“God Wants You Healthy”

Today is a very exciting day as I want to announce the publication of Dr. Gilbert Birungi’s first book called “God Wants You Healthy” Your Health is God’s Priority!!!  Get it now, as it is hot off of the press!!!  


Dr. Gilbert has packed his book full of excellent teaching on God’s truth about our health, how He created our bodies to heal itself, His will for us to be healthy, how to walk in divine health continually, and reminds us that we need to renew our minds as to what God says about our health. The book also gives us practical tips on how to take care of our bodies, how to eat healthy, scriptures to stand on for our healing, and even has a question and answer section.   

My recommendation from the back of the book says it all!!! 

This book is an excellent tool that has been gravely needed in the body of Christ, because it ties the spirit man to the physical man and helps bring clar­ity to how God designed man at the time of creation. The author has done an excellent job of explaining God’s pattern and will, reveals how much God loves and cares about us and how very important it is to take care of our health, because our bodies are His temple.”  Mary Linette, USA. 

Below are some excerpts from the book:

 “I wanted to write this book to give them hope, inspiration, and a deeper insight on how to deal with spiritual and health challenges man is facing.  I also felt it important to remind everyone that God wants them healthy, in spirit, soul, and body.” 

”God wants you healthy!  He is interested in you, more than anything else!  He is looking forward to making you well! Remember you have the DNA of Almighty God.  He has equipped you with everything you need to live a healthy life.” 

“God has already made provision for your healing, but you must actively receive that provision by faith. Faith believes what God says, regardless of any circumstances or feelings.” 

“Actively receiving means “Take it!” Lay claim to it and consider it your own. You will then need to be ready to resist any attempt by Satan to steal it away from you.” 

“Your faith will grow as you boldly and consistently speak the statements from God’s Word in this book. As you continue to meditate on and boldly speak God’s Word, it will produce healing and wholeness in your life. It works just like a seed bringing forth a harvest.  God will surely perform His Word.” 

JEREMIAH 1:12 NIV The LORD said to me, “You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that My word is fulfilled.” 

“This book is not to read just once and lay aside. Use it regularly as food for your faith, even when you are healthy. You cannot overdose on God’s medicine, which is also effective for disease prevention.” 

“This marvelous medicine deserves to be shared. Everyone you love should have a copy of this book readily available when they need it.” 

“There is no sickness in Heaven. May God’s will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven!” (Matthew 6:10) 

“God wants you healthy! He is interested in you, more than anything else! He is looking forward to making you well! Remember you have the DNA of Almighty God. He has equipped you with everything you need to live a healthy life.” 

“You are full of wisdom, strength, anointing, and above all you are cleansed by the precious Blood of the Lamb and by His stripes you are healed.”

Remember:  Your Health is God’s priority and he has made provision for it through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.   

Therefore: I request you to believe that:
Healing belongs to you.
God wants you to prosper and be in good health;
Even, as you prosper in your soul.
God’s principle of better health is yours.
Juice and food therapy is important.
Nature was prepared by God to provide good health.
You are wonderfully and fearfully made.
 Your health is Gods priority! 

“May our wonderful Lord Jesus Christ be forever praised and thanked for all He has done for us!”

Excerpts from back cover of the book: 

Today is the day to raise your level of hope and expectation!  It’s the day to begin to believe and ex­pect the unexpected!  It’s time to begin to believe God to perform His Word in your life regarding health!  Through this inspiring book, you will learn truths found in God’s Word to help equip you, give you solutions regarding health issues, and help you renew your mind to believe God to restore your body back to God’s original design of good HEALTH. You will know God’s will for you in the following areas:  God’s Word as a Medicine, Deliverance, Biblical Teaching about Doctors and Medicine, Prayer and Healing, Juice Therapy, Healing Belongs to You, Functioning of Man, Biblical Nutrition, and Principles of Health.

This is the season for you to expect God’s blessings of good health! Always remember that you have THE DNA OF GOD and YOUR HEALTH IS GOD’S PRIORITY!!!

