Is God’s Universe An Eat-All-You-Can Buffet?

Is Every Blessing Really

Available To You Right Now?

I don’t usually start my articles with a Bible story. I usually insert it somewhere in the middle or at the end.

But I just looooove this story so much, please read this first…

There was a woman who had suffered terribly from severe bleeding for twelve years, even though she had been treated by many doctors. She had spent all her money, but instead of getting better she got worse all the time. (Mark 5:25-26)

Twelve years.

That’s a pretty long time.

She’s tried everything.

All human solutions have been exhausted.

Friend, you may have exhausted all human solutions too. 

Like her, you’re facing impossible problems.

You’ve tried every possible solution—and every path has led to a dead end. In fact, some of the solutions you tried made the problem worse.

You’ve tried reaching out to your kids—but your kids are still wandering away from God.

You’ve tried repairing your marriage—but your relationship is even more divided.

You’ve tried getting out of your financial hole—but everything you’ve done so far—from businesses and sidelines—has gotten you deeper in that hole.

And you’re tired. 

You’re very tired.

If this is your situation, then you need to listen to God’s powerful message for you today.

       Because this woman wasn’t only bleeding physically.

       And she was bleeding financially too. Because she spent all her money she had on doctors.

Financial Bleeding

       I met a woman exactly in this same condition. 

Last year, she said her doctors discovered cancer in her ovaries. And she went through surgery to take out the tumor, she went through 8 chemotherapy sessions, 6 radiation sessions, plus a bucketful of medicine she had to swallow everyday. She had to borrow money just to go through her treatment. But sad news was that after 6 months, her doctors said that her cancer came back, deadlier, fiercer, and angrier than ever before.

Not only was she sick, she was in debt too.

       But it was worse for this bleeding woman in the Bible…

Bleeding Relationally

Not only was she bleeding physically and financially, she also was bleeding relationally.

       Let me explain. 

According to Jewish Law, a woman who bled was ceremonially unclean.  That meant that she couldn’t enter a synagogue or church. She also couldn’t touch anyone—nor could anyone touch her—because that person will be deemed unclean too.

For 12 years, she couldn’t enter a synagogue.

For 12 years, she couldn’t even hang out with friends.

For 12 years, she couldn’t hug her kid, or hug her mother, or shake the hand of a friend, or high-five a neighbor, or stroke the hair of a child.

       And finally, she was bleeding spiritually

Desperation Is A Good Place

Her heart was filled with questions. After 12 years, why was God not healing her?

She was desperate.

But desperation is a great place to be.

Why?

Desperate people do desperate things.

Desperate people do things they’ve never done before.

It was desperation that made her push through a thick crowd of people, crawling on her hands and knees, clawing her way in, weave her way into the maze, find an opening, just to touch Jesus—and grab her blessing.

Your problem may be so big, you’re here because of desperation. Desperate people do crazy things. Like reading my Blog. And praying. And coming to the Feast (our weekly prayer meeting).

       Thank God for desperation.

       Thank God for problems.

       Thank God for trials.

Touching The Cloak

The story continues…

She had heard about Jesus, so she came in the crowd behind him, saying to herself, “If I just touch his clothes, I will get well.”  (Mark 5:27-28)

Her desperation made her do the unthinkable: She touched Jesus. That act, according to Jewish Law, should have made Jesus unclean. But the exact opposite happened. It made her clean.

But did she really touch Jesus?

No. She touched the cloak of Jesus.

But that was enough.

Here’s the big lesson: When you touch the cloak of Jesus, you’re already touching Jesus Himself.

       Today, I want you to touch the cloak of Jesus.

When you receive communion, you touch Jesus Himself.

Yes, Jesus is the Eucharistic host. But when you receive communion, you don’t see Jesus. Why? Because he’s covered by the cloak of that white, thin wafer in front of me. But that’s okay, because all you need to do is touch the cloak, and you’ll be healed.

Yes, Jesus is the Word. But when you read the Bible, you don’t hear the audible voice of God. Why? He is covered by the cloak of words printed on paper. But that’s okay, because all you need to do is touch the cloak, and you’ll be healed.

I’d like to invite you to the Feast, our weekly prayer meeting on steroids. (For more information, click here.) 

At the Feast, Jesus is there. But you won’t see Him. He is covered by the cloak of ordinary people gathering together and having fun. But that’s okay, because all you need to do is touch the cloak, and you’ll be healed.

