GOD'S HEALING THROUGH FAITH AND THE USE OF MEDICINE

God's blessings shall follow you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: GOD'S HEALING THROUGH FAITH AND THE USE OF MEDICINE

TEXT: ROMANS 14:1-4 

WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 1st

Key verse: Romans 14: 22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. 
It is essential to feed Christ's believers with knowledge and understanding of Biblical truth for their righteousness, peace, and eternal life. It is clear from the scriptures that divine healing through faith in God's word and the name of Jesus is one of the ways God heals the sick and delivers the oppressed but God also heals through the use of medicines, conventional or herbal. It is not according to scripture to ban the use of medicine by Christians as is done in some denominational churches. Many people in the churches of Christ who profess Christianity are not really Christians; they still live in sin. To ask such ones not to receive medical treatment but to use faith only is to direct them to a God that does not know them and a God they do not know to receive blessing from Him. They are not children of God. 
Again, some in the church who are believers may not be able to generate faith in times of ill health. They cannot be forced to do so. The all-wise God provided an alternative way to deliver His people from perishing due to a lack of faith in divine healing. These are able to exercise faith in God to heal them as they receive medical treatment. Let every man operate according to the measure of faith he has in God. Getting healing from God by faith does not guarantee eternal life. Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. Getting healing through the use of medicine does not disqualify the Christian from eternal life.  Take time to listen; be fast to hear. When we are teaching on health tips and the use of medications, do not say that you have no need for them or that you have strong faith in God. There is the place of faith and there is the place for knowledge. Add to your faith and knowledge.

Thought for the day: Let there be moderation or self-control in everything. 

Song for the day: I have decided to follow Jesus

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 31-32; Titus 2

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
