For taking your time to study remain blessed NECESSITY OF HEALTH TIPS THURSDAY MAY 18 TEXT: ISAIAH 38: 16 - 22 Key verse: “Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities. “ 1 Timothy 5: 23 Do you know that if you don’t take care of your body it might be the reason why you may backslide tomorrow? Because some sicknesses come on some people, the pain is so much that they start abusing God. Is it not Job’s body that the wife said, Curse God and die? You are doing nothing in this early time to care for this body. You are waiting for when you will become older and the body takes another shape, because of the way you treated it yesteryears, and then you will say –‘God, I have laboured for You, why did You allow this?’ Remember that whatever a man sows he will reap. You didn’t sow well to your body, that’s why you are reaping that, and now you want to blame God. Didn’t you hear His word? My people perish for lack of knowledge. Control your fasting. Let your moderation be known to all men. That’s the word of God. Do not engage in careless fasting or high risky business, such as would bring ill health to your body and affect your performance. Check it up now. Take time to listen, be fast to hear. When we are teaching on these health tips, don’t say that you don’t need them, or that you have faith. There is the place of faith and there is place for knowledge. Add to your faith, knowledge. You need it. Let there be moderation or self control in everything. The drunkards are told that, your stomach ulcer came as a result of your excessive alcohol intake. Have you heard so? The smokers are told that the cancer of your body came as a result of the smoke you sent into it. Check your habits, for instance eating habits. Find out whether there are adverse implications. Let your moderation be known to all men. Have self control. Give the body rest after a long hard work. Jesus taught His disciples this. Mark 6: 31 – 32. 31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. 32 And they departed into a desert place by ship privately. Thought for the day: Wisdom is profitable to direct. Song for the day: It is well with me, I believe, Yes Lord I believe, it is well with me. Bible reading for the day: 2 Kings 20-22; John 6:45-71 #horemow
