Lol

Did Christ teach any such thing?

Or you think HINDUISM and African traditional religion are the same as the faith of Christ?

delusional folks roaming around thinking they sane

Assistant Jesus

You could have summarize your point instead of this long episode

Bullshit.

You don't need 40days fasting man, get sense. Jesus that did the 40days fasting, did it ones and reason to do it is to take away the sins of the world.
You that want to do 40days fasting , which sin you want to take away?

God is way bigger than religion. If you understand God better, you will know that God is not that man who you are joining force with to win the war against satan

God is not sentimental about you. So, my brother, you are just deing of ignorance. Nothing more.

You don rich pass Bill Gate

The lord is your strength brother, ride on...

The Lord is your strength.

Don't let the word of people discourage you cos you have someone who is all doing... Jesus Christ.



Thank you, Lord.

Did you die

Religion has really damaged so many people and it’s such a shame. Better wake up from your delusion and stop starving yourself. You may not survive another attempt.

You’d have just succeeded in capitulating your destiny! Are you trying to impress God by your works of ‘filthy rags’ fasting? Not that you shouldn’t fast but when you think you need to do it to please God then you’re terribly mistaken. The ultimate sacrifice was paid by Christ on the cross and that should be your focus, any other attempt to build on another foundation is nothing but self-righteousness and would only end in frustration.

Interesting

Nigeria is what it is because most of us put religion ahead of reason.

jesusjnr2020 I took some time going through your thread. Looks like an excerpt from the classic adventures of Robinson Crusoe. Lol.
Nice attempt though. God always reward the thirsty and desperate hearts bountifully.
Thanks for sharing.

May God strengthen you more. My prayer to God is to be able to love him with all my heart, soul, mind and spirit. Glory be to God, for the zeal to serve Him in you. I tap from that grace too. You are blessed.

What you need is a true psychiatric evaluation. Over 90 per cent of Nigerian could be clinically crazy, but they don't know it because even the so-called psychiatrists that were just taught to read and write like every other person, without initiatives, may not know the empirical difference between sanity and insanity.

Wether he did it right or wrong, the fact is, he has much love for God and zeal for Him and that surely has a reward.

The responses to your message are not surprising and should not bother you. It is the world we live in now. People want to apply logic to things of the spirit meanwhile they are ignorant of the fact that life itself is more spiritual than physical. Thanks for sharing your experience.

OP after your 40 days fasting trial, I hope you also go ahead and try crucifixion. After all, you are imitating Christ.

Please read Collosians 2: 20-23

Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules:

Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!"?

These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings.

Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence

Madness

Many of you are mad

Ok

jesusjnr2020:
Day 2 in the wilderness started much better than the how day 1 ended as I felt much better and stronger, though it was freezing cold because it was during the harmattan season. I couldn't feel both my arms and feet, they were completely numb and very cold. So it was now the extreme opposite of what it felt like during the day time when the heat was scorching.

But aside that, I felt much better and energetic at the beginning of the day, and I used the opportunity to get more branches and leaves to replace the already dried ones both for my temporary shelter and bed.

So everything else apart more or less seemed to be going according to plan in the morning, until the sun came out and tumbled everything upside down with its heat. It dried up the leaves i used for the shelter that they were dropping like flies, leaving the shelter exposed hence rubbishing all my efforts in a short space of time.

The heat did help to unfreeze my numb arms and feet though despite compounding the discomfort I already felt with the fast. I could remember having to use my urine to cool my stomach, so my urine which ought to be a waste now became useful to me, as I couldn't afford to waste it.

It gave me a clue as to why the rich man in hell would ask for just a drop of water to cool his tongue because of the heat he felt from the flame, as I could feel the difference my urine made to cool my stomach a bit in the scorching heat of the sun.

The heat made life in the wilderness really complicated, as it made me to have to keep switching positions from one place to another to just keep away from its burning path. And although the freezing cold in the night wasn't welcomed either, it was the lesser of the two evils.

However i managed to survive that day, and the next, and the next, and the next, and the next, and the next, and the next, and the next in the wilderness to my greatest surprise, but with every passing day it became much more difficult, as I kept getting weaker and weaker.

Worst still, my joints at my upper arms which were already sprained at some point now became much worse, that I could no longer use them again.

