In a stirring message delivered by Apostle Dr. Michael Mband, believers are reminded of their divine inheritance and heritage as kings and priests in God’s kingdom. The message centers on the vital spiritual disciplines of prayer and fasting as the arena where believers actively claim and take hold of their breakthrough inheritance. This message, titled "Breakthrough Wonders in Prayer and Fasting," powerfully exhorts Christians to understand and embrace their authority, their fight, and their victory in the spiritual realm.
A Breakthrough Heritage in the Kingdom
Apostle Dr. Michael Mband begins by affirming that breakthrough is a believer’s heritage—an inheritance rather than a mere request or plea. Referencing Revelation 5:9-10, he highlights that through Christ's redemption, believers are made "kings and priests" who are meant to reign on earth. This inheritance is not earned passively; instead, it is a right that must be actively pursued and taken. "The kingdom of God is not given; it is taken," he emphasizes, encouraging believers to arise in their authority with confidence and diligence.
The Call to Spiritual Warfare Through Prayer and Fasting
The apostle draws attention to the biblical call for believers to engage in spiritual warfare practically by adopting disciplines such as prayer and fasting. He cites Mark 10:17, where a young man asks how to inherit eternal life, demonstrating that knowing the inheritance demands action. 1 Timothy 1:18 speaks of the need to "war a good warfare," underscoring that the inheritance is assured in God’s word but requires believers to fight for it. Ephesians 6:10-18 is referenced as Apostle Mband lays out the full armor of God—the spiritual weapons Christians must put on to withstand the devil’s schemes. This armor includes truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the word of God, all wielded through persistent prayer and supplication. He further cites 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, emphasizing that believers’ weapons are spiritual and mighty through God for pulling down strongholds and taking captive every thought to Christ’s obedience.
The Power of Prayer and Fasting to Unlock Supernatural Breakthrough
Apostle Mband brings special attention to the teaching in Matthew 17:21, "This kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting," to highlight how powerful deliverance and breakthrough are tied to these spiritual disciplines. He points to biblical heroes such as Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, Moses, and Joshua as examples of those who fasted and prayed to access divine breakthroughs. Isaiah 58 is powerfully quoted to show the blessings that accompany true fasting: light breaking forth, health springing speedily, righteousness going before, and the glory of the Lord being a reward. The apostle explains how fasting and prayer not only break yokes but release burdens and bring freedom.
A Call to Persevere and Fight the Great War
Apostle Mband warns believers not to sell their birthright for a "morsel of meat," referencing Hebrews 12:16 and the story of Esau. This warning calls Christians not to settle for small battles but to recognize they are engaged in a great war befitting their status as kings and priests. His message culminates with a clear charge to "stand up and fight the war," reinforcing that believers must deliberately and vigorously pursue their spiritual inheritance with prayer, fasting, and warfare.
This powerful sermon by Apostle Dr. Michael Mband encapsulates a profound spiritual truth: breakthrough is not merely something to be hoped for; it is a kingdom inheritance that must be spiritually fought for through the disciplined spiritual practices of prayer and fasting. Believers are reminded to exercise their authority, put on the full armor of God, and press into their divine heritage with courage and perseverance.
For all who seek to walk in the fullness of their inheritance in Christ, Apostle Mband’s message serves as an authoritative call to spiritual engagement, motivating every Christian to embrace prayer and fasting as the gateway to supernatural breakthrough and victory.
May this message inspire all readers on Apostle Dr. Michael Mband’s blog to rise up in their royal priesthood and claim their breakthrough heritage in the kingdom of God.
