A reminder for
today
And the publican,
standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be
merciful to me a sinner. (Luke 18:13)
The last two days I shared info on fasting with you and yes,
I am about to challenge you on it. You see we started this year with the
promise of something new. But more importantly is our need and desire to get
closer to God and see His works. When we fast, we make a commitment and God is
all for commitments. From this Sunday the 21st of January we are
going into a 21 day fast. Now I can’t do the full fast, because I want to
compete in April, but I am going to take out something that I have trouble to resist
from my diet. This will be my fast and my commitment. Now, there must be a
reason we fast.
Now I want to fast for a fully devoted life to the Lord. I want
to see change into my heart as well as the hearts of people all around me as I fast
for change in our country. What more can we do as to pray for the upliftment of
our people and the end of corruption and race boundaries. Everyone should be
equal and treated equally and people should not fear but live in a safe
environment. These are factors that are close to my heart and that I not only
desire for each South African but to all people of the world. I believe with
God all things are possible.
I just want to give you a little encouragement. You see I pray
for rain all the time and I watch the weather forecast to see when we can expect
rain. This week the weather forecast showed no chance for rain and as Tuesday
came to an end the clouds started to gather and I asked the Lord for Elijah
rain. This means small cloud lots of rain and that night we had an awesome thunder
shower. The thunder was so loud it shook the windows as lighting cracked over
the sky above. This is our God confirming that He hears our prayers and that we
should not stop to pray.
Therefore, going into a 21 day fast is just the beginning of
great things to come.
Lord, you are so amazing, and we are so grateful for the
rain you blessed us with. Be with us as we commit to you and continue our
battle on our knees. Make us prayer warriors and let us take this world and
turn it into your kingdom where you are worshipped by all. in Jesus name.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
