With its ongoing 21-day fasting and prayers, Bishop Chris Kwakpovwe the founder and Presiding Bishop of the Manna Prayer Mountain Ministries Worldwide, headquartered in Lagos and also the author of Our Daily Manna, has advised married couples to follow the word of God and ensure that they have the consent of their partners before embarking on long or short fasting programs.
According to him, ‘1st Corinthians 7: 3- 5 says, no one in a marital relationship has the right to jump into fasting without the agreement and consent of their partner. It has to be an agreement for this to happen. In other words, you have to put your wife or husband and be in agreement.
He went on to say, ‘You can not do a secret fast. Your partner and spouse need to know and be in agreement, This is what the bible (as revealed via Apostle Paul) says. Once your partner says NO, please don’t do it. The bible wants you to discuss with and listen to your partner and in certain cases appeal to them in wisdom.
May the fasting and prayers of this year bring positive results for everyone and may results that cancel insults be showcased in your lives in Jesus name’.
