In a recent video on YouTube, Pastor David Ibiyeomie of Salvation Ministries called on Christians to recognize the critical role of fasting and prayer in overcoming spiritual adversities. Addressing the congregation, he emphasized that even within the church, some members who claim they do not fast may not be fully committed to their faith.
He warned that some individuals within the church might be compromising their faith by seeking assistance from both religious and secular or occult sources. He further stressed that fasting is essential for genuine spiritual dedication and integrity.
According to him, "In this world of demons, my friend! Fast oo! Even some in Church who you see (that) don't fast, they are not very clean oo. Those of them in Church: “I no dey fast!” It's a lie oo. They put one hand for free medicine, put one hand for Church. Nobody in this Kingdom whose hands are totally with God that will not fast. Anyone in Church and say: “I no dey fast,” it's a lie! What is Christianity? He has two places he is… but to be totally with God, you must fast and pray to subdue those forces."
