CAMPAIGN AGAINST SOME CHRONIC DESEASES

WHO COMMANDS BAD AND GOOD THINGS TO HAPPEN?

“Nobody can say something and have happen, unless the Lord orders it to happen. God Most High commands both good and bad things to happen. No per son alive can complain when the Lord punishes him for sins.” (Lamentations 3:37-39)

“Son of man, look forward Sidon and speak for me against that place. Say,’the Lord my Master says these things: “’ I am against you, Sidon! Your people will learn to respect me! I will punish Sidon. Then people will know that I am the Lord. Then they will learn that I am holy and they will treat me that way. I will send disease and death to Sidon, and many people inside the city will die. The sword out the city will kill many people. Then they will know that I am the Lord.” (Ezekiel 28: 21-23)

”After seven days, the word of the Lord came to me. He said, “Son of man, I am making you a watchman for Israel. I will tell you about bad things that will happen to them and you must warn Israel about those things.

If I say,’this bad man will die!’ then you must warn him! You must tell him to change his life and stop doing bad things. if you don’t warn that person ,then he will die. He will die because he sinned.

But I will also make you responsible for his death! Why? Because you did not go to him and save his life.

Maybe you will warn a person and tell him to change his life and stop doing bad things. if that person refuses to listen to you ,then that person will die . He will die because he sinned. But you warned him, so you saved your own life.

Or maybe a good man will stop being good. I might put something in front of him that causes him fall. He will start to do bad things, so he will die. He will die because he is sinning and you did not warn him. I will make you responsible for his death. And people won’t remember all the good things he did.

But if you warn the good person and tell him to stop sinning , and he stops sinning ,then he won’t die . Why? Because you warned, him and he listened. In this way, you saved your own life.”(Ezekiel 3 v16-21.)

GOD IS THE LAST SOLUTION

Let us check and see what we have done then let us turn back to the Lord.

Let us lift up our hearts and hands to the God of heaven. Let us say to him,

“We have sinned and have been stubborn.

Because of this, you haven’t forgiven us.

You wrapped yourself with anger.

You chased us.

You killed us without mercy!

You wrapped yourself in cloud.

You did that so that no prayer could get through.

You made us like garbage and dirt to the other nations.

All of our enemies speak angrily to us.

We have been frightened. We have fallen into a pit.

We have been hurt bad! We have been broken!”

My eyes flow with streams of tears! I cry because of the destruction of my people!

My eyes will flow without stopping! I will keep on crying! I will continue to cry until you look down and see us, Lord! I will continue to cry until you see us from heaven! My eyes make me sad, when I see what happened to the girls in my city. (Lamentations 3:40-51).
