“Is there no balm in Gilead, Is there no physician there? Why then is there no recovery For the health of the daughter of my people?” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭8:22‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ http://bible.com/114/jer.8.22.nkjv The people’s prophets may be primarily concerned about the delivery of God’s words to the people, they are expected to be equally concerned about the distribution of God’s welfare packages to the people.

Real recovery reflects all-round prosperity, that is, in all things and be in health, just as the soul prospers.
