(5-Year Anniv.🌻🙌🏻)
_*Prayer and Fasting can be likened to Learning. Learning can take place anywhere&anytime but sometimes to be able to have a full&effective grasp, it is important to get into a quiet,serene place and soak it well.*_
*We can pray anywhere&at anytime but sometimes it is needed to withdraw to a secluded place,wait&gain more from God. This is where Fasting comes in to effectively help us in our wait.It takes us from the surface to the deeper things of God. *Whoever the christian you are,You Need this!*
*In a time where the pursuit of money, wealth,fame, success, even to make ends meet is a big challenge...The last thing to think about is Fasting?...We know it is there... It is good...but hardly does it come to mind let alone...*
*And in all fairness, you look at your current predicament&the unending sequels to it, Prayer even becomes difficult let alone consider Fasting.*
*However, Fasting&its prayer is one of the keys that hold us as Christians in this passing World*
Sure this special Fasting Scripture from Isaiah 58 will help even as you meditate on them:
*Isaiah 58:3-7-_*
_3‘Why have we fasted,’ they say, ‘and you have not seen it? Why have we humbled ourselves, and you have not noticed?’ “Yet on the day of your fasting, you do as you please and exploit all your workers._
_4 Your fasting ends in quarreling and strife, and in striking each other with wicked fists. You cannot fast as you do today and expect your voice to be heard on high._
_5 Is this the kind of fast I have chosen, only a day for people to humble themselves? Is it only for bowing one’s head like a reed and for lying in sackcloth and ashes? Is that what you call a fast, a day acceptable to the LORD?_
_6 “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?_
_7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?_
*SO I SAY:*
*MAKE IT A HABIT...MAKE IT A LIFESTYLE...ONCE A WEEK IS ALL YOU NEED TO START...Fasting & its Prayer..MEDITATE!*
