Effective Vessel of God Thru Fasting

SCRIPTURE: MATTHEW 5: 16 -18

Another Great chapter to check our Christian Character path. Today is on fasting which not many can understand the reason to fast and how to fast. Many like myself struggle to fast but the rewards are great. Lets learn it! I personally exercised it for my mom's salvation; praise the Lord, she is saved for 20+ years now!

 

 

LESSON POINT: (Observation) Effective through Fasting

 

Fasting is part of the Christian Character building where the body is subdued. The heart and mind take over to focus on the things of God. There is full fast or part fast where fasting is for the whole day or part of the day. Full fast can also mean full abstenance or part; liquid fast or solid fast.

Children must be TAUGHT to FAST today to prepare for their tomorrow. Look at the youth or young people today and we would understand the importance to getting the children learn God's ways NOW.

 

TRUTH: (Application) ~ God will use those who prepare themselves rightly for His glory. Children who fast would draw closer to God and be cleansed as His vessels.

 

BIBLE VERSE: Matthew 5:16 - 18

Break up passage by pausing at the right places while reciting. Recite one by one to each other. 

 

ACTIVITY:

Have children write down on paper something important they want God to work on. Challenge the children to fast according to the bible passage. Choose a partner for accountability. Fast and pray about the item until God answers. Journal times of fasting and revelation. Dont be surprised that children will hear from God more readily.

 

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, When You were here on earth, your disciples did not fast; but You said, there would come the time for your disciples to fast. Help us to fast today to understand your teaching and will, Lord. Amen.
