What No One Seems To Be Telling Us About The Wise Men In The Bible

It is nearly impossible to have anyone narrates the story of the birth of Jesus Christ without them mentioning the part where the wise men gave gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to him. Surprisingly, these wise men are often mentioned in this exciting story because of their personality status in the society and level of humility whilst ignoring their relationship with the Almighty God.  In case you haven't heard this before, let me state it here categorically that these wise men never had no good relationship with the Almighty God.  Does that sound shocking or absurd to you? I guess it does.  Hold on to me... That statement above about the wise men in the Bible not having a good relationship with God is a pure fact from the Bible and not my own opinion.  Let me expatiate this fact, from the details given in the Bible, so as to clear your doubt. You know once people come across the fact that the wise men gave Jesus gifts and worshipped him, they assume these wise ...

Two Biblical Ways of Healing Any Sick Person Using The 12 Apostle’s Method.



 “And He called the twelve to Himself, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them power over unclean spirits.”


Mark 6:7


In the verse above, Jesus sent out his twelve disciples to preach so that sinners can repent and turn to God. When they were about to leave for the mission, he gave them power over devilish spirit. Then, he instructed them to preach and cast out Demons.


He never told them to heal the sick. However, they did because they met sick people on their journey.


The method they employed when they healed the sick is worth studying as they got spectacular result from it. The method was simply to anoint the sick and pray for them. 

 "And they went out, and preached that men should repent. And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them."

Mark 6:12-13

According to the Bible verse above, Mark testified to the report that the early apostles anointed the sick and heal them.


So, the two Biblical methods are simply to anoint the sick and pray for the healing of him or her while you lay your hand on the person. Mind you, only prayer made out of faith can bring about a speedy healing.


Apostle Paul learnt this method from the early apostle. When Paul wanted to heal the father of Publius in Acts 28:8 — , he laid his hand on him and prayed for his healing.


Also, James, the brother of Jesus who wrote the book of James, highlighted the same practice — in James 5:14…“Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.” — of anointing a sick person and, thereafter, praying for him or her. 


In addition, he said if the prayer is made in faith, it will heal the sick, who became ill as a result of sin.


Mind you, if there is nobody, around, who can make a prayer of faith, an elder in the church should be consulted as rightly stated by James, the brother of Jesus.


Elders in the church, due to their years in the church, can pray effectively without entertaining any form of doubt.


 Without faith, it is impossible to please God; also, without faith, it is impossible to heal the sick, no matter the amount of anointing oil one pours on him or her.
