Ok Now. First we'll see, what does Bible tells about FOOD?

*~*~* About Food *~*~*

Bible says in Matthew 6 : 25-27

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?"

When I read these bible verse, I felt that here Jesus says "Do not worry...", "Do not worry..." to us; but in His heart "He is worried", "He is worried" about you and me only. Here, "food" implies worldly wealth. Here He also gives an excellent example of birds - that birds doesn't do any agricultural work to have their food, nor do they store in bank-accounts for future plans. Remember that our heavenly Father provide them food by any means, if He do to birds then He will do more for us because we're valuable than these birds.

This refers to those peoples like He said one of the "parable of a rich fool" Once there was a man, who did agriculture at his farm, when he received plenty of grains/wealth from it, then he keept in bank-accounts for his future only; and spend in unnecessarily things for himself only; and never helped the needy one who came at his door; nor he give one-tenth of his wealth to God/Church. One day God took his life and as he have gained nothing of heavenly wealth, He couldn't able to enter in Lord's Kingdom. ( Luke 12 : 13-21)

Its clear that, we shouldn't worry about future, we shouldn't spend in unnecessarily worldly pleasures things nor we shouldn't save worldly wealth, but rather doing this we should, spend in only necessary things and always help the needy people and give one-tenth of our income to God, that we should gain heavenly wealth that we can rejoice in Lord's Kingdom. And lastly, if you note in our topic, He also says that: "Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?"

Which tells clearly that, if we gain the whole worldly wealth than also we couldn't able to expand our life, it's only applicable if our actions are good in sight of God. Therefore, live a simple life and be humble and don't think yourself as greater, because God says who humble himself as the little child is greater in Heaven. ( Matthew 18 : 4) He also says, that its easy for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, but its impossible for a rich man to pass through the gates of a Kingdom of God. ( Mark 10 : 25) Hence, Be Humble & Live Simple!

Ok Now. Let's see, what does Bible tells about CLOTHES?

*~*~* About Clothes *~*~*

Bible says in Matthew 6 : 28-33

“And why you worry about clothes? Notice how the flowers grow in the field. They never work or spin yarn for clothes. But I say that not even Solomon in all his majesty was dressed like one of these flowers. That’s the way God clothes the grass in the field. Today it’s alive, and tomorrow it’s thrown into the fire. So how much more will he clothe you people who have so little faith? Therefore don’t ever worry and say, ‘What are we going to eat?’ or ‘What are we going to drink?’ or ‘What are we going to wear?’ Everyone is concerned about these things, and your heavenly Father certainly knows you need all of them. But first, be concerned about his kingdom and what has his approval. Then all these things will be provided for you." Here, "clothes" implies all luxurious worldly things to show off one's beauty. Here He also gives an excellent example of flowers - that flowers doesn't do any tailoring or sewing work to wear their clothes everyday. Buy remember that our heavenly Father provide them clothes everyday by any means, which makes these flowers the most beautiful and glorious dressed-up clothes in the world that, if someone spend all the wealth of King Solomon or today's Bill Gates, then also no one will be succeed to get such clothing. If God clothe to these flowers and grass which are living today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, then He will do more for us because we're valuable than these flowers & grass.

This refers to those peoples who wear man-made worldly things to show themselves extra beautiful. Like all type of jewels and ornaments: gold, silver, platinum, etc. The first clothes provided to the first man & woman (Adam & Eve) was God. When Adam and Eve falls in sin and their eyes got opened then they felt themselves in nakedness and they were hiding from God. So, God sacrifices a Lamb and clothed them. But note that here God provides them only clothes to remove their nakedness not any extra things He put in them to show off. ( Genesis 3 : 21)

Its clear that, we shouldn't wore gold, silver, etc. as earrings, necklace, bracelets, etc. like most of the people's do. Note that, God only given these stones (gold, etc) under the earth, under our feet. But it doesn't mean that, we should take those things which are in our underfoot and put them on our head, neck, ears, etc. We are more precious than these stones. Our body is the temple of God, so keep it holy. ( 1 Corinthians 6 : 19) And lastly, if you note in our topic, He also says that: "But first, be concerned about His kingdom and what has His approval. Then all these things will be provided for you."

