WHAT ARE YOU EATING?

Hey Sisterss! So what have you been eating? What is your diet like? Do you have a meal plan?? I talk a whole lot about this subject because i am so passionate about health/fitness/lifestyle. I've seen how for sure, it is one of the most critical areas of life. Did you know that what you are eating is either killing you or making you alive? Take a moment and think about that. I want to encourage you to begin to tend towards more natural, healthy and organic food. I personally know of some people that have replaced water with Soda and fizzy drinks in their diet, hardly remembering to drink water for weeks and yet they are wondering why their immune system is always down. I also know of people who live on junk food year in year out. Their diet is full of processed/packaged food. Nothing fresh or healthy at any point in time and yet they too wonder why they are always low on productive energy. I know of some other people still, who would NEVER go to the farmer's market to buy fresh food, fruits and vegetables and yet they wonder why they are sick ALL the time. Your body needs to be cleaned out!!! Some of you sisters need to just begin a detox plan already to flush away all that stale toxins from your body. I remember a time when i got sick all the time. Talk about alll the timee!! It was costing me a lot of money to buy drugs and run these many tests and so my finances were depleting constantly as a result and i was complaining all the time simply because i was ignorant. One day, i cried out to the Lord to heal me. I mean, i had been crying out to him every now and then but this time around i had just had it to my maximum point. After screaming and praying and asking God to heal me, i heard him speak in a still small voice the precious words that changed my life forever!!. He said "change your diet" That was it. That was all. Sometimes the answer to our prayers are not what we think. We always have our eyes somewhere else on one big thing  but it would take the Spirit of God to show us that sometimes, we are the very cause of our own problems. After i sat to ponder for a bit over those words, i realized and admitted that God was indeed right. I was going days and even weeks without remembering to buy fruits/veggies, work-out, rest or clock in on my daily doze of minimum water intake. I couldn't care about exercise because i was plain lazy and full of excuses yet i was wondering why God hadn't healed me, SMH. Because faith without works is dead. "So you see, faith by itself isn't good enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless". James 2:17(NLT) I was perishing for my lack of knowledge and then blaming it on God. "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge..." Hosea 4:6 (KJV) How many of us are in that place today? We eat whatever we like and we don't care about it's adverse effect  on our health. Yet we are complaining of one thing or the other going wrong with our bodies. Are you paying attention to what you are eating? You can't live on sweets, soft drinks and processed/packaged food that has a shelf life of probably four (4)  whole years and expect to be healthy, because you reap only what you sow, even health wise. That food is stale baby girl!! Does God care about what we eat? Absolutely, Yes!! He created fruits, vegetables and water for a reason! He knew that in them would lie the keys to living healthy, strong and disease-free. God is the author of life so everything he created was designed to give life, including the food we eat. Back then in the university, when you opened my fridge, you only saw fruits, veggies, and a ton of homemade smoothies for real for real. Hahaha. It annoyed so many of my friends who just couldn't get why i was so obsessed. I don't know how you see it, but the rate at which diseases are springing up all over the world is a sign that there is something largely wrong with what we are consuming. So i ask you, what are you feeding yourself? God needs you strong, healthy and in good shape to fulfill your assignment here on earth. You don't want to be chasing your dreams and dealing with a heart disease or blood related issues or whatever else. It would slow you down for sure.( And if you are currently down on any bodily disease, i pray that the healing power of Christ would touch you right now in Jesus name! Amen.) But you can start afresh. Detox your system and begin a whole new health journey entirely. It's never too late. Just make sure you are not the cause of your own problems. Diet is so important yet it is one of the most neglected ares of life. Somehow, in this generation we feel like we are showing our children love by  buying them all the unhealthy things they want all year round- sweets, chocolate, soda, etc- and it has become the number one leading cause of obesity in children. Let's give them things that would build their immunity and keep them alive. All that stuff is killing them faster than anything else! Have a workout routine. Do your aerobics and cardio exercises. Work those muscles out and increase those heart rates. Swim often and offer to take the stairs instead of using the elevator all the time. It's soo good for you! Side bar: You will get tested! The moment you choose to pull away from all the unhealthy things you have been feeding on, your flesh will cry out. Then someone will suddenly offer to buy you Cold Stone ice-cream or some free sugar-crusted doughnut, then a friend or sibling will suddenly come back with a jar of chocolate. Then someone will suddenly gift you sodas and fizzy drinks. And then you begin to rationalize based on the quantity you are taking in. Lol, RESIST the entire temptation process. Always remember that this is one of the best investments you can make in yourself- Clean Feeding. You may not see it now, but it would definitely pay off in old age. So tell me, what do you feel convicted to cut out of your life and diet today? I want to hear from you. Love you sisters. And have a great weekend. Abba loves you super very much!!