My friend, Sr. Marisa, touched that cloak of Jesus…

Consult A Fourth Doctor

Sr. Marisa is a happy nun in her fifties.

She came to the Feast one day.

       When I greeted her, she said, “I have a scheduled operation for my thyroid next week. Can you pray for me?”

       “Sure!” I said.

After praying over her, she said, “I don’t want to have an operation. I’ve been postponing this for the longest time. Do you think I should go through with it?”

I said, “I’m not a great fan of operations too. Why don’t you postpone it for one more week and meet my health mentor?”

She did. She called up her doctor and asked for a delay. And he told her, “Sister Marisa, this is the last delay. After this, you really need an operation.”

Two weeks later, we met again, this time with my health mentor. We discussed about a change of diet and other ways of getting well.

And then the scheduled surgery was brought up.

“I think I should do it,” she said, “because my Mother Superior has been bugging me to do it. She’s says I’m just scared.”

“Have you asked for a second opinion?” I asked.

“I have. In fact, I’ve asked three different doctors and all of them recommend surgery.”

My health mentor said, “But do you feel well?”

“Yes, I don’t feel anything wrong with me,” she said. “But the doctors keep saying I need an operation.”

Wow. Three doctors. What can beat that?

 “Just pray for me,” she told both of us. “If God wants to heal me without surgery, a doctor has to tell me I don’t need it. Because that’s the only way my Mother Superior will believe.”

Two weeks later, she had an idea. 

She asked the surgeon who was to operate on her if a thyroid specialist can be part of the surgery team.

“No problem,” he said.

She called up the thyroid specialist and asked if he could join the surgical team. He said yes. She also scheduled to visit him before the surgery.

But before seeing him, she did a strange thing. On her own, she decided to undergo another thyroid exam. Without a doctor’s prescription! (How she did this is another great story too.)

She went to her thyroid specialist and showed him the results.

After looking at it, he said, “Sister Marisa, you want me to join the surgical team that will operate on your thyroid? But there’s nothing wrong with your thyroid. You don’t need an operation.”

She was stunned.

Three doctors told her she needed surgery, asap.

The fourth doctor—a thyroid specialist—told her she didn’t.

As I write this, Sister Marisa has overhauled her diet, is praying more deeply, and is happier and healthier than ever.

I love stories like this.

I no longer see any difference between supernatural and natural healing. Any kind of healing comes from faith. Because only you can open yourself to the healing power of God. 

Anything is possible to those who believe.

No doubt about it, Sr. Marisa touched the cloak of Jesus.

Her faith. Her prayers.  The recalibration she did with her emotional life. The change of diet.

Will You Grab The Power

Available To You?

 

       And finally, the last part of the story…

She touched his cloak, and her bleeding stopped at once; and she had the feeling inside herself that she was healed of her trouble.  At once Jesus knew that power had gone out of him, so he turned round in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?” His disciples answered, “You see how the people are crowding you; why do you ask who touched you?” But Jesus kept looking round to see who had done it. (Mark 5:29-32)

Here’s why this is one of my favorite stories in the Bible.

I love this story because Jesus didn’t touch her, didn’t speak to her, and—take note—didn’t even look at her. Jesus didn’t wake up that morning and say, “I’m going to heal this poor woman who’s been bleeding for 12 years.” 

Jesus didn’t even know she was there.

Jesus didn’t know who she was from Adam.

Jesus didn’t know her name, her home address, her condition, her disease, or her suffering.

And the incredible thing about the story is that even after she was healed, Jesus still didn’t know who she was. Jesus didn’t know who got healed. Jesus didn’t know who grabbed the blessing.

Which brings me to my central point: Every blessing in the universe is potentially yours.

God’s blessings, miracles, and resources are available to anyone who wants to take it.

The key phrase: Available to anyone!

It doesn’t depend on God anymore.

       It depends on whether you’ll grab the blessing or not.

       Listen to this: Even after the healing has happened, Jesus still didn’t know who was healed by His power.

       So many people think God plays favorites.

       “Bakit may palakasan si Lord?”

       People complain that God doesn’t treat people fairly.

       That He blesses some people more than others.

That’s not true.

Because He’s made every blessing in the universe potentially yours.

 

The Universe Is An

All-You-Can-Eat Buffet Table

 

       Imagine Pedro.

He’s lived his entire life in a small barrio.

And for the first time, he goes to the city.

While walking in Metro Manila, he gets hungry.

He sees this restaurant. A huge restaurant. He sees many people walking in. He goes in.

       Pedro picks a table and sits down.

