TOPIC : ITS TIME FOR A NEW BEGINNING
AVOID FASTING WHILE LIVING IN REBELLION.
TEXT 1 PETER 3 :7-9
7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
I grew up hardly knowing my mother.
I knew her only through her pictures that my motherly elderly sisters ingrained in my mind.
Even though I had a father that dutifully made-up for the two,
It was still not easy growing up without one.
Having been pastoring for many years, I have seen some heartless fathers and mothers.
I have seen fathers with dead consciences, men whose souls died long ago who still come to church and sit in the pew.
Men who would eat in restaurants with friends, come back home and watch their little children cry because of hunger and go to sleep without food.
Some of these men even pray in tongue, not knowing that their prayers are abomination before God and their tongues incantations onto their soulless gods.
How can God answer you when you apply witchcraft on your wife. You intimidate her and afflict her and expect answers from El shadday, the compassionate multi breasted God.
Hear the Lord Himself in Matthew 5 verse 7 "Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy".
God cannot bless you under rebellion, other wise He would be the one endorsing it.
Scriptures don't contradict themselves.
As this first fasting comes to an end many may have just engaged in a long hunger strike. You can repent now and still receive the benefits of your fasting.
The Holy spirit said in 1 Samuel 15 verse 23,
" For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry."
You are not fasting if your family is needlessly suffering as a result of your wickedness.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
