Admonishing the expectant crowd on Saturday, the second day of a two-day church programme tagged ‘Healing Streams Live Healing Service’, a global crusade, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, president of Loveworld Incorporated, better known as Christ Embassy, stressed the importance of drinking enough water and making use of the toilet to help stay healthy.
As reported by Vanguard, Oyakhilome explained that drinking enough water will help avert most health challenges experienced today.
He said that this is a secret hospitals are not willing to reveal because it will affect their income.
The pastor said, “Drink water. They won’t drink water. You say ‘I’m not just thirsty’. You don’t think water because you are thirsty, you drink water because you need it.
“Drink water regularly. It will help in your system. A lot of sicknesses that people have, if they would drink water. Listen! They won’t tell you this in the hospital because they need your money. The more you pay for the drugs, the richer they get. Why will they tell you the truth that will make them poor?
“Water is important. If you would drink water, you would hardly be sick.”
He further added, “The kind of food that most of us are getting today are not very healthy. This is the reason most people have difficulty going to the toilet.
“They find that they eat and for two days, three days they don’t feel like going to the toilet. And when they go nothing comes out. It’s very difficult.
“So they wait a few minutes, if nothing comes out, they leave the toilet and continue. Then it gets worse until it becomes so difficult to stand, sit or lie down. The longer you wait, the harder the feces becomes, and most times this leads to hemorrhoids (piles).”
He advised to be patient in the toilet until “something” comes out.
