The Head Pastor if Potter’s family Chapel (PFC), Prophet Alex Armstrong, has advised ministers and their wives to make waiting upon God a habit to transform their ministry.
He emphasized that fasting and prayer release tremendous power, foster spiritual growth, and cultivates humility, enabling the fulfillment of one’s divine mandate.
Speaking on the topic, “The Practice of Waiting Upon God Through Fasting and Prayer” at one of the prophetic service, Prophet Armstrong highlighted the importance of waiting for God’s intervention, as reflected in Lamentations 3:25-26. He explained that waiting on God nurtures faith and strengthens one’s spiritual life, beyond just seeking answers.
He encouraged following Jesus’ example of prayer and fasting, and recommended daily and weekly practices of waiting on God such as personal retreats and using annual leave for spiritual renewal.
The head pastor clarified that fasting is not a magical formula but a way to feast on the lord, seeking comfort and hope, which leads to growth in divine character and the fruit of the spirit, saying, “we became channels through which life flows
Using David as an example from 1 Samuel 16:5, he illustrated how consistent waiting on God brought favour, making David Israel’s next king without undergoing the customary purification service. He urged ministers and their wives to plan intentional time alone with God, noting that every victory is a result of new prayer, making life and ministry easier.
Prophet Alex Armstrong wrapped up his presentation by urging believers to earnestly dedicate time to fasting and prayer, despite their busy schedules, in order to cultivate a thriving ministry.
