The Ultimate Training Routine

“But refuse profane and old wives’ fables. Exercise yourself toward godliness. For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now, and of that which is to come... Don’t neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the elders. Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all. Pay attention to yourself, and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.” ‭‭(1 Timothy‬ ‭4:7-8, 14-16‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

In Greek culture during Paul’s time, the boys learnt music, writing and gymnastics as children. After 16 years old, the men trained in sports.
Knowing the culture of the Ephesians, Paul used relatable illustrations to teach the importance of training in godliness.

Bodily exercise makes you fit, strong and physically attractive, but godliness has value in all things, even benefiting you for eternity.

Paul was saying that spiritual training is far more important and useful than physical training—do both, but prioritize spiritual training.

Just a few sentences down, Paul then referred to a spiritual gift that Timothy received through the laying on of hands, reminding him not to neglect it.
In Paul’s next letter to Timothy, he reminded Timothy again about this gift.

“For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.” ‭‭(2 Timothy‬ ‭1:6‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The only spiritual gift of the Holy Spirit we can stir up at will is the gift of praying in tongues.

Dear brethren, I remind you as well to be diligent in praying in tongues. The results of it will be revealed to all—tangible benefits.

This powerful gift has the ability to save (deliver) you from all sorts of tribulations as well.
When you’re using it, you’re offering perfect prayers according to God’s will, bypassing the fleshly and unbelieving mind.

“I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.” ‭‭(1 Corinthians‬ ‭14:18‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

No wonder Paul prayed in tongues so much—even more than the Corinthian church which was exceedingly zealous about this gift.
It must have delivered him countless times during his turbulent life.

Could you prioritize spiritual training daily by praying in tongues for a few minutes? As you continue developing this habit, soon you’ll be doing it under your breath everywhere you go.

If you like to do physical exercise, why not do this spiritual exercise at the same time? It may even make your workout more productive and less exhausting.

Remember, godliness has value in ALL things, both NOW and in the FUTURE!

Pic - TaeKwanDo vs Gymnastics
I try to expose my children to everything from a very young age -from swimming , TaeKwanDo , horse riding , public speaking , debate , calligraphy, Tahfiz , Arts and many more as each of these fields have their benefits ... Some say it could be expensive which I agree .. but let’s not use money as a reason as there are always other ways to expose our kids ...
Once they reach 7 years old , the child will incline to fields which they like most and wanting to quit others.
How do you make the child not wanting to quit these sports after so much investing in money and time ?
Its important to expose them from a very young age - at 3 years old the child loves to try new things hence do take this opportunity . Make it fun and exciting at all times and be there to show your full support . Hug them during their ups and downs ...
When you notice a child stop showing interest in a sport - stop , take a break and find ways to make them love the sport again if you think it will benefit him in the long run . Sometimes it’s just fatigue and stress since they been doing them again and again . But don’t give up and stop the sport entirely .
So far we have no problems on exposing our children to all these activities- they seem to be enjoying every one of them . Alhamdulillah .
I’m responding to parents who don’t know what to do when their child not wanting to continue their chosen sports . Starting them late is another factor on why a child doesn’t seem to show interest too .
Just my humble opinion ...
Salam Everyone ...

從一開始我決定把我的運動過程貼網，我就先遭受到周遭家人、朋友的反對。理由通常不外乎是：太裸露、別人會對你有不好的念頭。一人講、兩人講，我開始會質疑自己是否真的像他們口裡所說的那樣不堪，開始懷疑自己當初的決定。
.
From the first beginning, when I decided to share my fitness journey online, my friends, my family were the first ones against my decision. The reasons were mostly like: too sexual, too exposed. So I started to question myself, what if they are right? Should I keep doing this?
.
三月一路走來，我多了三萬多名追蹤者，裡頭當然也包括了討厭我的朋友。但我相信一路支持我的朋友們看得到我的努力，我就是一個喜愛健身的平凡人，在這幾個月裡，我從一根蛋白棒廠商都不願意寄的人到現在有了自己的贊助商。從朋友都看衰我的作法到現在朋友都變成我的粉絲，他們也很開心我有持續地堅持下去。
.
Till today, I have 30,000 followers more since March (includes haters). But I still believe you can see how hard I’ve been working on it, the effort I give for everything that I built! As you can see, I have my own sponsor, which is also my favorite brand @myproteintw since I started working out! I’m really honored!
.
Now, all my friends, family who were doubting or against my decision, all became my fans.
.
我還是老話一句，我無法去使每個人喜愛我，我無法去管控別人如何看待我的照片。一個喜愛運動的人，會懂得更愛自己，除了想要瘋狂的與大家分享正確觀念外，最快速的辦法就是直接把肉體秀出來，畢竟眼見為憑，你說得天花亂墜都不比你秀的快。這也是為什麼國內外的健身部落客都這麼不吝嗇的秀他們的好身材。
.
I just wanted to say, I can’t make everyone to like me, nor control someone not to think in a bad way about me. I’m just someone who likes to share the benefit of doing sports. .
Someone who doesn’t like doing sports, will never and is also not going to understand why we sports lovers and gym junkies like to show our body to someone else ( especially online)
.
「可是你的貼文與運動一點關係都沒有」
啊所以你覺得我的身材是天生與生俱來？
.
“ but all your posts have no relevance of showing people the benefits of doing sports”
.
So, let me ask you something, do you think I was born in this shape?
.
一個想要反對你的人，永遠找得到理由條你的毛病。一個腦子齷齪的人，看到的東西也不會是乾淨的。
.
Also, someone who just dislike me, will just do oppose against me for the sake of opposition. .
In Chinese we say ” Someone who’s dirty minded, can only see things in a dirty way. .
人生苦短，我今天下班後靜靜的思考今天所發生的一切。我突然覺得自己很傻，這幾個月以來，陸陸續續都有人質疑我，但我為什麼老是要為我認為做的對的事浪費時間來跟別人證明它是對的。
.
Life is short. I suddenly realized, why do I always have to waste my time and try so hard to prove other people for the thing that I’m doing it now is right?
.
時間會幫我證明我是對的。
.
Because time will prove it for me right?
