FEEDING YOURSELF

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 Proverbs 4:20-22

My son, give Attention to my works; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; Far they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh.

Additional Verses

📖 Joshua 1:1-8: Proverbs 4:1-27; Luke 4:16-20; Hebrews 3:1-19

There was a time of physical giants and then a time of intellectual giants. Physical giants in order to maintain their stature, have to be on a special diet of different kinds of food while intellectual giants are philosophers whose knowledge is limited to the wisdom of this world. Genesis 6:4 describes the physical giants in the days of Noah who were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. These men were wicked and all they thought of was violence and had no respect of God's creation. However, even during this time, Noah was outstanding as he was found to be righteous in the presence of God. He was obedient to the word of God and therefore, was a spiritual giant rather than a physical giant. It is also the same during the time of David, there were many physical giants among the Philistines. Goliath of Gath according to 1 Samuel 17:4 was a big man whose height was six cubits and a span. He was almost ten feet tall. Because of his size, no one from the whole army of Israel could dare challenge him. It was only the little boy David who was full of God's anointing who had the courage to challenge Goliath. David did not depend upon his physical stature which is a product of physical food which does not last. Instead, he depended upon the anointing from God which had received. 1 Samuel 17:45 says, “Then said David to the Philistine, thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield; but l come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.” This is why he was able to defeat Goliath despite his size and heavy armor. Because you are born again as a child of God, it is no long time to depend upon material things for your success and prosperity. The Bible teaches you that you cannot depend on bread alone. Matthew 4:4 says, “But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” The Word of God makes you a spiritual giant. You should therefore make it a habit to feed yourself with the Word of God all the time. When you do this, you can declare that word of faith to influence your world just as what David did. Joshua 1:8 says, “This Book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shall meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do all that is written therein; for then thou shall make thy way prosperous, and thou shall have good success.” When Joshua was obedient to the Law of Moses as God commanded him, he was magnified by the LORD before all Israel. The Word of God is the wisdom of God and it is the driving force behind everything that you see around you. Feed yourself with the Word of God and I tell you, the grace of God will be upon you all the days of your life. Alleluia!

Prayer

Help me Lord Jesus Christ to place all my hope and trust in Your Word as You have taught me that it is how I can grow to become a spiritual giant, and that I may continue to enjoy Your unlimited grace. In Jesus Christ's name I pray, Amen.
