Word of God clearly says in TOBIT 12:8-- Prayer with fasting is good, but better than both is almsgiving with righteousness. A little with righteousness is better than wealth with wrongdoing. It is better to give alms than to lay up gold.
God's word clearly says that righteousness and almsgiving is better than fasting and praying.
We all go to church or retreats or prayer meeting week after week and get blessed by God in many ways but the question we need to ask ourselves is whether we are growing in righteousness and generosity.
If we are not generous in giving alms then surely we are selfish keeping everything to ourself which we will lose one or the other day or leave it for others when we die.
We have to cultivate a lifestyle of giving rather than receiving. We need to look around us for people who are going through problems. If we help them in their need God will help us in our need.
To grow in righteousness is not easy as we think but the road is very difficult that's why only few walk in it. To grow in righteousness we first need to know the Word of God thoroughly and secondly we have to practice applying the Word of God in our daily life so that we may grow in righteousness.
We also have to cultivate a life of prayer daily and also fast every week in designated days that is Wednesday or Friday or Saturday or all 3 days. When we do fasting and prayer we grow in God's knowledge faster.
Let us get ourself involved in prayers,fasting, almsgiving and righteous life by doing this all the works of the enemy and selfishness will be destroyed from our life and help us to grow in Godliness.
