HEAVEN 29 JULY 2021 TOPIC: The Need for Bodily
Exercise!
MEMORISE: 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.
1st Timothy 4:8
READ: 3rd John 1:2 (KJV)
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
BIBLE
IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 87:1-7
, Psalms 88:1-18 , Psalms 89:1-52
Open Heaven 29 July 2021 MESSAGE:
Every sane person wishes to be
healthy, wealthy, fulfilled and have longevity. 1st Chronicles 29:26-28 says
“Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel… And he
died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour…”
Therefore, good health, long life and prosperity are the
heritage of Gods children. Bodily exercise may indeed profit little compared to
the spiritual benefits of godliness, but a healthy body is vital to successful
living and longevity. Man is a tripartite being. The Bible teaches that man
consists of the spirit, soul and body. God is interested in our good health –
physically. He desires that we should be sound and complete – spirit, soul and
body. This healing of the whole man starts in our spirit, it begins when God
touches our spirit with His Holy Ghost.

Romans 8:16 says:The Spirit itself
beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.God created
the human body to be rugged. However, good food, regular exercise, and daily
rest are vital for a healthy body. A healthy body is required to carry out daily
human endeavours. More so, divine assignments are usually tedious and demanding
physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Therefore, fitness and sound health are two factors that make
God appoint people in their youth for special assignments. That is why strength
and all-round fitness are common attributes of those that God used in the
Bible.
Abraham
was energetic and fit enough to produce children at over a hundred years of age
Genesis
25:1-4. Moses trekked through the
wilderness and climbed mountains at over eighty years of age Exodus 7:7. David displayed
agility and strength in the fight against lions, bears, Goliath and various
armies, even from his youth. Elijah exhibited speed and stamina, as he was
aided by the Holy Spirit to outrun the chariot of King Ahab.
The exploits of Joshua, Caleb, Samson, Deborah, Peter, Paul,
Stephen, Phillip, John the Beloved and others, show clearly that they were
physically fit. Bodily exercise is required to keep the body fit and strong for
the accomplishment of great and mighty things for God.
Open Heaven 29 July 2021 KEY POINT:
Henceforth,
ensure that you get involved in regular exercise for healthy living even as
your soul continues to prosper.
