TOPIC: GOD IS THE SOURCE OF KNOWLEDGE OF MEDICINE (2)
TEXT: GENESIS 1: 20-31
FRIDAY NOVEMBER 17TH
Key verse: Genesis 1:31 “And God saw everything that He had made and behold it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.”
You might ask, how did man discover medicine? How did traditional medicine evolve? How did they know that combining this leaf with that leaf will cure a particular sickness? Get the answer from the key verse, “For his God doth instruct him to discretion and doth teach him”. You may also ask how doctors learned to operate upon men and discover some things and rectify them. How did they know the functions of the various parts of the human body such that they could draw and label it? Let us come back to the answer, “For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him”.
How is it that in villages, there are people that know how to cure sicknesses? Let us go back to the answer, “For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.” The God who made this life knows the needs of life, hence He reveals solutions to people's problems or ailments, instructs people, tells them, and demonstrates how it can be handled. This can happen in a dream. In a dream, they may see somebody perform this. Sometimes it may be a voice that may speak to them. Sometimes, it is just instinct. The mind may be able to imagine some things and just see the realities of those things. As they say “I am going to work it out and see.” To their surprise, it works!
Why do we think that God created this world and it is Satan that is managing it for God and that everything that is happening is Satan? You always warn people of herbal medicine to be careful of Satan. Why do you think like that? Do animals; sheep, goats, cows, dogs, chickens, and others get sick? Who cures them? How are they cured? They chew medicinal leaves. Even the animals know how to treat their sicknesses. Let us go back to the same scripture. “For its God doth instruct it to discretion, and doth teach it”.
Thought for the day: See God in everything.
Song for the day: From the rising of the sun to its going down…
Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 16; Hebrews 12