After a few minutes of waiting, he doesn’t understand why no one is getting his order or giving him food. 

       In the meantime, he sees everyone else around him eating and happy, their plates filled with food.

       After almost an hour of waiting, he’s now miserable and hungry. He finally sees a waiter and asks, “Sir, when will you give me food?”

       The waiter says, “But sir, this is an Eat-All-You-Can Buffet. Customers go to the table and get what they want.”

       Pedro is shocked.  It’s the first time he’s ever been to a place such as this.  “I can just get what I want?” he asks.

       The waiter smiles, “Yes, sir.”

       So Pedro stands up and walks towards the table. He looks around at all the food and gets a bit overwhelmed. He walks towards the waiter and asks, “Can I get a small plate of pancit?

       “Yes, sir,” the waiter says, “as much as you want.”

Pedro goes and gets himself some pancit.

He goes back to the waiter and asks, “Can I get 2 chunks of adobo?”

“Yes, sir,” the waiter says, “as much as you want.”

So Pedro goes and gets adobo.

He goes back to the waiter and says, “Can I get a cup of rice?”

The waiter says, “Sir, you don’t have to ask my permission to get anything. Just go ahead and get it.”

       “I don’t have to ask permission from you?”

       “No sir,” the waiter smiles, “all the food on the table is potentially yours. All you have to do is grab it.”

       Friend, everything you need is there, available to you in God’s buffet table of blessings. 

Every Blessing On The Table Is Potentially Yours

All the wisdom you need. 

All the friends you need.

All the joy and happiness and fulfillment you need.

All the money you need. 

All the resources you need. 

All the healing you need. 

All the God-coincidences. 

All the Divine appointments. 

All the supernatural connections. 

All the opportunities for growth.

       Every blessing in the universe is potentially yours.

       Our problem is that we’re sitting with our empty plate, still waiting for the blessing. You need to stand up and grab the blessing!

Stand Up And Grab The Blessing

       For example, don’t wait for the perfect job to land on your lap. Create the perfect job. Discover your gift. Develop your skill. Hone your craft. Make yourself for valuable. Make mistakes. Double your rate of failure—so that you can double your rate of success. And grab the blessing!

       Friend, don’t wait for money to come. Create a money machine that will give you the money. 

       Don’t wait for income to flow to you. Create the income stream that will give you the income.

       And don’t wait for health to just happen to you.

       Remember that 85% of your diseases have emotional roots. And 15% come from a lack of nutrition, a lack of sleep, a lack of oxygen, a lack of sunlight, a lack of exercise.

       So work on the 85% of diseases by working on your emotions. Remove the toxic stress. Remove the unforgiveness. Remove the anger. Remove the loneliness. Remove the sadness. Remove the emptiness.

       And work on the 15% deficiency of micronutrients. Change your diet, start eating more plants and less processed food. Get enough sleep. Get enough sunlight. Get enough exercise. Get enough oxygen.

       Grab the blessing that you need.

God’s Delays Aren’t God’s Denials

       “But Bo, I’ve been praying for healing for years. It hasn’t happened yet!”

       I can never explain why some people don’t receive healing.

       Sometimes, we lack action.

Sometimes, we lack faith.

       Sometimes, it’s none of the above.

Let me go back to my buffet analogy.

       Though the buffet table is loaded with a hundred dishes, you may still not find the exact dish that you’re looking for…

       Let’s say Pedro’s favorite dish is Lapu-lapu.

       The Buffet has tuna and mackerel and salmon and tilapia and bangus… but not Lapu-lapu.

       So Pedro asks the waiter, “Do you have Lapu-lapu?”

       The waiter says, “Not right now, sir, but if you’re willing to wait, we’re cooking Lapu-Lapu in the kitchen as we speak. In the meantime, enjoy the other dishes in the Buffet.”

       Friend, God’s delays aren’t God’s denials.

       When blessings are delayed, God wants you to enjoy and appreciate all the other blessings that are in your life right now.

       But believe that right now, God is cooking the miracle that you need in His kitchen. He’s preparing it for you. He’s baking it to perfection. 

Touch Him With Faith

       In the Bible story above, hundreds of people were touching Jesus. He was in the middle of a crowd jostling, elbowing one another just to be with Jesus.

       Yet only one person received His power.

       Why?

       Other people touched Jesus with their hands.

       She touched Jesus with her hands and with her faith.

       Your faith releases God’s power.

