WISDOM FOR HEALTHY LIVING
As the ministers of God, our need for good health cannot be
overemphasized. We need health in order to fulfill our God-given ministries,
and also to be alive for our families. Our children, wives or husbands need us
even as the church needs us. We cannot but keep ourselves healthy to remain
relevant to both God and man.
Wisdom, I have discovered
is the most important tool the minister has for the ministry. Little wonder
Proverb advised ‘’in all your getting, get wisdom.’’ We need wisdom in a time
like this in the history of the Church than we ever needed it. Wisdom would
guild us on how to match our physical well being to our pursuit of ministerial
fulfillment.
The essence of
this POST is to outline some useful rules that would guild everyone
that cares about remaining healthy, and particularly the ministers in pursuit
of ministerial fulfillment.
THE RULES FOR HEALTHY LIVING
RULE ONE: Most times
battered health is non-reversible!
Like I
explained in my book ‘’IT IS ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH’’, one very important
principle of faith is wisdom. We must know his because often, children of God
wish away statements like this that seems to ‘emanate from faith’. Because the
average believer would quick to ask: do you mean to say God cannot reverse
health challenge? That is not what I mean. What I mean is that most times as we
learn from history and several Biblical accounts, any mistake made health wise
is almost usually non-reversal. Let’s take a clue from Paul’s experience.
Apostle Paul had a notable health challenge that many Bible commentators have
talked about. Paul wanted the evil taken away. But look at what he got from God
‘’My grace is
sufficient for you’’ What would you make of that? I supposed that reply of God
to Paul’s request of healing could easily be paraphrased thus: my son, you just
have to bear it. You call that unkind? Not, at all. How do we expect God to,
any way, take away what we could have prevented by mere application of wisdom,
or just by being wise a little.
RULE TWO: Beware of self......MORE TO COME.
