INVESTING IN YOUR HEALTH: A DIVINE RESPONSIBILITY

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

     Beloved, God’s will for His children goes beyond spiritual blessings; it includes sound health and prosperity. “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth” (3 John 1:2). The phrase “above all things” reveals that good health is not a secondary matter to God—it is a priority tied to our spiritual devotion. To remain strong for the kingdom’s mission, believers must make intentional investments in their health.

    Physical health requires discipline—balanced nutrition, exercise, regular medical check-ups, and adequate rest. Within our means, we should own basic health tools such as sugar and blood pressure monitors, and have knowledge of first aid and alternative remedies. Proverbs 14:30 says, “A sound heart is the life of the flesh,” showing that peace of mind and freedom from strife sustain wellness.

    Emotional and spiritual health are equally vital. The soul controls the state of the body; therefore, we must feed it with the Word of God, worship, prayer, and wholesome entertainment (Philippians 4:8). Staying away from bitterness, anxiety, and unhealthy relationships preserves both spirit and body.

    Additionally, building supportive networks—such as registering with a hospital, joining a fitness group, and befriending medical professionals—enhances longevity. God wants us healed and strong because our health determines our ability to fulfill His mission of soul-winning (Isaiah 53:5; 1 Corinthians 6:19–20). To neglect health is to weaken divine purpose. Therefore, invest in your health—it is sacred stewardship.

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and the strong will to be healthy .

PRAYERS: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to heal the sick .
