MINISTER

GOD’S PLAN IN WEIGHT, DIET AND GYM

From Sam-Best Ewruje, an able minister of the New Testament, not of man nor by man, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but by the will of God through the Grace and Mercy of Christ given unto me. Abundance of Grace and Gift of righteousness by Grace be unto you in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Please be patient to read. It will set you free for life!

To really grasp the issue of food diet and gym from this try read phases 1 to 3.

So now that Jesus has made the perpetual decree how do we deal with the weight diet and gym issues:

ACCEPTANCE OF YOURSELF IN CHRIST:

First accept yourself as you are now and see yourself as God sees you in Christ and His love – fearfully and wonderfully made including all your members. No need to enhance any part of your body. Some of us look down on people doing body jobs to enhance themselves, but you fall into the same condemnation when you do your bits and bobs to shape your body because you think you are too fat, too thin, too tall etc because it is exactly the same motive.

It is only human that do not like the way God created them. The short want to be tall, the big want to be small, the cuddly (what the world call fat) want to be thin. I am yet to see a hippopotamus as fat as they are want to lose weight. Animals just do what they are created to do. It is the domesticated ones we call pets that become obese. I have seen most Jews, it is rare to see a practising Jew that is very obese because I believe their act of praying alone bopping back and forth in prayer can make them lose any fat. When we do things of God actively (eg passionate vibrant praise, passionate boisterous prayer (Jesus in Hebrews 5:7) and eat in moderation, we will be healthy and fit. For instance try active fasting (not this present day cop out psychedelic miss a chocolate or TV modernised fasting) and you will see how wonderful it is. He renews our youth – Ps 103. Godly exercise profiteth unto all things. I am not saying gym is not good but being in the gym with the Holy Ghost in prayer, praise, fasting etc will profit you better the word of God says.  Scripture is not of any private interpretation, I take God’s word as it says, They are his thoughts and the Holy Spirit will get it inside us very well as we meditate on it not to change it or interpret it our own way. It is good to say like Paul – “not I but the Lord” or “not the Lord but me” because once God says it, no more private interpretation or analysis but it is as God said it and the Holy Spirit will give your personal revelation (not interpretation of that word. Some of the things we do like diet and physical exercise are in themselves borne out of fear of dying, fear of weight gain, fear of sickness, but if we focus on loving God, His perfect love will cast out fear of dying because we are in His presence and His love by spiritually exercising daily in God’s gym with the Holy Spirit – Amen!!

SPIRITUAL EXERCISE:

Engage in daily fellowship with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit through the Word and prayers, thanksgiving, Praise etc.  Note that going to gym is not bad but God says spiritual exercise will profit you more when you rather exercise unto Godliness.  Vs 9 below also says worthy of all acceptation. So everyone should accept this scripture as it is hook, line and sinker.

1 Timothy 4

⁷But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.

⁸For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

⁹This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.

SPEAK THE WORD ONLY:

In Mark 7 vs 6-23 note words like all, any and cannot. God has programmed it as default. I choose to believe God’s word, God now commands us to eat everything eatable, nothing to be refused but the key is it must be with thanksgiving in moderation and nothing should overtake us or put us in bondage that we become addicted to it.

Speak – that is how God created and he has not changed, Catholic got it right. “As it was in the beginning so it is now ever shall be …. Gospel is simple. Speak good words only not because you deserve good but because Jesus paid for the good. Speak to your body that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Speak good about the food you eat and not curse it even before it goes into your body.

Philemon 1

⁶That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus

BE MODERATE

Do all things eg eat in moderation

Philippians 4

⁵Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

1 Corinthians 10

²²Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?

²³All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

Some may stone me if I say this – Drinking in moderation is not bad – Paul said “take a little wine for thy stomach” (The French do this with their meals) – Don’t think this is ordinary grape juice. There were not many medications in those days and alcohol was used for medicinal value. Might as well tell the French to throw their food out of the window or say that the French will go to hell because they drink wine with their food.

However I am a teetotaller with a difference as I do not also smoke because I respect the temple of God which is my body not because God will condemn me if I drink in moderation

LIVE LONG – SPEAK GOOD THINGS ONLY

See long days. Keep your mouth from speaking guile and speak well of the Lord, yourself and others

Psalm 34

¹¹Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

¹²What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?

¹³Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

¹⁴Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

Halleluya. How can you neglect so great a salvation! If you are not saved, why don’t you receive what Jesus says.
