ealthy living is a conscious lifestyle that is obtainable by making positive choices for the improvement
of your spiritual, physical and mental wellbeing. Healthy habits and choices can make the difference
between maintaining good health and having to deal with several medical conditions. What you
chose to do with your body or to your body will determine the quality of your health, physically and
Hotherwise. In other words, input (meditations, food, exercise, etc) determines output (general
wellness and fitness).
Outlined below are 3 important aspects you need to give attention in order to improve your overall health and sense
of wellbeing.
Meditate on the Word.
The importance of the Word of God in the life of a Christian cannot be overemphasized. Your source is the Word of
God, so your sustenance is primarily from the Word. The Bible says that the Word is life unto those that find it and
health to their flesh (Proverbs 4:20-22). Study and meditate on God's Word concerning your health and make bold
faith confessions every day; it will definitely produce the result of what it talks about in your body.
You Are What You Eat.
How healthy your body is, to a large extent, is dependent on what you feed it. What you eat becomes a part of your
body, so it is important to pay attention to what's on the menu to make sure it is good for you. A properly planned
nutritious diet will provide energy, as well as the needed materials for growth, body building and repair of tissues.
These nutrients also help to sustain the immune system and are important for the body's metabolic functions
among many other functions.
Stay Fit – Exercise.
Keeping fit isn't just for athletes or artistes; it's for everyone. Exercising should be a part of your daily or weekly
routine to help you relax and keep your muscles toned. Easy exercises range from swimming and taking walks to
carrying out household chores. Regular physical activity can help prevent or manage stress related conditions like
hypertension, heart problems and other diseases like osteoporosis, diabetes, etc.
Some say that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Create new healthy habits one at a time. Start taking walks;
reduce or stop excessive intake of carbohydrates; learn to drink more water and increase your diet's fibre
composition. Every habit starts as a single choice, so get started on your way to a healthy and wonderful life today!

“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at
the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth,
and things under the earth”
(Philippians 2:9-10).
If you've been experiencing challenges or facing difficult situations in your life, and you're ready for a change, that change
can take place right now! The scripture above is the key to the miracle you need, for it lets you know that at the mention of
the name of Jesus, every opposing force, hindrance or confrontation bows.
The name of Jesus has power over all things and over all beings, whether they are in heaven, on earth or in hell. The name
has power and authority over everything that exists. That's why Peter could say to a man who was impotent in his feet and
had never walked from birth, “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk” (Acts 3:6), and the man leapt and
walked. The name of Jesus is higher than any sickness, disease or infirmity, irrespective of what name they are called. Be it
HIV, cancer, pneumonia or tuberculosis; whatever the disease may be, it's subject to the name of Jesus.
If you've been sick in your body or you have a loved one who's been battling with an ailment, use the name of Jesus and
effect a change. Call that name, invoke its power over that sickness and begin to see yourself and that loved one in perfect
health. You can finish the year well and strong; that change you desire is possible, but only if you'd use the name of Jesus
today! Call that name with confidence and with revelation. It's the name above every name, vested with all power. Live in
that name, for it is higher, greater and more powerful than any other!
CONFESSIONS
Jesus bore all my infirmities on His own body. Therefore, I refuse to be brought down by sickness. In Christ Jesus, I live in
divine health. The name of Jesus has been named upon me, and I declare that my body is protected from all evil.
I have the miracle I desire, because my faith is working and producing results. I refuse to be sick. Jesus is Lord over my
body and in His name, divine health is mine.
God's Word is nourishment for my spirit, refreshment for my soul and health to my body. I pay attention to God's Word and I
believe what it says about me. God's Word says I'm healed; I believe with my heart and I say it with my mouth. I'm healed!
I refuse to fear diseases that strike in the dark or sudden disasters at noon; the Lord is my Shield and Strength! A thousand
shall fall at my side and ten thousand at my right hand, but no evil shall come near me. I'm divinely protected on every side!
I choose and live the good life. I have health, strength and vitality. I live in divine health, I enjoy prosperity and I walk in victory
every day of my life. Hallelujah!
