BREAD OF LIFE


Last week I had been studying about the Bread of Life and so when I picked up my timetable to check what topic I would be teaching my children in Sunday school, you can imagine the joy I felt when I realised it would be the Bread of Life. God must really be interested in this topic I thought, and we had an amazing time with children on Sunday.

Man is naturally a hungry being, always hungry for food. And even after eating a horse like we usually say when we are so hungry, give it a few more hours and we are hungry again. Exodus 25: 30 the showbread was set before God always. Jesus Christ represents the bread that is set before God continually, so if we have Jesus in us it means that our lives are continually set before God. John 6; 53 Jesus said except ye eat of the flesh of the son of man ye have no life in you, so if we do not eat this bread which symbolises Jesus then we have no life in us and because we have no life our lives are not set on the table before God always like the table of showbread.

When we eat the bread of life we can never go hungry again, it is a life changing encounter that never lives you the same way. Anyone who has no life is dead which means a life without Jesus is death. The word of God is also the bread which we should eat daily. If we do not eat the word of God daily we will become ill nourished and will eventually die. The word of God is like food to our souls we should come prepared to eat from his table always .Studying the word daily will give us the strength required for each day, John 1:1-3 Jesus Christ is the WORD.

The Show bread is always in the Lords presence which tells us that God loves to fellowship with us, the table of the showbread is therefore a place of communion. The priest will usually put a new bread every Sabbath and eat the previous one in the most Holy place which is in the very presence of God this tells us that God loves to fellowship with man. A table is used for communion to share things together, children from families who dine together have been known to do better emotionally and academically because of they bond better and are united. Exodus 26:35 the lampstand was set across the table so the light from the lampstand will illuminate the table, when a life is totally surrendered to God his light will continually shine upon that life. The table of showbread is never empty, so as long as Jesus is in our lives, Gods eyes are constantly on us isn’t that awesome, that’s exciting to me.

John 6: 35 Jesus is the bread of life, if we have Jesus we will not die because we will not be spiritually drained or malnourished and God will take care of all our needs. It is only a matter of time[B1]  that the spiritually dead will die physically if they remain in that state, spiritual food is the only food that can make us strong and healthy. John 6:51 anyone who has Jesus will have eternal life, eternal life doesn’t only represent our life in heaven but eternal life starts from here on earth, doing that which God has called us to do.

I also encourage us to take the Holy Communion regularly, Math26: 26.  Jesus is the Holy bread only the Priests could eat the Holy bread. The Holy Communion is very powerful because we are eating the very life of Jesus anything that is in us that is not of God immediately disappears. The Holy Communion is scared to God and therefore should not be eaten unworthily.

No matter how beautiful, wealthy, eloquent, religious etc you are it is nothing if you don’t have the bread of life, if you do not have daily communion with the King of all kings because he is the only one that can truly satisfy.

Swift as the Eagle

The fourth face of the living creatures described in Ezekiel 1 and Revelations 4 is the face of an Eagle. Eagles are very majestic birds, they are swift, very fast and very sharp, they are high flyers and they have very sharp vision. Eagles don’t operate on the low level like other birds they fly very high and they do not mingle with other types of birds. Spiritual eagles work together to bring about the purpose of God here on earth An eagle swiftly swoops on its prey and takes it high up in the sky just as Jesus is swift in dealing with his enemies. An eagle can fly across a lake in less than one minute when searching for prey. The eagle is swift because it knows it doesn’t have all the time, and if the eagle is swift it means that it is very difficult to catch. Jesus came to the world and did his work swiftly, his 30 years here on earth was swift but very effective, as spiritual eagles we also have to be swift to hear and swift to do that which God has called us to do. If we m

REST IN GOD

  Matthew 11:28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Hebrews 4:9-10 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. There is a rest for the people of God, but many haven’t entered this rest. Jesus Christ is asking us to come to His rest and to find rest for our souls. Are we troubled? anxious? or fearful? God is calling us into His rest. Are we encumbered by the concerns of this life? E.g school fees, house rent, bills to pay, a troubled marriage, etc. Jesus is saying do your best and leave the rest to me. Worrying too much about all these things will not make much of a difference, instead, we must live and walk by faith, this is the only condition to entering the rest of the Lord. Knowing without a shadow of a doubt that of a truth

Worth more than rubies

  A dear customer of mine who has become a dear friend called me up one day and said she would like to make some items for her family members using the colours of their birthstones. These are precious stones that are associated with different months, for example, amethyst is the birthstone for those born in February, and diamond is the birthstone for those born in April. This would be one of the most exciting projects that I have ever embarked upon, also because before this time I didn’t know much about precious stones. I have seen and read about them, even in the bible but never given much attention to them by looking them up to see what they really look like. The only precious stone I am familiar with is the diamond, I guess this is because it’s the most popular, and the one most people wear. After concluding that project, anytime I stumbled on precious stones in the bible I got very curious. Revelations 21: 14-27 talks about the New Jerusalem ‘Now the wall of the city had 12 found
