BREAKING DOWN AGAIN? LORD WHY ME? PART 2 BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI





BREAKING DOWN AGAIN? LORD WHY ME? PART 2 BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI


2. ABUSE OF THE BODY

After I shared the first point few days ago on abuse of the tongue, I was down for some days. It wasn't funny at all. I have been over working this body for the past two months. It wasn't my fault anyways but that was never an excuse. I said to myself that I must practice what I preach and "walk my talk" so I have been taking care of myself. I promised myself that I would be relieving myself of stress one day in a week due to many things I am involved in presently.


I read of a man in one of Kenneth Hagin's books, this man was a minister of God whom God did use. He thought he could eat anything, anyhow and at anytime. God sent him several warnings but he was adamant. His life was taken at last.

As a child of God, it is our responsibility to take care of our body which is the temple of God. God will not come down to take care of it for us. He expects us to manage this body. We are not permitted to eat just anything. We must be disciplined in the choice of our meals.

Some overwork this body. They work like jackals. They have no time to rest and this can cause a lot of havoc to the body. They will be like, they can never fall sick and so they just live anyhow. This has a way of cutting the lifespan short. Don't tempt God. A man who doesn't have enough rest will surely wear this body out.




When I was in 400level, first semester, I had little time to rest. I often overworked my body then. I was like I can never fall sick. On top enormous stress, I didn't   have time to cook good food. The aftermath was not something sweet. Thank God for God. Smiles.....

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defiles the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17.

This body houses your Spirit. When life ceases to flow in this body, the Spirit has to go out. Since you know this, why then will you not take full responsibility of taking care of this body?

There are some things that serve as poisons to this body when taken. They are not necessarily sinful but they have ways of cutting life span short. A man who smokes cigarette is doing himself harm. There is this warning that smokers are liable to die young. What verse of Scriptures will you hold on to if you are the type who can't do without smoking? A man who smokes cannot stay healthy even if he confesses all the words of God that has to do with healing.

For instance, someone taking alcohol chronically now should be aware that alcohol causes cirrhosis of the liver. So, he will have no man to blame when he comes down with liver disease. If you have been addicted to it, God is ready to set you free but He needs your readiness first.




I know you have been wondering if God does not keep to His promises again. You ask, "By His stripes, we were healed," why then do I have to fall sick? Our God is a covenant keeper. He keeps covenant in all generations. He is Yahweh. Therefore, it is now essential for us to also keep our part. He has kept His but He expects us to be faithful on our own part, too. He expects us to bring our body under subjection. We can't continue to give this body all that it asks for.

Someone who refuses to bath regularly should know that he is harboring germs which can lead to infection. Will God come down to take your bath for you? No. He has blessed you with water, it is now your duty to take good care of yourself. Some will even say they are fasting, therefore, they can't take their bath; brush their teeth. Living like that, you can't stay healthy.

My project colleague uttered a statement one day, "God said you will live a 100 years, you now stand in front of a trailer in motion." You know the rest of the story. Such is only putting God to test and God cannot be tempted with evil. Such is the case of a man who abuses his body and still holds God by His word.

To be continued.........

THE POWER OF IMPURE THOUGHTS BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA

THE POWER OF IMPURE THOUGHTS BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA "When a man constantly feeds on impure substances, he is simply feeding his heart with garbage." Impure thoughts are powerful such that they render you incapacitated in the things of the spirit.  They have a way of captivating your heart and making you see no need for pressing deep into the realities of the spirit.  Those articles you have downloaded and digested can't add any substance of value to you, but would rather take away vital substance from you.  Those disgusting discussions you have engaged yourself in will only impair your vision.  Show me a man who has been feeding his heart with garbage, and I will show you a man who has been held captive by this garbage.  You can't continue to sow impure ideas and expect to reap pure meditation.  A man who engages himself in impure thoughts would only be a stumbling block to his growth.  No wonder you have been entan...

FLEE! BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA

FLEE! BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA Let's start this way!  What is flee? Flee means to run away; to escape. In other words, run for your life.  You think you still need to pray about it when God says flee?  That prayer of yours is foolishness when the word already says flee.  That lady came into your room in the night half naked and you started speaking in tongues. Will tongues chase her out at the moment? What can we call that act of yours, sir?  That man keeps giving you questionable attention, yet you continue to collect gifts from him instead of you to escape for your life.  When you accidentally bump into porn sites and you feel reluctant to leave, what are you supposed to do? Please flee. Don't feed your eyes with evil.  You don't need an audible voice to tell you that you are in danger zone when youthful lust comes knocking at your door.  Flee is the instruction given in the word of God.  D...

OVERFAMILIARITY CAN DENY US OF MANY BLESSINGS BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI

OVERFAMILIARITY CAN DENY US OF MANY BLESSINGS BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI Each time I am home, my sister would always beg me to plait my hair for me and I will be like you can't make my hair  but have seen her make beautiful hair for other people. What's worrying me? Overfamiliarity. I have been very amazed when people give testimony of how a man of God prays for them and they are healed. The wife of the same  man of God is at home sick but due to the unbelief of the wife and the familiarity, she doesn't believe in her husband's prayers and so she will remain in that state.  So many opportunities some of us have missed because we are proving too familiar with our friends. We think since we are close to them, we are closer to opportunities  and we can also misbehave. Some of us will not even ask questions about how they were able to get to that point. We know they are very much ahead of us, instead of us to humble ourselves, we bring ourselves to t...
