Topic: God’s Food For The Spirit Of Man [15th September 2018 Daily Devotional]
Scripture: 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. Matthew 4:4.
Thought For The Day: The spirit of man thrives on the revelation of God’s Word.
The Scripture makes it abundantly clear that the Word of God has a multi-dimensional ministry. Previously, we saw that the Word of God renews and renovates mentality; we also saw that the Word of God is the fuel and builder of faith.
Now, it is important to know another ministry of the Word of God. The Word is God’s spiritual food for man; God’s Word feeds man’s spirit.
Our anchor Scripture makes it clear that man shall live by the Word that comes from the mouth of God. As good as bread or physical food is, bread alone cannot satisfy or handle all the needs of man. That is why a person may have a plump physique when he eats physical food very well but may be challenged spiritually due to negligence of God’s Word which is the food of the spirit. Many people wear nice clothes and look robust outwardly but their spirit man is sick. So, physical nutrition attends to the body; information attends to the mind but it is the revelation of God’s Word that attends to the spirit of man.
The spirit of man thrives on the revelation of God’s Word. Having a steady diet of the Word of God is key to building a healthy spirit.
My counsel is, eat normal food properly and at the right time in order to build your immune system and protect your body against disease. Also, feed on God’s Word in order to have a solid spirit that can fight any demonic attack and spiritual infection.
Remember this: The spirit of man thrives on the revelation of God’s Word.
Assignments:
1. Make up your mind to feed on adequate physical and balanced diet; avoid being malnourished.
2. Decide to also feed on God’s Word for the constant nourishment of your spirit.
Prayer: O Lord, I receive the grace to feed on Your Word constantly in Jesus’ Name.
