Let's work for good food

The Lord teaches us that we are to work not for the food that perishes but for that which is eternal:

"Work, not for the food that perishes, but for that which is permanent until eternal life, which the Son of man will give you. For it is he whom the Father, whom God, has marked with his seal. . " (John 6:27)

He will also make the comparison between the Water which comes from God and which springs up into eternal life, saying that he who drinks from it will never be thirsty again, and the water of the well, which cannot permanently quench thirst. :

"Jesus answered and said to him:" Whoever drinks of this water will be thirsty again. But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty, but the water that I will give him will become in him a fountain. of water that will spring up into eternal life. "" (John 4: 13-14)

Jesus Christ also tells us that he is the Bread of Life, and that whoever eats of this Bread will live forever. It is therefore for this food that we must work, for our salvation, the salvation of the Church:

"And Jesus said to them, I AM the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty." (John 6:35)

"I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever, and the bread that I will give is my flesh (The Lamb / The prey) that I will give for the life of the world. " (John 6:51)

Brothers and sisters, you who love the Lord and who want to please him, the Lord invites us into his Kingdom, telling us that his Kingdom is not of this world:

"Jesus answered," My Kingdom is not of this world. " (John 18:36)

He teaches us that to get there we will have to go through the narrow path and the narrow gate, and that few people go through there:

"" Enter by the narrow gate. For it is the broad gate and the wide way that leads to perdition, and there are many who enter by there. For narrow is the gate and narrow is the way that leads to life , and there are few who find them. "" (Matthew 7: 13-14)

He also tells us that it is the violent who take hold of the Kingdom of God (Matthew 11:12), those who seek and devour (rob) the Prey (the flesh of Christ / the Lamb) in the morning, to share the Loot (the mysteries hidden in Christ) in the evening:

"Benjamin is a wolf who will tear; in the morning he will devour the prey, and in the evening he will divide the spoil." (Genesis 49:27)

(Remember from Benjamin. When Joseph feasted on him)

The violence of which Christ speaks to us consists in walking in the Spirit in order to put off the flesh (of sin), and to put on Christ, by means of the sincere search for the will of God: of the knowledge of the Doctrine of Christ and the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God:

"But he answered:" You have been given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but for others it is said to them in parables, so that when they see they may not see, and that when they hear they may not understand. not." (Luke 8:10)

Paul gives us a command from the Lord saying: He who does not work should not eat either (2 Thessalonians 3:10). It is actually a fact, a natural law, because whoever does not seek God with all his heart by investing in it all his time will not have revelation. He will have nothing to eat, no heavenly food. Even though he listens to people who transmit the thought of God, he cannot grasp it, because he does not work for his salvation, he is not invested in this work, he does not seek God with his whole being. .

The Word of God teaches us that ruin comes on one who is in debauchery, who is lazy to work, to seek God:

"Do not give sleep to your eyes and do not let your eyelids slumber. Free yourself like a gazelle from the hunter's hand, and like a bird from the fowler's hand. Go, lazy, to the ant, see her ways and be wise. She has no chief, director, or governor, and yet she prepares her bread in summer and gathers food during the harvest. Lazy, how long will you stay in bed? Will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little drowsiness, a little crossing your hands when you go to bed ... And your poverty will come like a traveler, and your famine like the man with the shield. " (Proverbs 6: 4-11)

The Lord asks us to seek the Kingdom of God and his righteousness first, and worry about nothing else, because if we do so, if we do his will, we have absolutely nothing to fear from this system. God is Mightier than the devil and all his kingdoms, whether earthly or spiritual; the devil has no power over a child of God who walks by the Spirit if it has not given him of God.

There are many lands that represent many coming out of people in whom the seed falls (in whom the Word of God is sown), some of them believe for a time, but when the test comes they withdraw from the faith. Others also believe, but their faith is stifled by the worries of this world. Yet the Lord tells us that birds do not work and that God feeds them, and he says: Are you not worth more than birds? ! And as for the clothing, does he not put on the flowers? Are we not worth more than flowers in his eyes? God gives us a message today, and he says: Follow me and don't worry about anything because I will take care of you myself. Do not put your trust in man or in your own flesh, and do not fear men but fear him who can destroy both soul and body in the eternal fire:

"" This is why I say to you: Do not worry about your life, what you will eat and what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will be dressed in. Is not life more than food, and the body more than the garment? Behold the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap, nor gather in barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more excellent And who of you by worrying can add a cubit to his stature? And why worry about clothing? Examine carefully how the lilies of the field grow: They neither work nor spin, yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of them. Much more to you, people of little faith? Do not worry, then, saying, “What shall we eat? s-us? ” Or: “What will we drink?” Or: “What will we be wearing?” For these are the nations that are earnestly seeking all these things. But your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you on top of it. therefore do not worry for the next day, for the next day will worry about itself. For each day is enough its evil. ”(Matthew 6: 25-34)

"So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing hidden that should not be discovered, nor nothing secret that should not be known. What I tell you in darkness, say it in darkness. light. And what you hear in your ear, preach it from the rooftops. And do not fear those who kill the body and cannot kill the soul. But rather fear the one who can destroy both the soul and the body in hell. " (Matthew 10: 26-28)

There are many called, but few chosen (Matthew 22:14), and it is well to remember this so as not to be persuaded to follow the crowds. Many today are fountains without water (2 Peter 2:17), they have nothing to drink, but Christ is the Rock from whom the spiritual drink flows, the Water which comes from God:

"... and they all ate the same spiritual food, and they all drank the same spiritual drink. Because they were drinking from the spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was Christ." (1 Corinthians 10: 3-4)

Let us work for the food which is eternal and not for that which perishes, let us invest our whole life in it because these are the worshipers that the Father asks (in spirit and in truth) (John 4:23). For he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened (Matthew 7: 8). God says: If you seek me, you will find me, after having sought me with all your heart (Jeremiah 29:13). He also says in his Word that our profession will be to be priests of God. Strangers will work and we will feed on their riches, for everything belongs to our Father, but we will have called ourselves SERVANTS OF OUR GOD:

"And strangers will stand there and graze your flocks, and the children of the foreigner will be your plowmen and your vine growers. But you will be called" priests of Yahweh ", you will be called" servants of our God. " "You will eat the riches of the nations and you will boast of their glory. Instead of your shame you will have double. Instead of confusion, they will shout for joy at seeing their portion." (Isaiah 61: 5-7)

God gives wisdom to him who seeks him and for the unbelievers they give them the occupation of gathering in order to give to him who is pleasing to God:

"For God gives to the human being who is pleasing to him wisdom, knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he gives as occupation to collect and to accumulate in order to give to the one who is pleasing to God . " (Ecclesiastes 2:26)

It is the Word of God and no one should question it. God has enlisted us for the war, to be his witnesses who act by his power, and there is no soldier who takes care of the affairs of this world if he wants to please the one who enlisted him for the war. , and you have to work to reap the rewards:

"There is no soldier who bothered with the affairs of this life if he wanted to please the one who enlisted him for the war. And if someone fights in sports games, he is only crowned if he wrestled according to the rules. The plowman must also work first, and then he reap the fruits. Consider what I say, for the Lord gives you understanding in all things. " (2 Timothy 2: 4-7)

Our job is to strip the prey, and share the spoils. Like Peter, this is the food that we must go to seek and give to the poor: I have neither gold nor silver, but what I have I give to you, in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, raise you and walk.
