We may ask a question, will God eat our food? We are talking of fellowshipping with God now we have mentioned sharing of food. Can we, when we want to eat say, 'father, come and join us as we eat. Acts 10:41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
Let us see this in Luke 24:36-43 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
And he took it, and did eat before them.
The Bible told us that after Jesus rose up from the dead, he ate bread and fish with his disciples. And if he could eat bread and fish, am sure he can eat jollof rice also.
Another reason why children of God must not be afraid of poisoned food, the reason why true disciples of Jesus Christ can not be bothered by whatever you put in their food is because, they will invite. Jesus to join them in the eating and the moment Jesus touched food it becomes safe. I want you to know that spirit beings can eat human food. How do I know, their was an occasion here before. There was a young man. Who could eat the food of eight people. He was brought because he had a demon possessed. There is no amount of food you put before him that he would not finish. The interesting thing is that there is no sign in his stomach that he as eaten this food. He was questioned and he said he was not the only one eating the food.
In any case, I want God to share my food and I am sure you want to share your food with God also. So invite him in so that he can have fellowship with you even concerning your food.
INVITATION TO FELLOWSHIP
there is constant invitation from the Almighty God to come and fellowship.
1:rest.
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.this is an invitation. He says come and rest.
2:come and drink
John 7:37-38 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
3:let us chat.
Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
In other words, he says, come and chart, come and rest, come and drink. Invitation to fellowship.
