Faith without Work

“So also faith, if it does not have works (deeds and actions of obedience to back it up), by itself is destitute of power (inoperative, dead)”  - James 2:17 (AMP)

A story once told of two friends who had gone to consult about their future. The first person was told he would be great and wealthy while the other was told life would be a misadventure for him as he would never amount to greatness.

They both went ahead with life but with a difference. The person who had been told would amount to nothing went into uninhabited regions and started cultivating the area, growing both food and cash crops. The other fellow went back home without no care believing he would be great. He went ahead announcing to all who cared to listen that his wealth and greatness were inevitable.

A great famine arose after many years and the whole city needed food. After the manner of Joseph, the man who had earlier been told would be poor was the only farmer who could help them , hence exchange began until the whole city had nothing to give in exchange for food. They all trooped out asking the farmer to be their king and lord over them just to feed them.

The first person to pay homage to the king was the fellow who had been told would be great and rich but did nothing about it. While the new king was the fellow who had been told would amount to nothing.

God has promised and assured us of health, wealth, prosperity, longevity and other great things in this life and the hereafter. Many are unaware of these promises while some who are aware do nothing to activate them.

You believe mere confessing the word and paying your tithes without putting your hand to work is not enough to ensure your prosperity.  You believe fasting and praying about your marriage is not enough to guarantee a good marriage. Yet you think mere confessing and not paying attention to principles of healthy living will guarantee health and longevity.

Every successful career is an evidence of hard work. No good marriage is a product of chance but conscious efforts by two individuals to make it work. In the same way, your health can not be left to chances. It requires attention and you must give it all it requires.

Knowing what to eat, how to eat, how to preserve what you eat, what cookware to use, etc. are some of the efforts required by everyone who desires health and longevity. Your body requires this input to sustain itself and to carry out its basic functions.

God has designed the human body to heal and reverse any disease condition with or without the aid of medication. Little wonder David said after taking a study on the dynamics of the human body “I am fearfully and wonderfully made”.

What you do and what you do not do would determine if your body will able to carry out the above.

According as His divine power as given us all things that pertain to life and godliness. Make a conscious effort today to work on your health so as to enact the promises of God concerning your health. It may be gradual and sometimes drastic if there are disease conditions already but you must start doing something today.

Confession:  Thank you Lord for your grace for health and healing. I apply this grace to aspects of my life that requires action to improve my health in Jesus name.

PARENTS ALERT: FOOD & DIET AFFECTS YOUR CHILD’S BEHAVIOR AND LEARNING

By
This topic is a response to several demands and enquiry as regards the role food plays in behaviors, moods, addictions, etc. Special attention will be given to what parents should watch out for especially as children are returning to school. Our food has changed so drastically in the last few decades it is no wonder that food-related behavior and learning problems in children are increasing. What is clear is that children not only behave better but concentrate better, follow instructions better, and remember more when they eat healthier food. It should be noted that concentration, following instructions, and memory are fundamental building blocks of the learning process and vital for success at school. Moms and Dads certainly intend to do the best for their children, and part of this can mean feeding them “regular food” that won’t set their children apart from their friends. But in doing so, our children are being sabotaged in ways that make it difficult for them to ...
