“THE POWER OF FASTING” – PASTOR W.F UIMUYI
KEY VERSE: “Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward” (Matthew 6:16).
TEXT: Matthew 6:16-18 (KJV)
16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
Fasting accomplishes two things in the life of the believer. First, it brings spiritual upliftment. Second, it has a number of known, physical health benefits. It supports hormone and genes, which in turn influences metabolism, weight loss, blood sugar management, heart health, and disease prevention, among others. However, the spiritual benefits and importance far exceed other benefits, provided it is rightly observed.
Jesus Christ taught the acceptable pattern and practice of fasting. He warned that the exercise must be a wholly spiritual undertaking aimed at honouring God and not man. There must not be hypocritically mournful appearance to attract superficial respect from neighbours. While fasting, we must not direct our piety and sobriety in abstinence to the world but to the Lord. Jesus said that to avoid these snares, “anoint thine head, and wash thy face.”
Although the Bible recommends fasting for believers to deal with grave challenges of life and for nations to seek heaven’s intervention during crises, sin is not resolved by fasting. Fasting without a true spiritual experience amounts to mere abstinence from food and water without any form of spiritual power or benefit.
So, when we fast, as followers of Christ, we are assured of prompt answers to our requests. Heaven is waiting for us to deploy the power to pray and fast for the redemption of sinners and backsliders. The Lord expects us to cultivate the virtue of self-denial and total dependence on Him, as we fast and pray for our needs and those of others, especially those held down in bondage, sickness, disease and other activities of the devil.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Access to God’s unlimited power comes through fasting.
