BEHOLD THE MEDICINE OF LIFE!!! (PART 2)

“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.” - Hebrews 8:10

Yesterday, we started this discussion. Today, we shall look at other reasons we don’t seem to make progress in spite of God’s gift to us.
2. Wrong counseling: As stated earlier, getting out of a hopeless situation is not easy for anyone, especially with wrong advisers all about us.
To be a victim of wrong counseling is anti-progress, so we have to be extremely careful about whose advice we are subscribing to. One very unfortunate thing that has happened recently is that so many are doing what they are not cut out to do. We have so many charlatans all about us. Be very careful! In addition to that, I observed with pains that even some professional are half baked, and so cannot give sound professional judgment on very simple issues. Because of this lapse, so many simple and harmless issues have become complicated, leading to very serious financial or medical complications. For instance, this is why we have advised strongly that those who are ill should go to the hospitals, not to the church. The church is not a hospital. Prayers and Medicare should go together.


3. Lack of service: We are all tenants in the world, and the rent we pay is our service to humanity. Charity and expression of love are keys to human existence. We ought to give willingly of our time, comfort and money to serve the needs of others. It is by so doing that we are blessed in return. Your tithes and seed sowing yield more harvest when supported by works of charity. Jesus says it is better to save life on a Sabbath day, rather than turn a deaf air to a distress call on the Sabbath. Sabbath is meant for a man and not man for the Sabbath! This is a hard statement coming from the Master himself. Therefore, if you use your tithes to save a life, God is equally happy, and you will receive bountifully from God! The lives you have saved also belong to God! Remember, anything you do to others, you have done to Jesus and to God. As you give tithes to the church, remember to do direct works of charity as well. God bless you beloved!


Prayer
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, today I break away from every hopeless situation and condition. Father, your word is the medicine that I need! Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path. From today, I decree I am well guided and my victory is assured. AMEN.
