Your body is the house of God here on earth. The Holy Ghost dwells in it. It is a channel through which God touches the world and displays His glory. You need to cherish it, take good care of it, and keep it clean.
When the Bible said, “bodily exercise” it means to exercise self-discipline and boundaries. Your body cannot have everything it desires. Be disciplined with meals and stay away from things that defile the body. God needs your body, and you need it to pursue your dreams.
Do I treat my body with dignity knowing that it is the temple of God?
Pray: I decree and declare that my body is the house of God. Satan cannot come in. Jesus is the Lord of my body. Sickness and disease cannot reside in my body. My body is obedient to me and the will of God. I am whole in my body in Jesus’ name. Amen!
