One of the great blessings we have received by coming to earth is a physical body.
Our body is so important that the Lord calls it a temple of the Holy Spirit:
« Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own. »(1 Corinthians 6:19)
We therefore have a duty to maintain it and protect it against anything that could damage or destroy it.
What then can destroy our body?
1. Sexual immorality:
Sexual sin defiles our bodies both spiritually and physically.(Read 1 Corinthians 6:18)
2. Occult practices and witchcraft:
They defile our body on which they are made. (Read Leviticus 20:6)
3. The consumption of harmful products:
The consumption of alcoholic beverages, drugs, tobacco, very sweet products, fatty products gradually deteriorate our health.
4. Table excesses:
Gluttony is a sin that many Christians overlook. Yet it has harmful effects on our body.(Read Galatians 5:21)
5. Laziness and overwork:
Laziness and overwork slowly destroy our body. We should avoid sleeping longer than necessary, go to bed early and get up early, so that our body and mind are invigorated.(Read Proverbs 13:4)
6. Anger, grief and hatred:
Not only do they destroy our sanity, but they also drive the Holy Spirit out of our bodies.(Read Proverbs 14:17)
PRAYER:
Our Father who art in heaven, help us to know and be able to take good care of our bodies.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
