Physical exercise has some value, but spiritual exercise is valuable in every way, because it promises life both for the present and for the future (1 Timothy 4:8 GNB).
The most successful people in the world do very little thinking, yet achieve so much. This may come to you as a surprise but it’s the truth. They have learnt to look to their spirits for answers. To be very successful you have to train your spirit, Exercise your spirit. As a new creation in Christ Jesus, your spirit can be an accurate guide because that’s where the light of God is: “The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly” (Proverbs 20:27).
Your spirit can receive light from God; ideas and thoughts that'll make you creative and excellent in all you do, such that you’ll hardly find yourself in trial-and-error situations. But for your spirit to be an accurate guide, you have to educate him. This kind of eduction is different from what you get from school. School education only helps to get your mind enlightened, but won’t suffice for you to be the best in life. That’s because the highest potential of the human nature isn’t in the mind but in the spirit.
So begin the exercise of educating your spirit with the Word. Do this by studying and meditating on the Word consistently. Spend quality time to listen to God’s Word regularly! That way, you develop your spirit for success and excellence. God’s plan is for you to have your spirit Exercised so He can relate with you at a high level.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the revelation of your Word to my spirit today. The entrance of your Word into my spirit grants me the light by which I function in the high levels of glory! As I study and contemplate your Word today, my spirit-man is illuminated to become a sure guide. Therefore, I know I won’t walk in confusion, for I have in me the light of life.
FURTHER STUDY
Proverbs 20:27
The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
Hebrews: 5:14
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

PRACTICAL TIPS FOR STAYING HEALTHY.
Dearly beloved, we want to share with you practical tips for staying healthy. The 1st tip is laughter
Proverbs 17:22, “A merry heart doeth good like medicine but a broken spirit dries the bones.”
Laughter is very important. In your life, learn to laugh. Do not surround yourself with an atmosphere of sorrow or sadness. In Nehemiah 8:10, the bible declares that “The joy of the Lord is your strength”.
Joy activates the power of God in your life whilst sorrow activates the devil. You must learn to laugh. Always be full of joy and be happy. Paul in his letter to the Philippians wrote “Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say rejoice”.Laugh! Laugh. Real laughter. Do not let your life be uptight or too serious. Laugh! A day should not go by without you laughing. Do not take yourself too seriously. Even if you think there is nothing to laugh about, you go ahead and make somebody else laugh. Do not take things too seriously. Do you know that frowning all the time can give you wrinkles on your face whilst anger can cause tension headaches? Instead of being angry and frowning laugh. Laughter should be like a medicine you take everyday. A day should not go by without you laughing. If everyday you moan, complain, whine and gripe saying “nobody loves me, nobody cares for me etc, this would weaken your faith.
Proverbs 12:25; “Heaviness in the heart of man makes it stoop but a good word makes it glad”. If nobody is cheering you up, you can get a good word for yourself from the scriptures. For example 1 John 3:2 has a good word “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou gayest prosper and be in good health even as thy soul prospereth. This is a really good word. You start by saying, “Hallelujah! I’m prospering, I am in health, this is what God wants for me. I’m living a good life.” Remember (A cheerful heart does good like medicine, but a broken spirit makes one sick. - The Living Bible). Laughter and a good word will make your heart glad
When you go to the hospital the doctor says take this tablet, three times daily. You take it religiously because you believe that it will help you get well. In the same vein, we want to prescribe a medicine for you. It’s called laughter. Everyday you must laugh. Have a good laugh at least three times a day. This is the word of God; a merry heart is like medicine. Amplified version – A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones. Laugh, until you are full of laughter. Do not be depressed. Depression is not good and besides it is not of God. When you laugh, there will be strength. Laugh for the joy of the Lord is your strength; it is not an empty scripture. Learn to be happy because you have the victory. Hallelujah

Leadership
A leader in the house of God is the one that take responsibility and can be rely and counted upon. He is the one that have been given the mantle of leadership over the world to win, raise and nurture them in the way of the Lord. He gives direction and speaks the mind of God in every matters or situation. He is a shepherd in the house that protects and care for the sheep.
Spiritual leadership is not a title but a responsibility. If you are a Christian, it means you have been called into this category of leadership and you are now the light of your world, but you need to be raised and trained in things of the Spirit, so you can be able to handle them. Before I explain what I mean by the things of the Spirit, it is very important that we understand the make up of a man.
Man is a Spirit that has a soul but lives in a body, 1 thessalonians 5V23. The body is the physical part of a man that gives us right to live here on earth, but the soul is our mind our reasoning faculty where we function intellectually, while the spirit is non-material part of a man that respond to deity. Our spirit makes contact with divinity. This is the reason why we should be concern about those that are not born-again and win them to Christ because when a man is not born-again He is not recognized in heaven therefore he is at mercy of the devil. Our spiritual responsibility is to make sure we bring the lost souls into the house and disciple them that is the essence of spiritual leadership.
The Word of God is spirit and life and to get acquainted with the things of the spirit, we must get to know and meditate on the Word and grow in it. 1peter 2v2 says, “as new born babes, desires the sincere milk of the Word that ye may grow there by.” The Word of God can build us up in righteousness Romans 1v16-17. To be successful and prosper as a Christian we must be able to balance our spiritual needs which are the most important needs of man because human needs are spiritual. Act 28V27.Romance 12v1-2.

