2 Kings 4:1 “One day the widow of a member of the group of prophets came to Elisha and cried out, “My husband who served you is dead, and you know how he feared the Lord. But now a creditor has come, threatening to take my two sons as slaves.”
It is possible to serve God and fear God and still die in poverty. But that will not be your story in the Name of Jesus. The things that pertain to financial prosperity go beyond fearing God and serving God by itself.
Genesis 26:12-13 “Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the Lord blessed him. The man became rich, and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy.” (NIV, emphasis added).
Your farm is that place you go to plough, work and sow. Then you reap the harvest (so to speak), you get paid and you get a financial reward. The financial reward you get is your finances. The place you work is your farm.
2 Kings 4:7 “Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.” (NKJV)
Beginning today, we are turning our focus to Finance, the fifth “F”. It is God’s will that your family, faith, friendships, fitness, finance and farm, all work together in tandem and that you have fun in the process.
Proverbs 24:10 “If you fail, fall apart, fall to pieces under pressure (in a crisis), your strength is too small, you weren’t very strong to begin with, there wasn’t much to you in the first place.” (NLT, MSG, &The Voice).
The first enemy of fitness is Disease, and the second enemy of fitness is Stress. The third enemy of fitness is Laziness. However, God’s heart for us is holistic fitness and strength—physical, spiritual, and mental fitness.
Proverbs 24:10 “If you fail, fall apart, fall to pieces under pressure (in a crisis), your strength is too small, you weren’t very strong to begin with, there wasn’t much to you in the first place.” (NLT, MSG, & The Voice).
Fitness impacts directly on your destiny. Therefore, get up and work out. Get fit for yourself, your spouse, your children and for your destiny. You owe it to yourself, your life and to your God to be fit.
Proverbs 31:17 “She girds herself with strength [spiritual, mental, and physical fitness for her God-given task] and makes her arms strong and firm.” (AMPC, emphasis added).
When you talk about fitness, we are talking about the holistic type of fitness. Not that the person has a pack of muscles, but is mentally deranged, or spiritually dead. Wholistic fitness means you are physically fit,
3 John 1:2 “dear friend, and I pray all goes well for you. I hope you are as strong in body, as I know you are in spirit.” (CEV)
In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, it will go well with you, and you will be strong in your body. We have been looking at the second enemy of fitness which is Stress. Some people claim that the reason
1 Corinthians 9:27 “Like an athlete I punish my body, treating it roughly, training it to do what it should, not what it wants to. Otherwise I fear that after enlisting others for the race, I myself might be declared unfit and ordered to stand aside.” (LB)
Paul shows in today’s scripture that physical fitness is key to destiny manoeuvres. So, we will kick off our time in God’s presence today by looking at the four main types of exercise. This information is in the public domain,
1 Peter 2:24 “Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.” (NKJV).
Yesterday, we learnt that the three main enemies of fitness are Disease, Stress and Laziness. However, God has paid for your health in Christ Jesus. So, do not miss out on what God has for you. Regardless of the disease, in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
