You are what you eat!!

 Senor/senorita, can I ask a question?

What have you been consuming?

There are so many junks we consume in the 21st century. Right from infancy, junks are being introduced to us; purchasing packs of noodles, sugary drinks, sweets and chocolate boxes is already a norm for an average Nigerian toddler.

I remember a picture where some kids used packs of noodles to fill the bathtub. I guess they have quite a lot stocked in the house.

Adults are not left out. Junks are consumed in large quantities because there's no time to cook and eat nutritious food, not to talk of eating fruits.

We have developed the knack of consuming junks: fries, cakes, sweets, chocolates et cetera that we don't really value real food anymore.

Maybe  because we are in the jet age where everything is fast, we are inclined to fast foods too.

That's on a light note anyway.

Someone might think ' nutrition is subjective', but are you being nourished?

Physically, as we consume junks, we also consume junks spiritually. The eyes and ears are windows to the soul. What you feed it is what it grows with; what becomes your composition-your make-up. And ultimately, that's what you give out to others too. 

Junks are all around at the fingertips- porn, erotic books, heresies, demonic myths, videos, and posts on the social media.

Do you know that even many so called 'motivational books, videos' are junks?

Hereses keep multiplying, because it's the junk that many have, that they feed their audience.

It's an unconscious process: you reflect what you feed your soul.

There was a day one of my lecturers in school was having a discussion with me and my colleagues in class. It's got to do with feminism. That time, I had been feeding my soul (reading) with some feminism stuffs.

Then I asked him a question with the intention of challenging him: " why does a female change her maiden name to that of her husband ( the male) and not the other way round?" I can't recollect him giving me a concise answer. I felt triumphant.I reflected what I had been feeding my soul.

 But my spirit questioned the triumph: it might be good, yeah! But was it godly?

Not all things that are good are godly.

Where I asked the question, I was pretty sure some others would have picked up the question in their hearts, which would cause some turmoil, and probably be misled, perhaps passionately misleading others too in what they believed was 'right'.

There was also a time when I read a book; a very good book on how to be financially bouyant, but I got to a place where it says" the love of money is not the root of evil" whereas the bible pointed out that the love of money is the root of all evil. It said the direct opposite of what the Bible says

"The love of money is the root of all evil"

Be discerning of the things you feed your soul. Don't just take every thing you come across hook, line and sinker. Information are being manufactured in hell and brought to the world to confuse children of God and make our hearts softened towards the ways of darkness.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!

THE SOUL IS MEANT TO BE NOURISHED, NOT JUST FED.

If you eat from the correct source, you'd grow correctly. And the only correct source is CHRIST.

You want to grow correctly, study the Word of God diligently, meditate on it and hold on to every detail in it with the tenacity of a bulldog. Only then can you grow correctly.

This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous and then, you shall have good success." Joshua 1:8 

Don't forget: junks will always be at your finger tips, but YOU CAN DECIDE WHAT YOU EAT.

Till next week, keep glowing in Abba's love.
