God has revealed the demon that causes most diseases and illnesses: Most
Christians agree that diseases and sicknesses are works of the devil.
How to fight this devil is where most Christians have not fully agreed
on a strong consensus. Most protestants and evangelicals believe that
this devil and its demons must be fought through hours of prayers in
churches or in their houses or prayer centers, with prolonged fastings
and by special services for breaking curses and 'removing
demons and evil spirits' in services where people are pinned down,
forced to make certain screams, slapped by the preacher and many other
things are done to them as we often witness on our screens. The
congregations that promise to win this DEMON that way are normally full
to capacity. While prayers are good, and the spiritual devil and demons
real, there is this other DEMON that God has revealed, and we must turn
our focus to understanding its operations so that we can slay it.
Some major cause of diseases are:
-poverty - The foods that people eat or lack of it, the shelters they
live in, sanitation - how people deal with their urine, feces, the water
they use to wash utensils, clothes, their bodies, etc, whether they
live in areas with open sewages like is the case in slums and poor
estates, the water they drink, -social exclusion- that may cause mental
illnesses,
- lack of education -on various matters and which makes
people also lack employable or self job-creating skills to improve one's
living standards - hence poverty and its consequences,
-
unemployment - or and lack of skills to employ oneself, and lack of
capital (finances) to make it happen. Which in return reduces
opportunities for better health.
- The peoples' occupations. This also affects their health.
-The environments we live in
- Whether there is peace or conflicts in the country or community etc.
Christians of sound mind will agree that yes, the things mentioned above have an impact on health. And there are many more like them. The
chief DEMON behind them (and this is the demon that was revealed) is
POOR GOVERNANCE. Christians should start to be interested in how governance is done in all spheres that affect them - in church, local area, national government, etc. They should resist all forms of corruption, and be interested in policies, laws, and provisions of the constitution and how they are implemented. They should put the right
leaders in positions of authority demand that they deliver services
befitting to be rendered to the children of God.
