Beloved,
I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul
prospers. 3 Jn :2
Hold
up.
Isn’t
it funny to know that our health is embedded in God’s love language for
us? How that the bible makes it known to
us that as much as God would have us prosper in our health just the same way he
would have us prosper spiritually and financially? Funny enough it’s not just
our physical bodies but also our physical minds. Isn’t this amazing? Anyway, before I proceed let me tell you a very short story. This happened to me
recently, just 2 weeks ago.
I
was in a hurry to go to school and my room was very rough. I felt like I was
just going to arrange it when I return from school and I was perfectly fine
with that. As I was on my way to school, the Holy Spirit told me to go back to
arrange the room but I didn’t obey. I kept going but after a while, I had to go
back and arrange the room, and then the Holy Spirit made it known to me that he
was so interested in my hygiene. Don’t get me wrong now. I am hygienic but I wasn’t just ready to go
back to arrange my room. But from that experience, I learned that God was
interested in the little things that surround my health such as how my room
looked at the moment. And since then the Holy Spirit has been giving me tips on
my hygiene, making me realize that it was the little things that matter. The
little things such as arranging my room before leaving, mopping even when
I feel it’s not necessary, how I take care
of my window blinds, my sleeping posture, arranging my bed immediately after I
wake up because that was something I definitely didn’t consider very important.
I
asked the Holy Spirit why He was
interested in me
rearranging my bed, arranging my shoe rack consistently instead of just throwing
my shoes anywhere and anyhow and this was the verse he led me to, 1Timothy 4:8 which says for bodily exercise profits little. Stop right there.
Bodily exercise profits? Wow. Bodily
exercise actually profits. I knew the verse but I just had never thought the Holy
Spirit would be so concerned about the little things and this leads me to 3rd
John 2- Beloved I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health,
even as your soul prospers.
God
is so interested in our health and more importantly in our lifestyle. He is so
interested in how we live our daily lives, how well we take our baths and brush
our teeth, how frequent we take our baths, how arranged our rooms are, how tidy
our wardrobes are, even how ironed our clothes are and not to mention our
diet. How consistent we are in eating a balanced diet and how intentional we are about eating the right combination of
food that favours our health. And he desires that we are intentional about these
things.
Beloved,
God wants us to prosper in all our ways and especially in our health and he
wants us to be intentional about the little things that surround our health.
God needs us to be serious and intentional about our health because he is
intentional and serious about our health.
STAY
BLESSED.
STAY
INSPIRED.

DeleteYou are perfectly on the point ma. Health is wealth, how you take care your health will determine how wealth you may become.little things like bathing, brushing of teeth, maintaining prosper hygienic life style, eating good diet are very essential in our health living and our been wealthy. If you ignore taking care your health, you will fall terribly ill and it will involved spending a lot of money for medical bills and your wealth will begins to diminish because the money that supposed to be invented in something that will yield more profits is been spent on medical bills as a result of carelesness.I am not saying one cannot be a victim of hospital but majority are victims as a result of carelesness or negligence. If you are healthy you will be able to make money and prosper finacially even spiritually but if you are sick everything become standstill and wealth begins to diminishing. May God grant us the grace to live prosperous life and healthy lifestyle in Jesus name
ReplyDeleteIndeed right sir. God bless you
