You:
Sickness and disease is a blessing in disguise ? Then why go to hospital ? Trying to get out of blessing ? John666: Bro, the blessing in the sickness is not the sickness it self, but what you do with it and how your deal with it. { For example, if you look at the author of 'amazing grace', wrote the song while in deep pain and distress, (if I remember right, it was the loss of his child ? ), and see the blessing to all of us today ? } I would say that these are windows of oppetunities we get from God to mould parts of our lives. It is only the wise person who can recognize it. Bro, this does not mean we don't try to get out of the pain or sickness, because God has the timing of everything in His hands. you: Whay did God put Deut 28 and Deut 8:18 there..it says some thing about God giving us the power to get wealth. John666: In context, you should also read v19. 19 ""It shall come about if you ever forget the LORD your God and go after other gods and serve them and worship them, <*20> I testify against you today that you will surely perish. Do you think God will do this if you ever forget Him?? If you say, yes, then I'd say you can take v18 of Deut. If you say no, then you cannot take Duet 8:18 to hold for you. You see, God said it in the same breath and if v18 applies to you, so shall v19. If so, be really fearful.......... You see bro, you cannot pick and choose verses from the Bible as we want. There are proper ways of interpreting them. You: My Word I use is strong ..yes I know...Jesus do not have much patience with religious folks too... John666: One thing, Jesus did not Sin, He had no Sin in Him. You are mere man, so don't try to act like Him without having the inside capacity. His strong words used are justified, He can accuse anyone. He owns everything ever made. You cannot. You: Like I say..talk so much rot about holiness and the word of God and the fruits of it ? zero.. others many be intimated by your so called " bible knowledge", but Not me.. John666: You talk about fruits ? Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; gentleness, kindness, patience, love, and self control...... Please keep in check those because your posts are full of nasty words like: stupid, nuts, dunghill, ..etc... And, about your question of your MNC sales friend, Let him first understand where all things come from ......and let him trust God for all provisions...Why panic ? If your trust is in God, will you worry even if your head roll ?????? Does he trust God only if he can meet the target ?? Also, God blesses even if we do not ask........ Look at all those times when you never asked for something but was surprised to get .....or when you realize that God is talking to you ? God is so good that He even blesses unbelievers with His general grace. -John666.
