RHAPSODY OF REALITIES, DAILY DEVOTIONAL, THURSDAY 5TH FEBRUARY 2026. PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME
TOPIC โจ ITโS ABOUT FELLOWSHIP โจ
But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; 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 (Matthew 6:17-18).
When we fast, itโs not because we want God to do something or give us something. He already did all He ever needed to do for us in Christ Jesus and has given us all things in Him. For example, 1 Corinthians 3:21-22 says, โTherefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; โWhether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours.โ
Things present, and even things in the future, have all been granted you in Christ Jesus. Every promise concerning you has been fulfilled in Him. With this understanding, live without any consciousness of lack. Thereโs nothing you need that God hasnโt already provided. 2 Peter 1:3 says, โAccording as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godlinessโฆ.โ
Therefore, for the mature Christian, fasting isnโt a tool for obtaining answers from God or seeking blessings from Him. Rather, itโs a sacred period where you withdraw from food and distractions to focus on the Lord in worship, praise, thanksgiving and fellowship. Itโs about fellowship. At such times, we can also engage deeper in spiritual warfare and topple forces that destroy menโs lives.
Maturity in Christ brings you to this higher understanding. We pray because of our relationship with our heavenly Father, and prayer is the communion that deepens and sustains our fellowship with Him. So, donโt fast and pray to get whatโs already yours. Youโre an heir of God and a joint heir with Christ. Youโre the seed of Abraham. The world belongs to you. You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Hallelujah! Therefore, pray in your love for the Master and, with fasting when required, engage the forces of darkness to deliver men from their thraldoms.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for granting me all things in Christ. I live with the consciousness that Iโm a possessor of divine treasures. My prayers and fasting are expressions of love and communion with you as I walk in the reality of my divine heritage, in oneness with the Spirit, in Jesusโ Name. Amen.
