Memorise: Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3rd John 1:12
Read: Exodus 23:25 (KJV)
25 And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
Bible in one year: Exodus 29:1-30:21, Psalms 119:33-48

AS REVEALED BY PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE IN TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL

1. Many Christians joke with their service to God, no wonder they fall sick.
2. When you serve God wholeheartedly, He will ensure that no sickness stays in your body.
3. Our Body is His temple, and anything that can destroy His temple is not approved by Him.
4. Yes it is true that bodily exercise profits a little, however, that little must not be done away with.

SHORT REFLECTION BY THE LIGHT POINTERS

Serving God wholeheartedly is key to divine health, let’s consider 3John1:2 “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” III John‬ ‭1:2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬. This verse carries much than we usually interpret it. Prosperity is not just about being wealthy or having huge amount of money in the bank or savings. The prayer in that verse simply says, we must have all round prosperity, freedom from worries of life such as sickness, disease, pains , bondage and all manners of calamity. Absence of peace in ones life is tantamount to being poor. Believers, must therefore understand that everything has been settled on our behalf on the cross. Like Pastor E.A Adeboye rightly said , we must also take good care of our body and avoid eating junks but instead eating wisely and engaging ourselves to bodily exercise will help keep the temple of God healthy. Blessed be God for our father in the Lord Pastor E. A Adeboye for the great insight in today’s devotional. May he continually increase in strength and grace in Jesus’ name.

Key Point
Pay attention to your health, God prefers you healthy than sick.
HYMN 11
1 Standing on the promises of Christ my king,
through eternal ages let his praises ring;

Standing, standing,
standing on the promises of God my Savior;
standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.

when the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
by the living Word of God I shall prevail,
standing on the promises of God. [Refrain]

listening every moment to the Spirit’s call,
resting in my Savior as my all in all,
standing on the promises of God. [Refrain]
