Why Am I Sick?

God is Love. 1 John 4:8. At creation, it was not God’s desire that man could fall sick, succumb under terrible pain of diseases and die. We can see this in His plan for the children of Israel, “And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I [am] the LORD that healeth thee”. Exodus 15:26.

As all manufacturers provide an owners manual for their creation/product, our Heavenly Father has also provided an owner’s manual for the human race(His creation). Unfortunately, when it comes to health, most humans, including those calling themselves Christians, for some reason feel that that is one area God does not cover, and they do not believe we need to consult the Word of God when it comes to our bodies and our health. HOWEVER, the Word of God says: “…Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeded out of the mouth of God.”(Matthew 4:4)

GOD IS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT HOW WE TAKE CARE OF OUR BODIES:

“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”(1 Corinthians 6:19-20). “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”(1 Corinthians 10:31)

HE TELL US:

“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.”(Deuteronomy 30:19)

OUR POOR CHOICES CAN BRING AN EARLY DEATH TO OURSELVES

Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy  time?”(Ecclesiastes 7:17)

HOW MANY YEARS DID GOD PROMISE US?

“The days of our years are threescore years and ten(70); and if by reason of strength they be fourscore(80) years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off…”(Psalms 90:10)

 IT IS ESTIMATED THAT ABOUT 9 OUT OF 10 PEOPLE DIE PREMATURELY(90% of disease is Related to  Diet & Lifestyle).

We’re not referring to accidents here. We’re talking about sickness & disease. IT IS NOT

GOD’S PROVIDENCE FOR US TO BE SICK AND DIE PREMATURELY… “The violation of physical law, with its consequent suffering and premature death, has so long prevailed that these results are regarded as the appointed lot of humanity; but God did not create the race in such a feeble condition. This state of things is not the work of Providence, but of man.

In our subsequent studies, we shall be looking into details on the organic laws of health that has been handed down to us from God. these are for the betterment of our health both in this life and the life to come.

Father in heaven, we are so much thankful on how much you have shown us your wondrous love by giving us principles of health, very solid indeed for the betterment of our life. Give us grace Lord to earnest follow them and do them to your Glory we pray through the might name of your dear Son. Amen
