MESSAGE
From our
Bible reading for today, we see a positive relationship between our service to
God, what we eat and our health. Christians are supposed to
overflow in health, so much that when we touch sick people, they become healed.
Open Heaven Friday 9 December 2016:- It is time to overflow II
Many Christians joke with their service to God,
no wonder they fall sick. I thank God and give Him all glory for my life; ever
since I sold myself out to the service of God, He has been my only Doctor. I
remember vividly well how I used to battle with malaria helplessly, until one
day when I decided to enter into an agreement with God, I told Him to heal me
of malaria permanently and I will serve Him, and malaria has been a stranger to
me since then. When you serve God wholeheartedly, He will ensure that no
sickness stays in your body.
Another reason why some Christians are sick is
because of what they eat. Our Bible reading for today says that God will bless
your food and water and you will not fall sick, but many don’t ask God to bless
their food before eating it. Also, God cannot bless what He has not approved
of. Our Body is His temple, and anything that can destroy His temple is not
approved by Him. We must keep away from junk food, over eating, unhealthy
eating habits and the likes. God does not approve of food or drinks that are
injurious to our health. Eat more of fresh vegetables and fruits. Eat the right
quantity at the right time of the day. Stop overeating. Stay fit, exercise
regularly. Some Christians quote Apostle Paul in 1stTimothy
4:8
“For bodily exercise profiteth little: but
godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now
is, and of that which is to come.”
Yes it is true that bodily exercise profits a
little, however, that little must not be done away with. [Open Heavens
Devotional 2016] We must take care of God’s temple so that it can be available
for Him to use when He needs it.
Key Point’
Pay attention to your health, God prefers you
healthy than sick.
