Good
afternoon and welcome to the second segment of today's edition of Sunday
Special with the Celebrity Businessman. On this segment, I am looking into
fasting and how it works.
Several
years ago, when I was relatively new in Lagos, I faced life challenges that
precipitated seeking solutions from the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministry
(MFM), a ministry of Professor Daniel Kolawole Olukoya.
The international
headquarters of the church is domiciled in Onike, Yaba. So, it was very easy
for me to access, since I was living in Yaba at that point in time. After
attending their programs and listening to the preaching of the general overseer
and the testimonies shared by members after deliverance sessions, I decided
that it was time for me to get my own miracle via deliverance.
I
joined the next group of people to be delivered. It was a five-day hot and violent
deliverance session with a three-day dry fasting. No food, no water for three
complete days. I never knew that I could do such a thing. I endured it owning
to the fact that my mind was on the big picture which was coming out of my
problems. It was just God that saved me from suffering from ulcer.
I don't
know about now, but then, the church had a team of pastors whose work was only
in the deliverance ministry. Then, I was a spiritual neophyte. I couldn't
differentiate my left from my right, spiritually.
After
about two months of supposedly being delivered, the same problems still
persisted. I went back to the head of the deliverance ministry to make
complaints. He told me to wait and have faith that everything will be okay
soon, adding that if I couldn't wait, I should repeat the deliverance. Me? Do a
three-day dry fasting again when I wasn't sure if it would work? Sheeegeee
baaaannnnnzzzzaaaa!!! Chukwu aju. I continued attending the church program
until I got tired. I had no other option, but to leave.
That's
the longest fasting and prayer session I had and it didn't work. It nearly
orchestrated stomach ulcer. If I had known what I know now, I wouldn't have
tried that nonsensical thing. You must not kill yourself before God hears your
prayers. Spiritual training has made me to understand that it is not how long
you fast. Rather, it is how you use the fasting. Daily fasting from 6:00am -
12:00pm for 3, 7, or 21 days, if perfectly utilized, can be more effective that
dry fasting for days.
Why is fasting
necessary? Fasting is necessary because it helps the person doing to to build
and develop will power. In the article I wrote in the first segment today, I
can regurgitate mentioning that the subconscious mind, which is the spiritual
mind, warehouses memory, will power, imagination and mediation. You develop
will-power by saying no to the surge to eat food or drink water. You develop it
by saying no to what your conscious mind is telling you to do.
By and
large you are controlling your whole self, especially your mind, and the
spirits within you. When you master the total control of yourself and the
spirits within you, you can control external spirits while making prayers. With
this, no magnitude of distraction will affect you while making prayers and your
mind will able to assign a proper dimension.
To
utilize your fasting very well, you must know how to arrange Psalm 119 in
special ways according to what you are praying for and meditate on it,
especially by 3:00am.
Ebuka
Obi, who doesn't even know how fasting works, has told their church members to
embark on a 100-day fasting. So many pastors ignorantly recommend fasting to
their followers, and the followers f00lishly embark on hunger strike. Education
is very important.
Let me
not talk so much here.
