Don't be too spiritual

Happy wonderful Sunday to you all, I hope you all had a heavenly filled service? I am sure the answer is a yes. I have always been thinking about this topic for a long time now but it keeps slipping my mind fortunately for me today, I remembered and decide to write about it. I wouldn't want anyone to get me wrong on this topic, just follow me gradually and you will understand all I am about to say.

There is room for physical and there's also room for spiritual, don't let us mix the both of them together. It's good to be spiritually minded but don't overdo it, too much of everything is actually very bad cos one will eventually start walking out of it.

For instance, Mr A has a very serious headache, and instead of him to go to the hospital to meet the doctor and ask for whatever drug he can use but he chose to keep praying to God. I am not saying God can't do it and I am not trying to underestimate God but the necessary duties of man should be done before God can help one. Sorry to say, the prayer might not work cos the drug is there for you to use and before you know it, it will relieve your pain and you are fine.

So many cases of humans who died as a result of refusing to use drugs and choosing to pray. I heard the story of a particular man who was seriously sick and on the verge of about to die. His wife wanted to take him to the hospital or to a nearby chemist to get drugs for him but he refused. He said to his wife that she doesn't have faith in God and why will he doubt the power of prayer. He said he is not going anywhere nor using any drugs but he will keep praying to God and he will answer him.

He prayed truly but later kicked the bucket. He only left his wife to suffer and be a widow, he died and left children behind for the wife without any means of taking care of them. Could you believe this man died of malaria? His wife said his body will be slightly okay and warm during the day but can't really eat while he will feel cold at the night. All these are signs of someone that has malaria, it can be treated with just a drug from a chemist but he chose to pray when God didn't show him anything to pray about.

God will not come down to do our duty for us, it's our duty to be treated by doctors or get drugs to use when we fall sick, after getting those drugs or seeing doctors, then we can also pray to it but only praying without God's direction is a waste of prayer. Yes, I believe God can heal you and make you whole but not when you have failed to do your part.

Many people see everything that is supposed to be done physically to be spiritual. For example, a lady that doesn't know how to cook and doesn't know how to take care of the house or isn't a wife's material but she keeps praying for a good husband. Do you think God will answer such a prayer? Of course, it's a big NO because God will never want to punish a good man to marry such a lady. All the lady needs to do is to work on herself to be a better person before God can answer her prayer. Everything isn't spiritual at all, we need to apply physical exercise to some things.

NB: I didn't underestimate the power of prayer nor do I say God can't do and undo. He can but some things are expected to be done first before we can now think of talking to God.

Thanks for reading, I really do appreciate your effort and time.

Bye for now πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°.

Faith in prayer without works is dead. God will answer our prayers in the means that we are having or doing. God will heal us by using the doctors, the medicine and even nature to nake us well.

I once told about my experience about a dying man they brought to see a prophet, the prophet was not around and he told them to wait for him while the dying man was counting his last minutes. They waited for hours and the prophet didn't come...the man gave up. And they started crying 🀦

Very correct, most people these days see almost every ailment as a spiritual attack, instead of going to see a doctor, you'll see them speaking in tongues, fasting and praying...

I believe God put doctors out there, for a reason...he gave them brains to carry out surgeries and operations for a reason. We should pray, but still see a doctor, it's only when such cases are beyond the view of the doctor, that's when we can finally give fully into prayers; trusting God for a miracle.

Any small thing like this, you will see them going on a dry fast which can even lead to more severe cases, it's what eventually kills most of them.

This doesn't even have anything with spirituality. If a person doesn't do things that are within his control, he isn't spiritual but stupid. Spirituality means doing your best and leaving the rest for God.

It's you that know this, many don't know this. They keep praying for the slightest thing they could have just do away it.

That is why prayer alone will not work. God has mercy but as humans, we should be the one doing the hardwork. Just praying alone will not make your dreams come true.

Omo, things do happen for real, if God wanted to do everything himself, he won't have given humans the knowledge to know more in this life, I came across a story of a man that needed blood transfer for him in the hospital, he told his wife not to agree with it, and the wife told the doctor to go ahead and he was well, the moment he reach home after the successful operation, he divorced his wife, that she doesn't have faith.

I know someone that doesn't use drugs for even headache sef, it's prayer water everytime. It's not like it doesn't work but there are some steps we should take rather than just waiting for a miracle to happen.

My dad keeps complaining of this everytime πŸ˜‚. Some people will be in labor, instead of them to go to the hospital so as to have safe delivery, they'll go to the church. Does church have all the necessary equipments to use so as to have safe delivery? And we keep telling people these but they'll look at you like an unbeliever. It's all well and good

I swear, it's as if all the necessary things are in church. They will now start looking at such a person telling them the truth as a sinner.
