TOPIC: EAT NO BLOOD!
TEXT: LEVITICUS 17:8-16
KEY VERSE: "Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood" (LEVITICUS 17:12).
The life of the flesh is in the blood. The text under consideration gives a divine directive as regards tampering with or trivialising the worth of any animal blood. The mosaic and post-mosaic scriptural injunctions were that no flesh should be eaten with its blood.
The blood of every animal slaughtered for meat were to be poured before the Lord. This is a mark of obedience and reverence to God who created these beasts and has the right to the life of everything He has made.Blood eating is a heathenish practice frowned at by God and forbidden for His children. It has been discovered that those who eat or drink blood stand the risk of contracting diseases and health problems including liver damage, buildup of fluid in the lungs, low blood pressure, nervous disorders and excessive accumulation of iron in their body, according to health experts. God has His good reasons for saying we should eat the flesh of animals but not with the blood. We are to adhere to this rule so that it will be well with us.The early church elders who had report of many gentiles turning to Christ admonished the new converts to shun formication, blood eating, etc. The uniform testimony of God's word in all dispensations is that we should eat no flesh with its blood. Ignorance, whether deliberate or sincere, is never an excuse to break any law. Bible truthse are universal and apply to everyone, regardless of race, colour or creed.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Obey God's word and stay healthy.
