The AFM Maranatha Assembly/JCL Assembly 7day fasting has kicked off. It's all happening at Maranatha Assembly, Lusikisiki/Jambeni, Section A, between Toli High School and Nyosana JSS. DayOne already almost done. Ps Mqhathu sharing about "what is fasting?" and why are we here.
Firstly this fasting is not for a certain church, it's for all of God's people. There are ideas of people ad then there's a word of God. It's important to differentiate between the two. The only way you can do that is by being a desciple of Christ. Be ready to learn a lot and not be a know-it-all, in Christ. This fasting is not an act or ritual, it's coming before God to learn about him more. It's not about doing it, it's about WHY you're doing it. If you want to know God, you have to be the kind of saint that follows three pillars: Prayer, Fasting and Giving.
Isaiah 58: 3
There are times when even after you pray, you expirience the hardest times and that might cause the saints to complain to God. The fact is, we don't fast and pray to manipulate God. We don't pray to twist God's hands. Your hard times post-fasting don't mean God didn't see and hear you. It's not a bad thing to ask God for things becaue he, himself told us to ask, seek and knock. Surely, by fasting, YOU WILL receive from God. It is careless to go through a fasting not knowing WHY you're doing it. The fasting period is supposed to even change your character. You need to focus, you cannot go into fasting and come out of it still the same.
