● 🤝🏽 *GOOD DAY BRETHREN* "Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? ~ *Isaiah 58:6* Glory Be To The Mighty God TUESDAY *1st March 2022* Today's *DIVINE GUIDE* THE POWER OF FASTING *(Part 1* ) *The Christian Weapon to overcome obstacles.* *SCRIPTURES* ...... But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. ~ *Matthew 6:16-18* *This is part 1 of 4* The Christian world will on March 2nd this year start a 40days fasting, a season which runs up to Palm Sunday. But for long, many Christians ask themselves which is the right way of fasting. In this 4 part analysis we try to get close to the answers of common questions lingering in the Christian mind. WHAT IS FASTING Fasting is a spiritual discipline that is taught in the Bible. Jesus expected His followers to fast, and He said that God Rewards fasting. Fasting, according to the Bible, means to *voluntarily reduce or eliminate your intake of food for a specific time and purpose* While there is a number of reasons for Christian fasting, the three primary categories fall under Biblical mandates, spiritual disciplines, and health benefits. Reasons for Christian fasting include nearness to God, spiritual freedom, guidance, waiting for Jesus' return and of course, a healthy body. During fasting as the body is devoid of salts, and enough food, it is likely for one to feel sleepy and tired all the time. But instead of giving in to the sleepiness, it is important to stay active. Plan when you will have times of prayer during the day of fasting. Plan readings from Scriptures, a hymnal or a book of prayer for each time of prayer. Plan specific thanksgivings and praise to God for each time of prayer. *HALLELUJAH* To Be Continued ~ *PRAYER* ~ Dear Almighty God, Thank You for the window of fasting which cleanse us into Your Presence. Lord, as I begin this time of fasting, fill me with your strength. Help me to use this as a time of Growth, Renewal, and Healing. Calm my anxiety about what I might be giving up or times of discomfort that I might face.
