Topic: ANTIDOTE TO SICKNESSES AND DISEASES

Memory Verse: Exodus 16:18 – And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating. Exodus 16:18

Bible Reading: Exodus 16:16-20

Message: There are many sicknesses and diseases in the world today that were not there in the days of our forefathers. This can be traced primarily to the difference in food consumption between those olden days and now. In those days, they didn’t have canned foods so they never tried to preserve anything through artificial means. Their bodies were strong and healthy because they got their food fresh from the farm as there were no freezers. These days, we want to store up our foods in the freezers because we want to minimise the number of times we go shopping. We want to be hungry this moment and have our food ready in five minutes, hence the increase in junk food and the use of microwave ovens. These things come at a cost to our health and vitality.

I am 80 years old now and still as strong as I was a couple of decades ago. Yes, no doubt, the Lord has been keeping me strong. I on the other hand too have not been consuming things that will kill my body.

If you want to stay strong and healthy, stop eating frozen and junk foods. When Jesus was teaching His disciples in Matthew 6:11, He told them to pray thus, “Give us this day our daily bread”, not our weekly bread, not our monthly bread. As much as you can, get your food for the day fresh from the source.

All the frozen foods and canned foods you see are being preserved with chemicals that are dangerous to your health. Have a small garden or flower pots somewhere around your house where you can plant some vegetables so that you can get them fresh whenever you want.

In the days of old, our fathers did not have as many sicknesses as we have now because they did not have cars, neither did they have air-conditioners. They breathed in fresh air and cooled themselves with it. These days, some people move from air-conditioned homes to air-conditioned cars to air-conditioned offices. You are still young, why can’t you stay outdoors just for a while every day to take in fresh air and vitamin D in the morning? If you start exercising your body and eating right, you will begin to feel the improvement in your health right away.

Hymn: Conquerors And Overcomers Now Are We
Points: Going forward, be deliberate about eating right and exercising your body.
Bible in one year: Jeremiah 6, Jeremiah 7, Jeremiah 8, Jeremiah 9

Title: Conquerors and Overcomes Now are We.
Chorus: Conquerors are we,
through the blood of Jesus,
God will give us victory,
through the blood of Jesus,
Thro’ the Lamb for sinners slain,
Yet who lives and reigns again,
More than conquerors are we,
More than conquerors are we..

  1. Conquerors and overcomes now are we,

Thro’ the precious blood of
Christ we’ve victory
If the Lord be for us,
we can never fail,
Nothing ‘gainst His mighty
pow’r can e’er prevail.

  2. In the name of Israel's

God we’ll onward press,
Overcoming sin and
all unrighteousness;
Not to us, but unto
Him the praise shall be,
For Salvation and for
blood bought victory.

  3. Unto him that overcometh

shall be given,
Here to eat of hidden
manna sent from heav’n,
Over yonder he
the victors palm shall bear,
And a robe of white,
and golden crown shall wear.
