5. TEMPERANCE: This is where most people fall short when it comes to health. Intemperance in eating has led to many health defects. We eat whatever we want and at whatever time but I am doing you a favor by telling you today that, you are getting it wrong. Plan your meal, if it's 2 times a day (2 times: 6am-9am in the morning and 3pm -5pm in the evening), fine, and if it’s 3 times no problem. (3 times: 6am-9am in the morning, 12pm in the afternoon, and 3pm -5pm in the evening) Do not eat whatever your hands find, eat on time to avoid indigestion. Do not drink with meals as it impairs digestion. Do not take alcohol. Do not eat late: In Ecclesiastes 5: 17 “All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness”

So you see the aftermath of late eating now? Do your best to avoid eating late.

6. GOOD AIR:  We are alive today not because of any magic but by the air we breathe. Lack of air for 5 minutes will end you at the mortuary. We breathe in Oxygen (O2) and breathe out Carbon dioxide (CO2) as we all know.

When the heart pumps blood, it first goes to the lungs where exchange of gas takes place before the blood is distributed or circulated to all parts of the body. Because of this, you do not need to stay in an area where there’s air pollution else it will affect the quality of your blood since air is responsible for the purification of blood.

Open your windows at times to allow fresh air to seep in. Do not stay indoors all day, go out to get fresh air. Do not stay in that air-conditioned car or house all the time. Make way for good air, and plant more trees around your house for fresh air.

7. REST: This is what most people are struggling with. They work 24/7 with no rest. We work for money with being considerate about our health but we will use that same money to battle sickness later in life. So what at all have you gained from working tirelessly today and spending it on sicknesses tomorrow? Is it a good idea? When you wake up in the morning, assess yourself the same way you assess your vehicles before you hit the road. Some people wake up with pains and discomforts all over their body but will still go to work and overwork or for a paper. Do you cherish money more than your life? God created the world and everything in it in 6 days and rested on the 7^th day: Genesis 2:2 “And on the seventh-day God ended his work which he had made, and He rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made”.  

So what are you also going to do since we are following the examples of our creator?

8. TRUST IN DIVINE POWER:  When you understand your purpose on earth and how you were created, you will leave everything to God. There are some things beyond our control and human imagination.

In the healing process and ministry, doctors are just vessels used by God to accomplish his healing process. Whenever you are battling with any disease, kindly take your supplications to God for help because before doctors could heal you, you need the intervention of God else the doctors might help you.

               

Having said this, don’t sit down and pray all day and night without visiting the hospital. Do not substitute treatment prayers alone. They are intertwined and should go hand in hand with the other.

Whilst praying, have faith that your prayers are going to be answered by the Almighty God.

Do not say to yourself: this is the disease that will send me to my grave. No, God works in mysterious ways. Even if it’s a deadly disease, pray and trust that God will do it.
