Okay. You weren't able able to finish the write up?

I didn't even reach 10 days, talk less of 40.

Thanks and God bless.

Different strokes for different folks...

Even with the benefit of hindsight i would make the same decision over and over again given the opportunity to do so again.

What you claim has no spiritual significance is one of the most spiritually significant thing that's ever happened to me, and I wouldn't trade it for anything else in the world.

Many apostles and prophets of old even some true believers today who know better concerning such things would agree with me on that.

Hence I would say that this comment you made is rather ignorant and that you haven't the least idea what you speak about.

But you're entitled to your view though.

God bless.



I'm laughing really hard at the height of ignorance being displayed by you both.

So Moses came out with a glorious face after fasting right? Also the apostles worked signs and wonders after fasting right? But all you know about me is that I came out with a bony structure and naked, without any "signs and wonders, no miracles, no deep revelations, no preaching or saving of souls, no life won for Christ" right?

I'm used to that though with NL Christians who are predominantly spiritually shallow, yet are not willing to learn from those who know and love God much better than they do, so no surprises there.

That's the same way, when I said Jesus appeared to me, they were so sure that it wasn't Him, some were even willing to place a bet... but they all were put to shame, after God went out of His way to confirm here that it was really His Son Jesus that appeared to me to their confounding, that some even had to modify their such comments to show how foolish and ignorant it now made them look. I wouldn't be surprised if you were even one of them because you sound as one of them, even though you come in the guise of a different (new) moniker.

Thank God I have quoted this your comment though just in case... So according to you I was competing with God right? Okay. If you're not also put to shame soon because of this comment, then i'd accept everything you've said against me here as the truth and that the fasting was of no spiritual significance but borne of sheer ignorance.

But if you are, then you should be humble enough to swallow your pride and accept that you made a serious blunder concerning me.

I'm really grateful that I shared this experience even though it gives you an opportunity to mock, because this is not meant for the spiritually blind who believe that God deserves crumbs, and want to continue giving Him such, but for those who are willing to know that God deserves nothing but the best and everything even as the apostles had given to Him, so that they'd be inspired to give Him same.

God bless.

You rule and reign in Confidence because the KING of All Spirts backs you up.

JesusSonOfGod:
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.

pennzo:
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.

LZAA:
Few are roaming...

PROPHETmichael:
I thank God for you and the zeal you have towards the things of God.

I was reading through it hoping to see the divine encounter that you had in the "wilderness" but i didn't see none which made it seems like a wasted efforts. However, I applaud the boldness that you took.

One thing I must say here is that you don't really need to visit the mountain in order to experience God. Jesus himself abolished that practice when he met the Samaritan woman (John 4:20-26). In verse 21 he said, "Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father...."

That's why none of his disciples went into the wilderness inorder to seek the face of God. Also, going to Jerusalem for pilgrimage have no spiritual significance other than site visit. Those who embark on such journey are a mere tourist.

You can achieve that wilderness experience in the comfort of your home by simply locking yourself up in your room (don't come out), turn off your phone, tv, radio and anything that can give you information from the outside world. This is what I did on 2009 and in day 4 of my 7 days dry fasting, Jesus walked into my room, tap me on my shoulder and said to me "follow me" and then turn back and walked out. I had several other encounters between day 3 and 5 but that to me was the major one.


Try this system and you will glad you did.

jesusjnr2020:
Well... maybe not exactly a wilderness as those depicted in the Bible, but it was the closest I could get to that at the time. It was a large uninhabited and uncultivated area (bush) somewhere in the outskirts of Abuja, where I intended to get that final push I needed to begin to live the kind of life I dreamed for God.

It was the kind of life the prophets and apostles and even Christ lived on Earth in those days, where they were dead to the things of this world but fully alive to the things of the Spirit and the Kingdom of God.

I already had the orientation they had and was truly willing, but my flesh was weak hence i lacked the strength, might or power to follow it through. I kept looking out of the window and wondering when I would be able to do likewise and finally begin to live the life of my dreams, as what I saw all around me seemed completely opposed to the kind of life I dearly craved.

The present day church didn't even help matters much as it was a far cry from the kind I knew and desired to part of, even that which I had seen in the acts of the apostles where it was all about God.

I'd already made some sacrificial decisions and forsaken everything for the sake of the Kingdom of God even as the disciples had done, to prove how determined I was, so I was already on the right course, but it was just that final boost to completely escape the gravitational field of the flesh I was yet lacking.

After waiting and hoping for a while without making any significant progress, i decided to take a drastic step, and embark on a forty day and forty nights fast without food or water in a bushy area not very far from where I lived.

I think the inspiration behind this course of action, were the examples of those who were said to have observed such a fast in the Bible, combined with the wilderness experience, which appeared to be the final preparation point for some before the commencement of their ministries. For instance, John the baptist and even Master Jesus, who were said to have been in the wilderness fasting for a while before the commencement of their ministries. Hence I decided to also give it a shot.

My prayer then to God was "Use Me Or I Die!" So if I made it out alive, it would mean that I had achieved the purpose of going there, which was to begin to live the life of my dreams where it was all about God and nothing else.

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

SlayerSupreme:
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.

SlayerSupreme:




Op I don't doubt this last paragraph at all.

pedrozone15:
My brother I am here to encourage you in your walk with GOD. It's not surprising that many do not know the importance of fasting and prayer. Some think it is just a futile activity. Do not be discouraged by those who will castigate you or try to dampen the light you gained from your experience. GOD cannot be mocked. For those of you saying oga eat food and have asked questions where JESUS commanded his disciples to fast read the book of Mark chapter 9 verse 17 - 29. We are called soldiers of the cross for a reason folks. GOD bless you all.

AlexJustin:
what a courage.

may God continue to empower you with his grace.

PROPHETmichael:


I forgot to add that I ended in day 5 because of the excitement of that Jesus encounter but I thank God for grace because I was dead to the flesh after day 3 and from day 4, I was only weak but not hungry.

Kingpele:
God is your strength ,before embarking on a dry fasting ,it is better not to give your flesh any clue on how long u intend to stay without food ,just ask God to keep you away from food as long as he wills ,cause if you intended to fast for forty days and ended up eating on the tenth day believing in yourself that you had achieved in ten days what u believed previously u should achieve after forty days ,then u are making yourself a judge on your case,I believe you might even achieve more if u had waited more on God ,but u really love God as I happen to know the boldness,joy and confidence one usually have when he truly know his God and love him,i think I see that in u ...i won't fast for forty days unless I recieve an order from God to do it because if he commands ,he is able to preserve till the end.keep the light shining

jesusjnr2020:
Thanks. Really appreciate.

I've come to realize overtime in the course of my walk with God, that some of the decisions I make, things I say and do, are being led and inspired of the Spirit. So even if i'm the one doing those things myself, it's not just me but God guiding and leading me.

God bless.
