“THE” Doctors Prescription
Author : Otshidile Onkabetse
Have you ever taken ill and needed some form of prescription from a Doctor and well he tells you take one tablet a day after meals and get some rest thereafter so the medication can really take effect? Yeah, I`m sure we`ve all had our fair share of a contagions rash, a headache or the common flu, measles, mumps and maybe even chicken pox. what if the Doctors prescription doesnt seem to take away the effects of the disease or condition you suffer from?
What if your body doesnt respond to the medication? beyond just what ‘A DOCTOR behind the counter can do for your body , is what a specialist can do for your soul and spirit. sometimes you may find yourself sick, not physically but emotionally and spitiually..... and ‘`THE`` Doctors prescription can heal deeper than just the ailments of the body, but also bring spiritual healing.
‘The` Doctors prescription is what i want to talk about. I gave an example about tablets, but in the figuritive sense..in the literal scence The Dorctor is our heavenly Father. let me try giving you a scenario that many people can relate to. Sometimes we go through tunnels of darkness in our voyages in life, some people get out the tunnel with a few scratches on the forehead some get into ICU and are heavily wounded, some never see the light at the end of the tunnel and some....those deemed “cats” because they seemingly have nine lives, well they make it out the tunnel with a smile on their faces...their clothes are burnt, they have scratches on their faces and their hair is all messed up and it looks like they`ve been through hell and back but yet they still manage a sincere and genuine smile..how is that?............how is it that we have the same make-up (flesh and blood) bet yet some can walk on burning coals and not get burnt?......(ponder).
It takes one who is fully awakened to their spiritual health to realise the strength that comes from leaning on God through tough times and rejoicing with Him in good times. and not merely relying on the physical things to make up for what lacks in the physical. the two are different and often contradict oneanother.
Its not that some people dont go through challenges, they do, but they know there is The Doctor, who is also the creator....who is also the Potter who made humans out of clay...the same God who knows their physical weaknesses and has already made provision for restoring the body and the spirit. so people who trust in Him have something to be hopeful for and the challenges they face seem insignificant compared to the promises God has for them.
There so much breath that an oxygen mask can give...so much numbness to pain that a tablet of aspirin can give and well there`s still so much a therapeutic cream can do to aching muscle...... there is yet so much that all of these Doctors prescriptions can do but heal the essence of our being....our soul.
They can heal the body but not our soul!sometime no matter how much effort you make to keep your body fit and healthy, all of that may mean nothing if ones spiritual self is empty and remains unattended to. Soul searching is a beautiful experience that man can ever do for himself. that is where you get to experience the deepest part of you where only the creator can abide.
Your spirit is the most powerful entity if I may call it... known to every individual. Getting in touch with your spiritual health is a gateway to good health! I mean it. Believe me you can do it all.... aerobics, vegetables, low calorie diet and lots of jogging and swimming classes.
But that will only bring fitness to your body not your spirit, you need to train your spirit in the same way you train your body, so it can be immune to all kinds of ailments... the world is your ailment..It will throw darts of sorrow your way, hurt, pain, humiliation, rejection, deprivation of any sort, poverty and the like and more impact will be on your spirit than on your body, because more often than never it takes a good meal to cheer up someone and a hot bath to relax but your spirit will be hurting unless you do something about it. think of your spirit as a punching bad, every strike from any challenge you face in life may leave your spirit deflated and needing a dose of air.
When your body is weak your spirit will get you through even if the cause might have struck your physical man it`s your inward man that brings true healing. You need to get up woman,you need to get up man....get up from your comfort zone, search within yourself for a moment forget the challengeds that seem to be weighing you down and surrender your weakness and allow yourself to partake of the creators strength which is made perfect in your weakness.
Fall on your knees, be selfish for a moment (bear in mind I said for just a moment, and this only refers to the context of dealing with what concerns you for a moment)and just learn to pray. that is what i do, not only because theres a heaviness or burden in my heart and spirit, but also that Im fully aware that God is who He says He is and that there`s shouldnt be a specific season to get in touch with him except that I am Human, He is God and He is the giver of life and Health.. Let Him be your Doctor and He is only a prayer away.His prescription is His word. I have my doctor`s prescription and it all comes from My heavenly Fathers love and His truth. find yours. ENDS
