Come and Dine
Meal times are a favorite in a healthy home. I was born in a
family where if everyone was present we would be not less than fourteen
children. Meal times were the main events for each day. We would go out to play
plastic ball with other kids. When it was meal time my mom called out “You can
now come!” or “It is time for you to come! [Chiuyai!]”. That was enough; we would all know it was
mealtime. We would leave whatever we were doing and in a flash be in the house
ready to eat.
The Lord Jesus promised that if anyone heard his voice and
opened the door he would come in and share a meal with Him (Revelation 3:20). There
is no need to suffer from spiritual malnutrition in God’s house. With Christ,
it is mealtime and you are invited. Sharing a meal with Christ is participating
at the highest table reserved for the most favored very important people. What a privilege we have. Avoid missing meal times. All you need is a good
spiritual appetite. The table is ready
and there is no spiritual drip for those who do not want to eat.
>> A meal to bring you back to the cross. This
is a meal you need when you are becoming more conscious of other
things than Christ (Luke 22:19).
>> A meal to celebrate people returning home. The greatest
delight in God’s house is when people return home through opening their lives
to Christ (Luke 15:24)
>> A meal of regular word intake . You
need in take of God’s word (Mathew 4:4)
>> A meal unusual. When the disciples
brought food to Jesus, He would not eat
it and said, ‘my meat is to do the will of Him that sent me.’ (John 4: 34)
>> A meal in the presence of enemies (Psalm
23:5).
>>A meal
of miracles served when your needs are much greater than your means. To
God meeting your needs supernaturally is children’s bread (Mathew 15:26).
>> A meal when you are down and all seems
lost.. Do not lose heart Jesus is saying to you, ‘Come and dine’ (John
21:12).
