Fasting is about giving up something you love (e.g food, social media, TV, drink, pleasures of life etc) for a limited period of time.
➡️The reason we give up one or all of these things is so as to focus on seeking God as a priority. When we fast we are affirming that God takes precedence in our life and we are willing to deny our flesh so as to seek God first.
➡️ Fasting is not a commandment, but a requirement for every Christian. All throughout the bible, we see God commanding His people to fast, after which we see them experiencing victories in adverse circumstances. Jesus fasted too, and He is the son of God. And so should we.
➡️ When we fast, our spirit is more receptive to hear and get direction from God. We all have lawyers to look after our legal matters, doctors to look after our health, accountants to manage our finances. Yet we don’t want to let God lead our lives? We do what the professionals in our lives tell us to do, how much more do we need to do what God, the giver of life, tells us to do?
It is time to take a stand and decide that GOD will come first in your life.
Start 2021 by seeking God through prayer and fasting. Before we start the 7 days of fasting, make a firm decision to be part of this fast. Commit and stick to it, and give God first place in 2021.
Are you ready?
May God bless and keep you.
