And it all depended on her fitness. The truth is that the loss of not being deliberate about your life is absolutely unnecessary. The loss of not being deliberate about fitness is unnecessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to age, there is the chronological age and there is the biological age. For some people, their chronological age is twenty-five, but their biological age is sixty-five. This is a real-life story. A lady who was in her twenties, but her biological age was sixty-five. Her body was like the body of a sixty-five-year-old woman, meanwhile, she was in her twenties. Some people are in their thirties, but their biological age is close to seventy. Guess what? Some people are in their forties and their biological age is twenty. What we are saying is that it is possible to be so fit that your members are renewed like that of the youth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And you need to see how this is God&#8217;s will for you. There was another lady who was in her forties, but her metabolism was that of a twenty-four-year-old woman. You have to be deliberate about your health condition and your lifestyle. You need to drop the bad habits, just drop it! Those things that you know are killing you slowly, you need to stop them. I had a friend, he is late today, the first cigarette I smoked, he was the one who lit it up for me. And when I got saved, one of the first things I did was to seek out my friends. So, I went to him. I said to him, \u2018Listen, you have to give your life to Jesus.\u2019 He responded, \u2018Don\u2019t tell me you have become one of those born-again people.\u2019 He had a cigarette in his hand, and he was trying to give me one. I refused it and told him, \u2018This thing is killing you slowly.\u2019\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But he just made a joke out of everything. He said he wanted to die slowly and not suddenly. Unfortunately, he slumped and died in his twenties. Why? Too much smoke had affected his lungs. Stop the bad habits. There are certain habits you are indulging in that are slowly ebbing on your health. For some, it is the habit of not sleeping well. You do not get enough rest and it is destructive. Start the right habits, you need to begin to exercise and move your body. Be deliberate again about exercise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Prayer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:\u00a0 Father, I commit to being more deliberate about my health and fitness from now on, in Jesus Name.
