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

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
