FOOD

Key Verse:

I Timothy 6:6

"But godliness with contentment is great gain."

KJV

Food is any nutritious substance that people or animals eat and drink, and plants to absorb for life and growth. Food is essential for daily living. Fruits are naturally ready-made food, the Bibles says that plants are given for the healing of nations. Statistics show that 82% of the meat we eat per year is in us and it settles as fat over time, we must be mindful of the meat we take.

Physical food nourishes but it can also lead to destruction. 

Food is designed to help and not to mar. The  negative impacts, however, are indigestion, too much sugar, it could be an enticement to lure you into a trap. Genesis 25:34, Genesis 3:1.


One has to be careful, always make inquiries as to the content. Don't to allow food become the determining factor of your lives. Don't allow food to take away your birthright (your privilege and inheritance). Anyone who sells his birthright will lose eternal relevance. Be careful about the decisions you make when you are tired or excited. Proverbs 23:1-3, 6-8.


Eating can be in different forms:

1) Films

2) Social Media

What do you consume on a daily basis? Do they glorify God? Colossians 3:17.


There are appointed times to stay away from food, for instance, fasting when you stay away from food and you wait on God in prayer. Total dependence on God is where you get strength.

Somethings to note

1) You must never allow your need to make you do illegitimate things because the devil will tempt you at the point of need. Philippians 4:19.


2) Learn to trust God for the provision of your need and wait for his perfect time. If you don't know how to cook, how would you want to eat? Learn to cook varieties no matter your gender!

I Kings 17:6.


3) Be led by the Spirit and do not be ruled by your appetite, exercise discipline. Romans 8:14, Galatians 5:16.



Romans 14:12-17

Reflection: How many things have we lost as a result of our appetite? Great things can be given up through careless eating. Mind what goes into your mouth, don't poison your future.

John 14:6 NIV [6] Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.  Life is defined as a worthwhile existence. A lot of people are alive but are not actually living. Are you really living? Is your life characterised by some daily routine: sleep, eat, greet and repeat? Hey friend, there's more to life! There's so much in store for you. Don't live a casual life to please someone or conform to a standard or to criteria that don't speak truth. Do you want to be true? God has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light to show forth His praises and to fulfill destiny. What does His word say? It says in 3 John:2 that He wishes above all things that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers. Also, Jeremiah 29:11 says that the thoughts God thinks about you are thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you an expected end. There is a void in everyone's life that can only be filled by Jesus. Jesus is t...

Patience (Not Ozokwor)

I’m going to be real with you, being patient is hard. Whether it’s waiting for a text back, sitting in Lagos traffic, dealing with slow internet speed, or wondering when life will finally make sense, patience is one of those things we all wish we had but don’t enjoy developing. And yet, it’s a Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Meaning, it’s something God expects to grow in us, not something we magically wake up with. But how do you stay patient when everything around you screams, “Do it now! Get it now! Why are you waiting?!” Why Do We Even Need Patience? Patience isn’t just about sitting still and waiting, it’s about trusting God’s timing when things aren’t going our way. Think about Abraham. God promised him descendants as numerous as the stars (Genesis 15:5), but he had to wait 25 years before Isaac was born. David was anointed as king in his teenage years but didn’t take the throne until he was 30 (1 Samuel 16, 2 Samuel 5:4). Even Jesus, the Son of God, spent 30 years in pre...

Text: Genesis 1:1 KJV [1]In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. According to the text, God is the Creator. He made all things in a  perfect manner. He created humans in His own image. Everyone was made beautiful, irrespective of the world's standard of beauty. Psalms 139:14 [14]I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. At times, we might feel that we weren't created to our taste. You know what I mean, some of the times, we wish we were taller, had a better body physique and all.  I just want you to know that God, the Greatest One, created you in the best way. Therefore, appreciate your beauty and love yourself. God is a good God that He created man in His own likeness, knowing fully well that He is the most beautiful One. Isn't that wonderful ? Henceforth, whenever we look at ourselves, let's appreciate God for who He is by admitting and confessing that He is our Creator. H...
