The Wrong Way to Fast- Proph. Joshua Dsane

Fasting is not merely about seeking God daily and delighting to know His way that makes it profitable (vrs 2)

One wrong way to fast is to find pleasure and exact all your labours (v 3). Fasting is not the time to do the things you love and get involved in so many activities. It's a time with the Lord. In some parts of the Bible, fasting is called mourning.

Another wrong way to fast is for strife and debate and to smite (v 4). Fasting must kill the flesh and not empower it. It's not the time to quarrel, fight and argue.

Cardinal scripture : Isaiah 58:1-14 all sentences are paraphrased from this verse

#Doing the usual things and expecting results from fasting is impossible.
#Don't just take delight in approaching God, allow God to work on you

10 Tips for Choosing the Right Partner

I recently read an article in Psychology Today called "10 Tips to Help You Pick a Good Partner'' by Dr. Barton Goldsmith. What really jumped out at me was this line: "Picking the right person for the right reasons at the right time is an art form." I cannot think of a more accurate statement in one sentence that sums up dating. With the divorce rates as high as they are, it makes sense that it takes the right person, right time and right reasons to make a fulfilling and strong relationship. I love Dr. Goldsmith's tips, and as a nice complement, I wanted to write my own: Don't make choices out of fear: So many times people either choose a partner or stay with someone in an unhappy relationship predominantly out of some kind of fear. Usually that fear is being alone but fears can vary widely from person to person. It's often better to be alone and wait for the right person than to make a decision out of fear. Making decisions out of fear leads to confus...

Demand Your Blessing

The Holy Bible tags God as  all powerful  and our  provider . God has a lot of blessings in store for us especially in this year and it's very important that we come to the realization that children of God have the power to demand these blessings from God. This is because He has already said he will bless us. Demanding your blessing is just showing God that you are worthy enough for it [because of Christ Jesus]. In Ephesians 3:20 the bible says " ...for unto him who can do far more exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or think according to the  POWER THAT IS AT WORK IN US ". (That's the power we're talking about)  Now we've got to understand that the power we have is  key  in the spiritual realm and is granted by the Holy Spirit  seeActs  1:8 . Faith, Pray and Righteousness are necessary for the abundant blessings of God in our lives. In  see1  Corinthians 12:9  the Holy Bible talks about the gift of faith granted b...
