TO MILK OR TO MEAT?

To milk or to eat? The answer to the question depends on what you want to do and achieve in and for the kingdom.

Luke 15:22-23 KJV – But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:

Notice the best calf was killed, eaten then the joy and merry followed. Jesus, the perfect (best) lamb had to be sacrificed, we then must complete the cycle and eat Him i.e the word, the bread of life. The merry, the living and the life is in or is as a result of the eating of Christ, the meat. So get to eating the bread \ meat of life – read the word.

John 6:35 KJV – And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life…….

John 6.55-56 KJV – For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

The son was also given a robe. This signified change in identity, change of mindset, perception, appearance and class.

Ephesians 4:23-24 KJV – And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

The first thing you should do when you get born again, when you return to the kingdom, is to renew your mind; Before you rule you need to put on the new man who is after Christ.

Romans 12:2 NKJV – And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

I love how the passion puts it,

Romans 12:2 Passion Translation –  Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you,^[a] but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.

When the prodigal son returned, his dress code was immediately changed by the father. You see a robe and ring were symbols of authority and rulership. Basically what the father was saying to the son was, ‘son it is time for you to rule and manage my kingdom, your inheritance.’

This is what God is saying to His sons and daughters today. It is time to take charge and rule the earth.

Psalms 2:8 NKJV – Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession.

Romans 8:17 KJV – And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ……………………….

Just incase you are wondering what this is that you are co-heiring with Christ, let me help you

Psalms 24:1 KJV – The earth is the Lord‘s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

John 16:15 KJV – All things that the Father hath are mine:

I gather that you now have an understanding of the Bible when God through Paul, tells us that all things are ours as Christians.

1 Corinthians 3:21-22 KJV – Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your’s; Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your’s; And ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.

It is time to reign in life,

Romans 5:17 KJV – For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

Sons and daughters of the most High God, it is time to reign, it is time to rule, it is time to change the diet to meat. It is time to be who you really are.

Psalms 82:6 KJV –  I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

Romans 8:19 The Passion – The entire universe is standing on tiptoe, yearning to see the unveiling of God’s glorious sons and daughters!

Back to our opening scripture, Luke 15:22-23, notice the Father immediately changed the diet of the son upon the sons arrival. A calf was slaughtered and the young man ate MEAT. Why meat? After such a long journey the most practical thing to give the man would have been water or something to quench his thirst perhaps. So why meat? I always say, as I have come to learn, nothing in the bible is by chance. I will show you why meat, walk and work with me here.

Hebrews 5:12 KJV – For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

1 Corinthians 3:1-2 KJV – And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

Meat is for adults, grown ups, mature Christians. Please note maturity has nothing to do with age or how long you have been saved. Maturity is a measure of understanding and believing. You may know, but do you understand? You may understand but do you believe? You see in the kingdom things work differently, the teacher teaches at the pace of the student, the teacher teaches when and if the student is willing to learn, the teacher teaches only as far as the student wants to learn. How hungry are you for the things of God? How deep do you want to go with God? You set the depth, God is ready when you are.

Psalms 81:10 KJV – I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

God will not open your mouth, you open your mouth and He will correspond by filling it. God does not dictate how wide you open  your mouth, He will fill it in accordance to how wide you open it.

Isaiah 55:1 KJV – “Ho! Every one who thirsts, come to the waters……………

Revelations 21:6 KJV – Then He said to me, “It is done I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life without cost.

God will not take you to the waters, you take yourself or die of thirst, it really is your choice. Are you thirsty? Then go to the waters, go to the springs, you will be filled in accordance to your capacity. Remember the widow in 2nd Kings 4:6?

Revelation 22:17 KJV – The Spirit and the bride say, “Come ” And let the one who hears say, “Come ” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost.

You will have to go. Even the prodigal son had to go to the Father before the Father went to him. The interesting thing is that all along the Father (God) was there looking out for the son, waiting for the day the son will make the decision to go back home.

James 4:8 KJV -Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you……………

Today God is telling you, ‘COME’. I feel it so strongly in my spirit, there is an open invitation, will you draw closer?

As I was saying, rather as I AM saying, the diet was changed, the prodigal son was given meat. The time had come for him to rule and take charge, he was ready to take up his position in the kingdom.

Galatians 4:1-2 KJV – Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.

Children and babes are attracted by milk but mature sons and daughters take meat. Milk is good but there is meat to the milk. In the video podcast of this blog I will explain what exactly milk is. Then you will understand why Peter left the catch of fish and followed Jesus, why the disciples left their lifestyles to follow Jesus and you will understand why the promised land is full of milk and honey but before entry you have to believe (be mature and eater of meat).

Anyways, The time had come for the son to take charge, that is why the father fed him meat. The appointed time had come, Galatians 4:2. One might ask, when is the appointed time?

Galatians 4:4 KJV – But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

The appointed time is NOW, we clearly live in the fullness of time. Now is the time for you to take your position as heir and change your diet from milk to meat. Now is the time to rule and reign, Revelation 5:10. When Jesus came, time was fulfilled. That is what Galatians 4:4 is telling us. It is now possible and it really is up to you to have everything Jesus died for, to access, manifest and live in the finished works of the cross.

2 Corinthians 6:2 NASB – for He says, “At the acceptable time I listened to you, And on the day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is “the acceptable time,” behold, now is “the day of salvation”—

Your time is now. NOW faith. Hallelujah!!!

Hebrews 11:1 NASB – Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

Father in the mighty name of Jesus, I thank you for the life of every person reading this. May the eyes of their heart be enlightened and by the power of the Holy Spirit may they rise and shine for your glory is upon them. May they look up and behold the kingdom before them and take up their rightful positions in the name of Jesus. I bind the spirit of unbelief and doubt. I declare and decree no more delays, no more fear and no more limitations in the mighty name of Jesus, AMEN!!!

Child of God, rise up, get off the bench and get into the field, nations await you. Be bold and live in your now moment. Only believe then fight the good fight of faith.

I remain King David Mure.
