Are you average?
Average weight - today that is 20 pounds overweight
Average height - 5'6" for women, 5' 7" men
Average health - sick 3x per year
Average income - $60,000 per year
Average Christian - read the bible 1-3 x week, attend church 2-3 x month
Yet, 1 Thessalonians 4:10; urge you brethren to excel still more.
Excel - in weight - would mean to be within healthy range with a BMI of 19 - 24.
When I worked in a medical office for missionaries I was the BMI police. If missionaries were not within their ideal BMI range they were encouraged to not return to the field. I say encouraged because some would sneak back overseas before being cleared. UUGH!
That was an impossible job. Christians don't want to be told to lose weight. They had every excuse imaginable. Yet, with a few variables the BMI chart is very close to recommending a healthy weight for most people.
Check it out for yourself here.
Excel - in health - would mean only getting sick every 3-4 years and not 3-4x per year. Yes, this is very possible.
It starts with being at an ideal weight, adding a good fasting discipline, supplementing well and eating the foods God designed for you! If any of these objectives need work - let's get to it! Start with our 7 Steps to Biblical Health FREE course.
Excel - in income - this gets tricky because it is more personal than weight. Many people only pray for 'enough'. Yet money enables us to do more. What if we expanded our prayers for God to bless with a higher income so we could in turn bless others. What if we prayed for exponential growth in our income?
God knows our heart and He uses money to us to show through us his blessings to others.
Successful people have more than 1 stream of income. Some experts will say you need 5 streams of income. I totally agree.
When we went through job changes in the last 3 years our plan B became plan A which kept us moving forward in our ministry and living. It removed the anxiety.
Everyone should consider a Network Marketing business as a plan B. Over 80% of women making 6 and 7 figures do so in network marketing. Truly it is the best way to serve others, be on mission and create a residual income. If you want to learn about my business connect here: [email protected].
Excel - in your Christian walk - this is why we have created the 7 Steps to Biblical Health. It introduces and encourages the concept of Belief!
What do you believe about yourself?
Do those beliefs agree with God's Word?
Beliefs determine behavior.
Reading the Bible randomly and attending church sporadically demonstrate lack of belief in God's presence. Your beliefs are demonstrated in your behavior.
Let me encourage you to Excel Still More! We are not done with this life. There is more to come.
We need our health, wealth, and our walk with the Lord to continually EXCEL!
Don't give up - don't give in.
This journey is our purpose. And remember: God Loves You!
I enjoy serving you daily through these table talks, You Tube videos and soon our podcast.
