference in our world.
As we have been watered, so are we to water others.
In God’s agenda everything is meant to work together for our good. The challenges we pass through sometimes are only preparation for our greater ministry. This is why we give thanks in everything. As we saw in the life of Ethan Otis Allen, his serious health challenges ended up birthing his healing ministry.
Likewise whatever challenges come our way will end up preparing us for greater heights of glory .
Adversity pushes us to accelerate the development of our greatest potential. This is why we have to keep trusting God in every situation and keep praising Him .Truly God is always faithful.
On this last day of April, let us rejoice and give thanks to God for His amazing goodness that we have seen so far.. As we keep walking in obedience to His will, surely He will take us to even higher levels of exploits and glory in the coming months.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for bringing me to the last day of April today. Please enable me to focus on serving You in every way I can and use every opportunity to be a blessing to humanity. As I do, I thank You for continually invading my life with Your glory in Jesus’ Name.
