Apostle Femi Lazarus addressed the critical need for balance between faith and medical intervention, urging his congregation to take responsibility for their health. He, emphasizes the importance of recognizing when to seek medical help.
Apostle Lazarus brought up a troubling trend where individuals refuse necessary medical treatment, citing instances where women have declined cesarean sections due to cultural beliefs. “Some believe that if they undergo a C-section, they are not true ‘Hebrew women,’” he explained, warning that such mindsets can lead to tragic outcomes for both mothers and children. “Unbelievers look at this and say it’s stupid,” he remarked, stressing that God is not angry with those who seek medical assistance.
Apostle criticized the misinterpretation of medical reports as “evil” and encouraged his audience to view them as opportunities for action. “What you have to prevent, what you have to avoid, avoid, and what you should take, take,” he advised, addressing the importance of addressing health issues rather than ignoring them in the name of faith.
Apostle’s sermon ended with a call to personal responsibility, encouraging devotees to plan for their health proactively. He urged them to incorporate healthy habits like drinking water, exercising, and reducing soda intake. “We pray for long life, but we also need to plan for it,” he stated, reinforcing the idea that faith and practical action should go hand in hand.
Apostle’s message reminds believers that taking care of their bodies is a vital part of honoring God’s blessings in their lives.
