Bible Reading: 3 John 2
Memory Verse: For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. 1 Timothy 4:8 (NKJV)
God’s servant further wrote: It is possible to live sickness-free but this will only happen when believers take full responsibility for their health by utilising the great resource of divine healing responsibly. The same power that heals can support health, much more. You cannot talk about health without talking about taking proper care of your body. The body is the vehicle of kingdom assignment. A living body is the license a believer has to operate in the land of the living. If the body dies, kingdom work on earth stops!
Let’s consider the following points:
1. Treat your body well; after all, it is the temple of God. When Paul said, “But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.” (1 Corinthians 9:27, NKJV); he wasn’t advocating for asceticism or body-mutilation: he was admonishing believers to take full advantage of the grace of God in the place of discipline for the effective execution of kingdom business.
2. Get enough rest (no matter how anointed you are, your body will break down without rest). There is a difference between work ethic and ‘work hectic’: work ethic brings about productivity without violating health; ‘work hectic’ damns all consequences and violates health in every possible way. It’s okay to have a great work ethic but it near suicidal to work hectic.
3. Eat healthy. More than half of all health problems are food-related. (A lot of believers do not watch what they load into their bodies as food, hence, the myriad cases of health breakdowns among God’s elect. It is easy to find out how to eat healthy these days: talk to professional dieticians and health experts. Google also comes in handy.) Examples abound of believers who literally ate their way out of the land of the living.
4. Exercise regularly. That bodily exercise profits little do not mean it is not profitable at all!
5. Do regular health check-ups. It does not diminish your faith in anyway. It is wisdom.
Quote: Many people know about healing, but most haven’t been taught how to walk in divine health – Pastor Chris
Prophetic Decree: Today, you shall recover your health from the grip of sin, Satan, and household enemies, in Jesus name.
Prayer Focus
1. I curse every attack on my health, by the anointing in the Blood of Jesus, in Jesus name.
2. Any image representing me in witchcraft cauldron, catch fire, in Jesus name.
3. Any cauldron cooking my health, break in Jesus name.
4. Spiritual arrows fired into my health, backfire, in Jesus name.
5. By the same spirit that resurrected Jesus Christ of Nazareth, O Lord, quicken my mortal body, in Jesus name.
6. Generational infirmities in my body, dry up to your roots, in Jesus name.
