Bread of Life

In Scripture, the storehouse was inseparably connected to the threshing floor.  Grain was never stored before it was processed.  The threshing floor was the place of labour and separation—where wheat was distinguished from chaff.  In the Kingdom, provision is never passive.  God’s storehouse is established where truth is separated from mixture and where spiritual labour produces pure bread.

Christ is our ultimate storehouse.  He was born in Bethlehem—the House of Bread—and declared Himself to be “the bread of life” (John 6:35).  He is the true manna that came down from heaven, sustaining life beyond the natural realm (John 6:51).  On the road to Emmaus, Jesus revealed Himself through the Scriptures, yet He was recognised in the breaking of bread (Luke 24:30–32).  Revelation and nourishment work together.  The breaking of bread speaks of interpretation, impartation, and rightly divided truth.  Where bread is broken correctly, Christ is revealed.

Spiritual fathers are living storehouses entrusted with bread for the household of God.  Peter’s love for Jesus was proven by the way He fed the lambs (John 21:15-17).  Father means nourisher.  True fathers labour in the Word, removing leaven, separating truth from error, and providing nourishment for a generation living in a sick and confused world.  Where there is no storehouse (father), “the young children ask for bread, but no one breaks it for them” (Lam 4:4).  

Healing and restoration are connected to bread.  Jesus called healing the “children’s bread” (Matt 15:26), and Scripture declares, “He sent His word and healed them”       (Ps 107:20).  When true bread is present, life flows.  

Joseph stands as a clear pattern of a father-storehouse.  Pharaoh called him “a father” (Genesis 45:8), and during famine the people who cried for bread were told, “Go to Joseph; whatever he says to you, do” (Gen 41:55).  Access to bread required obedience to the father’s instruction.

Jesus taught us to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread” (Matt 6:11).  In a world growing increasingly sick in body, mind, and spirit, God is restoring the true storehouse—fathers who provide bread that sustains life, restores health, and preserves generations.   Man shall not live on natural bread alone but every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God (Matt 4:4).  “Your father is the mouthpiece of God (Mal 2:7, 1 Pet 4:11).   The Word that proceeds is the living Word of God – what God is saying to His people now.  The manna for today.  

If there is a father, let there be food in the house!

Matthew 4:4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”
