Restoration of glory (Part 3)
Many lost their glory through food. Some people had eaten food in a place they were not suppose to eat. Some due to covetousness, they could not resist the temptation of eating some certain foods and this landed them in serious mess. Night caterer has fed some people with poison.
Dr Olukoya talked about an incident that happened sometime ago, a man who was celebrating his birthday was caught urinating on the food that would be served to people that would attend the party. This type of food is not for free, an exchange of glory has taken place.
I’ve followed someone to a food canteen and the owner has a deformed leg but people were seriously patronising her. It wasn’t long before it was discovered that she hung something in a calabash at the entrance of her restaurant. This my friend has been patronising her for a long time without seeing it, that is also how many people who had been eating there never saw it. Something will just keep people from seeing it.
I also heard about a popular food seller in the western part of Nigeria that had many customers. One day, a new customer arrived and was surprised to see the owner of the food canteen because he knew her very well. He called her by name, this canteen owner just disappeared after hearing her name. All the people eating were confused. Mr. man can you please explain the meaning of this, and then the man explained to them that that woman had died some years back in their village. Some tried to vomit their food but is that the solution?
Some cooks pour so many things into their foods to attract customers and to steal from the customers. Some of them washed their armpits into the food. Some rinse their private part into the food. Some pour the water that customers used in washing hand into the food. Some drop their pant inside the soup. Some drop ‘Tirah’ (used by Muslim cleric) inside the soup.
Some are instructed to always add a little bit of their faeces to the soup. Some, including modern eateries, say a lot of incantations on their food before selling it. Some bury a lot of things both inside and outside of their restaurant. In some canteens, you will never be satisfied no matter the amount of food you purchase.
Do you think your glory will remain the same after patronising some of these canteens? However, it’s not all that are bad. Some of them are good people.
In sum, God will restore everything that was lost through the food you have eaten in the name of Jesus.
