The truth is that any person that has the spirit of God in them will always receive that pricking in the heart that will call to your rememberance of others who might be starving while you waste your resources.
Also,the spirit of God is a spirit of discipline. If it dwell in you,you will not engage in a frivolous and wasteful lifestyle.
Scripurally,from the old testament to the new,the examples abound. From when God commanded the isrelites in the wilderness to pick manna and quail that will do for the day to avoid wastage to Christ commanding his disciples to pick up the left overs after feeding the multitude.

Wasteful life is foolishness but is not a SIN, na ur sweat.

Why God comanded Israelites is because the food came from Him not their sweat so that they will appreciate it.
If you suffer day and night and decides to waste it na ur own cup of tea.

I spent the last two weeks in my aunty's place and she and her family beliefs that there is a punishment from God to whoever waste cooked food. I dnt know how true this is because I have a frnd that also doesn't waste food simply because God will punish her.

Sometimes food just doesn't waste intentionally, you cnt force yourself to eat excess food you have to leave it as left over.

What is your say about this?

na you just posted about your big yansh before, now you posted about spiritual food and next you will post another question asking us whether it is right for you to massage your uncle's bro cos. Stop hallucinating.

Just an excuse to get fat.
If you're full, dump the rest

Better still don't take too much to eat to start with so that there won't be any reason to dump it.
@op kindly take my sweetpie advice,thanks! wink

God doesn't punish anyone for wasting cooked food. Just that you should not waste food because it not good to do so. The food you waste could have been the best meal someone never ate.

Are you sure your aunty is not my grandfather's away match product? Just kidding. I grew up with my grand parents in Benin republic. Grandpa makes you believe it is a big big big sin to throw away food hence we have so many dogs.

That has struck with me till date that it irritates my friends who have tagged me "left over eater".

Although it may not be a sin but if you actually work for that money, you will know wasting food/money is a bad thing.

o ya, iya alakara gimme akara 50 naira, bread 70 naira and 2 pure water.
After eating 4 akara, the bread remain small and i don belefu. Is it a sin if I trowey the remaining akara and bread when there is nobody to give?

To me, Wasting of food get grade, the type of wastage above can be tolerated.
Re: Is There A Spiritual Punishment For Wasting Cooked Food? by vosquare: 8:46pm On Dec 23, 2014
I don't think there's spiritual punishment in it. When I asked my mom why she hates wastage of food she said "when God sent manner from heaven to the Israelites, He said they should take what will satisfy them" which means they must not take large quantities that will waste

So it's better to take a portion of food that will be ok for you not the one that will waste

Here is my view about this.

Does food actually get wasted? I don't think so. Have u ever wondered what animals, rodents, depend one. Are they not also created by God.

My idea is don't waste food intentionally, don't make it a habit to waste food. But when there is left over food dispose it. The animals wld thank you for it.


Smile.

All it is is a moral lapse and winner takes all cat and mouse game of free enterprise and mass production. Billion of pounds worth of foods are wasted annually in a "rich" country like UK. But on the same the same uk,socalled deprived children go hungry on almost daily basis at this point in time.

If the world can share her resources fairly, nobody will go here hungry

If you believe the bible as Gods word, you may check Jn 6:12 and Lk 16:1. Try your best not to be wastefull.

Not wasting food is spiritual.If u waste food it can be likened to breaching d spiritual law of Economy
Re: Is There A Spiritual Punishment For Wasting Cooked Food? by ckmayoca: 9:44pm On Dec 23, 2014
No one waste food deliberatly.. Its either u get tired of it or lost ur appetite. Its risk giving food to every kid u come around cos u don't knw what he or she ate before and after u gave them ur food that could turn bad on them. A lot of mother don't allow their children eat from neibhours. It takes effort and money to cook so u can't deliberatly waste it if u r not tired of it or it get spoilt in the pot.

It's quite true, it might not be written down in the bible ,but if you think of those that have nothing to eat ,your conscience will tell you it's a sin.

I remember when we are young ,we do buy food stuff in bags, we cook more than required and throw the remaining in waste bin.our dad use to. Warn us but we do not listen.

Hardly do we buy in derica tin now. If you have food its an opportunity please don't spoil it because some have no food at all.
