Where did Jesus command his disciples to fast.....and for how long did he say they should fast?

Markkito:


Man is made of body, spirit and soul. You strengthen the physical body with food, exercise, you strengthen the spirit with fasting, prayers, meditation. When you fast, the flesh is weakened the spirit is strengthened. Why did Jesus and co fast?

And Matt 17:21. This goeth not out but by fasting and prayer.
But we should apply God's wisdom, we should not overdo things. The person that died did too much

According to Matthew 17:21 in the king James version below....was Jesus giving a command for all Christians to fast or he was simply telling his disciples what was needed to cast out a particular 'kind of demon'?

You have to asked him that. I don't have the slightest idea why.

And wat3r has enough nutrient to satisfy him for 19days bah?

a human being can survive without food because his/her body still has enough nutrients to sustain him/her however no human being no matter how strong he is can survive without water that's why even when you are sick the doctors will recommend you drink plenty of water

Greatex90:
Dehydration of course.
"All Humans can survive more without food than without water"

exactly

Stop all these 'show empathy' jive everytime someone dies, y'all are just huge hypocrites and pretenders

If we were truly that empathetic and reflective as a people Nigeria wouldn't be such a shit hole where we each try to rip each other off from dawn to dusk every day that God brings

I agree with you on that and that's why yorubas say eyan buruku ti ba eyan rere je. Meaning the evil people have destroyed opportunities for good people and so I understand (even though I don't support) why Nigerians lack empathy for people even in death

AmazingELixir:


Nigerians take things to the extreme back in the days when we hear or watch on tv about people blowing themselves up in countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan etc we marvelled and tell ourselves these can never happen in Nigeria because Nigerians value live.... booom!!, Boko haram happened and all that changed.

Back then we watched foreign movies and each time we hear or see drug scenes and cartels, countries like Colombia, Mexico etc pops up and we be like why are these societies somuch into drugs ......before innocent people like us could bat an eyelid Chinedu is all over the far east, Bola is in control of the west hemisphere pumping narco, hajia salamantu and Ibrahim are swallowing theirs into the middle east in the guise of pilgrimage automatically changing the dynamics completely.

Then came our amazement as we see what presents as strange people openly copulate on our tv screens and we are like ouch! Nigerians are reserved people we can never engage in scenes likes these our culture and morals forbid it....Bang!!!! BBN happened young people openly have sex on life tv shows and the ones not lucky to be called up to participate in the show take it up in public swimming pools and post it for all to see.

Now we are on the lips of every race the world over....you see us be at your utmost alert.

And their is no end in sight!

wetin he go tell God say do am?

He has gone to meet with d lord

Problem solved. His prayer is answered.

Na you tell me say
God Na my loving Father
God Na my creator
He knows my end from my beginning
He know Wetin de my heart and all the hair when de my head.
