SUPPLEMENTS: THE NEXT COVID-19!

Supplements—this word seems so innocent and sounds so unthreatening. However, it is cause for much concern. 


Generally, supplements are substances people take in order to either add nutrients to their diet or lower their risk of developing certain medical conditions such as osteoporosis, arthritis, among others. These substances usually come in form of tablets, capsules, gel, powder, extracts or liquids. They might contain vitamins, minerals, fibre, herbs or other plants and they often don’t require a doctor’s prescription to be bought. 


Undoubtedly, for some people, their doctor may recommend a supplement where they don’t get sufficient vitamins and minerals from their daily diet. But over the cause of the years, there has been an alarming trend. Many people have replaced healthy and balanced diet with supplements. This is highly erroneous. Supplements should never be taken in the place of proper diet. The food we eat is meant to supply the body with the necessary vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and as such, the body will always need nutrition gotten from food and nothing should replace it.


Others have replaced medical care with supplements. This is another alarming misconception. This is most likely due to some of the “miracles” which some of these supplements are advertised to perform. In the case of supplements, the saying which goes “when something seems too good to be true, it probably is”, stands true.


Many others have also taken to combining supplements with their medication without first consulting their doctor or health care providers. This can be dangerous as certain ingredients are not to be combined and may either worsen the person’s condition, or undermine the treatment.


Yet a number of people now view supplements as an all-in-one preventive measure against all ailments.


The ads which a majority of the companies producing these supplements utilize, have unfortunately fuelled these wrong beliefs. Some promise that the supplements would keep people from getting sick or prevent them from developing a particular medical condition. Some even go as far as promising to prolong the lives of people. Sadly, there is usually little or no scientific research undertaken before these claims are paraded before people. The ads are designed with the aim of making as much economic gain as possible. The companies are very rarely driven out of concern for the health and well being of people. The influencers and promoters of the supplements are often well compensated to dish out all manner of “wonders” done by these supplements. Many of these promoters are people who are well liked or popular enough to draw a crowd and as such, people would be more inclined to go for supplements which have purportedly been tested and proven by celebrities. Funny enough, some of these companies even go as far as recruiting medical doctors (who should know better than to promote supplements) to further promote their products. The idea behind this tactic is that there is greater confidence in a product if a medical personnel vouches for it. And where there is greater confidence, automatically there would be a hike in sales. 


It is true that a few of these supplements may be helpful which is why it is best to seek the advice of your doctor or health care provider first. However, many of these supplements could turn out to be harmful or on the other hand, be of no health value whatsoever to the person. 


What people fail to understand is that they have so much more to benefit from effecting healthy adjustments. These adjustments may include such things as including healthier and richer foods in their diet, excluding junk, reducing fatty foods, including fruits, veget

Our pastors are the spiritual leaders God has placed over us in the church. They captain the church administration and ensure that the work of God goes smoothly. 


We should however remember that although they are our spiritual leaders, they are also as human as we are and as such need and desire the support of their congregation. No matter how anointed pastors are, they still need people. There is no leader that can exist without followers. The church isn’t made up of the pastor alone, this is why the church is commonly referred to as the body of Christ. And just as the body has different parts, each contributing its support to the smooth functioning of the body as a whole, so also does the church need the support of its members to function well. 


That being said, here are a few simple ways to love and cherish your pastor:


Live a life of holiness: I know this may seem surprising but it is indeed true. An amazing though indirect way to show your pastor that you love and cherish them is to live a life of holiness. It is indirect because the primary reason for living a holy life isn’t to please your pastor or any man but rather, to please God. In addition to this however, imagine how happy and pleased your pastor would be when they discover that their sermons aren’t falling on deaf ears. That the Word which God has sent them to preach is actually being heeded by their members, that people are turning away from their evil ways and committing to holy living. The pastor in charge of a church whose members are heavenly minded and given to pleasing God, is sure to feel loved and cherished. 


Pray constantly for your pastor: Much as pastors are our spiritual leaders who pray and intercede for us, it doesn’t derogate from the fact that they also need prayers probably even more than most of their members. This is because they face many attacks, spiritual and otherwise by reason of the fact that they are in the front lines of the battle to depopulate hell and deliver God's people from spiritual bondage. 


Remember that ordinarily, Christians face persecution because of the name of Christ. How much more those who are in charge of a population of Christians. There have been true life stories of countless and varied assassination attempts on pastors, kidnapping, physical attacks, among others. And how about the spiritual attacks that we don’t even get to hear about? Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown, pastors bear a lot of burdens, even beyond attacks, financial burdens, the burdens of their members, mentees and spiritual children, their own family burdens and so much more. They need our constant prayers. James 5:16b (KJV) says “the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” If the prayer of just one person is this powerful, how much more the prayers of a righteous congregation for their pastor. 


The more we pray for our pastors, the more able they are to bear our burdens—it will even be highly beneficial to us, as they benefit from our prayers, we benefit much more from theirs.


Support church projects financially: Many Christians do not like to hear about giving, sad but true. Whether we like it or not, as long as we are in this world, the church will continue to have financial needs. There will always be ongoing projects in the church ranging from providing for the welfare of the needy, to expansion of structures to accommodate more people, to financial support for evangelism outreaches, and so much more.
