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
Read: Exodus 23:25 (KJV)
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.
