Hypertension, Diabetes , Cancer, Aids...and other illness are the most common reason why people die young. No one has to blame but our own selves...If you does have an illness, will you will be able to conquer it or not?
I'd like to give a very powerful testimony about one of our brother in Christ in our Church. His name is Max Febraine Castilian, he is our Music Ministry Director and Leader. We call him brother Sony. He has a stage three cancer and at the same time a lung problem. He has undergone surgeries and was even anticipated by the doctors. According to his sister living here in the Philippines, the situation of brother Sony is very rare, that according the doctors he must have been in a bed rest situation. But GOD is so greater that I know. GOD is using brother Sony's circumstances to change people's soul. His Spirit is so Strong...yeah stronger than the flesh so that he was able to renew his mindset to still experience the unhindered fellowship with the FATHER and walk in HIS promises. If the flesh is weak but the Spirit is Strong, the Spirit carries it all the weak parts of the whole body and mind. Brother Sony is now stronger as it was and we all beleive in JESUS CHRIST name that brother Sony will live longer and be able to continue to do the work of the Holy Spirit.
A also have an Aunt in Manila, she is young as 50 years old, not married, and I call her Mama Aida. She was diagnosed of a Mayuma, hypertension and diabetes. Unfortunately she still not a believer and regularly going to the dead church. It feels a heart breaking everytime I see her suffering from her illness. I am still praying for her that GOD will give her the chances to find the Truth and be able to renew her strenght just as brother Sony. It makes me sad everytime I think of her and I love her. GOD will make a way.
Learn not to live by our feelings but to live by our faith in GOD's Word. GOD uses different circumstances to Trust HIM. If we can't, where are we now? GOD loves you so much and He believes in you, so you must beleive yourself too. Every circumstances in our lives wether good or bad just ask guidance from Him and He is in charge of all.
