The greatest things which man is destined to rule with unswerving move are his own mind, mouth and life. These things are just extension of the universal order of discipline. They are connected and related to the entire human race or humanity in general.
No victory or success can be achieved without taking these three things into absolute consideration. Whatever you do not have cannot be given to others. I have seen a man who promises better life and victory when he in his inner sanctuary and secluded place lack true discipline and he’s mentally corrupt. I have severally taught and advised people that man who cannot discipline his own mouth would forever remain slave to passion and immorality. Fasting and prayer are two greatest means to reach out to the universe and connect our lives to the source of all things in creation. Some have treated the issue of fasting and prayer with great levity and given no attention to these two of the most potent power in creation and have equated fasting to certain religion and sect in the modern era. Fasting is a tradition which emanated from the source of life which must be undertaken and performed by all men in creation . It is the source of power and the beginning of all things in creation. Man gain soul in fasting and died in fasting and sleep till eternity in fasting. Both temporary sleep and permanent sleep are rooted in fasting. Your daily sleep give a vivid example of how universe want you to fast . I have a couple of people who are against fasting because of one thing – total indiscipline deeply rooted in lack of self control and mental disequilibrium,
The mastery of the craft (fasting, prayer and vigil) embraces the mastery of the knowledge of life. It lifts man into the supremacy of wisdom, discipline, bestowing upon him the gift of miracle, wonders and divine attributes out of which all divinities derived their most potent power. Fasting, prayer ,vigil and sound mental state give man power to distinguish between good and evil, between discipline and indiscipline, also to comprehend that which is above both good and evil and to know that nature responds positively to disciplined life with miracle and wonders .
At present, men are more or less under the sway of rebellious deeds, acts , thoughts and utterances, they fail to conquer their mouth, mind and action, they fall for indiscriminate and compulsive acts of perpetual eating and drinking of alcohol or sugary drinks that have actually corrupted their body, mind and soul. They cannot hold themselves accountable to connect the true divine state through refraining from food for certain hours, and thereby poison their mind with unnatural foods and drinks. Immorality and indolence arising from gluttony and drunkenness . To conquer these habits means supreme conquest of life. The fools believe that everything can be mastered or taught or written without self discipline and self conquest, they defile the body with foods and live with evil thoughts. They seek happiness through immoral doctrines and sweet preachings, condemning the rationality of life by seeing the world of spirit through their myopic character, criticising and arrogantly modifying external things and eternal wisdom to suit their own needs, rules and regulations, thinking the universe must bend to their own little understanding and feeble wisdom, pretending to give advise on what is spiritual and divine without an accurate knowledge of divine orderliness.
Your attitude depict your spiritual and divine knowledge . hoever fails to learn the basic spiritual and divine character will not only destroy his temporary life but his generational bearing and will suffer eternal consequences.. The wise knows that there is no real mastery or discipline until self is subdued and conquered. Until fasting and prayer are undertaken on the perpetual basis, your reality and human cannot be redeemed. Do you learn about the story of Ela the greatest and the precious child of Olodumare (GOD), whose teachings go beyond mere sacrifices and rituals. He thought the world the basic principles of divine state through shared love, prayer and fasting. He was eventually victimised and forced to ascend because his teachings contradicted the views of divinities before him. He wanted a change in the tradition of his predecessors, but the oppressors and the impostors of his days did not allow his teachings to see the light of the day, due to their gluttony, immoral behaviour, alcoholism and self praised attitude that did not serve God and man in creation . Learn the secrets of fasting and prayer, start to fast even for just six hours a day to see and witness abundant energy in creation unseen to your physical eyes, and you will perceive the difference in your life and the lives of your generation. It shall be well with you as long as there is an appearance of the sun.
Alafia.
