The Two Aspects of Our Relationship with God
In Christianity, our relationship with God can be understood through two key aspects. The first aspect is what God promises to do for us—His divine commitments to guide, protect, and provide for us and this can mean several things beyond our imagination. The second aspect focuses on what God expects from us—our responsibility to know, understand, and act according to His will. These two aspects form the foundation of a Christian life, interweaving God’s grace with our obedience and faithfulness.
However, living out our part of this covenant relationship has become increasingly challenging due several facts that stems from ignorance, laziness, and the challenge from the forces of darkness in seeking to present us. We find ourselves in an environment that is spiritually toxic and highly infectious. Secular humanism and distorted religious beliefs, often masquerading as true Christianity, dominate much of today’s culture. These false ideologies and diluted forms of faith can confuse and mislead believers, making it difficult to hold fast to genuine Christian values and teachings.
The purpose of this cultural toxicity is clear: to neutralize, desensitize, and paralyze anything that promotes spiritual growth and maturity in the Lord. We are living in a time where God’s prophetic purposes face unprecedented opposition. Never before has the intent of God for His people been so fiercely attacked, as the enemy works tirelessly to undermine believers’ faith and disconnect them from their divine purpose.
Amidst this spiritual struggle, fasting stands out as a powerful tool to help Christians regain focus, clarity, and strength. Fasting provides an advantage, giving us the opportunity to maintain spiritual sensitivity, drive, and passion, which are essential for staying aligned with God’s will. It acts as a countermeasure against the cultural forces that seek to distract us, allowing us to remain firmly on the path God has set for our lives.
A fast that is focused on spiritual growth and maturity allows us to engage with and confront the toxic culture around us. In a world that tries to pull us away from our calling in Christ, fasting helps us resist these influences and stay true to our purpose. It empowers us to recalibrate our lives, bringing us back into alignment with God’s intentions.
