THERE IS an ongoing warfare, the knowledge of which will frighten everybody. It is said that we are up against the devil in a spiritual warfare but unknown to us our enemy has to a large extent been the victor of this chemical warfare.It is my hope and belief that the Holy Spirit will open your eyes to see the plan of the devil to destroy mankind. And God said, Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed: to you it shall be for meat. [Genesis 1: 29]This is the provision that God made for man from the time of creation. With this in mind one can scarcely wonder how come people like Methuselah lived for such a long time; 'And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years; and he died.' He was the oldest man that ever lived and in his time people living to be nine hundred years and more were not a rarity.I want to believe that in those days people kept strictly to the diet of Genesis 1: 29 as prescribed by the almighty Creator of all things. Life expectancy in those days was nine hundred and twelve years and there were no reported cases of sickness and diseases.Also they all had children because none was barren. Sickness, diseases and barrenness set in only after the flood. The flood had destroyed all the vegetation that God had given to man and for their survival God permitted them to eat some meat. Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. [Genesis 9: 3]From this time that animal protein was introduced into the diet of man and for the next ten generations life expectancy dropped to 110 years.Cases of sicknesses, diseases and barrenness began to surface. I am not sure if the people that lived after the flood were expected to stop eating meat after the greens started growing again but one thing is likely ' they started cooking and refining the food that God had given them. This practice has continued till this day and these diseases have continued to afflict man with no solution in sight. In some societies such diseases are referred to as diseases of old age and have been accepted as the norm.This is a lie of the devil; to be old is not a curse and people do not have to be ill or incapacitated by one disease or the other before they die. People are dying long and living short. Human beings, Christians included have played into the hands of devil by what they eat, drink and breathe. God had advised Christians not to be like them but we have not included our food and drinks as part of the warning. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed with the renewing of your mind ''- [Romans 12: 2a]I believe that this scripture captures all aspects of human life including food and water. Even the Christians, maybe with very few exceptions have remained in the world when it comes to what we eat and drink.What is the food of the world' If God wanted man to do to the vegetables and seeds what we now do to them, He would have said so. We have so refined and processed the things that we eat and these same things are the causes of disease in us. People like Methuselah in his days ate wheat, unpolished rice, vegetables, fruits and so on, the way they were harvested ' fresh and raw.What do we have today' Our wheat is refined to the extent that the flour from it is all white. The flour is just starch having been rid of all the vitamins, minerals and fibre in wheat. White rice is preferable in the modern homes, by the educated and civilized woman of today. Polished rice has become the in'thing; it is bereft of the vitamins, minerals and fibre that God in all His wisdom had put in it for man. Our table salt today has been described by some scientists as dangerous. It contains only sodium and chloride ions. This is what the refiners and businessmen have done to the natural sea salt that contains eighty minerals, all-important and essential to the body.Apart from the issue of refining, vegetables and fruits are now preserved in cans and bottles with preservatives that are no good to the body. Other additives like sweeteners and colourings that are meant to add value to the food are equally harmful to man. We are not doing better in the kitchen as we prepare food for the consumption of the family. We cook and over cook the food until they are dead; until all the nutrients in them have been destroyed by excessive heat. The food that comes out of the kitchen is better described as dead food.Improvements in technology and industrialisation have also contributed their own bit to the harmful things that go into the human system all over the world. The air in most of the cities is so polluted that a dark sooth settles on leaves and the grass every morning, just to show you what we inhale on a daily basis. Chemicals like fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, all add to the pollution that contaminates our blood. These chemicals and other pollutants affect the water we drink and render the pH of the body fluids acidic.There are a lot of beverages on the market today that people consume as replacement for water. These drinks are laden with sugar, which is harmful to the body and caffeine, which is a known diuretic. Together sugar and caffeine ensure that the body is perpetually dehydrated and acidic. These beverages are carbonated and if you did not know carbon dioxide is not only the waste product of metabolism in the body, it is also acid forming.Why would somebody be ingesting a gas that should be expelled from the body because it is a waste product and harmful to the body. Not only that, it adds to the acidity of the blood and tissues. The beverages expose the consumer to certain of the degenerative diseases.All these drinks and food types engineered one way or the other together belong to the world and the Christian is still lusting after them.info@nutritionhealthmanagers.com
