HOW MUCH CAN YOU EAT?

How much can you eat in a day? I won't be surprised if some readers answered this question the moment they saw the caption. "ooh...about three or four times in a day"... "i'm on a diet so i eat about twice in a day"... "often i get very busy with work and other stuff so i don't eat much in a day"... "ei i like food oo. I can eat as much as i can, provided i don't burst".
Different responses from different individuals. But seriously, how much can you take in a day? How much can you consume? How much can you eat? Take a journey with me to the spiritual world. Take this personal and think about it; as a christian, you should know that the food for your soul is the word of God, and speaking in the heavenly tongue edifies your spirit being. Now, measure up the amount of spiritual food you take in a day, and the edification of your spirit. Can you tell how strong your soul and spirit being is now? Do you see a couple of people like you in the spirit world who actually have food right before them but isn't that they cannot eat, but are not eating? Do you see people starve themselves with excuses of being busy and being on diets? Well, i'll admit that those who like eating can be very spiritual. Lol.
We take the little things we see and do for granted. How would you feel after you've cooked your best meal for your lover and he/she seats by the table, receives a phone call leaves without even saying a word? Or he/she eats a part of it hurriedly and rushes to attend to something else? I guess that's how God might feel when we take His word for granted or when we don't take our heavenly breakfast. I wasn't a breakfast kind of person untill i understood this. It's true breakfast is the most important meal of the day as my mom will say. So is your quiet time the most important spiritual meal as it prepares and shapes you for the day as a christian.
So now i ask again, how much can you eat? Are you on a diet or you get too busy? Do you eat slowly or you're in a hurry to attend to other important issues? And what's your dessert after meals?
