FAITH OR FOOLISHNESS

I just concluded a little research I started about two months ago, and I am really shocked at the findings.  By the Grace of God, I have been opportune to travel to different parts of my country and this gave me the opportunity to learn little about different culture.  I have also been opportune to meet great minds who I have in one way or the other, shared from their experience and knowledge.  Meeting these persons, have also shaped my understanding about certain important issues of life. A lot of Christians act in a way that is questionable and if such behavior or action brings about a negative result, God takes the blame.

Most times, when we hear of the death of someone, many are quick to asking God why. A lot of persons even go ahead to blame God, some blame the old people in their villages; some link it to some sort of witchcraft manipulation.  There are a lot of cases I been studying for a while now, but I would love to share very few with you my wonderful readers, to know what you think of them; please carefully read these stories.

“A pastor had a son, and it was the believe of his church that they don’t go to the hospital, in other words, they don’t take drugs. His only son fell ill, and he refused to give this little child a proper medical attention needed, holding to the fact that its against his church doctrine. This little boys condition got worse, and the father took him to the church laid him at the altar and was praying, after a while, the child died. His wife who has been begging him to permit her take the child to the hospital angrily left her husband (divorce).”

My dear readers, is this FAITH OR FOOLISHNESS?

“A young boy was beaten by a snake, instead of his mum taking him to the hospital; she applied anointing oil on the leg and began to pray. She commanded all sort of fire from her own heaven and casted her own witches and wizard away. The young boy died before the dawn of another day. After everything, the family claimed it wasn’t ordinary”

COULD THIS BE AN EXERCISE OF FAITH OR THE PRACTICE OF FOOLISHNESS?

“A young man woke up one morning feeling feverish. He ignored this feeling and didn’t do anything about it…. I guess this must be faith too. When he got back from work, this feeling continued but this time very serious. All he kept saying was… I can’t be sick. He managed to drag himself to work the next day and a colleague asked him to go to the hospital but he refused claiming that he wasn’t sick. He continued to manage himself despite all he goes through at night. This continued for like two weeks until one day he began to convulse seriously. But thank God there were neighbors around who rushed him to a hospital. He survived it though, the rest is history………………….”

IS THIS FAITH OR FOOLISHNESS?

I would leave you to answer this for yourself with your own reasons for whatever answer you give. I will write to you all on this matter….. Share your views.
