Jejum e oração
Jejum e oração são disciplinas espirituais que andam juntas. Jesus jejuou, os apóstolos jejuaram, e a Bíblia ensina que o jejum fortalece a oração e nos aproxima do coração de Deus.
O exemplo de Jesus
Jesus jejuou quarenta dias no deserto antes de iniciar seu ministério. Ele ensinou que certas coisas só acontecem com oração e jejum.
Kulengekwa kwa Ayesu
Ngapena Mboomo jwa Annoongo akaalongolea Ayesu mpaka palulemba aleengekwe na Lichetani. Ayesu akatabha machobha makomi ncheche muhi na kilo pangali kulyee choha chela, akajemeka kubhinwa na njala.

Nannobholelanga kweli, handa nhobhalilinge hata kachoko handa mbeju ja haladali, mpakombola kulilobholela litombi helyelye, ‘Libhoke pamba lijabhule papala,’ na lyenelo lipakujabhula.

O jejum nas Escrituras
Ao longo da Bíblia, grandes homens e mulheres de fé jejuaram em momentos decisivos — buscando a Deus com urgência e devoção.
O jejum que Deus escolheu
Isaías revela o jejum que agrada a Deus: soltar as cadeias da injustiça, libertar os oprimidos e repartir o pão com o faminto.
A igreja primitiva
Os apóstolos jejuavam antes de decisões importantes. O jejum acompanhava a consagração de líderes e o envio de missionários.

Praticando o jejum
Quando jejuares, unge a cabeça e lava o rosto. O jejum é entre você e Deus — não para impressionar os homens, mas para buscar ao Senhor.
