FIRST LOVE RECOVERY ARTICLES

FEAST OF LIFE
 

‘Wisdom has built her house;
she has hewn out its seven pillars.’
‘ She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine;
she has also set her table.’
‘ She has sent out her maids, and she calls
from the highest point of the city.’
‘ "Let all who are simple come in here!"
she says to those who lack judgment.’
‘ "Come, eat my food
and drink the wine I have mixed.’
‘ Leave your simple ways and you will live;
walk in the way of understanding.’

‘ The woman Folly is loud;
she is undisciplined and without knowledge.’
‘ She sits at the door of her house,
on a seat at the highest point of the city,’
‘ calling out to those who pass by,
who go straight on their way.’
‘ "Let all who are simple come in here!"
she says to those who lack judgment.’
‘ "Stolen water is sweet;
food eaten in secret is delicious!"’
‘ But little do they know that the dead are there,
that her guests are in the depths of the grave.’
Proverbs 9:1-6, 13-18(NIV)


Everyone born into this world feeds naturally from the second feast(Proverbs 9:13-18),which is the feast of Folly!
The feast of Folly leads to death,which is actually spiritual separation from God,and one's divine destiny!
To find and fulfill one's divine destiny one needs to turn away from the second feast and turn to Christ Jesus who is the wisdom of God.
‘but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.’
1 Cor.1:24(NIV)


‘Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval."’
‘I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."’
‘Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.’
John 6:27, 51, 68(NIV)


In and though the Lord Jesus Christ one has access to the first feast(Proverbs 9:1-6) which is the feast of life!
This life is known as eternal or everlasting life(John 3:16).
It is a life of a spiritual personal love relationship with God(John 17:3).
The believer in Christ partakes of the feast of life by spiritually feeding on the Bible(Duet.8:3).
The Bible is God's love letter to His precious people,and the whole world!
It is the recorded form of all that God has said in His wisdom to mankind!
It is the wisdom of God in printed form!
‘Because of this, God in his wisdom said, 'I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and others they will persecute.'
Luke 11:49(NIV)
‘Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:’
Luke 11:49(KJV)


This wisdom is heavenly,divine and spiritual.
It is not earthy,devilish or carnal in nature(James 3:15).
It is hidden to the natural(1 Cor.2:14) or carnal mind(Romans 8:6a,7).
It is accessible only to the spiritual mind(Romans 8:6b)!
The spiritual mind is a mind that focuses and feasts on the wisdom of God,which is spirit and life(John 6:63).
This wisdom is revealed by the Spirit of God at the feast of life to all pilgrims on the journey of divine destiny!
‘We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.’
‘No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.’
‘None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.’
‘However, as it is written:
"No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love him"’
‘but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit.
The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.’
1 Cor.2:6-10(NIV)


Feasting on the 'hidden' wisdom of God is the art of meditation on the Bible(Josh.1:8;Psalm 1:2;1 Tim.4:15) with the help of the Spirit. The feast of life keeps one's love relationship with God intimate,active and relevant towards fulfillment of one's divine destiny and as well as that of other pilgrims!
‘For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.’
‘Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.’
Col.1:9, 3:16(NIV)
