On Sunday morning as I fried
plantain to eat after service, I had a deeper understanding of the will of God
concerning fasting, it was so strong and I had taken a decision to see fasting
from that angle, I knew that word was going to keep me and help me to grow
spiritually. Seconds later, it was as if someone told me – “that word was meant
for you to let go of that food and go to church just like that. In my mind I
argued, I said “God I promise to live this life immediately after today, but
you know I will be staying back for rehearsal till four or whenever the spirit
leads, and I usually can’t last that long without food.
I put up some more arguments –
sensible ones at that, but before I knew it the word had disappeared from me.
It was not just some head knowledge, it was more of a heart knowledge and so
even though I still remember a few of the words, it’s just in my head and not
in my heart right now. I’m still praying that God will restore it to me.
We all do make mistakes; we
sometimes argue with God, we do things in our Christian walk that we end up
regretting, but God is merciful and because Paul said that we do not have an
affliction that is not common to others, I ask that you share your affliction
for someone to be encouraged- breakthrough is coming.
