Is Fasting Beneficial?

Its fourteen days into the year and if you are a Christian like me, your Church has probably declared some days of fasting and prayers!

Fasting what??? Oh, how some of us dread that word and come up with all sorts of excuses to avoid it!

 Then there are all the terminologies associated with fasting like :


  • Dry fasting, 
  • Wet fasting, 
  • 6am to 6pm fast, 
  • fruit fast 
  • Ramadan fast
  • And even a hunger strike (fasting without praying) etc.
