FOUNDATION SCRIPTURE:

“......for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”

THEME: DIVINE VISITATIONS AND OVERCOMING GIANTS.

Fasting is not merely an act of abstaining from food; it is a spiritual discipline that opens our hearts and minds to divine visitations. In 1 Samuel 17:26, David’s challenge to Goliath reflects a powerful moment of faith and recognition of God's might. When we fast, we step into a place of humility, seeking God earnestly, just as David did.

As believers, fasting positions us for divine encounters that strengthen our resolve to confront life's giants. It is during these times that we can hear God's voice more clearly, receiving guidance, strength, and renewed purpose. Fasting fuels our spiritual warfare, empowering us to take positive and purposeful actions in worship and service to God.

Let us not forget that our fasting should lead us to good deeds, manifesting God’s love and grace in our lives. In this season of prayer and fasting, commit to being a vessel for God’s work in the world. As we engage in this spiritual discipline, let it inspire us to worship fervently, serve diligently, and advance His Kingdom on Earth.
