I workout seven days a week and when I workout I have to do it for myself. I cannot tell my friends; hey, when you workout make sure you run a mile for me to strengthen my legs. No! It doesn’t work like that.
So it is with giving your life to Christ. You cannot give your life to Christ for someone else. Your relationship with God is yours. When you fast God is not going to impart spiritual things into the person who wants you to fast for them, he’s going to impart spiritual things in you.
It’s good to pray for people but sometimes you have to tell them, you got to do it for yourself. It may sound hard but how else are they going to know that they can get a prayer through if they are always asking someone else to pray for them.
Furthermore, it’s dangerous to always ask people to pray for you, you really don’t know what type of life they are living and their prayers just may be contaminated, they may be a stink in Gods nostrils. They may have blood on their hands.
It’s better to take a chance on yourself talking to God and see what results you yield.
In other words, you got to do this for yourself.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
