ATM FOR SUNDAY 29TH OCTOBER, 2017

Topic: Feed on God’s word…

…You are what you eat.

Why you should constantly feed on God’s word

You will feel refreshed and energized all the time. The Bible tells us
that God breathed into man and he became a living being. 

Genesis 2:7 “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man
became a living being.”

This means that when you read the Bible or listen to God’s Word
preached, you are imbibing the very breath of God which gives you life.

That is why there may have been times you walked into church feeling
tired at first, but left at the end of the service feeling refreshed and
energized. God’s Word had breathed life into your body! I have also
seen many of our church members becoming healthier, stronger and
even younger-looking because they spend time in God’s Word.

B. It should remind you of who you are and your place in Christ. It also
tells us that all Scripture is God-breathed. 

2 Timothy 3:16, NIV “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for

teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness 

C. Your physical appearance will be better. 

Proverbs 4:22 “My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear
to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within
your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to
one’s whole body.”

This tells us that God’s words are “life to those who find them, and
health to all their flesh”. So if you are under the weather or if
symptoms are attacking your body, double up on God’s medicine.
Simply feed more on God’s Word, and you will find life and health
flowing through your body again.

D. It's the only thing on earth that can fill you and keep you alive. 

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 Jesus said that man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God”. 

If it is important to eat our meals every day, how much more feeding on
God’s Word? Jesus wants us to know that we need God’s Word even
more than our daily meals. He made us, so He knows best what our
bodies need daily.

So whatever you do, remember to get your daily feeding of God’s Word.
Read your Bible in the comfort of your home or in the office during
your lunch break. Play sermon CDs while driving to work or doing
household chores. If you prefer something more visual, watch DVDs on
the preaching of His Word. Choose whichever form you prefer and get
His Word into you!

Beloved, you cannot live when you stop breathing. In the same way,
you cannot live without the Word because it is the very breath of God
which gives you life and health!

By His Grace alone,
