Jan 5 Fasting & Prayer Day 3 Devotional: *A follower of Jesus …indeed, Part 2
The 3R principle: Resist, Reject & Replace
Fasting trains us to:
1.RESIST & REJECT the appetite for food – one of human’s strongest drives; &
2.REPLACE it with the appetite for God’s Word – spirit & life
But Jesus answered him saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word of God.’ ” Mt 4:4; Lk 4:4
Like Him, by fasting, I put a premium on The Word of God as the MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR in my life & for my:
living, thriving, prosperity, good success, significance, purpose-fulfillment, good works-accomplishment:
It is the Spirit Who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you: they are spirit, and they are life, Jn 6:63
…I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food, Job 23:12