Conclusion
 
I am not recommending this book because Dr. Gilbert is the co-author on this blog, but instead recommend it because I believe in the principles that he teaches in the book, know of Dr. Gilbert’s character and integrity as a man of God, and believe in the anointing upon his life and ministry.  I have been very blessed to have known him for about 1 1/2 years, have worked with him on 2 mission trips to Uganda, Africa, and have also worked with him on multiple projects.  I fully believe in him and the heart that he has for the poor and needy in Africa. 
I think what blesses me the most about Dr. Gilbert is the fact that he is donating the proceeds of “God Wants You Healthy” to begin a school for poor and needy children and a medical clinic (see below) in his community in Uganda.   Dr. Gilbert could have kept all the proceeds for himself and his own personal gain, but instead he has chosen to make a difference in poor African children and families lives in Uganda.  WHAT A TOTAL ACT OF UNSELFISHNESS!!!  MAY WE ALL HAVE THAT SAME “SELFLESS SPIRIT.”  AS THAT IS THE KIND OF NATURE GOD HAS CALLED EACH ONE OF US TO HAVE!!!   In 1 Corinthians 11:1-2 Paul says,   Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.”  I think Dr. Gilbert’s example is exactly what Paul is talking about. 
Proceeds of the Book
The proceeds from the sale of the book will be used to start a school for suffering African children, as most children in Africa do not have the necessary fees to attend school.  We want to provide them a holistic Christian education, help them to be founded on the truths of Christianity, and cater to their educational needs.  We would also like to provide them with a hot meal, as many of them are very malnourished and would come to school hungry.  The cost to begin the school would be about $2,300.  Once we have it up and running, we would need monthly support to keep it running.
We would also like to start a medical clinic to help meet the day to day needs of people who cannot afford the cost of medical care.  Most people in Africa are very poor and normally do not receive medical attention their whole lives.  By opening a medical clinic, we can begin to tend to the medical needs in their poverty stricken community.   Once the medical clinic is up and running, it would be self-sustaining.   We will only need to improve on the services by buying equipment in the near future, as in the beginning, this clinic will be  an outpatient clinic.  The cost to begin the medical clinic would be about $2800.
We believe that by starting the school  and opening the medical clinic, we will not only be able to provide  an education for children and medical services for the poor and needy, but will also be able to give jobs to fellow Africans who may not currently have one.
Won’t you please help support this worthy cause of helping us start the school and medical clinic?

Merry Christmas!!!
Isaiah 9:5-7 For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Luke 2:2-21 And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2 This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. 3 So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. 4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. 6 So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. 8 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. 10 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. 11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.” 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:  14 “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men! 15 So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. 17 Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. 18 And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 19 But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them. 21 And when eight days were completed for the circumcision of the Child, His name was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.
For the Love of Africa, Dr. Gilbert, and I would like to extend our warmest wishes to you this Christmas season!!!  We pray that you and your family would have a very blessed Christmas and that God would show you great and mighty things in 2013.  We know this is a very busy season for many of us, but please remember that:
  “Jesus is truly the Reason for the Season”!!! 
 
His bondservant,
Mary

Urgent Request

As many of you know, people in Africa do not have the necessary dental supplies (such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc) to take care of their teeth properly.  Also, doctors and the medical facilities do not have the medical supplies and equipment, as we do in America, to provide the necessary services for their patients.  Since the necessity is so great, we spent a lot of time this past year collecting dental and medical supplies, and medical equipment to send to Uganda, Africa.  Because of the generosity of the dental and medical community, we were able to gather 12 cases of supplies, five phlebotomy chairs, and seven IV poles.    

We had done a lot of homework before beginning the process of trying to find the best and cheapest way to send the supplies and equipment, and after months of homework, we found that the cheapest way to send the supplies and equipment was to send them by cargo ship. 

With the help of a group of people, we were able to send 2 large crates of supplies and equipment, which weighed about 250 lbs each.  They left Evansville, Indiana, USA towards the end of August and arrived in Mombasa, Kenya in early November. 

It was our understanding that all necessary fees had been provided for, but in order to get these supplies to Dr. Gilbert in Kampala, Uganda, we have now been told that there are additional fees required for us to pay in Africa.  Below is a listing of the fees needed to free the shipment and allow it to be delivered to Dr. Gilbert.

Consolidators                  $330

Storage                              $150

CFS charges                      $ 50

Transport                         $675

Agency fees                     $250

Total                                $1455

The agent Dr. Gilbert is working with in Mombasa, Kenya told him they are willing to discount the above price to $1,300, since it is for charity purposes.  We thought we had the necessary funds to complete the project, but had not anticipated any of the above fees, as we thought all of the fees had been paid up front.  Because of this, it has made it very challenging and difficult for us to gather the remaining necessary funds to complete this project.

This is very disheartening to us, as we made a commitment to the medical and dental community to get these supplies and equipment to Africa.  We ask that you please agree with us in prayer for God to supply the necessary provision. 

If you would like to give towards helping complete this project, please feel free to contact Dr. Gilbert or me at fortheluvofafrica@gmail.com. I would like to thank you in advance for hearing my heart!!!

God bless,
Mary
