“All truth and no action makes
Christian Johnny a dull boy”
Obesity is defined as a medical
condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it could
have adverse effects on the individual’s health. It generally leads to reduced
life expectancy.
Spiritually, obesity can be
aligned with consumption of too much biblical truth without acting on them.
Thus, that individual goes on a very long inward journey with no external manifestation
of the reception of the message which has the efficacy of salvaging the soul
(James 1:21). If only we practiced 1/10 of the truths we know!
The journey inward should be
balanced by the journey outwards to maintain a normal spiritual BMI (body mass
index)
Treating Obesity
Obesity is usually treated with
dieting and physical exercise.
While from the spiritual
standpoint, you may not necessarily cut down your spiritual diet, asking for
illumination by the Holy Spirit as well as exercising the Great Commission is
vitally refreshing.
Christ did not commission us to
‘come to church’. He commissioned us to ‘go to the world’!
The risks of failing to treat
obesity include exposing us to cardiovascular diseases- spiritual attacks on
our hearts; which the bible instructs us to guard with all diligence (Prov 4:23).
“All these from a position of
fullness?” you may ask. Truth be told, life is truly found when we pour out.
STAY HEALTHY…GO A POURING!
