TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF
TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF
God does not have any problem keeping anybody for life, Jesus said, “If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?” – John 21:22. Paul said everyone of us shall give account of himself to the Lord (Romans 14:12). No one can love his neighbour more than himself. If there is anything you need to achieve this year, it is to be in perfect health (3 John 2). A story was shared about a child when he had opportunity to ask God a question, he asked God what surprised you most about humanity, and God answered "Man! The child asked, why? God replied, “Because man sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to restore his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”
You must take good care of your body, your health especially; eat right and well, rest when you suppose to (Mark 6:31), don’t overwork even though you work hard. Stop bad habits or behaviours that can harm your health, smile and laugh more, it is medicine for the soul. Be merry, be happy (Proverbs 17:22). Understand your body system, drink water more daily, do exercise (1 Timothy 4:7,8), reduce soda and follow health advise. Your body is the temple of God, take care of it; taking good care of your body is taking care of God (1 Corinthians 3:16,17; 2 Corinthians 6:16). Let your cloth be white and don’t be over spiritual. Pray always, but let your thanksgiving be more and rejoice in the Lord always. You cannot be living your life carelessly and be praying not to die young, it is like tempting God. In this year, plan for your health, if you are in perfect health, you are more than a billionaire.
In taking good care of yourself, stay away from negative people; forgive yourself and stop blaming yourself for the past. Set goals for the year, if you achieve it, thank God, rejoice; praise God, thank those who help you to make it happen. If you did not meet up with your goals, it is not the end of life and you are not a failure. Why will you be angry at yourself when you did not measure up with the goal that you set? Any goal you cannot achieve this year, there is a New Year coming to achieve it; be grateful for the ones you have, for gratitude turns what we have into enough. Anxiety or worry will not help anybody, you have prayed, therefore relax, and don’t kill yourself before the miracle appears. No one will replace you on the day of your harvest (Amen). Put no stumbling block on any man’s way; let your mind be free. Don’t stress yourself over anything, put all in the hand of God.
Finally, in taking good care of yourself hereafter is to preserve your soul in eternity, there is a life after here, whether you believe it or not, just give your life to Christ. What good does it do for people to win the whole world yet lose their lives? Or what should a person give in exchange for life? - Mark 8:36-37.
Word Affirmation: “But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head." - Psalm 3:3 (Don't just say it, mean it!)
“Any goal you cannot achieve this year, there is a New Year coming to achieve it; be grateful for the ones you have, for gratitude turns what we have into enough."
