« Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment »
48 I am the bread of life.
49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”
In response to one of the temptations from the devil, our Lord Jesus Christ said in Matthew 4:4ISV
« “It is written, ‘One must not live on bread alone, but on every word coming out of the mouth of God.'” »
It is true that as a human being, you need physical food to survive,
but it is also true that your spirit man needs spiritual food to survive and that spiritual food is the word of God.
If you don’t eat the word of God, you will be spiritually malnourished and it can lead to spiritual death.
There are many spiritually dead Christians and even Pastors today because they don’t read their Bibles.
God’s word will give you life.
Jesus Christ said in John 6:63CSB
« The Spirit is the one who gives life. The flesh doesn’t help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life »
The reason many people are depressed is that they hardly feed on the word of God.
The Bible says in Jeremiah 15:16CW
« When I discovered your words, I devoured them. They are my joy and my heart’s delight, for I bear your name, O LORD God of hosts »
When you eat the word of God, it strengthens your spirit man and you begin to feel a kind of joy that cannot be explained.
Joshua 1:8 says if you want to have good success, then the book of the law must not depart from your mouth;
you are to eat the word of God consistently.
Shortly after I got born again, my brethren and I had a slogan:
“No Bible, No Breakfast.”
We ate the word before we ate physical food.
The first thing you must do in the morning is eat the word.
You would then be healthy, because the word had already gone in before physical food.
Resolve today to eat the word of God more than you eat physical food.
Application – Make this your slogan henceforth: “No Bible, No Breakfast”.
