Protruding stomach, popularly known as 'pot belle' is a legacy of African men and I can't tell if it's as a result of the much consumption of; fufu, akpu, eba, amala, opa...... etc. Though, there has also been insinuations that it has to do with much consumption of alcohol (beer). Sometimes, when some people see a man with such stomach, an argument about 'that guy dey bottle (takes much bottles of alchol)' ensued . As much as some of them probably tried to get rid of the pot in the belle, there isn't much progress. I guess, they're just too lazy to withstand the vigorous exercise Lol!
I was thinking seriously on this issue one fateful day, when something occurred to me. The entire Pastorate in my church have flat or medium size stomach. ( thrash that thought; nor be pastors belle I go look for church, but I just observe the thing Lol!). or I'll say 97% does. So, are all the General overseers of the most populous and blessed churches in our country and even continent. The question I asked was why?
- Godliness: For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come ( 1Timothy 4:8).
- Discipline: For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it (Hebrews 12:11) ESV. For everyman to be successful in achieving any set out goals in life, he needs to be disciplined. And remember the saying "nothing good comes easy."
- Management: Let all things be done decently and in order (1 Corinthians 14:40). Now, whether in drinking beer, which I know you'll probably quote the scripture of take a little for the stomach sake can still be done decently.
Oops! It seems the article still ended on the heavy weight side, even though we started lightly. Well do pardon me but give a thought to it (making smiling face). Enjoy your day. Cheers!
