MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 Matthew 4:4

“But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”

Additional Verses

📖 Proverbs 4:20-23; John 1:1-14; Romans 8:1-11

The new creation man is spirit because he is from the life giving Spirit as he proceeds from the second Adam who is the life giving Spirit according to 1 Corinthians 15:45, Jesus Christ. Because you are born of the Spirit of God, for you to develop spiritually, you ought to continually feed more and more upon the Word of God as Jesus Christ reminds in Matthew 4:4. The Word of God is food for your soul. In addition, the Word of God is health or medicine to your flesh and bones. Proverbs 4:22 says that God’s words are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. When further translated, health to all their flesh means that the Word of God is medicine to the flesh resulting in divine health. Because the Word of God proceeds from God, it carries the life of God and therefore imparts the life of God to the one who diligently feeds upon it. In John 6:63, Jesus Christ says, “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are Spirit, and they are life.” The more you feed upon the Word of God therefore, the more you have the life of God in you. The more you have the life of God in you, the more you are supplied of your every need. Remember that all creation came from the Word of God and this Word is Jesus Christ as John declares in John 1:1, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” When you have the Word of God in you, you have Jesus Christ living in you. You further have the overflow of God’s blessings in you and the glory of God will manifest in you all your life. From today I urge and encourage you to spend more time feeding upon the Word of God as it is life to your spirit and medicine and health to your mortal flesh and bones. Alleluia!

Prayer

Almighty God, I thank You for Your Word which keeps reminding me that I cannot live on bread alone, but on every Word that comes from You. I pray that I may be able to fast and pray, for in doing so I will be feeding my spirit. Thank You LORD Jesus Christ. Amen.
