The WORD as a sincere MILK

 

Text: 1Peter2:2-3 (KJV)

As newborn babies, desire the sincere milk of the word that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

Have you ever realized that the Word of God is the most delicious and balanced meal? We know that once a child is born, the first meal is breast milk, and you must have realized that they crave for it because that is the most delicious meal for them as it contains substances that improve the baby’s immune system.  God also encourages and starts us with milk as new believers, and the moment we taste it, we also crave for it. Psalm34:8 O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. This milk is the Word of God. It is a pure spiritual and nourishing meal that we need for our growth, and we should guide and preserve what we have jealously. Since it is a delicious and balanced meal, we tend to crave for it daily, which is an amazing experience.

A lot of people are facing problems today because they missed this sincere milk at the foundation. They were trying to grow without starting from the basics. You do not expect a day old baby to start eating meat without them waiting until they have strong teethes. That is why we must go back to the scriptures because the Word of God always nourishes our bodies. Hebrews5:14- But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. We need to feed on it, so as to distinguish the good from evil continually. We grow into solid food as physical children, so it is with baby Christians.  1Corinthians3:2- I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. I urge you to make the Word of God your sincere daily meal that will help you grow and abide as God's own baby so that you will not end up spiritually malnourished in Jesus name. 

PRAYER POINTS: 

1. Oh Lord, may I search the sincere word as to drink and eat thereby in Jesus name.

2.Father, take me back to the state of deep hunger of your word for progressive growth in Jesus name.