       There could be 500 megawatts of power in a Power Plant, but without a wire—it’s no use. It can’t light a single lightbulb.

       The wire that will connect you to God’s power is faith.

       Today, I invite you touch the cloak of Jesus.

       May your dreams come true,

       Bo Sanchez

  20. Hi Bro. Bo
    Thanks for the article I receive through email. I was at PICC Feast when you delivered this topic -I’m one of the ushers so even if I heard it then, somehow I was not fully concentrated (as in 100% listening) since I have to attend to needs of the attendees. After reading the article I understand deeper the concept of the .lapu-lapu …..”the blessing is still in the kitchen waiting it to be the perfect dish according to my needs….
    Glory to God for giving you to us as our leader in LOJ. :))

  21. Thank you so much Brother Bo. Just exactly what I need to lighten up my day. It really inspires me a lot. You’re God’s blessings. Thank you for touching our lives. God bless us all!

  22. So true. Every motivational speaker have this as the gist of their talks/books. If you read Norman Vincent Peale, Robert Schuller, Joel Osteen and other prosperity preachers/motivational speakers; you will see the semblance of the idea. To maintain that faith will be the ordeal. That is why Zig Ziglar said, it should be like taking a bath. Daily. So Bro. Bo, maybe u should be more prolific and give us something like this everyday. :) you will be more happy; we will be more happy. all will be more happy.

  23. I would really love to re-blog almost all your articles and post… this is really inspiring.. you actually inspire me to create a blog site where I can not only count my blessings but share it to others to give them hope that there really are blessings and we should be thankful about it.. blessings usually comes in small packages.. ;)

  24. You have spoken directly to my bleeding heart, Bro. Bo.

    Thank you for giving me the right answers to my questions and current situation.

    I will continue to connect with you in prayer.

    God bless you and your family more! :-)

  25. I got teary eyes after i read this article, Brother Bo your message is truly amazing.. After I failed the licensure exam i felt the spiritual bleeding that you shared. But after few days i realize that God is not denying my prayers to pass the exam he is still preparing the best opportunity to gift the said prayer.. Soon after this, I work on my masters degree and finish it. Luckily i able to graduate together with my fiance right now with her MBA.. After 4 months without enrolling my self to a review center i still able to manage to pass because it is the faith with action and like you’ve said just stand up and with confidence face all the problems because God will always be there to guide you to the right path..

  26. Thanks Bro. Bo for this article. All your articles have helped me a lot in every aspect of my life. You are truly giving us valuable lessons to live by. Thank you for the goodness, inspiration and most esp. thank you for sharing to us.

    God Bless & More Power! =D

  27. hello!!

    very inspiring.. thank you!

    anyway, what happened to the weekly feast featured at channel 5 every sunday at 6am?

  28. nice article…. very inspiring…. God bless us all…..

  29. Bro. Bo thank you once again for your wonderful and enlightening article. It made me realize why I am at my present situation in life….with God’s grace soon I I know my life will be better.

  30. This article is, as usual, very inspiring. I only have to comment on the use of the word “desperation” since despair is considered a sin by the church. While some of us do the right thing when we’re desperate, there are plenty of people who fall into the wrong situations all because of desperation. I believe it is the exact opposite of faith.

    It’s good if when you become desperate you lean on to God but not all people do that. Instead they rely on other people, mere humans, who are also prone to mistakes and bad judgments.

    I do agree that we need to be more active in our lives especially in pursuing our happiness. And while we have “seemingly desperate” moments, we should never lose hope and give in to despair.

  31. A great article …… It really proves that God is good all the time and all the time God is Good.

    God bless always (”,)

  32. Thanks Bro. Bo. Today and forever will declare that God will bless me and my family.. Believe Him!

  33. Bro. Bo,
    This is one of the best ; I really like it when you interpret and discussed specific Bible passages. Indeed, you have made it so easy for us to grasp the message.
    Thanks and more power to you.

  34. Bro Bo,

    You made me realize how abundant life is.. Only if I know how to stand, get and grab the blessings around..

    Thanks for this very inspiring article.

  35. Hi Bo,

    This is another brilliant article! I really thank God for you and your articles. I read your articles regularly. I would say that God is really using you to bring His message to me because each time I ask Him to speak to me loud and clear, I always hear Him speak through your writings. I pray that God will continue to bless you and that through you many people will become close to Him and be blessed. Thanks Bo.

  36. I feel spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically resurrected. Thanks Bro. Bo for your never ending kindness of sharing every bit of God’s love through your blogs.

