Keeping Shape

Simple ways to get Healthy and fit without leaving your home and sweating it out in the gym.
⁠
Today let me talk about Belly fat which is a return gift that our not so planned lifestyle and wrong eating habits give us. Belly fat has always been a major concern area in this part of the world. This is because of the fatty and starchy foods that we eat. It settles on our waist region and stays. Belly fats not only destroy images but also increases risk in all areas of our body. Belly fat put pressure on our joints causing arthritis/ Rheumatism. It causes many other health ailments. Try these tips that I read somewhere to lose the fat deposits around your belly.

1. Start your day with lemon juice

This is one of the best therapies to eliminate belly fat. Pour some lemon juice into a glass of warm water and add some salt to it. Continue drinking this every morning to boost your metabolism and to get rid of that paunch. If you are hypertensive, just drink it like that.

2. Stay off from white Rice

Replace white rice with ofada rice. Ofada Rice is planted and harvested locally. There is no polishing of it so its raw. Be careful with the sand. Also eat more of wheat product,  whole grains and oats.

3. Avoid sugary substances

Stay away from sweets, sweetened drinks and foods rich in oil. Consuming these foods can increase body fat around various areas of your body like abdomen and thighs. Avoid Coke if you can.

4. Drink plenty of water

If you want to get rid of your belly, then drink plenty water every day. Drinking water, after regular intervals will help to boost your metabolism and remove toxins from your body.

5. Eat raw garlic

Chew two to three cloves of garlic every morning, and drink a glass of lemon water after that. This treatment will double up your weight loss process and make your blood circulation smooth in your body. you can chew ginger too to eliminate gas in your system especially your belly.

6. Avoid non-veg food

To eliminate belly fat, it is recommended that one should avoid non-vegetarian food as far as possible. Drink bitter leaves liquid every morning too. It helps a lot

7. Load up on fruits and vegetables

Eat a bowl of fruits daily in the morning and evening. This will fill you up with many antioxidants,minerals and vitamins.

8. Spice up your cooking

Use spices like cinnamon, ginger and pepper in your cooking. These spices are loaded with health benefits. They help to improve your insulin resistance and reduce levels of sugar in your blood. Please Don't over do this sha!
Will write more on this on a later date. For now take care and live healthy to avoid problems later.

judging a man of God

I just read on the internet about the self-made social and fashion critic, Emmy Collins in Nigeria who criticized a Pastor for contesting an election and loosing every time as not hearing from God.

Also read that last year, he was always in the News for taking on celebrities in one fight or the other. I read that he is out to tell people especially the famous ones what they are doing wrong.

That is really wonderful except that he may have forgotten that no man on earth including himself  is perfect. JESUS is the only perfect one.

I don't have any problem with him taking on those celebrities and politicians though many people waved him off, calling him an attention seeker. Where I have problem is him taking on a man of God. The Bibles states

touch not my anointed and do my Prophets no harm

.........He criticizing a man of God, called by God is something no one should support. He should not go there at all. He did not call the Pastor and the Pastor is not answerable to him but to God. He should leave the Pastor to God and not incur the wrath of God.

Even the platform I read the story from described the Pastor as Nigeria's controversial man of God, The Man of God they are referring to is Reverend Chris Okotie of the Household of God Church, Ikeja  NIGERIA.
Collins says Okotie is the worst pastor in Nigeria today and that the founder and General Overseer of Household of God Church is not qualified to be called a man of God because he left the Church to go contest the Presidential Election..
Hear what Emmy Collins had to say:

This is officially one of the worst Pastors presently in Nigeria. He reckons God spoke to him to contest in the election. Didn’t God promise him that he will win?

When God directed David to fight Goliath, he ensured that David won because the Lord was with David

.

That his church members believe all these lies that exits this guy’s mouth and that of his ilk is quite worrisome.

This not a man of God because a man of God would not waste as much money as this chap is wasting while some of his church members are wallowing in abject poverty. This is downright mean.

I don't know whether to call him a comedian for making fun of the calling and the anointing on Reverend Chris Okotie or to just think he is seeking cheap publicity. Whatever it is, he is going way beyond the bounds allowed. Moses was insulted and criticised by his relations and God dealt with his relations until Moses intervened and prayed to God on their behalf. Unfortunately for this Collins, when God will decide to fight for his servant, Rev Chris may not know to pray for him.
I hope we will learn to leave the men and women of God and their activities to God to judge. We didnt call them. Let the one who called them into the Ministry be the one to discipline them if need be. Lets not incur the wrath of God because of ignorance. By the way, ignorance is no excuse in law and even in religion.
