As a christian,fasting is good for your spiritual growth but should be moderate.When one fast more than he should,he may not even have the strength of talking to God in prayer.
   Let us know the difference between fasting and starving
   {1} It should come from your heart to fast in the very first place and not because you were told to fast
   {2}High amount of holiness is important when you fast because the holy life you live is what that will draw God's attention and not the fasting.Fasting is all about
        subduing the power of flesh so that the spirit of God in you will take control
  {3} Anoint your head so that the closest person will not notice what you are doing
   {4}Give arms to the needy and avoid talking too much
  {5} make sure you are in good terms with every body so that your prayers will not be hindered
   {Don't fast for so long so that you have strength of talking to God
     
   Apart from these you are starving.

If she had survived and had a girl then it would've been glory be to god halleluyah praise the lord then plant a seed and do thanksgiving but since she died pastor will do his best to sweep it under the carpet and keep it quiet because its bad for business

Pastor will never even announce during church service that someone died as a result of fasting its only the success stories that you'll hear which happen to be few in comparison to those that are not

See,woe betide those that merchandise with the name of God claiming they were sent when they were not sent
misleading people with their myopic understanding of heavenly rules

Very sad. Nigerians are too desperate

sad, she could have adopted

The pains of ignorance could be scorching.

Na wa o! Na only Africans own dey too much. The white men will assume it is craziness for that woman to do that. But I dont blame her bcus she is an ignorance of what she was doing. Had been she understand the implication of not having enough whater in ones body she wouldnt have dug into it so deep like that. Imagine 21days

What a pity! Always wise to look for practical solutions while praying along.  There are many options for child seeking couples these days. I remember coming across a thread on NL detailing options available to people in that situation.

Fasting by choice and praying for Gods guidance and wisdom to decipher the best steps to take works better than going by someone elses dictates. The fact is that our bodies are not the same and long fasts can be dangerous especially when dehydration sets in (i no be doctor o), just based on personal experience. BTW is there anything wrong with adoption in the worst situation?

May her soul rest in peace and may we all learn to pray, fast and communicate to God on our own. God speaks to us individually if we care to listen without bias. There are indeed men of God but a personal relationship with God makes a lot of difference in our lives.

Hmm, There's definately something amiss.

Did she really have to do that?Dying to live.

Ignorance is a sin.see now she is dead, now, all because she failed to use her senses

is she skinny i dnt beliv dis story, howeva if true RIP to ha soul, d lesser population, d betta 4 d living

This is actually possible i'm surprised she died because the human body can survive for 30 days without anything is his tummy but fluid has t be in the system.
Don't think hunger killed her cos when the human body can't see food it will starve, your tummy will hurt like hell and is growling like a cornered dog, five days later your body will start feeding on your tummy fat, if it still did not see food, the lord is good, so your body will adjust itself to a state that all your body nutrients like fats and vitamins, glucose protein and sugar that has turned into a part of you will then start fueling your body, you might be starving like a mofo but you won't die plus i don't beleive this story because she should have died on day four of no water, I know i'm sounding like a geek but its a fact humans will die after four to seven days of no water, as she woke up on morning of day one she should be thirsty as hell, morning of day two her throat should be dry and hot, day three it should have been stuck together, in the evening she should have fainted and given a drip at the hospital so either you rule not drinking out of the story or something else killed her cos she shouldn't survive one week without water

there are things missing in the posting, you can't just finnish 21days fast & die just like that!

No human being can survive for even half that long without water. The OP should look for another lie to tell us.

@m-nwankwo

The notion that we please God by self imposed renunciation like fasting and similar things is wrong in my perception. God wills that all his creations should bubble with life and supreme joy. Suffering is not the will of God and it is antithetical to the LOVE that is in God and that is GOD. God did not create or will suffering into his creations. In heaven, the spiritual kingdom of God where the will of God reigns, suffering is non-existent. Suffering is present only in material creations including our earth and suffering came into existence as a result of the misapplication of the power of God. Man or rather the spirit that is man has the ability to draw the power of God and use it. He can use the power of God to raise himself to luminous realms of pure joy or he can can apply the power to dig his own grave. The ascent to heaven or the decent to hell lies on how we use the power that God lent to us. Simply put, suffering is  a consequence of sin and sin is simply a misapplication of the power of God. The power of God can be likened to the power entrapped in the nucleus of an atom (crude analogy). The atomic power can be used to give millions electricity but it can also be used to produce nuclear bombs.

