DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  1 CORINTHIANS 6:13-15

(13)  Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them.  Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
(14)  And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
(15)  Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ?  shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot?  God forbid. 

BE YE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY!

Brethren, our Father gave humanity all moving things that are lively as meat and greener herbs of the field for food; (Genesis 9:3); therefore, all things were given to humanity freely for consumption, and to sustain lives on planet earth; and even the beasts of the field, consume greener grass and each other for food, whether we eat meat for food or not, that does not matter to our Father, for he has already sanctified and blessed all things for consumption;  in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 14; our Father analysed all foods and meats, that are clean and unclean, rightful or not rightful for human consumption, not because we will die if we ate those foods, but because they are beneficial to our good health and holiness unto him.

In the above text, Apostle Paul explains to believers, that our Father gave meat (food) for stomach consumption, likewise, the stomach must have meat (food) to nourish and give energy to the body; regardless, when it is time to die, whether we consume meat (food) in our stomachs or not, we will still die with full or empty stomachs, therefore, whatever we consume into our stomachs does not disturb who we are spiritually, (Matthew 14:17-19); however, our bodies are temples of our Father, therefore, we have to reverence the Spirit of our Father which resides in our mortal bodies, and keep our bodies in holiness unto him;  for it is written, "What?  know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?" (1 Cor. 6:19);  therefore, let us not abuse our bodies, with sexual immoralities, but rather, let us preserve our sanctified bodies for Jesus Christ, for his purposes, for we are branches of his vineyard, parts of his body, in his righteousness; therefore, let us be careful of how we utilize his body parts; for we are not of ourselves but we belong to Jesus Christ; and same way our Father raised up Jesus from the death, if we sleep in death before his second coming, on the day of his glorious appearing, our Father will raise us up together by his power, to meet with Jesus Christ in the firmament of his glory and live with him forevermore.

Brethren, Apostle Paul went on to ask the believers, if they were aware that their bodies are parts of the body of Christ?;  from my point of view, regardless of who we are on this earth or what types of faiths we associate ourselves with, let us know that we are all parts of the body of Jesus Christ; many will say, how?  case in point, (i)  first of all, humanity in general was formed out of the dust of the ground, (Genesis 2:7); therefore, through creation, we already have something in common that no scientific knowledge can modify; (ii)  secondly, our Father breathe his breath of life into human nostrils and man became a living souls;  therefore, as humans, we all have the same breath of life, from our Father, within our mortal bodies; and if Jesus Christ is part of spirit of our Father,  then, for sure, it is the same spirit of our Father and of Jesus Christ, that resides within our innermost spirits; therefore, collectively, we are parts of the Holy Trinity;  (iii)  thirdly, regardless of our nationalities, colors or genders; amazingly, we have the same red color blood running through our veins, within our mortal bodies, my brothers and sisters, regardless of how we look at things, in this fallen world, we are all parts of our Father, and joint heirs to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; who can explain why we are not?;   truly!  Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life:  no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:7);  surely!  there is not other way to our Father, Jesus was there with him during creation, he will be there with him again to judge the whole world; therefore, we do not have any other choices to our Father, than to accept him into our hearts as Lord and Savior of the world, have salvation and life everlasting.

Therefore, as believers, we cannot do whatever we please with our sanctified body parts of Jesus Christ;  also, if the spirits of the Father and of Jesus Christ resides in our mortal bodies, then same spirits that quickens our souls to walk in righteousness, will resurrect our mortal bodies on the day of judgment;  therefore, let us have respects to the Spirit of our Father residing in our mortal bodies; let us not take our bodies for granted, they are branches of the vineyard of Jesus Christ; when we sexually abuse our bodies with unsatisfied people, or drink alcohol excessively; basically, we grieve the Holy Spirit of our Father and of Jesus Christ which was given to comfort and guide our ways in righteousness into life everlasting;  for it is written, "And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption." (Ephesians 4:30); therefore, let us follow holiness and live peaceably with all men forevermore.

CONCLUSION:

Dearly beloved, as believers, our Father owns this world, we have the right to do anything we want on this earth; however, let us ask ourselves this question, is everything suitable, beneficial to Christ believers?;  if we answer "No!" to this question, then let us emulate Christ; not join multitude of this fallen world who walk in ungodliness; but rather  preserve our sanctified bodies for the masters use, and for his glorification on planet earth forever and evermore.  Amen and Amen!

QUOTES OF THE DAY:

(KJV.)  1 Cor. 12:12-14  For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ....For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews of Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit...For the body is not one member, but many.
