New Dawn greetings to you all in the
name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
A new day dawn on Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah after a 3-day
fasting episode, which led to their victory over a seemingly impossible battle–2
Chr. 20:3-14/22-24
A new day dawn on the disciples of Christ after they were endued with
power from on high through the platform of prayers– Luk. 24:49/
Act 1:2-41
All through scriptures, prayer and fasting has proved to be a covenant
platform for empowerment – Luk.
4:1-14/Luk. 9:28-29/35/43
We are empowered and re-empowered on the platform of
prayers – Act.2:1-4/ Act. 4:3-33
Prayer and fasting is not just about getting things from God, but gaining
command over desires– Luk. 4:14/37/46
We gain command over all satanic strongholds through the mystery of prayer
and fasting – Mat. 17:21
Moreover, prayer and fasting does not only change things, prayer and
fasting changes people, as in the case of Moses– Exo. 34:27-35
If we must walk in the New Dawn realm that Christ walked in, then we must
embrace the demands of prayer and fastingas He did –
Mak. 2:18-20
Furthermore, the ScripturerecognisesFour
levels of spiritual empowerment, as stated in Ezekiel
47:1-5.
This truth is also validated by the following scriptural illustrations:
Ø The Power Level – Act. 1:8/
Acts 2:1-4 (ankle
deep)
Ø The Great Power Level – Acts
4:30-33 (Knee
deep)
Ø The Exceeding Great Power Level – Eph. 1:18/
Luk. 9:43 (Loin
deep), and
Ø The Power of the world to comelevel – Heb. 6:5/
Jn 1:34
(Overflowing realm)
This is why we must take advantage of this forthcoming
21days of prayer and fasting, to crave for change of level in empowerment, that
will enable us gain higher command over the issues of life this year.
But remember, it takes a panting of the soul and a longing of the flesh to
experience a change of level in the school of power –Ps 63:1-3/ Jn
7:37-39
