2 Peter 2:10
“But chiefly them that walk after the
flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are
they, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.”
As people can be presumptuous in their
attempt to walk in faith, in the same vein some act unwisely. In the name of
exercising faith to be healed of eye trouble, some people have thrown away the
prescription glasses, stopped taking some
prescription drugs, etc. Now this is not faith but foolishness.
Now some may say this is calling things
that be not as though they are. No it is not! You keep using the prescribed
drugs or glasses until your body shows you don’t have need of them. Faith is
not strong will. It is laying hold on the will of God as revealed to you from
His word.
Where the word is not explicit, do not
give your own interpretation and then claim that interpretation and say you are
exercising faith. You are taking God for granted and overstepping due bounds. A
woman was in labour in a hospital to be delivered of a child. The doctor
advised that she should have the baby through caesarean operation because she
had a very small pelvic.
But she refused claiming God does not
approve of delivery by caesarean operation and she lost the baby.
