Come and Dine

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).