Thanks very much for this article. Finances is still a tough luck for me. i wish it was easy for me as it is for you. I guess I just don’t grab . I hope I wake up tomorrow and refreshed from this articles coz I am reading this tonight and tomorrow, I will just practice just grabbing blessings from the buffet table. I have long been short of financial blessings and rewards because for me it is always applying for a job and never venture into business because I have no money. I sure do hope it wouldn’t put much trouble to me as I am already a grown up and mature enough to be on my own in this world. Thanks again and hope to learn much from this article.

  70. I strongly believe in God’s Delays are Never God’s Denials…I had an insane wish that I prayed for years started probably 15 years ago I thought it was a selfish wish so in the past couple of years I stopped asking God for it…and lo and behold it suddenly happens. I am still in awe right now but I am so thankful for the blessings He has given my family more than a decade of waiting and it came when we least expected it. Have faith everyone!

  71. Thank you, Bo! This article inspired me a lot. I shall not forget this day! :)

  72. Thank you Bro. Bo for this very timely article. I almost gave up on my dreams because of desparation. This is a very refreshing, motivating, encouraging, reinforcing article. Thank you again and may God continue blessing you and your family!

    “Stand up and grab the blessing!”

  73. Thanks Bo for the inspiring article. I will forward this to my niece whose daughter at a young age just find out she d lupus..God created everything, and it’s up to us to grab the opportunity to create our own destiny.

  76. God knows what we ask for even before we ask for it. ” There’s not a hair that falls from our heads , no sparrow that falls from the sky that He is not aware of… ” ” He calls each one of us by name… ” ” He knew us even before we were born ; even inside our mother’s wombs… ”
    What profound joy the woman with hemorrhage felt after Jesus has healed her ; what great Faith she had that was awesomely rewarded with God’s Presence ; with His Love , as she responded to His call when He said, ” Who touched Me ? ”
    Thanks Bro. Bo and family !
    BE HAPPY ALL !!!

  87. Bro Bo,

    Happy Tuesday to you!!!

    I agree that God’s delays aren’t God’s denials. God perfectly know when to grant our prayers, He knows the greatest timing. I myself could attest that not everything you want in a certain day could be yours the same day. It requires us to wait and appreciate the bountiful blessings that we might overlook because we focuses on the certain prayer we are waiting to be granted.

    Thank you for being a blessing.

  88. Bro. Bo FTW! :D This blog is so very awesome. God bless you.

  89. Yes Brother Bo, God’s delays are not God’s denials! We often look forward, but we always forget to look what is already in front of us. Thank you Sir for being such a blessing to your readers.

    For the past three months I was desperate, didn’t know what is the right thing to do to make things back to normal and yet I haven’t done anything. I just sit and think; all that I did was thinking and wasting my time. I’m just like Pedro, didn’t know that all the blessings is in front of me and all I have to do is to stand up and make a move to grab it.

    Thank you brother Bo.

    i have change my life style,change in diet,forgiven all people who have hurt me and a lot more of the things you are teaching us to do.
    i am just wondering why in time that i am in my best of health i woud suddenly get sick.
    can you please share with me your health mentor so i could go to his/her office?
    thank you so much for your help

  131. Dear Bo,

    This is just so timely for me. Recently, I received a new joboffer with all the benefits that I really want. I got so overwhelmed with how just great it is. I’m a little scared too of how I might handle this outpouring from heaven. Thank you for reminding me again that God’s blessing is always available for those who open themselves to it. God has faith in my skills and talents and I will try my best to give all the faith that I have back to Him.

    God Bless you always Bo and your family. Thanks for all the inspiration!

  135. Thank You Bo, for this wonderful article. Just came from my an eye surgery and I was feeling fearful, yet this article gives us hope regarding our trials, to hold on …

  136. Hi Bro. Bo,
    Reading this is very timely for me since I have been diagnosed with a cyst in my left ovary since 2008 and some gallstones. The 5cm cyst has been aching and my ob gyne has advise surgery. I’ve been postponing it due to financial constraints and I’ve been constantly praying for healing. I quit my job because of the pain and I’m at the end of my rope coz I want to have the surgery but have no means and I need a job badly again. After reading this, I knew straight away that GOD is sending me a message…to keep believing in His healing and my sister has been inviting me to the Feast at Ortigas for a long time now and I have been declining the invite. I now know why GOD allowed me to read this and why my sister has been inviting me. Thank you for continuing to share with us and for posting this. It has given me more hope…I will heed HIS call. I am grateful that I subscribed to your blog and been following your programs as well.

