Hungry for Christ… Is it a sin to overeat?

Hello World in Focus International (WIFI)subscribers, family and friends.. As I was studying today I realize that when you are in Love with Jesus beyond a shadow of a doubt, everyday you should become  hungry to learn more  about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and his precious Holy Word..

Today I will be focusing on wanting more from God instead of man..  Also, I won’t expound on overeating, but  have enclosed some interesting scriptures below to ponder over…   I’ve often heard people say that it’s a sin to overeat… On that note, I must say that from time to time I find myself overeating the things I love the most…  Sweets, Carbohydrates, etc.. Let’s just round it off to all the stuff that taste so good, but is not necessarily good for the human body if you over do it… I believe anything that is done in excess can deem harmful to the body, so let try and do  everything  in moderation…

When I was younger, I was surrounded by  women where I lived in a community in the suburbs of  Long Beach, and there was this burning desire that these women and men of God had to spread the good news of Jesus Christ.  I did not quite  understand just yet why they were so excited about this man called Jesus… I knew him, but I did not know him on a level to recognize that he was my everything…  In accepting him into my life at the tender age of 12-years-old, not only accepting him but was certain that God had called and chosen me as one of his great chosen vessels to do the work of the Lord.  I had a burning desire to work for the Lord, but the detours of life had a way of taking you on some journey’s that you or God never intended…  I’m just thankful that after many of years of seeking I was delayed but not denied…

The scales began to release from my eyes, day-by-day as I learned more about our Lord and Savior… Being young and driven was not easy being who I was and who I was called to be..  I always knew what the voice of the Lord sounded and felt like.  Although, being young in the city was hard because not everyone had the same ideals, and on that note I began to see things and hear things in the air that were not like God, but I still had the people to look up to that were walking upright before God…  For I understood the scripture in the book of
2 Corinthians 10:3 :For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.  “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God…. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.” Romans 12:2, 9

I’m reminded of the scripture in the book of  James 1:27 : ” Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.”

 

Revelation 7:16-17  (NKJV) 16 They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; 17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters.  And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

Kirk Franklin – Revolution

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”  Revelation 21:4 (ESV)

Romans 13:1-7 ESV / 2 helpful votes

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God’s wrath but also for the sake of conscience. …

Then you may rise up early and go on your way.” They said, “No; we will spend the night in the town square.” But he pressed them strongly; so they turned aside to him and entered his house. And he made them a feast and baked unleavened bread, and they ate. But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people to the last man, surrounded the house. And they called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know them.” …
