When God created the earth it was good, and he was pleased. God made sure that Adam and Eve had everything necessary to sustain in life. They had fruits to eat, clean water to drink. They were even walking around naked and didn’t feel uncomfortable, until that day according to Genesis 2:17 when Eve convinced Adam to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. God told them that if they eat from that tree they will certainly die, and that’s exactly what happened. Human beings have been suffering and dying ever since because of Adam and Eve disobedience to God.
According Matthew 14:18 – 21 Jesus said, “Bring them here to me,” he said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children. When Jesus walked the earth the food that people consumed at the time was not sprayed with pesticides and made with all sort of harmful chemicals, the animals were not injected with hormones, and so on. However, that’s not the case in today’s generation.
We cumsume whatever is used to make, grow or raise whatever it is that we consume. My grandparents generation lived up in their 90’s and some in their 100’s. This generation is dying younger than ever. People and children are dying from all sorts of diseases, kids are diabetic, have arthritis, cancer, and every other diseases that’s common to adulthood. I believe that this is a result of the food that we consume. Yesterday I read an article published by BBC news titled, “Nigeria has confiscated 2.5 tonnes of “plastic rice” smuggled into the country by unscrupulous businessmen, the customs service says.” Upon further investigating, custom officials say when they cooked up the rice it was too sticky – and it was then abundantly clear this was no ordinary batch.” “They’ve sent a sample to the laboratories to determine exactly what the “rice” is made of.” Finally, Investigations are under way to establish how much of the contraband has already been sold.”
We are living in some serious times, and if God spares my life to live to see 2017, I vow to control and balance the things that can be controlled and balanced in my life. This will apply to my personal and professional life. I vow to implement a 360 degrees change of the food that I consume and how I take care of my body on a daily basis. Thus says the word of God in Corinthians 6:19, “What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own?”
