Exercising and keeping fit can also reduce depression. New findings also indicate that Exercise also increases creativity. So when you are sometimes dry and not inspired, het into exercise to resume the creative system. THAT MEANS EXERCISE CAN BRING THE GENIUS IN YOU! Also, regular exercises and physical activity have been confirmed to reverse the effects of aging and increase life expectancy.

For each hour you invest in exercise, you gain two or more in longevity. Just as physical activity can prevent early death, so regular  spiritual activities such as fasting, daily Bible reading, praise and worship, joining an evangelism (soul winning) club, visiting hospitals or orphanages, daily meditations exercises on the Word of God , learning to hear the God regularly, running from sin, etc, can prolong your level of grace anointing. There are even times trials and temptations are exercises allowed by God to train your spiritual muscles and tone (Heb.12:11). 1 Timothy 4:7 sums it all, that despite the great advantage of physical and mental exercise, “Exercise thyself rather to godliness.” That means, strive to keep fit spiritually! our daily manna bible verses
