- Some people are always
"sick"(psychosomatic)
- Some people use illness as
their excuse to stay away from God
- Some people are more prone to
illness because they are seldom exposed to germs
Very few
employers could afford to have their employees stay home every time they get
sick. Families would suffer incredibly if every bread winner stayed home every
time they got sick. Satan will help you get sick if that will keep you from the
house of God.
For years I woke
up sick every Sunday. It was the pressure of the ministry I was about to have
to do. It was Satan's way of trying to prevent me from preaching. One Sunday I
woke up complaining about not feeling well. Anita told me that I was sick every
Sunday. She was right; I had just not put it together in my brain. From that
day on I began rebuking the feelings of illness on Sunday and ignoring them.
Eventually I stopped feeling sick on Sundays.
I beg God that people get spiritually tough enough to come to church instead of letting illness keep them home.[1]
