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!

Point
If
you want heavenly results, feed your spirit. If you feed your flesh, it will
deliver sin to you.
