Solemn Assembly for FCC

FCC Calling for a Solemn Asembly. 2 Chron 20:
Usually a solemn assembly is summoned when there is a present or possible national crisis.
WE are calling for a solemn assembly to cover our nation and to bring renewal and breakthroughs into our individual lives, marriages, families, church, community and our nation. Young and old, children and adults, married or singles are rallied together to seek God’s face and favor through fasting and prayer. We are looking to Almighty God and our Lord Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit to be our primary source of all our living and doing. In conjunction with the National 40 days fasting and prayer we as a church " Turn to our Father in Heaven " to humble ourselves before Him in fasting and prayer every Sunday of August. After service we shall pray for about an hour and then we shall break fast together.
We have done many things in our own strength and ability, yet much of our doing has not brought forth fruits which have eternal validity. Many lives are bound in sins. Many marriages are not thriving as they should. Hearts of Christians and churches are not on fire for God. Very few Christians have the desire, discipline and delight to be engaged in prayer, fasting or meditating on God’s Word. They rather spend much time with their TVs, sports, cars, shopping etc. than the things of God. We are not living victoriously as Christians. We have a form of godliness but we do not experience any power of God working in and through our lives.
God’s promise to King Jehoshaphat in the face of great danger of invasion was " Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s " 2 Chron 20:15
God revealed to the King the enemies’ plan and instructed them on what to do.
" THE BATTLE IS NOT YOURS, BUT GOD’S "
By fasting and prayer and seeking His face, we are affirming our belief of the above truth.
"Lord, I choose to humble myself before you and acknowledge that I have been trying to live and do in my own strength instead of totally relying on You and your directions. Come and meet with me and as I humble myself to meet with You."
We see the end result of their fasting and prayer. Instead of death and defeat, they experience great victory and great rejoicing. 2 Chron 20:29-30. WE too can experience deliverance, victory and breakthroughs when we are willing to fast and pray.