  137. wow!amazing again!

  138. thanks AGAIN bo. you have helped me a lot. trite as it sounds you have no idea how much your work has largely helped me grow spiritually.

  139. Hello Bro. Bo,

    I always read your articles, and I do believe that true healing can only be done Spiritually, aside from medical treatment. I hope you can have a time to visit this blog - myersmike.wordpress.com , because I want to share with your followers the experience we’ve had with Energy healing. Please, spare a few minutes in reading this article too. thank you very much.

  140. Hi Bro Bo,

    I love to read all your articles.. I’m really inspired by the stories and this made me realize how God works in our life..He’s a Faithfull God talaga!

    thanks and God bless you and your family!

  141. The article is great but I have one comment. If you read the whole bible chapter about the sick woman, You will find out that Jesus afterward saw who was the sick woman (reference Mark 5, Matthew 9 and Luke 8). God is all knowing and he knows everybody’s heart.

    20Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. 21She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”

    22Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that moment.

  142. this is very inspiring!

  143. Thanks, its really inspiring!!
    I love it!
    Helps me a lot, esp now… =)

  144. Christians Faith prohibit us to consume any marking with “Halal”
    What is Halal ? ( حلال, ḥalāl, halaal )
    In Islam, beside prayer and other religious activities, eating is respected as a matter of worship of Allah.
    In Arabic, Halal (also sometimes spelled halaal) is a Quranic word meaning anything that is ‘lawful, legal, licit, legitimate, permissible, allowable, permitted, allowed, admissible, authorised, unprohibited, unforbidden or unproscribed or acceptable to all aspects of daily life and betterment of social context.
    For a food or drink product to be approved for consumption it must conform to the Islamic dietary laws as specified in the Qur’an, the Hadith (sayings) of the Prophet Muhammad, his Sunnah (tradition) and in the Fiqh (understanding) of the Islamic Jurists : Hanafi, Shafi’, Maliki and Hambali

    • Classical hadith specialist Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani says that the intended meaning of hadith in religious tradition is something attributed to Muhammad, as opposed to the Qur’an.[5
    • In Shi’a Islam, the word “Sunnah” means the deeds, sayings and approvals of Muhammad and the twelve Imams who Shi’a Muslims believe were chosen by Muhammad to lead the Ummah—the world Muslim community.
    • Fiqh deals with the observance of rituals, morals and social legislation in Islam. This includes how to perform the ritual purification (Arabic: wudu) before the obligatory daily prayers (Arabic: salat).
    • The Hanafi (Arabic الحنفي) school is one of the four Madhhab (schools of law) in jurisprudence
    Muslim of sound mind who understands fully the fundamentals and conditions relating to Halal and be approved by the religious authorities.
    Islam prohibits the meat of animals that are slaughtered without reciting the name of Allah and those that are slaughtered whilst pronouncing a name other than Allah. Mentioning the name of Allah during slaughter is actually a way of seeking permission from God for taking the life of the animal for the sole purpose of sustenance. The prohibition to recite a name other than Allah during slaughter acts as a safeguard to a Muslim’s faith. Islam is a religion which promotes monotheism and rejects any form of polytheism. Mentioning a name other than Allah is regarded as a polytheistic act, thus such act is not permissible during slaughter.

    Marketing Slogan for entrepreneur to be affiliate to Halal tradition.
    “Remember, Halal can be eaten by non Muslims, however Muslims will only eat Halal Only.”
    “Be HALALPRENEUR Eat HALALICIOUS”
    Remarks:
    “That halal can be eaten by non muslims, however muslim will only eat halal only.”
    • The first part maybe true but not absolute truth..
    • Why do i say the first part of the sentence is not a absolute truth. I am a Christians, believe in the bible of what it have to say about food that have been offered to other god other than God the Father who send his only son Jesus to save the world.
    • The Bible doesn’t allow food to eaten by the Christians that have been offered to other god, prayed for, give thanks for or any form of ritual as a sign of worship and offering to other god.
    • Christian will have sinned before God the Father almighty creator of Heaven and earth. Especially if the Christian know that this food have been offered to, or any rituals of worship for other god.
    We are not condoning the business of having the halal marking. But it is my Christian duty to make it known of the consequences of the accepting and consuming of such food with marking of halal for the Christians.
    It is not the intention of this letter to make a comparison of Faith or religion. This letter serve only to Christian so they may know the facts before them.
