Live Above!

Rev 5:10… And you have caused them to become a Kingdom of priests for our God. And they will reign on the earth." (NLT)

Matt 6:33… “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.”(NLT)

Hey Everybody,

How’s the new week coming? Happy New Month from all of us at MONIC to you- the LORD’s own.

In today’s post, I’ll like to share one view I have on fasting and other spiritual exercises. Let me start by saying that GOD is not a medication or some spiritual commodity that you run to get just for the purpose of healing, wealth, to get rid of depression etc. GOD is our friend, and our daily companion, our lover and HE should be treated as such. (I hope I am not sounding harsh?)

It has been tried and tested often that when you pray and fast, certain things that you struggle with, things that you want and questions bugging you get answers. As much as I support this, I’m only pointing out today that you can live on that exalted plane everyday of your life. A plane where whenever a question bugs your mind, you get answers from the LORD immediately. You don’t have to fall ill so much that you go into fasting to come out of it. In fact who says you cannot live a life of health and wholeness.

Please don’t get me wrong. I am not say that you should not fast, no! I am simply saying that we should not save our fasting, praying and other spiritual exercises for the turbulent times only. In fact you should do them so often that the turbulent times don’t come at all because you are to on fire for such. If they do come, it doesn’t shake you but makes you, yes, it brings a reaction from your inner man that confirms your strength in the LORD!

I’ve heard very often that “praying doesn’t move GOD, it moves you” and I do agree. The thing about fasting and praying to me, is not just that when you practice these things, then GOD works in your favour and heals, provides and saves you, but I’ve come to understand that it really is that when you do those things, you strengthen your inner man, and those ropes or chains tying it down becomes too weak to hold it down again. Do you understand? I mean also that you come up to a higher plane in GOD and the closer you get into HIS presence those things know that in HIS presence they cannot dwell there and so they just must drop. They flee! So, you chase more after GOD and those things automatically run farther from you. That’s why after a fasting or prayer session you have healing, deliverances, you experience great height spiritually, etc

But, we can be like this all the time if we keep our bond with GOD, keep seeking HIM in fasting and prayers regularly, keep longing to just dwell with and in HIM. Do this in daily communion in word, prayers and regular fasting personally knowing that the believers’ race is 100% personal. Keeping your eyes open to HIS word, your ears open and antennas tuned in prayer, just getting more and more conscious of HIS presence daily will save us from a lot of these daily struggles because than we know that where HE is, certain things cannot dwell there, and since I am with HIM, then I cannot be afflicted.

That’s the mentality we need to keep up in our hearts every day and give GOD glory for it. Only then will we be able to move above a life of afflictions and live a life of purpose and concentration. Then you can live above sicknesses and be strong in the LORD proclaiming HIS praise and being all that GOD wants you to be. We can live above depression, and live above chaos and have the peace of GOD in our hearts and mind so as to be creative enough to do wondrous things for the LORD. We leave the low planes of fighting the devil and just enjoy living for the LORD and HIS purpose for us on the earth reigning as the king that we are redeemed as! (Rev 5:10)

I see you Reigning!
