20 September 2020 - ENCS

Today Pastor Joey spoke about the topic of health
Most sermons focus on our souls, minds, or wealth
But given the environment we are living in today
Look at what Ecclesiastes nine four has to say
That anyone who is among the living has hope
So staying physically healthy helps us to cope

Related to our bodies, there are two extremes
The body obsessed, preoccupied even in dreams
The body abused, who neglect most of the time
We must find the appropriate balanced paradigm
This relates to choices, looks, nutrition, and rest
Coming up with what is right and what is best

Per oft quoted First Corinthians six verse nineteen
Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, it is seen
A temple is where we meet God, so holy and pure
Our bodies belong to Jesus, His death did procure
Per Ephesians two, we are God’s workmanship
To do His good works, our bodies He did equip

On what defines our bodies, Pastor then did talk
Essence, value, and purpose in our earthly walk
Our bodies and behaviour should honour God
Taking care of our bodies is more than a facade

We must also fill our bodies, per Acts chapter two
To get the Holy Spirit, to repent is what we must do
Acknowledging God and under His influence being
Per Ephesians five, this is actually be quite freeing

Unlike alcohol which if drunk too much can debilitate
The Spirit is unlimited and always is a positive state
Out of Spirit flows living water rivers, per John seven
This is a promise directly from the Son of heaven 

Walking by the Spirit is different, per Galatians five
We must be decisive so the Spirit’s fruits come alive
Be determined as those fruits take time to mature
The result will be both health and holiness for sure
And be dependent on the Spirit by keeping in step
That is without a doubt the best type of health prep
