Fasting & Prayer: Foundations for Deep Worship and Lethal Spiritual Warfare. - Paperback

by Pastor Nnaemeka C. Uchegbu (Author)

FALSE AND INSINCERE WORSHIP AND THE FAILURE TO COMPLETELY TRUST GOD, HAVE PLAGUED HUMANKIND SINCE THE FALL OF THE FIRST ADAM, IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN. BUT THE LAST ADAM (JESUS), THROUGH HIS DEATH ON THE CROSS, PAID THE PENALTIES FOR HUMAN SINS. THUS, HE BROKE THE POWER OF ETERNAL DEATH AND RECONCILLED MAN WITH GOD AND MADE A WAY FOR THE CREATURE TO ENJOY INTIMATE FRIENDSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP WITH HIS CREATOR. SO, HAVING BEEN DELIVERED FROM SIN, IT IS THE DUTY OF EVERY SAVED SOUL TO SUSTAIN HIS REDEMPTION THROUGH AN UNBLEMISHED RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. GOD IS ALWAYS AT ALERT LOOKING FOR THOSE WHO WILL FULLY RELY ON HIM. AND WHAT BETTER PLACE TO FIND SUCH COMMITTED SOULS THAN ON THE ALTARS OF FASTING AND PRAYER (2 CHRONICLES 16: 9). BY HUMILITY, THE HUMAN SOUL CAN COME BEFORE THE PRESENCE OF THE LOVING GOD DURING A FAST. AND THROUGH PRAYERS, THE HUMAN SPIRIT IS ABLE TO EXPRESS ITS THANKSFULNESS TO GOD FOR ALL HIS GOODNESS. THIS IS WHY BELIEVERS NEED TO FAST AND PRAY, WITHOUT CEASING.
