Title: What is your food?
What is your food?
- Bring them in
- Build them up
- Send them out
That is discipleship in action but unfortunately churches are not fulfilling that mission much as they busy themselves with programmes.
In line with the title of his message, he noted that while we indulge in food, how much are we nourished spiritually? That includes prayer and fasting. Probably very little.
Then he shared about Daniel and three youths who were taken captives to serve King Nebuchadnezzar when he conquered Jerusalem. In their training, before they were to serve the king, they refused to partake in the royal food served to them as they did not want to defile themselves to honour God. While they only took vegetables and water, they look better than those who had consumed the king’s food!
Ps Lawrence then asked the congregation what their longings and appetite were as these would determine where we stand with God.
He concluded by sharing that in all his years of service to God, his biggest obstacle was his self. He then said that as we love God more we love our self less. He also shared that as we choose to honour God, He would honour us too.
