11TH MARCH.
SCRIPTURE: Neh 1:4.
” And it came to pass when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept and mourned certain days, and fasted and prayed before God of heaven.”
Fasting and prayer is a spiritual exercise that has been effectively used down the ages. Where it is correctly used, great things that will affect time and eternity happen. When a believer truly humbles himself or herself in fasting and prayer before God, God moves to do mighty things. Fasting is not just a religious practice but a crucial tool in the hands of God’s children. Nehemiah fasted to receive strength, help and favour in rebuilding the broken walls of Jerusalem. Amidst the raging storms of his enemies, he was successful.
Esther fasted for three days and nights and God moved to destroy Haman and all the enemies of Jews Esther4:16.
Daniel fasted and prayed, the heaven was opened and he received great revelations from God. Daniel9:3. Our Lord Jesus Christ fasted forty days and forty nights at the Commencement of His ministry and He transformed the world Matt 4:2. Time will not permit me to name more of those who effectively sought the face of God with this weapon.
You too can do the same today and see Him turn your situation around for good.
PRAYER POINTS
Appreciate God for who He is to you.
Ask God to strengthen you and Christlike Assembly members to seek Him more with fasting and prayer. Ask Him to anoint Mama afresh to always pray through and obtain great results. We receive strength and power to fast and pray in Jesus name. Amen.
