82ND ARTICLE IN ALL.Hello! How are you doing? I know you all had a very good bath this morning, a very fresh one. Nevertheless, as you have read from the title of my write-up, CLEANLINESS, I will be a bit practical and it might be funny.
It is a beautiful thing to be clean because it brings honour to God and to ourselves. Cleanliness starts with the cleaning of the mouth and the washing of our bodies. Cleanliness leads to good health and good health is possibly one of the most important things in life. Every other achievements or possessions in life become totally insignificant when a person is not healthy. When we are sick, no other thing in this life makes sense or is of any interest to us. All we desire is to get well soon.
Cleanliness is next to godliness. Man's desire for food, shelter pleasure, clothes and other needs are conditional to good health. Productivity and achievements of goals are crucially dependent on good health. Everyone needs good health to function optimally and achieve excellent results. Cleanliness is the trademark of the godly.
HOW CAN WE PRACTICE CLEANLINESS?
Regular washing of our clothes and cleaning the surroundings are marks of decency. It indicates how orderly we are and how concerned we are about our health. Uncleanliness dishonours God. it breeds offensive odor and it is an indicator of a disorganised lifestyle. Cleanliness facilitates healthy-living, keep germs that cause diseases away and enhances productivity. We must therefore cultivate the habit of cleanliness. As much as possible, avoid wearing clothes that are dirty and stained with sweat. Clean and brush your shoes regularly. Clean your mouth early in the morning and at least before you sleep at night. It is also expedient to clean it after each major meal.
Sweep your rooms regularly and arrange your clothes and other materials orderly. Avoid throwing things around everywhere. Demarcate where things ought to be and ensure that they are put there. Always remember that a clean surrounding and a clean body will lead to improve healthy living. START IT TODAY!
Thanks for reading again.
Cleanliness from our hearts is really next to Godliness. Turning back to Him needs repentance. It would be useless to serve God if we have uncleaned hearts.
