40 Days
Wed, 12 Mar to Sun, 20 Apr
We will make space in our day to look to God.
We will seek Him through the reading of His word (using a daily devotional provided), and fasting one meal a day.
We highly recommend using the daily devotional via YouVersion Bible app that’s available for free download on Apple App Store or Google Play Store. This Bible app allows you to track your progress, experience the devotional with your cell community and share thoughts with one another.
Both devotional and fasting guides provide practical handles on how your time with the Lord can be meaningful.
“For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.”
Deuteronomy 4:24
Dear RiverLifers & Friends,
Our annual season of prayer and fasting began in 2023 after our senior leadership was convicted by the Lord to call the church to consecrate ourselves yearly for an extended period leading to Resurrection Sunday.
During this period of consecration, we desire to know the Lord Jesus experientially through the Word and Prayer.
This year, we are stretching our consecration journey to 40 days (from 12 Mar to 20 Apr) whilst still gathering daily for corporate prayer in the last 21 days.
Over the 40 days, we will do the following:
1. Daily Devotion based on the book of John (provided by RiverLife),
2. Daily Fasting (one meal a day) and abstaining from anything that distracts our heart,
3. Nightly Gatherings for 21 days from 31 Mar to 20 Apr (except for weekends – when we will gather after our various worship services)
Let’s go on this exciting journey with Him – I’m praying that you will encounter our God of so much more during this season of consecration!
