In the first part of this title, it was established that God loves His people and He cares for their feeding. This began in the Garden of Eden.

Do you know what? The Lord since then has always provided "Food" for His people. Mankind was created to be a vegetarian, Genesis chapter two.

Many types of foods, and vegetables, were made available for the food of man. One thing was that there was a restriction in respect of what to eat and what not to eat. The instructions were clear thus,
"And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat.
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die" Genesis 2:16-17.

In this verse, there were free foods as much as there were forbidden foods. Free foods were approved foods that give good health and life. On the other hand, forbidden foods are poisonous and deadly. They cause death. This was the case with the first man, Adam, and his wife, Eve. Both went for the forbidden fruit and ate it.

Later, because of disobedience "bread of sorrow" was added to the list of munu of mankind. This was not the desire of God for man.

Beloved, watch out for the free foods of God for you to live a healthy life in the Lord Flee every forbidden food that breeds ill health and death. May the Lord help you to know the difference between free foods and forbidden foods and to be able to eat life-giving foods. Stay blessed and prepared for the imminent coming of the Lord. Shalom!
