6 Types of People You Must Have Encountered During the January Fast

What does not happen in January? From practically everything expiring and the exhausting cycle of endless renewals to facing the financial music of that one time you decided to spoil yourself a little during ‘Detty December': January unleashes more than ten plagues!

With this tempest showing no signs of ever passing, Christians have polished the complete set of the whole armour and responded through a high- level belligerent approach known as the “January Fast”. Spanning across days, weeks or the entire month, the January Fast is a period where Christians across the globe do away with food and give themselves to fortification and combat against the forces of the debut month. 

As the January Fast has become a widely acclaimed sensation, so has its participants. While we reminisce the recently concluded fast, we cannot delete the mental images of the jaw- dropping personality displays we encountered.

On today's Christian metro series, permit us to introduce and reintroduce six types of people you met and will definitely meet during the January Fast;

1. The Introverts

We are yet to establish if this set of individuals avoid all forms of human communication and interactions with the intent of having their eyes strongly fixed on the goal or as an attempt to flee from all appearances of food. However, we do know these people keep to themselves throughout the fasting period.

2. The Dramatic

Loud chants, big bibles, public announcements, disclaimers and ballistic missiles playlists are the signs that follow this category of people. How can you not know they are fasting? You must also note these individuals have no business with plain/human languages in this period as they only  communicate and speak in fluent heavenly languages. You might have reconsidered sending that mail in English after all.

3,  The Vendors

These fasters aim to kill as many birds as possible with one stone. Why just fight the forces of January when you can make a fortune from them? They are always in prayer meetings: online and offline armed with propelling advertising copies to sell essentials or talk you into further wreaking damage on the same finances you are trying to redeem.

4. The Accurate Timekeepers

These individuals have mastered the times and seasons of breaking fasts. They have fool proof knowledge of how the clock works and are ever prepared to break their fast. They are famous for having a table prepared before or in the absence of their enemies, waiting for the exact hour to break: not a second goes void!

5. The Procrastinators

These individuals somehow never join the fast despite having massive plans. Each day comes with a different inexplicable reason that hinders them from participating. They are typically the most fired up and enthusiastic, alas! procrastination strikes.

6. The Content Creators

They tell it to the world! These fasters always have a ring light and digital setup lying around in anticipation for this period. We know them for a range of things: offering tips, a day in the life videos, recipes for breaking, dance and prayer challenges and controversial discourses.  

 

These personalities made this year’s spiritual hustle and bustle fun, let us see what the next year’s fast unfolds. You can always trust us to bring the gist to you.
