LASTING BY FASTING
By DIGC 11 December 2019
Your longevity is
connected to your spirituality; to fast is to last
SCRIPTURE: But they
that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with
wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not
faint. Isaiah 40:31
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Your longevity is connected to your spirituality; to fast is to last
Fasting is abstinence
from food or a thing; it is a highly spiritual activity that produces lasting
impact. You cannot be spiritual without a vibrant lifestyle of fasting. Your
spiritual life cannot survive without fasting (Mark 9:29). This implies that
your natural life would be helpless without fasting too. The meaning is, if you
must last on earth, you should have a fasting schedule. Your longevity is
connected to spirituality; to fast is to last.
When Esther, Mordecai
and the entire Jewish people were faced with the threat of extermination in the
Persian Empire, it was through fasting that God intervened and saved them
(Esther 4:16).
Please understand:
Your preservation is linked with your dedication in fasting. To have a lasting
result, you must have a fasting schedule; anyone who cannot fast, cannot last.
The lack of fasting is a reason for the abortion of great destinies. There are
things you can never access or achieve without fasting (Mark 9:29).
The truth is those who
feast while others fast may fall while others fly. And those who are feasting
and playing while others are fasting and praying cannot have their impacts
stand the test of time.
Beloved, whatever
fights your ability to fast, fights your life and destiny. So, fight it
brutally if you must make a lasting impact on earth.
REMEMBER THIS: Your
longevity is connected to your spirituality; to fast is to last.
ASSIGNMENT (S):
1. Consciously resist
every resistance to your fasting life.
2. Determine to engage
yourself in a periodic fast- it could be once a week or twice a week depending
on your ability.
PRAYER: Lord, I take
authority over any unbridled desire and craving for food. I make demands on the
power to subdue my appetite. I receive the grace to last in result, impact and
on the earth Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
