As a Christian should I take the Medicine?

 

Mantosh Giri




Taking medicine is not a SIN, but we should trust in God, not Medicine. All the knowledge comes from God. I strongly believe that healing comes from God. If it is God’s will we can get divine heal without any medicine. If you see in the good Samaritan story (Luke 10:25-37), Jesus appreciated the “Samaritan” man and said about him good “neighbor”, because he cares that victims with mercy, and medicines. In Verse 34-35 says, “He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.” Verse 37 says “Go and do likewise.” Medicine should not take, teaching is wrong teaching. Medicine not taking is a foolish act, but yes if you have a strong belief, the Holy Spirit will lead you about all things, it cannot apply to all. We should not test our God on it. But according to the situation, God will answer our prayer, through medicine, doctor, donor, helpers, surgery, work of healing, and self-discipline (Exercise or Changing lifestyle). Sometimes psychical illness can be a good testimony, after divine healing, sometimes we become closer to God with prayer & meditation & repentance, sometimes it helps us to understand others pain, and makes us humble, sometimes we could see the power of God in our weakness, etc. Whenever we become sick, we must rebuke it in the name of Jesus, and claim the divine healing through our prayers. It is not mean that we will not do anything, we must use our knowledge. If anyone is sick, we must pray, and help them. Anyone sick or Die due to sickness, we should not criticize them that because of sin. in spite of doing that, we must help, pray for that family, and comfort them with the word of God. We must respect the will of God; because our days on this earth uncertain.
