The Power Of Fasting Part 1 & 2 by Apostle Michael Orokpo

Apostle Michael Orokpo presents fasting as far more than abstaining from food. It is a discipline of separation, prayer, humility and spiritual pursuit. Fasting creates an opportunity for the believer to step away from the dominance of physical appetites and become more attentive to God. It allows God to address the tendencies of the flesh, deepen spiritual sensitivity and build greater dependence upon Him. Most importantly, fasting should affect the person beyond the duration of the fast. The believer should come out of the experience with greater hunger for God, greater discipline, greater sensitivity to the Holy Spirit and a stronger desire to live according to God’s will. Fasting is not about proving how strong we are. It is about discovering how much we need God. When fasting is joined with sincere prayer, God’s Word, humility, righteousness and obedience, it can become a powerful discipline for spiritual growth and Kingdom effectiveness. The broader ministry of Apostle Michael Orokpo frequently emphasizes spiritual preparation, power, authority and Kingdom advancement. Within that framework, fasting can be understood as one of the disciplines through which believers prepare themselves for greater spiritual responsibility. God is not merely interested in giving people assignments. He is interested in preparing people who can carry those assignments faithfully. This is why spiritual disciplines matter. Prayer develops communion. The Word develops understanding. Obedience develops character. Fasting develops discipline and dependence. Together, these disciplines contribute to spiritual maturity.
