ODM Devotional 12 December 2017

Some spend billions of money on beauty each year. Beauty
product factories are getting richer, while people consume drugs worth 2
billion Naira ($5,476,760.00) annually just to keep fit! Yet, the principal
element of glamour which is cheaper than a lipstick, more powerful than a blow
dryer and as vital as our well-being as your next breath, is neglected daily.

This neglected beauty and health product given freely by
nature to man is physical exercise! Carrying out regular exercises, not only
increase energy muscle tone, bone strength, cardiovascular endurance, lung
capacity, flexibility, circulation and metabolism, but it decreases body fat,
blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Exercising and keeping fit
can also reduce depression. New findings also indicate that exercise also
increases creativity. So when you are sometimes dry and not inspired, het into
exercise to resume the creative system. THAT MEANS EXERCISE CAN BRING THE
GENIUS IN YOU! Also, regular exercises and physical activity have been
confirmed to reverse the effects of aging and increase life expectancy.

For each hour you
invest in exercise, you gain two or more in longevity.Just as physical activity
can prevent early death, so regular
spiritual activities such as fasting, daily Bible reading, praise and
worship, joining an evangelism (soul winning) club, visiting hospitals or
orphanages, daily meditations exercises on the Word of God , learning to hear
the God regularly, running from sin, etc, can prolong your level of grace
anointing. There are even times trials and temptations are exercises allowed by
God to train your spiritual muscles and tone (Heb.12:11). 1 Timothy 4:7 sums it
all, that despite the great advantage of physical and mental exercise, “Exercise thyself rather to godliness.” That
means, strive to keep fit spiritually! our daily manna bible verses
