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.

THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE ENABLER

Right from Genesis chapter 1 to Revelation22, the presence and manifestation of the Holy Spirit is prominent. The Spirit of God is not a silent observer but a key player in God's planning and execution. Jesus had an extraordinary ministry as he walked the face of the earth. It is interesting that Jesus at age 12 knew all he needed to know about God and the Scriptures. In the temple among the most learned, astute and law experts in the Sanhedrin he demonstrated superiority and excellence that the elders of Israel were left bewildered. One day, a melancholic but pragmatic Nicodemus was beyond curiosity, came to Jesus by night and honestly wanted  the truth. And he began to express his excitement about his observation. Jesus was not a man given to praises. He cut through the cheese and laid it out to him. John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh,...

FRIENDSHIP THAT WINS SOULS

BY  Z E N I T H A    V I C T O R I A    B A D A "You cannot excel in life if you want to go alone in life."                 Dr Jeffrey seif. I celebrate you all. Today I'd be talking on how friendship can bring others to Christ. Looking at the meaning of friendship from the Chrome dictionary it is defined as the relationship, bond,union between friends. These days people come into our lives and we are not sure how to categorize them, but I'll have you know that "Friends" are the most influential people in our life's that   either bring us down our pull us up. The bible speaking "Become wise by walking with the wise; hang out with fools and watch your life fall to pieces. " Proverbs 13:20 MSG. We need to learn to define our friend-ship with people, we need to know the the kind of "friends" we are letting into our "ship", so that when the wind blows we cou...

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...
