SPIRITUAL FOOD

‘‘Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.

So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the roll. And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee.

Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.’’ (Ezekiel 3:1-3)
We don’t live to eat but we eat to live, we eat for strength.

However, what actually do we eat?

 In the last part of Ezekiel 3:3, Ezekiel says, “Then did I eat it and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.” But before he ate the book, in Ezekiel 3:1, God had commanded him:

“Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the House of Israel.”

Ezekiel had not the strength to go and speak to the Nation of Israel before he ate the book, but after he had eaten it, the book gave him the strength and the capacity to carry out his mission.

You will not face any problem that will defeat you, wherever it may come from.

It is clear that we are supposed to eat the Word of God. You cannot build the capacity and garner the strength you need for life’s battles without the Word of God.

It is the quality and quantity of God’s Word in you that strengthens you to confront and overcome your problems.

Remember, you will not overcome just once. You will overcome always because you have been prepared.

The Word of God that you have eaten will give you the strength and the capacity to confront your confronters, spoil your spoilers, and defeat your oppositions.

Words of Wisdom: The word of God gives strength and capacity to carry on with life challenges.

Prayer/Confession: I declare that because of the capacity and the strength in the Word of God, I will not be stranded in life, in the name of Jesus’. Amen!
