Why are Christians with sickness?
If a voyager in a ship took a ticket, the food needed for all the days of the sailing, will be served in ship itself by the ship management. Without this cognizance, an old lady was suffering hunger for 10 days. How pathetic is the situation? The woman who was supposed to have shown the journey ticket to the concerned authorities and enjoyed the food. Is it not the ignorance that pushed her to this situation?
The Lord says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge (Hos 4:6). It is really a regrettable truth that many people who call themselves as children of God, don’t know what are all the blessings, does God have for them. There are hundreds of genuine promises in the Bible about divine healing. Can God be accused, if they read it without concentration and absorb nothings for them? God is so anxious and says, “I have written for him the great things of My law, but they were considered a strange thing (Has 8:12).
There are people even today who wander for ghee when they have butter in their hands. A godly man says to God, Your word I have hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you” (Ps 119:11). How can a person who does not know the word, will abide in it? Some Christians are indoctrinated with traditional teachings more than the statutes of God.
Subsequently, they land up into complete commotion. God says, He who despises the word will be destroyed. But he who fears His commandments will be rewarded (Prov 13:13). For this reason many are still sick. Without faith, it is impossible to please God (Heb 11:6). How shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? (Rom 10:14). Some Church leaders suppress the truth in unrighteousness. Because of this, those poor believers are affected.
Some believers quickly forget God, if they have no problems in their life. Maybe the Lord retains them as sick for them to be in God. The word of God says that the people who don’t forgive others cannot be healed (Jam 5:16).
