why do you have to starve yourself to test your faith? Why not something like being sincere having morals and integrity? unlike 99% of nigerians

God does not require you to be hungry before he answers your prayers. What fasting does is that it weakens the flesh and brings out your spiritman so you can talk to Him better

Why do we fast?

1. We fast to rend our hearts to God

2. For spiritual enlightenment

3. As a sign of repentance

4. For spiritual connection
