From a video clip that a beloved sister in Christ tagged me few days ago in which a man of God said that an allusion that people sing in song and offer in prayer ie 'eni to ma daso fun eniyan ti orun re la n wo' translation 'whoever promise of sowing clothes for, you look at what he/she put on' the referred man of God said that such statement is a thought that is logic and philosophy of men without root in the bible, he cited of notable men of who had great challenges unresolved in their lives till they pass on to glory but God kept on using them during their live times.
From my knowledge in gospel, it is not the perfect will of God for ministers of the gospel to have unresolved issues in their lives and remain complacent. To sing or pray that eni ma daso fun eniyan ti orun re La n wo (interpretation, whosoever promise of giving you garment, you must look at what he/she put on) from my point view is producing one cause with strong reasons.
Isaiah 41:21
[21]Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.
Besides this what I read this morning gave me prompt to hand down this content that those who serve in vine yard of God in capacity of gospel messengers should not take failed health or unpleasant situations as a cross to bear unless they are specifically told by God that my grace is sufficient for you as was in the case of Paul the Apostle.
In the old testament which was shadow of things to come , God disallowed the seeds of Aaron with any blemish from offering sacrifices unto him.
Leviticus 21:16-24
[16]And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[17]Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
[18]For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
[19]Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
[20]Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
[21]No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
[22]He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
[23]Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
[24]And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
Should Christians withdraw from God's service because of blemishes?
My answer is capital no, what should be done by ministers of the gospel with blemishes either physical or physiological is challenging God in prayers that although I cannot withdraw from you service, if the children of Aaron with blemishes were not qualified to offer sacrifices to you in old dispensation, God disqualify this blemishes in my life , let your sun of healing shines on me to take my blemishes away to the glory of your name in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
