The Old Testament is replete with stories about the power of fasting and prayers. In 2 Chronicles 20, Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah was threatened by powerful kings who had vowed to wipe out Judah. Jehoshaphat stood no chance against them. Our opening verse shows us what he did. He set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. Please, read 2 Chronicles 20:22-23 and you’ll see that they didn’t pray and fast in vain. The kings who vowed to destroy Judah fought and destroyed themselves. I want to ask you: have you set yourself to seek God about what you want to see this year? Then, proclaim a fast. Take it serious like you’re going for a battle and you will see your testimonies in Jesus name. Say after me: Fasting is a weapon and I use it in Jesus name, amen!