Thoughts are descriptive imaginations of the mind. They can be good (positive) or bad (negative). Thoughts can be external (i.e. not originating) from you or they can be your own thoughts.
For example you may be thinking of the food you want to eat or some place you want to go. That is a thought that comes from you.
However, there are certain thoughts that come to you which are not from you. These thoughts are not good thoughts. For example, a thought may come to you in this form:
- “You are going to loose your healing”
“The pains you used to suffer will come back again”
“All the symptoms are going to return”
“Nobody ever got healed from this kind of condition(e.g. HIV, Cancer)”
When these kinds of thoughts come to you, you must know they are not from you. No right thinking person wishes evil for himself. They are also not from God. He says in His Word; Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end”. The end you expect is certainly not death or being confined to a wheel chair or sentenced to a life of pills and daily insulin injections.
So if you are not the one thinking these thoughts and they are not from God, then where are they from? That’s a very good question. These negative thoughts are from the devil.
By the time you are through reading this mail you would have learnt how to handle negative thoughts.
HOW TO HANDLE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS
Recognize that these thoughts are not from you
They are external they are like an outside force, trying to invade you.
Do not permit thoughts of fear, doubt etc
The Bible says “Give no place to the devil” Ephesians 4:27. Do not give the devil any place in your life through thoughts of fear or doubt.
Do not dwell on negative thoughts
Dwelling on negative thoughts is a form of meditation. When you dwell on them, you are actually meditating on them. Before you know it, these negative thoughts will become larger than life to you. So don’t fuel the thoughts by thinking about them.
Replace negative thoughts with thoughts from the Word of God
If you are not going to dwell on or think negative thoughts then what should you do? You must replace these negative thoughts with the Word of God. The Bible says in Philippians 4:8 “….Think on these things….”What things? “Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there be any virtue and if there is anything praise worthy- meditate on these things” that’s what you should think of.
For example, death is not God’s will for you. The wheel chair is not God’s will for you. So what will you think of? Think of yourself healthy, doing all the things you will like to do. Have a picture of yourself strong and healthy. The more you dwell on these thoughts, the more real it will become to you.
Reject negative thoughts
Reject everything contrary to God’s Word, Plans and Provisions for your health. When thoughts of fear, doubt etc come, don’t be afraid. Stand firm and reject those thoughts. Speak out loud and say “devil I reject every thought contrary to God’s Plan and Provisions for my health. I reject thoughts of fear and pictures of death. I am the healed of God. By the stripes of Jesus I was healed more than 2000 years ago and I’m still healed now. The healing anointing is working in me. Divine life is in my body. I refuse to fear. I reject doubt and fear in Jesus Name. Amen.
Beloved, the Bible says “Guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the forces of life” Proverbs 4:23. The overcoming life which you have received is in you. The Greater one lives in you. Never be afraid.
Stand your ground and speak the word. When you think on the Word, you will speak the Word. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks Luke 6:45. Let the Word fill your heart (spirit) and your mouth will always speak the Word.
Remember that God loves you so much that he gave his life for you. He paid for your healing so you can live a life of joy, victory and health. So never be afraid. Stand firm, reject all negative thoughts. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. James 4:7

How to Develop Your Spirit
In James 1:25 says; but whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
It is the desire of every believer to make Spiritual advancement and grow in the things of God. Unfortunately, not many know how to do so and this is why I’m sharing with you today on How to develop your Spirit.
In order to develop your Spirit, you must practice the Word of God. Practicing the Word is doing what the Word says to do. Maybe you don’t have any money on you and you’re worried about what you will eat and wear plus all these, your rent is overdue. What you need do at this point is take your eyes off your needs and practice Philippians 4:6; Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs and don’t forget to thank him for his answer (TLB)
When you make God and His Word the First resort in your life, your attitude to life will change and you’ll reap what the Word says. As you practice the Word, worry, doubt, fear and unbelief will be removed from you, and new Words of faith and success will fill your mouth. Refuse to complain and murmur about your situation, for complainers have no place in the Word of God.
In Developing your Spirit is never an isolated, individualistic pursuit but it’s achieved through your relationship and fellowship with the Word. You were made by God and for God- and not until you understand that, life will never make sense. God is not just the starting point of your life; He is the source of it.
Your response to the Word of God is so important as faith is the response of the human spirit to the Word of God.This is the reason you must make quality decision today to practice the Word of God no matter the challenges you're going through.You must decide to move forward to influence people and your circumstance instead of being influenced by them because this is the essence God want you to develop your Spirit and grow up in the things of God.
Dear Heavenly Father, your Word is my life and the light through which I find my way.
Open my eyes by your Spirit and help me to see and understand your Word more so that I may be but up in knowledge and true wisdom, in Jesus Name, Amen
Act 20:32. 1peter2;2
