FASTING: Release the Increase


It is God’s will to bless His people. God wants to bring increase to your life. Fasting helps release the increase.

Do you believe that God is your source? Are you ready for increase? Increase in your closeness to God and your family. Increase in your joy. Increase in your finances and your business.
