PIGS EAT EVERYTHING (plate with leftovers) You are what you eat; you are what you put into yourself 90% of diseases known to man are caused by cheap foodstuff. Pigs food is expensive Bad habits, depression, discouragement, bad thoughts are result of what you’re putting into yourself Good health comes from good eating. Faith comes from hearing the word

PIGS TRAMPLE OVER TREASURE (Mt.7:6; 13:44) (babrie) Girls are like the treasure – woman are priceless, woman that fears God shall be praised They suppose to be hidden treasure – woman should cover themselves, dress to cover not to reveal Treasure has dirt – woman have issues Man was looking for the treasure – man can’t be passive Man found it and hid it – you can’t take it with you Sells and buys that field – it will cost you, you can’t have her till you can commit to her If you trample on the girl you’re a pig

PIGS ARE IMMATURE (intelligence of 3 year child) Water can’t rise above its level so are we cannot rise above the level of our maturity Maturity is not age, appearance, achievement, nor academics Maturity is attitude and character. Talent you will get you up but maturity will keep you there You will not arise above the limitations of your maturity Male – Boy – Man – Husband – Father; they toys they play and the food they eat You’re not man if you’re male You can’t be a good husband if you were bad man You’re male by birth but man by choice Don’t being big boy grow your manhood. That’s why fathers leave because they are not man but boys God said “Let us make man in our image”. Man shall leave his father. Jesus is Son of Man. Man after God’s heart
