You’re not just a body; you’re a spirit. Your body is your earthly home. 1 Corinthians 6:20 AMPC says, “You were bought with a price . So then, honor God and bring glory to Him in your body.” That means your body belongs to God; He bought it with the blood of Jesus.
Though your body belongs to God, He made you its custodian. In other words, you’re the caretaker of your body. Therefore, if ever sickness, disease, or the devil attacks your body, it’s up to you to do something about it. The responsibility to keep your body strong and healthy is on you not on Him.
Some people say, “Oh God, look at my body; it’s been ravaged by sickness and disease, I can’t serve you with this body. Do something Lord!” God is saying to you today: “I gave you a body to function with; it’s your duty to keep it and dress it!” God has already done all He needs to do about your physical health. He’s already provided healing for you. Nothing should stop you from living in divine health. You ought to be healthy and strong.
Lots of people get sick because they don’t take care of their physical bodies. Many of them even after getting healed don’t maintain proper sanitary and hygienic conditions. They go back to the same unhygienic practices that caused the sickness in the first place and so they get sick again. It’s important that you learn to keep your body healthy and strong; ensure proper hygiene.
Don’t wear your body out from excessive labour; get the right information on how to make your body healthier so you can serve God better!
Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for teaching me to take care of my body. I disallow any form of filthiness or sickness in my physical body because I’m the temple of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
