God, not Zmapp, cured me — Former American Ebola patient
In another article, “Religion, Ignorance and Public Health”, by Dr. Cosmas Odoemana, a medical practioner, who wrote from Terafema.blogspot.com and published in the Guardian of Friday, August 29, 2014 says that, “Ignorance is a scourge. It helps propagate and perpetuate diseases. It is ignorance that has helped spread the ravaging Ebola virus in some West African countries helped by some traditional practices”.
Spiritual ignorance can be deadly too. God says, my people
are destroyed for lack of knowledge. It is also instructive that Jesus in
Mathew 15:6 accused the religious leaders for making the commandment of God to
be non effective by their traditions.
The book of Leviticus in the Bible is the first documented
health code in the world. The book talks about cleanness and uncleanness (Chapters
11- 16) regarding personal and community responsibilities in cleanliness of the
body, sexual health attitude, that we should protect against contagious diseases
and lepers should be isolated. In the context of the Old Testament, these
regulations were perceived as necessary for holy living.
In spite of these physical, natural laws, Jesus Christ who
came to fulfill the law healed lepers when they came to Him for healing. He
subsequently referred them to present themselves to the priest. (Mathew
8:11-4). Some biblical scholars believe that at
this time, the priest had physical healing knowledge.
Could Ebola be more contagious than leprosy? The book of Deuteronomy
28:61 captures deadly diseases that were bound to come as a result of not obeying
the word [voice] of God. “Also every sickness, and every
plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the Lord bring
upon thee, until thou be destroyed”.
Full Ebola Gear.
Pastors and Doctors need to exercise discretion in these matters. The individuals should be allowed to exercise their choices based on their convictions and level of faith. In all cases Jesus demanded for faith for healing.
Miracles do happen every day in living churches across the
world where the “life and spirit” in God’s word are activated.
However, more than ever, the time for a much
vital Christianity that verifies the practical literal truth of the God’s Word has come.
“Crowds listened intently to what he[Philip] had to say
because of the miracles he did.
Many evil spirits were cast out, screaming as they left
their victims, and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed.
So there was much joy in that city”(Acts 8:6,7).