Which tells clearly that, if we fulfill His desire and live a normal & natural life by not spending in unnecessarily worldly things. Then He will fulfill our desire in this short life of this world and in His Kingdom forever; where gold, silver and all precious gemstone will be in Heaven for us, because Heaven is made up of these things only. ( Revelation 21 : 18) Therefore, live a natural life and be humble and don't think that you're not beautiful, because when you seek His Kingdom then in-christ everyone is the most beautiful and handsome person. ( 1 Peter 3 : 4) He also says that, He knows already what you want and He is mighty enough to provide you by any ways. So don't waste your precious time & give your precious heart (love) to these jewels, ornaments, etc. which are put into the fire. ( Proverbs 23 : 26) Hence, Be Natural & Live Faithful!

Ok Now. Let's see, what does Bible tells about HOME?

*~*~* About Home *~*~*

Bible says in Luke 11 : 21-26

“When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his properties are safe. But when someone stronger than him attacks and overpowers him, and he takes away the armor/weapon in which the man trusted and then at last divides up his property." "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters." “When an impure-spirit comes out of a person, it goes through dry places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house where I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first.” Here in these above verses, I've divided into 3 sections, let us understand each of them. 1) In the first section, Jesus tells us, as a parable: "There is a STRONG MAN in his OWN HOUSE, who is fully armed with WEAPON like a army man - so his PROPERTY is safe, but unfortunately when SOMEONE STRONGER than him attacks, by firstly taking away the man's weapon from him - in which the man was fully dependent and rules over him and at last he divides/share the man's properties with his CO-MEMBERS.

Here we must notice all the highlighted Capital Words, which are really more important because they all implies something else meaning. STRONG MAN→ A Christian (i.e. you & me *our soul)

OWN HOUSE→ Our Body (or heart)

WEAPON→ Our Bible (a fear/faith on God)

PROPERTY→ Our Soul (a heavenly life)

SOMEONE STRONGER→ A Devil (or a satan)

CO-MEMBERS→ Other 7 Devils (or 7 satans) Now jumping to the 3rd section & understanding it, will solve this illusion. 3) In the third section, Jesus gives the hidden answer of the first section parable, before I relate them in my words, you please scroll-up and read our topic verse once again.

1&3 Relatively: The christian brother's or sister's, who are stronger to follow God's words (Bible) and depending on it, he/she keep their body & heart safe, from not committing any sins. As they're in-christ and living a pure life, hence the devil is thrown out; and when this devil goes out and un-succeed to get a resting place, then it comes back and looks with joyful that now this christian brother's or sister's body is much more pure & clean as before - so it invites 7 more co-devils and becoming a stronger devilish power, they tempt the person to commit sin by attracting worldly pleasures. At this situation, if the person looses his faith and he/she commits a sin at first cause, then devil takes the advantages of it and attracts him to do more sin and keeps him away to follow God's words (Bible). And finally this person goes totally away from God and gets completely addicted to the sin. Henceforth, his/her souls are put into the hell (or given into the hands of devils) 2) Now in middle of these two sections, Jesus tells us that: "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me, scatters."

It implies that, when we follow His words and live a perfect life without doing any sin, then God lives inside our body, WITH US(Holy Spirit); But when we addict to any sin and uncleans our body then He is NOT WITH US and against us, because He is against to sin. And those whosoever are not connected to God, are all divided with these devils. Therefore keep this in mind that, our body is only our own HOME and its a temple of God. So keep it clean by being Holy as He is Holy. ( 1 Peter 1 : 16) Note that, our EYES are the windows of our BODY(home). So, keep your eye-sight good and stay away from evil-things.

Note that, our THOUGHTS are the door of our BODY(home). So, keep your thoughts good and stay away from evil-thoughts. Because Jesus says: “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him." ( John 14 : 23) Therefore, fear with God, “I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do. But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him! ( Luke 12 : 59) Hence, Be Holy & Live Righteous!
