Anyone that has been under the tutelage of Rev Sam would know that he is very practical, he does mot tend to over spiritualize things. <br /><br />Sin is the root of all evil, not your personal sin but the sin at the fall of Adam, very man afterwards was born into the sin due to the curse. Jesus came to take us back to the right way of living, we are no longer under the curse. But the devil is not sitting down and folding his hands while we get our deliverance. Therefore we have believers who are still bondage because they have not appropriated what the Word of God has for them. In the beginning there was no ill health in the agenda, either mental, physical or emotional, it was sin that brought that in. So as we know Gd more and what His word says about it, we begin to walk in the fullness that he has created us. That is what Rev Sam meant and not the sin you may have committed in your past.Chunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352385313518803988.post-67838255764479175542016-10-31T12:33:31.871+01:002016-10-31T12:33:31.871+01:00Hmmm......no comment!Hmmm......no comment!TheLagosShopper(Everything sold in lagos markets/popular UK brands!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09465151835503776084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352385313518803988.post-47513691710617622792016-10-31T11:24:30.368+01:002016-10-31T11:24:30.368+01:00What he meant, is that sin nature separates man fr...What he meant, is that sin nature separates man from God, and that u cannot be in a good relationship with God and suffer any kind of ailment cos Jesus has paid the price for us. He said and i quote "Healing is not the miracle, but not falling sick is the real miracle". That we allow the devil sow evil thoughts in our mind n lose focus on God, thereby losing our minds. God will not give us a burden he knows we cannot handle, but the devil will magnify it, so that we feel forsaken. Once our focus shifts from God, we tend to lose all the calmness around and then panic, anxiety etc sets in, which might lead to mental breakdown.Kool n kalmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03013423318672370511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352385313518803988.post-33400028277663362822016-10-31T08:34:53.350+01:002016-10-31T08:34:53.350+01:00so what's controversial about the write, is it... so what's controversial about the write, is it seeking medical help or that not all mental health are spiritual<br /><br />Make I move jo Otaswifey chat me up for your classy traditional marriage aso - oke at the most affordable ratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06031428531755867289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352385313518803988.post-77310013122023628532016-10-31T08:08:43.317+01:002016-10-31T08:08:43.317+01:00Enter your comment...Y'all think mental illnes...Enter your comment...Y'all think mental illness is when somebody goes mad abi? you dnt knw der r lots of mental illness like depression? some pple get depressed to the extent of thinking suicidal. you think it's nt caused by sin?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352385313518803988.post-69999497045228197352016-10-31T06:44:36.925+01:002016-10-31T06:44:36.925+01:00I can so relate to what he wrote besides the fact ...I can so relate to what he wrote besides the fact that he said sin is the cause of mental illness. My cousin is schizophrenic and when this problem started I would tell my mum to tell her sis who is a senior medical practioner to give her medical help. But did they listen? No this people were doing dry fasting up and down, if they had sought medical counsel at the early stage it wouldn't have progressed into what it is now. Now she experiences all the symptoms even that horrible catatonia, and I will continue to say that being overly religious was one of the things that triggered this illness. Back then everything we did then as kids was sinful I was told I was possessed, told my thoughts were sinful, We had a very strict religious upbringing so much that it made me socially inept and eventually lead to low self esteem, my case of low esteem was so bad that I would hear voices and be so depressed I wouldnt even want to go out so people dont see me.This I have realized is how schizophrenia starts I refused to tell anyone, that one year was the worst of my life, but I fought it and I won, but it affected my result that year, I read a lot of books during this period and with time my mind started to get strong. Please people if someone you love has traces of mental illness get medical help as soon as possible forget prayer houses and religion, even the bible says faith without work is dead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352385313518803988.post-10800048889810832242016-10-31T05:25:13.412+01:002016-10-31T05:25:13.412+01:00You're very right, that's all I can see al...You're very right, that's all I can see also Lillysimplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04621896101686061248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352385313518803988.post-84231044134783162342016-10-31T01:55:23.063+01:002016-10-31T01:55:23.063+01:00Also blessed one, people are not medical professio...Also blessed one, people are not medical professionals, discuss your panic attacks with a specialist.

Please make sure they see a good psychiatrist. Medication and psychotherapy is probably the best form of treatment for them. Please nobody is attacking them spiritually. <br /><br />Also, Bipolar is probably inherited from tour family. Mental illness is mostly caused by a change in chemical balance in your brain and is caused by a trigger.<br />And people with it should not be stigmatised. There are lot of different mental illnesses that a lot of people suffer from and don't even know. <br /><br />While there are spiritual forces. Please people should endeavour to exhaust the medical options first because in most cases it is not spiritual. <br />N.B: Also, a lot of people mistake mental illnesses, neurological illnesses and behavioural disorders as one. While they are closely related and sometimes occur simultaneously, then.

It is good to quench the fiery dart of the wicked as the Bible admonished in Eph.6 and 2 corr10:4. But to said that sin is the cause of mental health is subject to argument. Mental health is partly hereditary and sometimes result from the pressure, disappointment, frustration and such things we face daily. Some people are born with mental illness and the symptoms increase as they grow, So would one said it's because of their sin? No! His view would have made more sense had he emphasized more on the solution like he fairly pointed out that an individual struggling with mental illness should turn to God as his/her healer than succumbing to the suggestion of their mind which is why the illness set up/linger. The human mind is very fragile and so plastic. It accepts and works with the information being comes in without putting into account whether those information are right or wrong, its going to work with it anyway, Because the individual entertains those suggestions, ill opinions about themselves, society, people, work, relationship, diseases etc. Meanwhile in reality those thoughts are inexistent. However, the implication is that when you subconsciously come back to your senses and you start denouncing those vices as listed above, some part of your mind would have get used to its usual way of thoughts and actions and would start fighting back trying to pull you back to the cycle. So that is why is being said that he who can control his thoughts can control everything! So Mental health is an issue of the mind. Try much everyday under prayer and meditation on the scripture to annul all those bad thoughts. Proclaim your victory, label your thoughts and don't succumb to it when they arise.
