‬‬The colonoscopy procedure lasted barely twenty minutes. However, it had taken weeks and months for Pastor Kayode and his wife to book appointments and work out other logistics. They were also instrumental in driving me from the hotel to the clinic and back. Put that in monetary terms, it would run to several hundreds of dollars. The cost of the procedure itself was $1,350, after a discount of 10%. At that time, USD1 was trading for about NGN1,600. That amounted to NGN2,160,000. That brought to light another point. We generally do not spare any expense to maintain good physical health. The same cannot be said about our spiritual health.

We generally do not spare any expense to maintain good physical health. The same cannot be said about our spiritual health…The soul will prosper when we give the same level of attention to it as we give to the body.

Most people find it difficult to buy materials that will promote their souls’ health. There are those who don’t mind to spend thousands of naira on their pleasures but cannot budget as little as NGN5, 000 on what will edify them. John wrote to Gaius, “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” 3 John‬ 1‬:2‬ NKJV‬. Note that the prosperity of the soul is the pivotal thing for believers. The soul will prosper when we give the same level of attention to it as we give to the body. When the soul prospers, we create the opportunity for the physical side to be attended to as well.
