Lesson 2: Manual to Life

(Read Genesis 1:26-30) ( Read Daniel 1) (Read Leviticus 11)

When you buy a gadget, e.g. a phone, you receive a manual. That manual has instructions to what the phone needs for it to function. Every gadget on Earth has a manual of how it works. If the manual is followed you will not face problems with the gadget. What about Humans, where is our manual?

The Bible is literally a manual to human life. When God made us in his own image ( Genesis 1:26) God showed man what they need in order to function. First God made us in his image& then commanded us to take care of Earth (Gen 1: 26) & we shall be judged of this (Rev 11:18). Secondly our duty as male& female is to marry& have families in the image of God (Gen 1:28). Third God gave us what we should eat. (Gen 1:29)


Our lesson today is on the issue of food based on this verse. (Gen 1:29).


The issue of food is among the most spoken themes in the Bible. For example, men falls into sin because of food (Gen 3:6-7) , Abel kills his brother because of the type of food presented to God (Gen 3-8) , Isaac steals His brother's blessing through food (Gen 27).

When God made us He gave us what to eat. God instructed Humans to live on vegetable& fruit (Gen 1:29).
In Daniel chapter 1 we see the advantage of God's diet. Daniel& His three friends choose to live on vegetables for ten days. After ten days Daniel& His three friends grew in knowledge& strength ten times more that those who chose to live by eating King Nebuchadnezzar's delicacies. In our world today many people have rejected our maker's diet therefore we suffer with disease& disabilities. Think about all the diseases we get today. How do these diseases even start? And Where do they even come from? My friends! Its all because of what we eat!

When we were created there was not meet eating, meat eating began after the flood during Noah's time. Because all Trees and vegetation on earth had died under the flood God allowed meet eating. However God instructed which animals where to be ingested& which were not to be eaten. The Chapter Leviticus 11 is God's first and last instruction on what meat we should& should not eat.

Think of our bodies as a car, you can put water, orange juice, but the car wont work until you put the right fuel.. The more you try to put the wrong liquid into the car, the more you damage it. Many times we don't reach our optimum goals simply because we have ignored what the maker has given us for food.
