What Kill These Set Of People, Faith; Self Confidence, Ignorance Or God? by Fammoboy10(m): 11:27am On Jan 30, 2019

A man of faith was trapped by flood in a three story building. When the water was very small, certain swimmers (rescuers) came to the house to offer him a rescue hand, but our man on the line of faith refused saying God will deliver him. The water rose, He moved to the 2nd floor. Some set of rescuers came again this time around in a canoe, offers to rescue him again, but on the ground that God will save him refused. And lastly the water rose to the last immensely, and our man was moved to the last floor, rescuers came again, but this time around in an helicopter. Our man refused again saying God will save him. Unfortunately, the flood arose and overwhelmed the house and He died.

When He got to heaven, He asked God, why He didn’t save Him.
God told Him, the rescuers that came for him, the canoe and the helicopter that came to save him, who did you think send them.

Likewise is the story of a young woman (name withheld) who was very sick unto the point of death. Her Pastor told her she needs not medication but with faith God will heal her. At many points in time did her husband bring medications to her, of which she frankly refused saying God will heal her. Her health continues to deteriorate and she eventually went to an early grave on the ground that God will save her.

THINK ABOUT IT: What kill them? Is it Faith, is it Ignorance/self-confidence, is it God who neglected them?.
Why did Paul asked Timothy to add little wine because of his illness? 1 Timothy 5:23

A SHORT NOTE:
DO NOT BE IGNORANT OF THE DEVICES OF THE DEVIL:

Many are ignorant of the fact that; what they called faith (based on the foregoing) is not really faith in every sense of it, rather, it is simply tempting God. Matthew 4:7 …Thou shall not tempt the Lord your God.

Even then on the ground of tempting God, we still see God working in every possible way to deliver them from such erroneous premonitions. Take for instance the man that was trapped in a house by flood, of which help came to him at every point in time; look at the woman that her husband tries at many point in time to get her treated with medications etc., one would see that the understanding that they lacked was that; the God they relied upon has been the one sending help to them; He has been putting up to them the way out through the various helps that comes their way. Unfortunately, they were so blinded to see it. And that is true of many people; who has on the ground of faith destroyed their own life. The truth indeed is that; people perish, because of lack of Knowledge Hosea 4:6a. We see empty pride here; for it takes just a little step of faith out of the house and perhaps a lit sip of medication to set them free.

GOD HAS SET BEFORE US AN OPEN DOOR (Revelation 3:cool

God, the bible says every good and perfect gifts comes from Him… James 4:17; hence He is never in the business or acts of neglecting His own People; remember Jesus saying; I will not leave you comfortlessly, I will come to you (John 14:18).

Hence no matter how grave or how great a situation may be God will always set an open door of opportunity and breakthrough. But one thing is God setting it, another is we seeing, understanding, and exploring that which God has set before us.

IT TAKES HUMILITY TO UNDERSTAND THE WAYS AND THE THINGS OF GOD” James 4:6.

Finally, Not until we come to the end of our pride-like-faith; and seek in humble submission or ask in deep and devoted reference; one may never receive the understanding and exploring grace; (For God giveth more grace to the humble James 4:6) neither will enlightenment as to see the path to take comes to us.

ND: Faith without work is dead: A step out of the flooded house and a little sip of medication would have gotten them out of the messy roadway to death.

Think about it

Grace to you.

Wonderful one here. God bless you.

Let me add this...

Jesus "fled" Galilee to Egypt because Herod was killing babies of his age.

Joseph did no disobey the instruction to run simply because Jesus is the son of God even as a child.

Obedience is key and humility is necessary.

Wow... Jesus must have grown up a lonely boy. All of the other kids were killed because of Him. Thank God for the Egyptians.

Joseph sounds like really timid and sheepish fellow. This is the same man who believed his Virgin woke up pregnant.

Poor Jesus.... What a harsh introduction to life...

This is quite true, according to Christianity. It favors herdthinking and submission to all authority as divine command.

Convince any man to obey without thinking, to see humility and godliness in docility, and you will build you a wonderfully ignorant zombie army.

I didn't expect less from you.

It is actually a spiritual matter and you are blind to it.
