The Body, very Important Asset for Life.



The Body is our vehicle for Life on earth, but apparently we value other things more than our bodies. For instance, We wash our cars weekly and put the best gasoline in them. We are careful about the service schedule and the type of oil we use for our cars and If something happens to the car, we immediately take it to the car service to fix it. However, when it comes to our real “car”, our body, we get lost on the way. When it comes to investing money in the ” good gas” for our bodies, we hesitate. Why is that? Is the car more valuable than our bodies? Is the Health of the car more important the health our bodies? The Answer is NO! We need to invest more on oiling our Machine i.e. our bodies. Comprehensive body checks should be undergone yearly. Complete health checkup is done in order to have a clear picture of a person's overall health, it means checking all aspects of vital health and finding out if there are any issues in early stage. Health check-ups are necessary especially for people with risk factors of different health problems. It can also help in early detection and treatment of a health disorder. This can be the difference between Life and Death.
Most Diseases are treatable if detected early bearing in mind that some diseases do not show symptoms until the later Stage, and in most cases by the time the symptoms show it's already late.  A yearly Comprehensive health Checkup is advised, find below a list of checkups that comprises a COMPLETE HEALTH CHECK UP.

THE IGNORANCE OF FASTING TODAY. In literary terms fasting can be defined as the abstinence of food for the attainment of spiritual edification. Lately, I got an insight that restructured my mindset towards this subject. During fasting, the pathway to your soul is open and ready for rejuvenation; Hence some folks contact strange spirits, sickness and mental disorder right there at the mountain of intercession. Praying and fasting is never the  sole patent of Born again Christians as everyone thought ; Even Occultic/mystic practitioners, Hindus, Buddhist and African traditional worshipers such as native doctors, rain makers, etc undergo fasting before embarking on heavy  incantations. Those in the business of Astral or soul traveling can decode what I'm saying. The two doors that opens to the soul during fasting includes: 1.Realm of divinity 2.Realm of premortal  darkness. When fasting is done in consonance with the principles of God, one plunges into the re...
