Super Foods

Going Back to the Baiscs

Wednesday Health Check:

Good morning friends. I hope you are having a great week so far. Thank you for taking part in this Wednesday’s health; your contribution to this platform means a lot.
As I promised in last’s week post, today we are looking at one of the superfoods, the onions.

The theme for the Wednesday health checks is to find ways to live healthy in a natural way, the original form of living from the garden of Eden. As we all know, medicine is one of the most outstanding solutions God gave to us; however, depending on them for a living comes with a whole range of side effects. Hence supplementing with natural superfoods improves the quality of life.

Prayer For the Sick

Before we can continue, I felt led to pray for the sick this morning. Some people are in desperate need of God’s divine intervention this day; may you kindly stand with me as we pray for the sick this morning:

Father in the might name of Jesus; we come to You this morning, full of gratitude and thanksgiving; we give You all the praise and adoration. We honor You and give all the glory to Your holy name.

This morning, we are praying for all the sick; some are in hospitals; some cannot go to the medical institutions because of financial constraints.

We come to you and ask for your mercy and grace to available to them in this time of need. May You stretch forth Your mighty hand of power and touch them. May You send Your word to each one of them and heal them. Lord, we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
