THE POWER OF FASTING AND PRAYER 1.


 In weariness and painfulness, in watching often, in hunger and thirst, in fasting often, in cold and nakedness. 2 Corinthians 11:27

The need for fasting and prayer in our Christian walk as believers cannot be overemphasized. Fasting is indispensable. Ever believer who desires spiritual growth, access to great dimensions of God's glory and power must be committed to consistent lifestyle of fasting and prayer.

The spiritual above 2 Corinthians, reveals a powerful secret of Apostle Paul.  The secret of the success and exploit of a man can be traceable to what he does often and not occasionally. 

Here, Apostle Paul makes us understand that he gave himself to fasting often. This undoubtedly show us what we must also dedicate ourselves to especially at this time of the year.

1 Corinthians 11:1 says: Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ. As we imitate Apostle Paul and follow suit, we will begin to experience the supernatural exploits in our time and day as seen in bible days.

We live in a generation where many desire greatness and just wish to accomplish what the Apostles of old accomplished but not willing to pay the price they paid. Beloved, greatness and success in life is not cheap and doesn't come easy. But it is obtainable and possible to those who are willing to do whatever it demands to get it. Don't just wish for it, pursue it and you will get a hold of it in Jesus name.

Isaiah 40:31  But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Four things happen to you as you wait upon the LORD through fasting:

1. Your strength is renewed

2. You become high flyer

3. You enjoy supernatural strength and vitality. 

1 Thessalonians 5:16  Be joyful always;

PRAY WITH ME:

1. OH LORD, AS I TARRY IN YOUR PRESENCE THROUGH FASTING AND PRAYERS, SHOW ME YOUR GLORY THIS YEAR AND MAKE ME A LIVING TESTIMONY IN JESUS NAME.

2. I DRAW STRENGTH FOR THE RACE THROUGH  PRAYER  THIS WEEK IN JESUS NAME.

3. I COME AGAINST EVERY ATTACK OF THE ENEMY TO STOP MY COMMITTMENT TO GOD THROUGH PRAYER IN JESUS NAME. AMEN.

THE POWER OF FASTING AND PRAYER 2 DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE!

 "But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting". You may not know what the future holds and that is the more reason why you should hold unto the one who holds the future. God knows what lies ahead of us this year and as we connect with him through prayer and fasting he empowers us to overcome, prevail and win over every battle, challenges and attacks of the enemy that may come our way. From the Scripture above tells us about the response of Jesus to his disciples when they were faced with an impossible situation that has to do with a man whose son was sick. The disciples tried all they could but their efforts to heal the young man was not fruitful. When Jesus showed up, the seemingly impossible situation became possible. Jesus was able to heal the man's son. So the disciples were amazed and they asked Jesus why they couldn't do it.  I declare: May Jesus shows up in your marriage, shows up in your finances, family in the name of Jesus. Where your strength...

KEEP YOUR TONGUE AWAY FROM EVIL

As the Scripture says, “If you want to enjoy life and wish to see good times, you must keep your tongue from speaking evil and stop telling lies.  -1 Peter 3:10 (GNT) A lot of people desire not only to have a successful life, but also to enjoy life, but the reality is this; only few adhere to the principles that would eventually lead to having an enjoyable and productive life. From our scriptural text, we understand that one of the keys that guarantee access to an enjoyable life is to keep our tongue from speaking evil and to stay away from lies. Your life moves in the direction of your words. If you don’t like where your life is headed, then it is time to examine what has been coming out of your mouth. Any man that cannot have control over his tongue, cannot have control over his life as well. Proverbs 6:2 NIV says, “you have been trapped by what you said, ensnared by the words of your mouth". A lot of people have been trapped by the words they said. The struggle and ...

FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT

Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses (I Timothy 6:12). In the journey of life, battles are not optional but mandatory. Even at birth, a child must be made to cry. At that point, he fights to overcome the force that wants to keep his lungs closed; so as to  live. Henceforth, various battles begin.  When one becomes born again, the dynamics of the fight changes. He will still fight but this time around it is a good fight. The bible calls it the “Good Fight of Faith”. The fight is a good fight; the weaponry is also a unique one, FAITH. So a believer fights the good fight of faith, this fight is  termed a good fight because the end is determined from the beginning. Victory is guaranteed at the end. It is a fight to be won. Halleluyah! It is like watching a replayed boxing match whose winner you already know. The same way, God is not bothered about what fight ...
