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.

AND SHE WALKED FORWARD

By David Pam McQuel And the girl walked forward at the end of the sermon. The young preacher had his eyes shut when he felt someone pulling at his shirt. At first he ignored it, then the pull was a little stronger. Just for a second he lost concentration, then he ended the prayer. And he looked down and saw this beautiful girl. The congregation in that little assembly stood still, and watched. What does she want? Everyone wondered. But with the preachers gifted compassionate smile he bend down and asked. Hello girl, what can I do for you? She lifted her face, and she's been crying. "I want Jesus in my heart today." Sobbing. The you preacher froze, didn't know what to say or how to say it immediately. He has been preaching for five years and two months, he has had hundreds of people sit under his ministry and yet this was such an extraordinary moment he has had just a few times. He could feel the heat of her desire. He could sense the urgency and hunge

THE CHRISTMAS OPPORTUNITY

By David Pam McQuel Merry Christmas! As we all are aware, the festive season is here. No matter what your religious or theological conviction is, you certainly cannot ignore the season. So much expectations, so much preparations and so many plans. Christmas is a time of joy for so many. Especially those who affiliate with Christianity and those who look forward to making financial gain from sales. For others it is the holiday attached to it. A much anticipated time of rest and social gatherings. Among Christians, the debate will rage again as to whether Christmas is biblical or pagan, how it all started, and how serious Christians should either be involved or abstain. While many write it off as a Catholic ritual and others see it as the Roman emperor Constantine defiling a thriving Church. And others argue vehemently on the exact month of birth of Christ. Surely the theological warfare is at boiling point. There are two things we need to focus on. 1. The fact

DEPRESSION AND CHRISTIAN GROWTH

By  Z E N I T H A   V I C T O R I A    B A D A I celebrate you all. Its an honor and a previlege to be given the opportunity to be part of this great platform. I pray that as we look into today's area of concentration, the Holy Spirit will minister to us. Today by God's grace I'll be talking about a very rampant and life-threatening issue: DEPRESSION AND CHRISTIAN GROWTH. As simple as it sounds it has taken a lot of lives. First I'll   like us to look into the meaning, using the Chrome dictionary.  D epression is defined as a feeling of severe despondency(low spirits from loss of hope or courage; dejection).  Its also a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest.  In other words depression is a feeling of sorrow or discouragement caused by ANXIETY, and this is a way the devil is ruining lives and   turning   people away from God. As the Bible says in John 10:10  "The thief(Satan) cometh not, bu
