Yaay, 2018 is almost over😃 God has been good to us, we are still breathing, meaning we are very much alive😅 Thank you Lord😂👐 So how has the year 2018 been? Recounting the year, months, weeks days: will you say it has been a good one😊? It has been more than you expected 😅? You could count more blessings than troubles, losses, hardships😋 ? That's great, I share in your joy, may 2019 be greater 👐 But maybe for you, you can't wait for it to end so you can start afresh in a new year😟. Maybe for you, you wished the year 2018 never happened because you lost more than you gained (i.e. the loved ones who died😢, the dreams and visions that never were, the plans and resolutions that couldn't fall through, the lost jobs, the relationships that got broken💔, the exams you failed or even the health you lost😡). Some of us might have also lost our faith along the way, couldn't grow spiritually as we desired to or even fell heavily into sin. Yeah, a lot was lo

 ‘ Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones ’. – Proverbs 3:7-8 The Bible, aside spelling out the life accounts of patriarchs and prophets, the redemptive work of Christ for humanity and the dos and don’ts of our faith as does every manual, also makes bare many principles concerning attaining good physical, mental, and spiritual health. This is corroborated by The Wycliffe Bible Encyclopedia that says the laws Moses received from God, which make up the bulk of all health instructions in the Bible, contain remarkable rules pertaining to public health which concerns us even today, such as how to deal with infectious diseases, food and water hygiene and sewage disposal.  ‘ If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His eyes, if you pay attention to His commands and keep all His decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians

The ancient Israelites were narrowed as to what to eat by God because God wanted them consecrated for His purpose or perhaps, the animals in the blacklist have a way of life that does not portray cleanliness or holiness. From Leviticus 11:1-23, the ancient Israelites were supposed to eat only terrestrial animals that chew the cud and have completely divided hoofs, unlike camel, coney, hate and swine who do not satisfy this category. They were also supposed to eat only fish with fins and scales, eat a category of insects which include locusts and grasshoppers and eat from a category of birds. In this present generation, the Word of God makes us know that " food does not by any means draw us nearer to God, We will, in terms of our relationship with God, be no better if we eat it or any worse if we do not "(1 Cor 8:8). 1 Tim 4:4-5 also says that " Everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is conse

Weary? Tired from the stressors of life? Tired of your sin and burdened with it? Jesus is still saying Come as He said over 2000 years ago. Come .  Come for rest. Come for a lighter burden and an easier yoke.  Come for relief from your oppression. Come .  Don't look elsewhere for rest, Come . Come to the only one in whom you can find true rest which comprises all dimensions of healing, love and peace. Come . Look, He didn't lie to us to make His offers so attractive. He still said there is another yoke carry.  His yoke. And guess what? This yoke and burden will not be bore by you alone, He will bear it with you. This weight will fall on bigger and stronger shoulders than yours, that is why they will be lighter and easier to carry. Hallelujah, He is our Yoke mate😀😀😀. A relationship with God changes meaningless, wearisome toil into spiritual productivity and purpose.
