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

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