So my arms which had proven very useful and crucial to me up til this point, had now been taken out of the equation.

Moreover on one of those nights in the wilderness, while lying down in the temporary shelter, I heard the foot sound of an animal and saw it put its head into the entrance, but once it saw me it immediately left. I couldn't really tell what animal it was since it was really dark, but it seemed like a wild dog, though I'm not so sure about that.

To be Continued.

jesusjnr2020:
Although It felt really good to have surmounted such a stubborn obstacle after encountering so much difficulty, it left me even more drained than i already was. And I had completely lost track of the pathway that led to my house area, it was also very dark, so the journey back home was bound to take much longer than it ordinarily should.

The place I was at this point was kind of hilly and steep. I kept taking my time to climb down slowly but it was too stressful for me as I had no strength left. So I decided to roll down the hill. That is, I laid down and kept rolling down the hill as was done in the movies. I thought I had no choice at that point, so that was how I kept making progress down the hill until I came close enough to the place I could now walk down.

That left me with a few bruises on my body including my neck, but I had achieved what I wanted with it so it was worth it for me.

At this point though I was completely naked, that is every piece of clothing or wears I had left on me before and after the ditch experience were now gone. But I was now closer to a residential area which wasn't far from where I stayed, so my priority now was to get myself home, hence I kept moving regardless.

I came to a short fence which was not that far from the hill, and I was able to climb over it because it was quite low.

As I kept walking though, someone who saw me climb over the fence which demarcated the bushy area and hill from the residential area, obviously found that development quite strange, adding to the fact that I was completely naked among other things, called me and so I stopped.

And why he questioned me, other people staying close by were soon attracted to the scene, so before long I was surrounded by a small crowd of men, women, boys and girls despite that I had no clothes on.

But that seemed not to matter much neither to me nor to them probably because of the way I looked. I was able explain to them what really happened and surprisingly it didn't take them much time before they could understand and bear with me. They even brought some food for me to eat, rice and purewater as well. Someone among them also gave me some clothes to put on.

After I had finished eating and left them, the same person who gave me the clothes escorted me and gave me a hand because he was also going somewhere in my direction. When I got to a point that led to my place, I indicated to him that I had reached the area that led to my place, so he had to leave me and continued moving straight in the direction he was heading while I had to take a left turn towards mine.

Finally i was close to my home but as I was heading there i passed out as usual and lay on the floor for a while, perhaps for one final time. After I woke up, I began to take the final steps up towards my home at about 10pm the night, so the area was quite dry.

After i got the compound, it was just the gate man i saw, everyone else was inside their own houses, so it was easier for me to just into my house without much drama, even though those at my own home were shocked to their bone marrows at the sight of me.

For the first time since I was a little kid I didn't bath myself, a family friend of mine who was around did. Although I already knew from the other parts of my body how bony I was, when I saw my face in the mirror, I was shocked. It looked just like a skull with just skin and no flesh, hence I came to understand even better the shock that greeted those who knew me beforehand when they first saw me.

So I was finally back home after nine days out in the "wilderness" fasting, but it was glaring that the person that left the house wasn't the person that returned. It was a different me, even the kind of me that I desired to be before I left home and embarked on that journey. Hence the purpose of my leaving home and going into the wilderness fasting had been accomplished.

It was this experience that gave me the boldness to begin to preach on the streets of Abuja at the time which I had shared here on the following thread.

So I had now began to fully live the kind life I dreamed about, even the life of the Spirit where it all about God.

God bless.

mehn.....

ignorance Shaaa..

please when Jesus fasted for 40 days and night, he drank water...

in fact during fasting, drink more water..
you're not breaking d fast..

and secondly

all these 9 days
you've not mention when you prayed..
is it only sleep and starving that you did all through..

believe me if u had pray at interval of 3 or 6 hours..
you would have been lifted...

Afi Jesus Junior

So some nairalanders hav such writing skills but are wasting away..ye people shld join d league of chimamanda,Chinua Achebe.

I like the attempt, though I won't try it. I don't think it necessary. If I should pull away from the world it would be to pray. Intense prayer.

Again, prayer and meditation is missing from your fast. How comes? I don't think Jesus fasted without praying.
