1 Timothy 4:8
For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.

Keeping a healthy body requires a number of factors. while dieticians places alot of premium on good nutrition, it is worthy to note that a proportion of exercise plays a role to balance the equation.

Just as nutrition and exercise is relevant to keeping a healthy body, every believer require a much higher dose of spiritual nourishment/activies to stay vitalise in our daily work with God.

Apostle Paul advised Timothy on the profitability of going to the gym to work it out, he placed more relevance on exercising spiritually: because it has more returns on investment here on earth and when we get to heaven.

While physical exercise builds our bodies, Godly exercise give life to our spirit, soul and body. This is so because a healthy soul or spirit means a healthy body. (proverbs 14:30)

let's look into the various way we can exercise unto godliness:

Firstly, we have got to cultivate the Habit of prayer and fasting. A prayerful Christian is a powerful christian. (James 5:16), prayers increases our God-conciousness, it increases our faith and strength in God, (Jude 1:20), prayer affirms our obedience to God,
it brings solutions to questions(Jer. 33:3)

Secondly, we need to be voracious about studying and meditating God's word because it's our nutrition. (peter 2:2) , it builds our faith? (Romans 10:17), it is our weapon (Eph 6:17).
It won't cost a thing to memorise and meditate on certain scriptures that relates to specific issues in life. So when challenges comes in that regard, you cut it to size like a piece of cake. Hallelujah.

Godly exercise also includes praise and worship, singing in psalms and making melodies in your heart(Eph 5:18).

When we cultivate the fruits of the Spirit in our lives e.g love, joy, self control, patience e.t.c, we are exercising our selves unto godliness. Hallelujah.

Prayer:

Receive the grace to be fervent in the Spirit, May the Hunger for spiritual things increase in your life leading you to success in life and ministry. Amen
