POWER ENCREASES AS FAST INCREASES by Fr Magembe

FATHER MAGEMBE EXPEDITO’S TEACHING ABUT THE
POWER ENCREASES AS FAST INCREASES

The quality of your fasting will depend on what purpose you are fasting for
One of the most important aims is to increase the power of our prayer

Fr. Magembe mentions some of the problems which can be removed by the power of fasting.

THERE ARE POWERS OR PROBLEMS WHICH CAN BE REMOVED
i-Any believer
ii-A believer with prayer
iii-A believer withy prayer and fasting

things which are more difficulty will demand a greater sacrifice
you can extend your prayer power by additional price
or limit your power of prayer by refusing to pay an additional price

Fr. Magembe continues to say,
Fasting is a powerful weapon against the devil to over throw satan and build up the Kingdom of God

Do not take life lightly make up your mind to pay the price—alife devoted to prayer and fasting.

Those who fast a meal when they could fast a day
Those who fast a meal a day when they could fast two days etc---
They are leaving a life of disobedience—their authority over satan or problems will be very limited

When we can not live a life consecrated to God and live a life without fasting enough and prayer our prayer will be very weak. [ Mk. 9:17-29]

Fr. Magembe quotes Lk.2;36-38

Those who are devoted to the Lord do pray and fast throughout as away of life—the should have a reculaar way of fasting—
Short—two days a week
Long one—3days—a week together
----7days or a moth—21—28
--------------40 days should be done once a year

Father Magembe Expedito give an example of Ann the daughter of phanuel spent all her life in the temple faraying and fasting for the Lord to come---worshiping and fasting
She knew how the devil had dlayed the coming of the MESSIAH FROM
The beginning of God’s plan

i-Sarah was barren for years—she was in the lineage of the Savior
ii-Judah committed immorality with his daughter in law and gave a birth to
Perez who was alsi in the lineage of the Messsiah who was being delayed
iii-David committed adultery and Solomon was born who was also of the lineage of the Savor

The devil wanted God to give up His plan by delaying it
Anne looked forward to meet the Savior –she made herself a prayer warrior
It was her praises and her fasting that enabled Jesus to come in her time or else she was going to miss him and may be even Mary was to miss him
In spite of her old age she persisted in fasting and prayer

When she met Jesus, she continued topray and fast that’s why ajesus escaped from Erode—

How many Godds plans are delayed or made impossible in your life and the life of others because of our refusal to pray and fast enough

FASTING AND MINISTERING TO THE LORD BY FR. MAGEMBE

This is also a very powerful empowerment to our prayer
To minister to the Lord you should:
i-Know and love the lord intimately
ii-be as holy as Possible
iii-Seek for the honor for the Lord not self amusement
iv-Be totally all for Him

Fr. Magembe continues to quote in the following verses of the bible.
Ps. 50:23-who brings thanksgiving as his sacrifice pleases me
Ps.27:6 Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving
Ps.50:14l will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy-lwill sing and make melody to the Lord—Ps.27:6
Hebr.13:15 Let us offer Hi a sacrifice of praise

God is looking for people who fast and worship and praise Him
Thank him and sing to him regularly regardless of what they are going through –whatever happens , they will continue in same way
This is a costly ministry and honors the Lord and INFURIET the devil
God id desiring that you set a time a very day throughout for this ministry for thanking,paising, singing to him and worshipping He desires this from his people—this can be made even privately-we concentrate on him and not our own desires.

Fr. Magembe continues this teaching by saying
With a sacrifice of fasting add on the sacrifice of praising and worshipping
You will have given him a double sacrifice
Those who selfishly seek to minister to Him will receive far more greator than those who seek him to get answers for their problems
The woman who broke the jar at his feet was commended more than those who preferred to be given to the poor [Mk.14:9]

You may need to know what to do or to hear from the Lord all this will require a sacrifice of fasting

Put aside a day in a week-for fasting and ministering to the Lord
Praising and worshipping and sing to the Lord—not asking for your need
Purely for him and him alone---this will make you grow in the Lord and be able to set a fuul week fasting and ministering to the Lord

Fr. Magembe is teaching about blessings

Fr. Magembe Expedito teaches about the blessing of being delivered. Father Magembe Expedito says that; The greatest stumbling block in the way of our victory is the secret of feeling that we will never receive the blessing of being delivered from our old habits and the power of the flesh, our surroundings with their attractions-have been too strong for us for years and years in our life—the change looks too great and too difficult –is a change possible ?

