EAT RIGHT!
Every where you look today, there are ads and books about eating and healthy living.
Sometimes it may get confusing as to what is right to eat..
Don't eat this, eat this, eat that. Sometimes what one person would say don't eat the other person would say eat the same thing that was not right for you.
Yet despite the confusion, we must eat for survival. Eating the right foods and essentials will improve our skin tone, strengthen our hair, improve our vision, blood, and other bodily functions. Our intake must be proportion right, and we must also eat in moderation and have a balance.
WHAT ABOUT YOUR SPIRITUAL EATING HABITS?
In Matthew 15:11-20 the story is untraveled about some eating etiquette. It is said that it's not what goes into a man that defiles a man (we know that he was really speaking of eating with unwashed hands rather than eating anything) but what comes out of him, we must note that eating right will ultimately enhance our lives.
TODAY'S FOCUS - So, what are we feeding on? Consider the following:
- Are you eating right spiritually?
- Feeding on the word daily?
- Engaging in spiritual conversations?
- Thinking pure and holy thoughts?
- Watching inappropriate things on TV or internet?
- Receiving the right counsel and advice
- .........
Today, I would like to engage you in discussing some food we can eat both good and bad, that can affect us after it is processed.
(example - Hate - will result in murder, sicknesses and other ills; daily bible reading - will result in establishing God's truth etc....)
Today lets make a list of wrong foods and their results and the right foods and their results.
Hate Murder, sickness
GOOD FOOD RESULTS
Reading the Word Truth and power
Remember just as alcoholism, drugs or any other poisons has an effect on your body watch your intake of words, emotions, information etc... for it will show up in your body!
God bless you and always remember to keep the faith!

Bad food- jealousy .....results anger and resentment.
ReplyDeleteGood food- Memorizing the word. We as humans will forget almost all of what we hear and most of what we read, however, we can retain 100% of what we memorize if we review regularly. God bless!
Just to add to my comment above Memorize the word for when someone steps on your toe, you can give them a piece of your biblical mind, not the physical. lis m.of 9.
ReplyDeleteAmen Lisa. Memorizing the word certainly is good food. That's how you feed the spirit man.
DeleteOne of the worst foods we can eat is unforgiveness. If this is found in our heart God said , our very prayer will not be heard./answered. Need I say more ? On the other hand, the good food of meditation will result in hearing from God and knowing his direction for your life daily. May God continue to enrich you with wisdom as His name is proclaimed through you. Love and blessings.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing that thought. Well said. Indeed unforgiveness is a bitter fruit if allowed to digest in our spirits will yield some very unfavorable results. Meditation food will truly allow us to hear what the word says about that cause you cannot meditate and have unforgiveness at the same time. It will expose you to God's truth.
DeletePastor Rhymer,
ReplyDeleteYour statement " eat for survival" is what caught my spirit. Just as we eat to survive and maintain health, the WORD OF GOD sustains physical and spiritual health and wellness. "Man shall not live by bread along, but by every WORD that proceeds out of the mouth of God." What did DADDY say about us? By those words (His Promises) do we live. Hallelujah!!!
