Put your Hope in God‼️Daniel, Saying No ❌ to an Unhealthy Diet

By Pastor and Mrs Chifamba‬

1 Corinthians 10:31

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

NOT EVERYTHING THAT IS COOKED AND SERVED IS GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH. YOU CANNOT EAT ANYHOW AND ENJOY GOOD HEALTH! DO NOT COMMIT SLOW MOTION SUICIDE BY EATING RECKLESSLY. THE BIBLE SAYS “THOU SHALL NOT KILL”

1 Corinthians 3:16-17

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

Daniel 1:5-7

And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king's meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king. 6Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah…

Daniel 1:8

But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.

DANIEL THOUGH A YOUTH WAS WELL ACQUAINTED WITH THE SCRIPTURES TEACHING ON EATING AND DRINKING

Proverbs‬ ‭23‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭NKJV‬

“When you sit down to eat with a ruler, Consider carefully what is before you; And put a knife to your throat If you are a man given to appetite. Do not desire his delicacies, For they are deceptive food.”

Proverbs 20:1

Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

Isaiah 28:7-8

But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment. 8For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.

Proverbs 23:29-35

Had Daniel so desired, he might have found in his surroundings a plausible excuse for departing from strictly temperate habits. He might have argued that, dependent as he was on the king’s favor and subject to his power, there was no other course for him to pursue than to eat of the king’s food and drink of his wine; for should he adhere to the divine teaching, he would offend the king and probably lose his position and his life. Should he disregard the commandment of the Lord he would retain the favor of the king and secure for himself intellectual advantages and flattering worldly prospects.

But Daniel did not hesitate. The approval of God was dearer to him than the favor of the most powerful earthly potentate—dearer than life itself. He determined to stand firm in his integrity, let the result be what it might. – {Prophets and Kings p. 482-483}

DANIEL AND HIS FRIENDS SETTLED FOR THE BEST, GOD’S ORIGINAL PLANT BASED DIET

Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭29‬ ‭NKJV‬

“And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.”

Daniel‬ ‭1‬:‭11‬-‭15‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“Daniel then said to the guard whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, “Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see.” So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days. At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food.”
