Knock Down the Appetite for Food

“Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?” Isaiah 58:7

No one on this earth will ever let go of food when he or she is hungry. Some people are so glued to food that they cannot go a day without it, except for those who say they have special conditions and therefore cannot fast. But we have records of people with chronic conditions who stepped out in faith and fasted, and after the fast, they found that the symptoms had left their bodies and they had been made whole. It is all according to your faith.

If sickness can come from the food we eat, then we can overcome that sickness by abstaining from food, because as you eat, you feed the sickness. People who fast live healthy lives, look very young and live longer.

You are responsible for your health. Once in a while, refrain from food and spend time fasting and praying. It is the secret of many great men. Dear, I am concerned about your eating habits. Have a life of fasting and prayer.

Prayer
Lord, grant me grace to fast and pray.

WHAT IS REPENTANCE? 🤔

"With thee is the fountain of life."— Psalms 36:9

There are times in our spiritual experience when human counsel or sympathy, or religious ordinances, fail to comfort or help us. Why does our gracious God permit this? Perhaps it is because we have been living too much without him, and he therefore takes away everything upon which we have been in the habit of depending, that he may drive us to himself. It is a blessed thing to live at the fountain head. While our skin- bottles are full, we are content, like Hagar and Ishmael, to go into the wilderness; but when those are dry, nothing will serve us but "Thou God seest me." We are like the prodigal, we love the swine-troughs and forget our Father's house. Remember, we can make swine-troughs and husks even out of the forms of religion; they are blessed things, but we may put them in God's place, and then they are of no value. Anything becomes an idol when it keeps us away from God: even the brazen serpent is to be despised as "Nehushtan," if we worship it instead of God. The prodigal was never safer than when he was driven to his father's bosom, because he could find sustenance nowhere else. Our Lord favours us with a famine in the land that it may make us seek after himself the more. The best position for a Christian is living wholly and directly on God's grace-still abiding where he stood at first-"Having nothing, and yet possessing all things." Let us never for a moment think that our standing is in our sanctification, our mortification, our graces, or our feelings, but know that because Christ offered a full atonement, therefore we are saved; for we are complete in him. Having nothing of our own to trust to, but resting upon the merits of Jesus-his passion and holy life furnish us with the only sure ground of confidence. Beloved, when we are brought to a thirsting condition, we are sure to turn to the fountain of life with eagerness.

First Thing Upon Meeting Jesus' — John 1:40-41

Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of [John the Baptizer's disciples] who heard what John said and then followed Jesus. Andrew went to find his brother, Simon, and told him, "We have found the Messiah" (which means "Christ"). — John 1:40-41 NLT

Did you notice the first thing Andrew did after he started following Jesus? He searched and found his brother and told him about Jesus! Each time we see Andrew in the Gospel of John, he is bringing others to Jesus. [1] Shouldn't you be an Andrew, too? Who is someone with whom you would like to share Jesus? Why not pray daily that the Lord will open that person's heart and help you see the opportunity to share your faith and Jesus' grace?
