Take Care of Your Health ¦¦ Apostle Joshua Selman ¦¦ Koinonia Global

The choice to be healthy and physically strong 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 Please refer to it There are countless people who don’t realize that choosing to be healthy and the choice to be physically strong are serious decisions Here’s what God used to deliver me What Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you whom you have received from God and that you are not your own Verse 20 20 now 6 20 1 Corinthians For you were bought at a price Therefore Glory God with your body and your spirit for both belong to Him Glory God with your body To glorify God with your body is more than just avoiding immoral behavior or a reckless way of life that is merely one part of it Yet there are many people who may not be victims of any sinful way of life but they are victims of mismanaging their bodies—this is also evident Because the Bible teaches that your body belongs to God You shouldn't drink smoke or engage in promiscuity yet you still misuse your body—it’s still evident The choice to live a healthy life e choice to be physically strong Are we together Usually at the end of the year I hold retreats and during those retreats I typically assess my progress using some of the indicators I've mentioned For three years in a row I noticed that the area of my life performing the worst was my health and physical well-being—not simply due to negligence Let me be honest with you One day a man of faith in this nation called me after a conference and said Apostle let me warn you—be careful with your health Africans kill their prophets And that thing was a message because some of you as you continue to mismanage your body sometimes Most people don’t know how to care for their bodies Fast when it’s time to fast Eat when there’s time to eat Are we on the same page I believe in divine healing and in the power of God but if you discover your health is worsening don’t feel ashamed or afraid to see a doctor There's nothing wrong with growing in your understanding of Zoey's life Do not die the death of a fool due to pride if you are ill and pray laying hands on yourself yields no result Go to the hospital with dignity and see a doctor to receive treatment Once you are well you can then dedicate time to studying that eternal life until it becomes a lived experience Please listen to me Listen to me There are many people who have brought trouble upon themselves Medical doctors will tell us that most illnesses if caught early can be resolved There are countless unnecessary prayer points that have entered our lives and bodies simply due to carelessness Hallelujah It is vital that you take care of your body Some of you the greatest enemy in your life is gluttony Even if you're asleep and food is placed before you supernaturally as if by a word of knowledge you'll wake up see it and must eat before returning to sleep Remember what the Prophet's sons told the Prophet They said "There is death in the pot " Death can indeed be in the pot Death isn't only on the road through an accident even in the kitchen a single misstep in cooking can bring death to the pot It's time to get healthy There are many young people in their late twenties early thirties who can't walk from here to there anymore and they weren't born that way You climb the stairs and are already breathing as though you're about to die My friend find the strength to go to the gym Go and walk—push yourself In the name of Jesus for the sake of those you will be preaching to and for the sake of the destinies intertwined with yours You can't be a young man of 27 or 30 You're already breathing You just dance during praise and worship and you need to bring two bottles of water just to get through the rest of the service No sir Hallelujah I hope you're learning If we hold a night vigil and our elders fall asleep that's perfectly fine—we can pass it on to them But a young man— You're holding a vigil starting at ten o'clock and an hour in you're already asleep—standing there no less Oh come on It's not merely a spiritual matter you must truly connect with your physical self Go and review the six classes of food as outlined in your biology and basic science textbooks Because some of you based on what you're eating Without God's mercy your negligence is like cutting a year off your life Don't take it personally—I love you Listen look up please In Africa we believe that prosperity means eating so well it feels like a revenge mission All the things you couldn't afford to eat when you had no money you now go to a restaurant to enjoy five taps of the swallow and The soup that five people will share—only you will use it You sit with the cooler in front of you two bottles of minerals one whole chicken one whole farm-raised chicken And when you've eaten it all you say "My soul finds peace " No no Are you learning Let me offer you some very thoughtful advice Jesus made a statement we're wrapping up He said "Whoever does not wish to walk should not eat " That is medical advice If you don't intend to walk He's saying not to eat because continuing to eat without walking has a negative impact on your body This isn't just a religious statement—it's medical advice Before you eat ask yourself what walk would justify the meal you're about to consume That means the less you walk the lighter your meals should be—a medical recommendation There are people who can eat five chickens and still maintain their walking routine That energy will be burned to ashes as they walk You see our fathers had the privilege of eating heartily because they were largely farmers They would head to the farm and channel that energy there Our mothers would walk to the market but our generation is an e-generation Your office is in your room Everything is in your room As you step out there's a protocol Then a plane comes to pick you up Then you land still eating like a farmer He who refuses to work should not eat Those who wish to live modestly should eat simply Decision number five
