TOPIC: COMMITMENT TO PRAYER AND FASTING (PART 1) 

TEXT: MARK 9:29 And He said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

KEY VERSE: Pray without ceasing. 
1 THESSALONIANS 5:17 

Prayer and fasting of righteous Christians are powerful weapons that level down spiritual mountains, impossible become possible. Prayerlessness is like spiritual suicide. Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak Matthew 26:41 

Certainly, a prayerful Christian is a powerful Christian. Prayer helps to sustains a holy and righteous life, without prayer, there is no holy life. The prayer and fasting assignment of one hour thirty minutes daily for leaders and one hour for members is the minimum benchmark. The minimum for fasting is twice monthly.

The more you pray, the more you become a terror to the devil, the accuser of the brethren. The prayer assignment includes personal quiet time, family devotion, night vigils, prayers in units, chapters, states and nations of HOREMOW. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; Ephesians 6:18.

However, there are some stubborn spirits and situations that required fasting with prayer, for such mountain to be moved. Queen Esther and Jews in the land of Shushan were victorious as a result of their three days prayers and fasting. The people of Nineveh escaped the fierce judgement of God by observing prayers and fasting. 

Jesus Christ the Bishop of our souls, fasted for forty days before commencement of His earthly ministry. Accurate record of daily prayers and fasting is essential to avoid lies and over estimation which is sin. 

Without prayer in the life of a Christian, there can be no holiness of life. Obedience to the divine assignment helps our making it to heaven. If you are faithful in doing this divine assignment your spiritual life must be transformed. 

In fact, many pray and fast above the stated minimum. There are some spiritual mountains that can only be removed by praying and fasting. However, it must be done in holiness and righteousness, void of pride.

Thought for the day: A prayerful Christian is a powerful Christian 

Song for the day: Pray until something happens 

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 1-3

KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
