The dangers of Deception in a Christian Life

Cultivating a prayer and fasting lifestyle.


 

A successful Christian believer is he/she whose lifestyle is cultivated in prayer and fasting. Every believer who consistently pray and fast carries much of power. The lifestyle of prayer and fasting gives you power over many things in life. 

Examples of  power that prayer and fasting give you include the following:

1.Power to overcome evil one Satan

Luk 4:8  And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

2. Power to overcome the flesh

Fasting and prayers help you to connect to the Spirit of God, therefore, the flesh becomes overcome 

3. Power for deliverance

Jesus said that some stubborn demons in our lives do not just go easily but by prayer and fasting

Mathew 17:21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

4. Power to overcome sin

 Through prayers and fasting, you will be able to overcome sin since prayer draws you near to God

5. Power to be bold in the service of God

 On some occasions in life as you serve God, you need to develop boldness in doing evangelism work, rebuking sin, expressing the act of faith, and many others.

Peter and the disciples when they were threatened they prayed for God to give them boldness

Act 4:29  And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, 

Act 4:30  By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. 

Act 4:31  And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

  How to cultivate prayer and fasting as a lifestyle

-Consistent desire to seek God. This will motivate you to pray and fast

Psalm 42:1-2

-Cling to God for grace and mercy. Do not rely on your own strength and ability

 Hebrews 4:16

-Be rooted in the word of God and live the word of God i.e do what the word of God is saying and mean it. 

    John 1:1-5

-Seek the knowledge of God through other materials like books and teachings from other men of God who have been cultivating a lifestyle of prayer and fasting.

I believe that the Lord is going to help us cultivating prayer and fasting lifestyles in our lives. May God bless you.

Prayer: Lord I pray that you may help me to cultivate a lifestyle of prayer and fasting in Jesus Name.Amen

Jesus The Savoir

  When you live a life that does not recognize Jesus Christ, you are actually having no hope for life eternal. You cannot go to the father without Jesus( Joh 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me).  Salvation is found in only one name, the name of Jesus Christ (Act 4:12  Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none another name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved). Confess Jesus Christ in your life and be born again! (Rom 10:9  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  Rom 10:10  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation).

Dealing with the spirit of the world

 Did you know that there are different spirits in the world that are not from God? The bible teaches us that we need to test every spirit and know which is from God and that which is of the world. Any spirit that denies Jesus Christ is of the world but that which accepts Jesus Christ is from God. John in his first letter tells us the two types of spirits;                          1Jn 4:1  Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.  1Jn 4:2  Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ comes in the flesh is of God:  1Jn 4:3  And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.  1Jn 4:4  Y...

Truth the way to your freedom!

  Have you realized that when you fail to practise truth there are a lot of regrets that come into your life? Many people, families, and marriages do suffer a lot and get into bondage because of the falsehood that they tend to have. These problems come in times of decision making, choice-making, and many other more actions that we undertake. The foundation you raise in your life will depend on whether it is raised in truth or falsehood. If it is based on falsehood you will have a lot of cries in your life or what we call I wish I knew I could have done so and so. People who lie to get something or some favor or considerations in life do have the worst endings in life. Truth is the way to avoid such issues in life. If you call yourself the son of the Almighty God as it is written in the book of John 1:12 (But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name). Then you must understand that Jesus Christ is the truth, He wa...
