Is It Compulsory For A Christian To Fast This Lent Season???.. by Nobody: 7:21am On Feb 19, 2015
Since I was born to this present day, I have never fasted during the Lent season. It may boil down to the reason because I am a pentecostal and not an adherent of Roman Catholicism..
I have fasted times without number for spiritual growth and as an act of humility before God...
From the scriptures, I know that Jesus christ fasted for 40 days and 40 nights before his public ministry..
For those who will not fast this Lent season, I may still fast on my own for spiritual growth and as an act of humility before God during Lent...
What are your reason for not fasting this Lent seasonhuh..
Is it a general belief that the Lent season is just for Roman Catholicshuh..
And for those who fast during the Lent season, can you share your testimonies of how God did great spectacular miracle in your life to serve as a moral booster for those who don't seem it necessary to fast during the Lent season.
You can also share scriptural proofs to buttress your points..
I wish you all a happy Lent season...
Shalom..

Anything done by compulsion or reluctantly is not acceptable to God.
Anybody who tells you it's compulsory is not speaking God's mind.
There's nothing as acceptable to God as such things which willingly come from ur mind to do.
