Feed Them Where They Are (Isaiah 66:11)

I want to share with you a vision from God communicated through Isaiah, where Israel was to become a nurturing and abundant feeding station. Just like a mother who lovingly nourishes her children, Israel was destined to be a source of sustenance where people from all corners could be fed and cared for. In the same way, you, as a cherished child of God, are being transformed into a place of nourishment for others to partake in the bread of heaven.

As you walk this journey of faith, remember that people are at different stages of their spiritual growth, akin to individuals needing different levels of sustenance. Some may be at the colostrum level, symbolizing the beginning stages of spiritual nourishment akin to the liquid substance preceding milk. It is essential to cater to individuals based on where they are in their journey. If someone requires colostrum, provide them with colostrum, meeting them at their specific point of need.

Different individuals are at various levels of spiritual maturity, analogous to being at different stages of milk consumption. Some may be at the initial milk level, ready to receive only a small amount. Others may be at a stage where they can handle "milk and cereal," requiring a bit more substance to sustain them through the night. As a spiritual guide, it is crucial to be inventive and adaptable in your approach to feeding others where they are at in their journey. This ensures they can digest and absorb the teachings without feeling overwhelmed or choked by the information presented to them.

Some individuals are at the puree stage, analogous to how I would prepare my daughters' food by blending it until it was easier for them to consume. While they may not be able to handle solid food in its original form, they are still in need of sustenance and nourishment. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.

Others may have progressed to the meat level, where they require solid or challenging content to chew on. These individuals seek deeper concepts, ideas, and challenges that stimulate their thinking and understanding. As a mentor or guide, it is essential to meet people at their respective stages, providing them with the appropriate nourishment and knowledge they need to grow and develop in their spiritual journey.

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God. Why am I having this test, this trial, this tribulation? So God can get the glory. Why am I experiencing this persecution, this headache, this pain? So, God can get the glory. Why am I witnessing this miracle, sign, or wonder? So, God can get the glory. Why am I having this challenge in my local assembly, in my ministry, in my business, and in my organization? So God can get the...

The Sacred Sunday Posture:  Kneeling “ A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees; if you are willing, you can make me clean (Mark 1:40).” In addition to bowing your heads and closing your eyes, many people learn to “get on your knees and pray.” Often, it’s at night before going to sleep. Parents instruct their children to kneel on the side of the bed and say their prayers. Perhaps you have fond memories of kneeling and reciting the Lord’s Prayer or the 23 rd Psalm. Or maybe you were taught, like me, “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake. I pray the Lord, my soul, to take. God bless mommy, daddy...” Kneeling is a physical way to revere God as your Creator and remember that God is your Source. “Know that it is the Lord, who is God. It is he that has made us and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3).” Without reverencing and ...

Where Is the Love? Learning to Recognize God's Presence Through Galatians 5

  Where Is the Love?    One of my favorite duets is by Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack: "Where Is the Love?" It asks, "Where is the love that you said you would give to me?" It's a timeless question and one that’s just as spiritually relevant today.    In Galatians 5 , Paul writes to the churches in Galatia about the contrast between the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. He helps believers understand how to discern what’s truly of God. And here's the spiritual compass: love is God's signature . "And envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God."   Galatians 5:21 (KSB)    Whatever you do whether it’s cooking a meal or making a major decision ask yourself: "Where is the love?" Is love your motive? Is love present in your tone, your actions, your intentions?  Paul’s letter urges us to determine whether we are operati...
