IT IS TIME TO OVERFLOW II – Friday December 9th 2016
Memorise: Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3rd John 1:12
25 And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
Bible in one year: Exodus 29:1-30:21, Psalms 119:33-48
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 1st Timothy 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.