Fr. Magembe continue to say; Do you really long for the courage to believe that such a change in your life is possible—then you have to believe that such a deliverance is included in the redemption Jesus is offering to you—by the power of the Holy Spirit in Jesus-prayer moves mountains. Fr. Magembe takes an advise from St. Paul-[1 Thess.5:17] —“pray without ceasing” seriously -- it is conveying a new meaning in your life hope begins to spring up in your heart—if a life of prayer begins in you—then any desired change of life becomes possible for you .
In his teaching, Fr. Magembe encourages us always to forget the feeling of discouragement , but hearken to the greatness of hope—the voice calling you to prayer---

Fr. Magembe Expedito continues to say; “Do not live under bitter self accusation or discouragement –you have tried your best and no blessing has come—it is because there was no strength to continue to live faithfully and the call to prayer had no power and therefore all the attempts ended up in vain—our success lies in fixing our eyes on Jesus and Jesus alone”.
You very well know that Something to happen in your life- will begin with prayer—but you have no desire to pray—you feel cold and dark—Fr. Magembe Expedito tells here to always Offer our self into Jesus’ hands—in all our weakness –rely on Jesus to bestow the grace of prayer. Father Magembe Expedito emphasizes us not seek victory in our own strength—“seek His presence—allow Him to touch your heart—he will teach you how to pray and this will lead you out of the mess you may be experiencing in your life---begin to see Jesus always with you to deliver and cleanse you from any sin—always ready to protect and bless you and above all –He will bestow the grace of a praying heart on which every blessing depends.” Father Magembe continue to say; “nothing can be expected unless one has begun to walk a life of prayer by believing in Jesus.”
Jesus’s love—His support—in Him you have power to pray—you have hope for everything—Jesus is all you need.

Father Magembe Expedito continue to advise us that; Prayer must be your new relationship with Jesus—keeping you always in enjoyment of His fellowship—your prayer life must be under His control –must be under His love—He will give you the Holy Spirit for all the divine support, knowledge and the truth.—here you will find prayer in Jesus and with Jesus, and victory as a source of very blessing—do not struggle alone to pray—do not put all your effort on prayer but focus on Jesus—seek Jesus—seek His fellowship—His love and His power—the Holy Spirit---
You may ask yourself but how long will this new fire of love and trusting Jesus will go ? May be you have tried sometimes and reached somewhere with prayer but you became cold again –impossible to pray and life of sin came back and so you have been defeated totally.
It is the fire of seeking the love and relationship with Jesus in prayer that will keep you going—offer the sacrifice of praise—you have to fun your love for Jesus to keep your prayer life going by sacrifices of praise and worship, good works and common life-----these are sacrifices pleasing to God..
Father MagembeExpedito quotes [ Hebr.13:15-17] Every time, Let us sing God’s praises—let our lips offer Him unceasing sacrifice worthy His name—praises rising like incense –A pillar shining in the night for us to see the way- a cloud leading us to the promised land –a land of rest—of silence—contemplation---
It is praise and worship that will keep you always connected to the power of His love and presence and keep your life of prayer growing—
Secondary –keep always in mind that your good works are very necessary sacrifices which must be offered as often as you need prayer—must company your prayer—for they require love and effort—
CLove—tears—sweat and pains—to let others be in peace—making yourself a channel
Of peace and joy—in a family, at your working place and in the church—
Let prayer be your little heaven—to enjoy His presence and love expressed we have for others----praise and worship will ease your pain—these are the wings of prayer to enable fly beyond your limitations and sin.
