MEMORISE: “And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.” – John 6:35

Read: John 6:31-35

31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

Bible In One Year: Ezekiel 47-48, 1 John 1

MESSAGE:

The Yoruba’s have a saying that what the bird eats is what it will use to fly. In other words, what you will eat will determine the strength available for you to function. While physical bread will give you physical strength, spiritual bread will give you spiritual strength. According to our memory verse for today, Jesus Christ is the Bread of Life and He is the spiritual bread you need for spiritual strength. Many people are under the bind age of the devil because they have no spiritual strength; they have not been eating the Bread of Life.

If you don’t want to be spiritually dead, then you must constantly feed on the Bread of Life. John 1:14 says that Jesus Christ is the Word of God. How often do you feed on the Word of God? It is the amount of the word of God that you know and understand that will determine how string you are to resist the devil so that he can flee from you. Spiritual strength is more important than physical strength.

ACTION POINT:

Feed on the word of God more than you feed on physical food.

Hymn 10:

1 What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!

2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a Friend so faithful?
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer!

3 Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield You;
You wilt find a solace there.
