Disobedience causes one to be in captivity
With Apostle Nathaniel Mokgawa
[06 March 2023]
Blessed greetings beloved sons and daughters. I welcome you to our first day of prayer and fasting, this one will be different, you’ll come out equipped and standing in the right position God wants you to be. This is time to focus much on yourself, forget about any unnecessary noise around you.
Yesterday I received a revelation about the mystery of a tree, by understanding God's nature in a nature , however it’s unfortunate that I can’t teach that today as I wanted because this morning I received a word in my Spirit though it was harsh we still understand that God’s love it’s covering us because God rebukes those whom He loves.
Disobedience causes one to be in captivity, and such captivity cannot be removed by fasting. Some believers when they experience problems in life they think mourning in fasting will cause God to answer their prayers by solving their problems.
When you fast ignorantly your fasting becomes worthless. Obedience is better fasting, In Zechariah 7 it tells us that the people were fasting every year in the fifth months and seven months, just like we do every year in January. They did this for 70 years but God wasn’t pleased with them. God isn’t moved by your fasting but your obedient heart, these people God wasn’t pleased with them because they were not obedient to His word. He said to them that when they fasted they didn’t do it for the Lord but for themselves. Verse 7 it says “Should you not have obeyed the words which the Lord proclaimed through the former prophets when Jerusalem and cities around it were inhabited and prosperous and the south and the lowland were inhabited? But verse 11 tells us they refused to obey whatever which God has said and by that captivities came upon them.Captivity that came by disobedience cannot be removed by fasting and prayer, God just want you to abide by His word.
There are people who don’t fast but are much obedient to God’s word and God is pleased with them, fasting doesn’t cause you to be accepted in His eyes, fasting doesn’t remove ignorance and the cost if ignorance will be captivity. God doesn’t answer prayers but He answers the one who prays, it means if the one who prays is standing right with Him answers will be given. The word tells us that the prayer of a righteous man does greater things, what about the prayer of a wicked man? What about the prayers of the disobedient man? Prayers are said everyday but God doesn’t answer them but He keeps answering the righteous one, not righteous by human efforts but by grace. John 15 Jesus tells His sons that you are already clean because of the word I preached to you. It can only cleans you when you have accepted and believed in it. If you still fail to be obedient to what God is saying to you then you are the one who’s responsible for problems upon your life, don’t blame the devil, and no 5 hours of prayer can solve that, no 40 days fasting can solve that just continue to eat. Let this sink in your mind, fasting doesn’t purify the ignorant ones. God have just delivered you through this teaching. Remain blessed beloved, you are love by me and the Heavenly Father
To God Be The Glory!