We suffer because of our own actions or inaction. Sin also encompasses our inability to to listen to the voice of our spirit. Many a suffering including natural disasters can be avoided if we listen to the several warnings that physically invincible servants of God impress on us. Most of us have become spiritual dense that even the severest warnings makes no impression in our day consciousness. In the course of our existence spanning several incarnations on earth and in other material planes, we have misapplied the power of God so much that the fruits of our seeds bring suffering and despair instead of radiant joy. Most people cannot see beyond the present earth-life, hence we ask such questions like "why does God allow bad things to happen to good people", why do some evil men proper? Why are children borne with hereditary diseases? Why is Africa so poor and plagued with HIV, malaria, etc? Why does God allow infectious diseases and cancers to torment his creatures? and many similar questions. It will take several books to answer these questions. The underlying point is that diseases, evil, suffering etc are simply a misapplication of the laws of God in different planes of material creations.

The laws of God are not a set of rules as many think but are the intrinsic properties that is inherent in any creature, specie, creation of God. There is nothing anybody can do to change or annul these intrinsic properties. What we can do is to understand them and use them for the purpose for which the creator designed them for. In this instance we will have a harmonious union of the radiations of God which can only result in joy, inner peace and supreme happiness. If the intrinsic properties of the powers of God are misapplied, the consequence is wrongful and destructive union of radiations that can only result in disease, suffering, evil, etc. If we eat, drink, act, talk and perceive according to the intentions of God, then suffering, diseases and evil will depart from us and this earth will then be a reflection of the spiritual kingdom of God. A healthy body does not need drugs, but an unhealthy body may require drugs to  forcibly restore it to health. In a similar vein, it is only a body that has become dense that occasionally requires fasting to restore balance. But the right endeavor should be not to allow the body to become dense in the first place. Eat and drink in moderation and only take from the table of God that which God imbued with the power to nourish our bodies. All excess with food and drink must be avoided. Even in a physical sense, if we eat and drink in moderation and nourish the body with the right mixture of food and drink, the body will become the way God designed it and many an illness will be averted. Fasting brings no spiritual benefit. It is just that in bodies that have become dense, abstinence from food for a short time will give some refinement to the body, permitting it to be more susceptible to the promptings of the spirit. Continuous abstinence will be dangerous because the weakening of the body  will also result in weakened emanation from the body making it very possible for such a physical body to be subject to alien influences. In such a state it is very easy to be demonically influenced or be subject to possession by an alien disembodied spirit. Best Wishes.

I cant help but quote this again, even though it is lengthy!
God bless you real mighty for the above.
I am sure you're NOT A PASTOR but your post reminds me of the Biblical saying that "Wisdom would be (is) found IN THE MOUTH OD BABIES! (No Offense to your person).

I recall growing up, when l was told and read in the Bible that "a man cannot wear a woman's cloth".
So, in my naivety, l asked: WHAT EXACTLY IS A MAN"S CLOTH, knowing that my Mum's wrapper is a Ghananian man's cloth and her Skirt is a Scottish man's traditional apparel!
Well, l was given a long list of Buba and Sokoto!  
Curiously, l reasoned that God's Law are UNIVERSAL and ETERNAL without boundaries and as such,
the observed discrepancy in the interpretation given by our "men of God" is completely obtuse and inadequate!

Reading the post above and how it "broke things down into simple A-B-C", is marvelous.

How l wish Pastors can preach and reason like this?
I really appreciate you for that post.

Cheers.

BTW: Can you please elucidate on the Term "MIRACLE" as connoted in Christian worship. Thank you.

Methink this is just a shabbily concocted tales by moonlight by the OP! 21 days dry fasting? Na real wa o!

May her soul rest in peace,in Jesus name amen

At least 60% of women's infertility can be traced to something they did.

Young girls should behave themselves and save themselves the heartache later in future.

Where did you get this 60% figure from?

Let no man mock the woman or anybody close to her.I believe she is with the Lord.
There is no limit to spiritual exploit in God, but adequate knowledge and guidance is very important. Before going on dry fasting, your health condition has to be ok. If your dry fasting is going beyond 3 days, it is recommended that you brake with water daily, but if you have the strength you can start taking water from the 7th day. Improper braking can be disastrous especially for long fasting, it has to be light food and fruits for at-least half the number of days of the dry fast after the fasting.Never brake your fast with heavy food.

May the Lord Console her family and be with them in Jesus Mighty Name.Amen.
