Feed On The Right Information
…It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that proceedeth out of the
mouth of God (Matthew 4:4).
In today’s world, people are more particular
about what they eat. While some eat the right
food to stay healthy, there’re those who, from eating
all the wrong things, have put their health in jeopardy.
It’s the same thing spiritually. As a Christian, you must
feed on the right information. You must feed your faith
with the Word of God. Some Christians would rather
feed their fears than feed their faith. You feed your
fears when you give attention to wrong or noxious
information.
The food for the human spirit is God’s word. Jesus
said, “…Man shall not live by bread alone, but by
every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God”
(Matthew 4:4). Whilst God’s Word makes the human
spirit come alive—buoyant with faith, hope and love,
unwholesome words poison and destroy the human
spirit. Such negative information that are harmful to
the human spirit proceed from giving attention to the
wrong things.
The effect of feeding on wrong information in the
life of a Christian may not be seen overnight; but with
time, such a person gets weaker and weaker spiritually.
Before long, he’s no longer as fervent in spiritual things
as he used to be. Then, his life takes a completely
different turn from God’s original plan.
Give attention to the right information. Fortify and
energize your spirit for success with God’s Word. The
forces of life are domiciled in your spirit; as you feed
your spirit with the Word, you’ll be able to produce
every good thing you want in life from within you.
Jesus said, “A good man out of the good treasure of
the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man
out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things”
(Matthew 12:35).
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for the opportunity to hear and receive
your Word, for it to bring about a transformation in my life.
My passion for your Word is increased, and I’ve been made
wise and excellent by your Word today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
