This week’s message from Pastor Diran Adeleke is all about understanding the power and purpose of fasting. Drawing on Matthew 4:4 and Isaiah 58, Pastor Diran explained that fasting is more than just abstaining from food. It’s a voluntary and deliberate act of setting aside physical pleasures to focus on spiritual growth. By doing so, we align ourselves with God’s plans, grow spiritually, and empower our spirit to overcome the desires of the flesh. The key takeaway is that fasting isn’t about changing God’s mind; it’s about transforming our hearts and lives to follow His path more closely. Fasting strengthens both body and spirit, and through it, we become more attuned to the voice and guidance of God.
