STEWARDING YOUR HEALTH FOR FREEDOM & DOMINION

Scripture Readings

3 John 1:2 (NKJV) — “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”


1 Corinthians 6:19–20 (NKJV) — “Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit… and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”


Proverbs 4:20–22 (NKJV) — “My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings… For they are life to those who find them and health to all their flesh.”


Reflection — Your Health Is a Kingdom Issue

In a world full of diet fads, exercise trends and endless wellness advice, the Christian call to health is deeper — it’s spiritual stewardship. Your body is not just flesh; it is God’s temple (1 Corinthians 6:19).
When you walk in freedom and dominion, you do not allow your body, mind or spirit to be enslaved by sickness, fatigue, neglect or despair.

Many search for “how to lose weight,” “how to sleep better,” “how to manage stress,” or “why am I always tired.” These are valid cries — but the root answer lies in aligning your physical health with your spiritual identity.

  • Do you treat your body like a borrowed car you neglect? Or like a temple you honour?
  • Are you aware that poor sleep, stress, and unchecked emotions are not just lifestyle issues, but doorways to the enemy? Research shows chronic stress and anxiety harm the body.
  • Dominion requires health: restful sleep, good nutrition, emotional peace, and spiritual exercise (like prayer, worship, tongues).


God desires that you prosper in all things and be in health just as your soul prospers (3 John 1:2). Not as a performance, but as a covenant lifestyle. When you honour your body, guard your mind, feed your spirit — the enemy loses ground, your days lengthen, your fruit multiplies.


Prayer

Father, thank You that You care about my body, mind and spirit. I surrender every unhealthy habit, every area of neglect, every source of stress and fear. Renew my body, calm my mind, rejuvenate my spirit. I commit to stewarding my health as worship, so that I may walk in freedom and dominion. In Jesus’ name. Amen.


Declaration

  • I glorify God with my body and my spirit.
  • I refuse to allow fatigue, sickness or emotional stress to rob my dominion.
  • My mind is peaceful, my body is rested, and my spirit is alert.
  • I walk in health, strength and boldness because I belong to God.

Spirit Challenge

Today:

  • Get one extra hour of rest or go to bed 30 minutes earlier.
  • Replace one unhealthy snack with water and fruit.
  • Spend 10 minutes in prayer or tongues specifically for your body, stress and health.
  • Declare: “My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit — it honours Him.”
