BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU EAT
David Abankwah
SERIES: Day 2

²A time to be born, And a time to die; A TIME TO PLANT, and a TIME TO PLUCK what is planted; ²⁰All go to one place: all are from the dust, and all return to dust.
-Ecclesiastes 3:2‭, ‬20 | NKJV

When Jesus Christ created the universe, He created it with time. The universe was birthed with time and it will end with time and everything in it including man. Therefore God has also purposed time for us to carry out the duties of our lives. Indeed there is time for everything, therefore, there are certain food that come in due season that one should try and eat some. He has given us the body to be stewards over it and He will judge us concerning what we used our bodies to do. If you are feeding the body with cocaine, marijuana, alcohol, and bad diet, one day your time and my time on earth will elapse and we will give our accounts in the day of judgement.

As the universe has an expiry date, so is there an expiry date for the body. There is no human being who will live eternally in this body on earth. All of us will die. If Methuselah, the oldest man in the Bible who didn’t have even have one day in the sight of God, died, then we must think twice. Sin is what terminates our lives before our time and it is mainly because of what we eat that causes that. It was because of food sacrifice that Cain killed Abel. Esau sold his birthright because of food. It was because of food that Adam and Eve fell in the Garden of Eden. It was food that Satan used to tempt God (Jesus Christ). If you are not careful of what you eat and drink, you will reap its adverse consequences.

There is time to eat and there is time to drink. There is time to fast and there is a time to break the fast. As a believer, don’t act careless about your health thinking nothing will happen to you. There are many believers who have died because of how careless they used to break their fasting. Many are facing intestinal issues, stomach ulcers and many other health complications that are beyond their control. If you treat the body with crap, you will suffer in carrying out your works of salvation. Listen to me very carefully. You may not have a strong body chemistry because we are not the same in terms of health creation. Therefore don’t follow someone’s bad eating habits.

Maybe what he or she will eat and drink and sustain the shock of illness, you may not have that immune system to stand that. Someone can feed on junk food and drink alcohol and still look healthy. Don’t follow evil but cling to what is right and live long. Maybe your life is short. Don’t let anyone influence you to take in anything that goes. The ruin bad friends have brought in the life of certain people, is beyond the apogee. Many people have been poisoned though food and drink. The lives of many have been destroyed through food and drink. Many believers have become very weak because of something they ate. Bachelor, learn to cook and stop being a restaurant rat.

Lift up prayers and ask the Holy Spirit to deliver your soul and set your soul free from covenants with evil spirits who feed your soul with carnal foods in dreams in the name of Jesus Christ.
