FEEDING YOUR SPIRIT


By   Z E N I T H A    V I C T O R I A    B A D A

I celebrate you all,

I bless God for the strength to continue in Him.

We would be looking at the part B of What You Feed Your Spirit Matters and as we look into this topic we ask the holy spirit to minister to our hearts in Jesus name Amen.

The holy spirit is like a man riding a vehicle, and the vehicle represents our body. We know the popular road safety slogan, "Do not drink and drive" this is because the intake of  alcohol could lead this driver to cause an accident on the road, in other words we the condition of a driver matters for a safe drive.

 Our spirit is a spiritual man, that has feelings, and just like human beings feel hungry he does to, but for spiritual food which is the word of God. The more we feed our spirit with the word of God the more he reminds us of the word of God and that is why the bible says, "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
Romans 10:17 KJV.

Faith is complete trust or confidence in someone or something, and the the bible goes ahead in Hebrews 11:6 that But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Therefore without Faith(complete trust in God) it is impossible to please God, we are created to please God,  looking at the meaning of the word PLEASE it means to take only one's own wishes into consideration in deciding how to act or proceed. So!!! We first if all have to know the word of God before we can live according to the way he wants us to, to please him but we cannot know the word of God except we feed our spirit with the word!

The spirit of God in us reminds us of the word we fed it in times of adversities. We can also liken our spirit with a computer system it gives to us what we put inside of it, and that is why we should be careful about what we put in it so we don't end up with a virus in the system.

The more we feed our spirit with the word of God the more we grow stronger It is this spiritual growth that becomes a birthmark of our faith!

For everyone who lives on milk is [doctrinally inexperienced and] unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a spiritual infant. But solid food is for the [spiritually] mature, whose senses are trained by practice to distinguish between what is morally good and what is evil.
HEBREWS 5:13-14 AMP

    I remember in children's class my Sunday teacher told us that we eat physical food three times a day and gain weight, but we hardly feed our spirit, leaving it malnourished, it was funny then but as i grew it made more sense I started becoming more deliberate about feeding my spirit through the help of God.

 Stop for a moment and ask yourself:
-What you feed your spirit?

-How often do you feed your spirit?

-How healthy is your spirit?

-How equipped and ready for war is your spirit?

Rate from 1-10, If its 5 downwards its fine it isn't to late, pickup your bible and start to study the word, listen to sermons of men of God.

If its 6 upwards hey!
You have greater battles to fight there is never enough so pick up the word and continue to feed!

May the Lord speak to our hearts as we intentionally feed our spirit with the right things.

God bless.

LEAH SHARIBU, THE TRIUMPH OF CONVICTION IN CHRIST

By David Pam McQuel Leah Sharibu 15 Years Old's Triumph of Faith. This unfortunate captivity of Leah Sharibu is unacceptable to Christians, to Nigeria, to all true freedom loving people of the world and to the modern civilization. Azuka Onwuka's op-ed in the Nigerian Punch newspaper, The trial of Leah Sharibu, the sacrificial lamb", When the abducted Dapchi schoolgirls were returned last week by Boko Haram terrorists , a new story developed from the kidnap saga. Excluding the five dead girls that did not make it back, only one girl named Leah Sharibu was not brought back by the terrorists . The reason given was that she refused to renounce Christianity and convert to Islam . Consequently, Boko Haram members refused to release her." The BBC gave an account of the abduction. "Militants stormed the town on the evening of Monday, 19 February. They headed towards the compound of a girls' boarding school as they fired guns into the air. F...

The Great Light

In 1993 during a pastor's retreat the Lord spoke to my heart in a moment of meditation and prayer, about one of the two passages of Scriptures that define my call. The moment was an intense one for me because just as my salvation, the baptism with the Holy Spirit and my calling to fulltime ministry, this revelation was authoritative and definite. Isaiah 9:2 The people walking in darkness     have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness     a light has dawned. There are tens and hundreds of millions of people in cities and rural areas living in darkness, this darkness is spiritual rather than physical or intellectual, they are in need of the Light. Jesus is the Light. He is the GREAT Light. Every nation and people on earth need Him. And the prophet here spoke in the language of prophecy. He spoke in the past tense, as if they have already seen the Light. The calling of the church is not to shine the Light on ...

THE BALANCED APPROACH TO MISSIONS

E t h a n   D a u d a   Y u s u f Am I successful in my ministry and calling? Is my success measured by the size of my worship centre, the number of my church members, the amount of tithes and offerings? Who sets the standard? Before we answer the above questions, let's consider the words of Jesus Christ in the gospel of Matthew 28. "18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen" The above scripture clearly states what Jesus Christ require from us. The mandate is to make disciples. How do we do this. Firstly, to baptize them, this symbolizes initiation into the body of Christ. The second is teaching them. Teaching does not simply mea...
