Text: John 6:32-35
Exhortation:
Bread connotes food which sustains a man. We need it to satisfy our physical hunger and stay alive. But man is not made of body alone. Man is a spirit who has a soul and dwells in a body. Just as the body regularly needs nourishment so does the soul. So it is unwise to depend only on physical food for survival in this world.
This is why the Bible says, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4
The word that proceeds from the mouth of God is Jesus Christ Himself. He is God’s Word that was made flesh, and dwelt among us- John 1:14a.
In John 6:35, Jesus said unto the people, “I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.”
In order for your soul to be regularly nourished you need to feed on the Bread of Life, which is the word of God. Those who refuse to do this would suffer from spiritual malnourishment and manifest symptoms of deficiencies. Such spiritual symptoms include doubt, unbelief, fear, anxiety, worry, lukewarmness, lethargy, lust, etc
The health and prosperity of your soul should be your top priority. Feed on the Bread of Life today!
Action Nugget: Don’t allow a day to pass without reading, studying and meditating on the word of God.
