FASTING IS RELEVANT
Memorise: In weariness and painfulness, in watching
often, in hunger and thirst, in fasting often, in cold and
nakedness. 2nd Corinthians 11:27
Read: Matthew 17:14-21, Bible in one year: 2nd
Chronicles 7:11-9:28, Luke 22:14-38
When you pay the price for greater heights in your
relationship with God and in ministry, you will be moved up
to operate at a new level. When the price is paid, you will
not only see the invisible, you will also hear the inaudible.
In 1st Kings 18:41, while others were busy discussing the
miracle fire that fell suddenly from Heaven, Elijah rose up
and declared the sound of abundance of rain. Noted that no
other person saw the sign or heard the sound. You shall
hear the inaudible from today in Jesus’ Name! However, to
operate at this level, you must be given to fasting and
prayer. In 2nd Corinthians 11:27, Paul said that he fasted
and often. The moment you sign up for this level of ministry,
the struggle between your flesh and your spirit will take a
new dimension, while the flesh will be pulling you to the
fight. You need fasting in order to weaken the flesh and
strengthen your spirit.
“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth
nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are
spirit, and they are life.”
John 6:63
Using the arm of flesh at this level of ministry will definitely
meet with disappointments. You need to walk in the Spirit by
following the Holy Spirit’s directions; this empowers your
spirit-man and subdues the flesh. A while ago, one of my
sons asked me “Daddy, now that you are over 70, will you
stop fasting?” I laughed and replied, “The moment I quit
fasting, you can begin to expect my departure, because I
have resolved no to be a relic. As for as I am concerned, the
day I cease to be relevant, I go.” Elisha remained relevant
until death. Even on his deathbed, he was still dictating the
future, instructing the king on what would happen and how
he could have victory. In the Name of Jesus, you shall not
be lost in oblivion. You shall be relevant in your generation
and beyond your generation. Are you prepared to subdue
your flesh? The flesh has pegged the rise of many of child of
God. If you do not have control over your stomach or
appetite, you are not prepared for the ministry of signs and
wonders. If you are still indulging in sin, you are not yet
serious about the move of the miraculous in your life.
Consider what is outstanding in your life and strive to meet
up today!
Key Point
If you want heavenly results, feed your spirit. If you
feed your flesh, it will deliver sin to you.
