WATCHMAN CATHOLIC CHARISMATIC RENEWAL MOVEMENT FIRST FRUIT FASTING FELLOWSHIP 2026 (MAY EDITION) Day 2
Theme: REMARKABLE FEASTING FOR THE RESOLUTLY FAITHFUL Texts: Esth.1:1-8; Isa.25:1-10
In the first day of the fast, we encouraged all to be positive and
optimistic, as the Lord is set to put faithful children of His in a feasting mood.
It was shown that there shall be 3 modes of divine operation based on 3 intentional feasts instituted by the Lord namely
Passover,Pentecostand
Tabernacles.
We explored the first message titled
“Freedom from the Passover”, during which it was shown that the feast which was a commemoration
of the deliverance from the bondage of Egypt, was instituted to serve as a type of the ultimate mission of the 2
nd Person in the Godhead:
liberation of mankind from the shackles of sin and Satan. That whosoever aligns with Him secures freedom wrought by Him
(Rom.6:14; 8:37; Gal.3:13,14).
Today, we shall be examining another mode of feasting for the faithful through the message titled:„
Fruitfulness,fromthePentecost‟
- Topic: FRUITFULNESS, FROM THE PENTECOST
- Subtexts: Deut.16:9-11; Acts 2:1-4
The feast of weeks/harvest/Pentecost was one of the 3 major feasts instituted by the Lord for His people (Exo.23:13-17). It was held on the 50
th day after the first day of Passover or unleavened bread (Deut.16:9- 11; Lev.23:16). It celebrates the end of the grain harvest – a form of thanksgiving (Exo.23:16).
It served as a day of joy (Deut.16:16) and expression of gratitude for the blessings of the grain harvest (cp.Lk17:17). It was hallowed by the Jews (Acts 30:16; 1Cor.16:8).
The nature of feast clearly defines it as a means of divine empowerment and fruitfulness, being
a time of offering to the Lord, and
rejoicing in appreciation of the harvest and the freedom being enjoyed (Deut.16:10-12; Pro.3:9-10; Lk.6:38; Acts 20:35; 2Cor.9:6-8).
The feast was to be a type of an era in which the 3
rd Person in the Godhead will be available to mankind to make for fruitfulness.
And as the 2
nd Person in the Godhead paid the price at the Passover, so the 3
rd Person in the Godhead arrived in fullness on the day of Pentecost. (Lk.24:49; Acts.1:4-8; 2:1-4).
He came with the emblem of divine presence – fire (Gen.15:17-18; Exo.19:17-18; 24:7; 40:38; 2Chro.7:1).
He came with the mode of divine uniqueness–fire that did not consume (Exo.3:1-2; Acts 2:3). Just as He manifests as fire without violence at given times though He is actually a consuming FIRE (Heb.12:29; Deut.4:24; 9:3, He has the ability to quench the violence of natural fire (Heb.11:34; Dan.3:23-25).
Wherever God manifests, it is counted as holy and a place of worship (Gen.28:19; Exo.3:1-5; 19:17-24; 2Chro.7:1); therefore,
with the flames of the Pentecost, the Lord was demonstrating that God’s worship space was shifting from inanimate or man-made structures to the human being (Acts 2:1-3; 1Cor.3:16-17; 6:19; 2Cor.6:16).
So the advent of the Holy Ghost on the fore ordained feast of Pentecost
marked the beginning of an era called church age or dispensation of grace, when God has chosen to dwell in man, and guide them from within (Jn.4:21-24; 14:16-17,23).
This indwelling of the Spirit escalates the bearing capacity and capability
of the disciples, hence the disciples need to wait for His arrival (Jn.15:16; cp. Acts 1:8; 2:5-11; 4:1,4,47).
Men being God‟s temples are now to be carriers of God‟s presence, radiating God‟s glory such that those that come in contact with them will have a„taste‟of His splendor (Jn.1:14; Phil.2:13-15; 1Thess.2:5-8,10; 1Pet.2:9-10).
As temples of God and hence carriers of God‟s presence, they carry the creative potentials of God dwelling in them and expected to develop the said potentials (1Pet.2:2; Phil.4:13; Gal.2:20; Rom.8:14).
As the spiritual realm rules the physical, so should one who ha developed his spiritual capacity rule the physical realm of his life (Rom.8:11; Phil.4:13; 1Jn.4:4).
With the spiritual exercises being undertaken, capacity is growing and fruitfulness in all dimensions is being developed.
