TOPIC:  HEALTH MATTERS IN YOUR FAMILY

ICE BREAKER:  Where do you think a couple should place the majority of their energy: getting richer or enjoying good health?

REFLECTION: According to WHO, health is ”a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”.  A healthy family may be defined as a safe and secure place where members receive and give love, as their emotional, social, spiritual, and physical needs are met in an appropriate manner.  Because of its impact on the family, the health of our marriage needs to be given special attention. So in our discussion, we want to share biblical ways of enjoying good health individually and as families.  We want to enjoy the promises of God starting with 3 John 1:2 (… I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit).

TEXTS: (NLT)

Exodus 15:26: ”He said, if you will listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his sight, obeying his commands and keeping all his decrees, then I will not make you suffer any of the diseases I sent on the Egyptians; for I am the Lord who heals you”

Psalm 91:14-16:  ”Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.  He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life, I will satisfy him and show him my salvation I will reward them with long life and give them my salvation“.

DISCUSSION:

1. Based on the scriptures above, share your testimony on how the Lord has fulfilled His word in your family.
2. What practical steps does the Bible direct us to take as couples so as to enjoy good health as a family?
3. In undesirable times of carrying the burden of ill health and circumstances of grief, how can families stand with others to regain wholeness?
   
   

Take time to PRAY with one another, commit to a healthy lifestyle, and declare God’s healing upon family members and friends. Feel free to sing along together the song ‘I am the God that health thee’ by Don Moen.
