SERIES: PHYSICAL PREPARATION

Scripture Reading:

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” 3 John 1:2

��️ MEDITATION:

A physically prepared believer is resilient to sickness, fatigue, and weakness. Strengthening the body is not just about appearance or fitness—it is about building resistance so that your vessel can endure God’s assignments.

God desires that His people prosper in body as well as in spirit. This requires intentional practices: proper rest, nutrition, hydration, exercise, and avoiding harmful habits.

Failing to care for the body can slow down spiritual, mental, and emotional effectiveness.

Spiritual preparation is amplified when the body can withstand stress, disease, and fatigue.

Your physical resilience supports your spiritual endurance and effectiveness in life’s mission.

�� KEY TRUTHS ABOUT IMMUNITY AND RESISTANCE

1. God Desires Health for His People: Health is part of God’s plan.

“…that thou mayest prosper and be in health…” 3 John 1:2

2. Prevention Strengthens Resistance: Preparation today reduces struggles tomorrow.

Supporting Scripture:

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil… walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” — 1 Peter 5:8 (vigilance includes caring for your body)

Supporting Scripture:

“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength…” — Isaiah 40:31
