The stigmatics bear exactly the wound marks of the Lord Christ when He was crucified on the cross. In April 1989, the Sunday edition The Guardian did an elaborate report on the three cases in Nigeria. It was a mock re-enactment of the grand reception for the Lord Christ arranged by Resistant Movement in collusion with Judas Iscariot to entrap Him, wanting Him to lead a rebellion against Rome. By far more important, however, is the benevolent effect of true fasting on the inner man, the man himself. In fact, many who fast in this expectation are inwardly dead and do fast only out of habit.
