THE FIRE FELL
Memorise: Then the fire of
the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones,
and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. 1 Kings 18:38
A careful study of the scriptures shows that each time
that God answered prayers by fire; it was because there was something on the
ground that the fire needed to consume. Twice, fire came down to destroy the
enemies of God when they tried to humiliate His servant, Elijah. For a reader
of this devotional, whatever has been humiliating you in time past is consumed
by fire now, in Jesus’ Name. We see situations in the Bible where Elijah would
pronounce an unfavourable decree in the presence of a king and leave unharmed.
They could not arrest Him because he was carry fire. Whenever God is on your
side, He will paralyse your enemies physically and mentally. They would be
watching as you are escaping.
“There shall no evil befall
thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his
angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up
in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.” Psalm 91:10-12
Stones are often symbols of impossibilities and can
also represent hindrances in many situations. God knows that without Him
helping you, you can dash your foot against stones. He has therefore made up
His mind that the fire of the Holy Spirit shall destroy every stone causing
obstructions and failure on your path. When you have God behind you, there is
nothing to fear. You can stand boldly and say “ I am here”. The son of a leader
of witches become angry. With the consent of his mother, they sent a dog laced
with charms to go and kill him. On the night of the attack, the boy was praying
as led by the Holy Spirit. When the dog entered the fully locked house, the boy
could only call the Name of Jesus, and the dog collapsed and died. The
following morning, the witches found their dog being roasted by the boy. The
Name of Jesus will deal with any enemy that comes against you. If you are
already born-again, search your life, and if there is any area where you are
not at peace with God, settle with Him right away. Settle with Him if you have not
been praying or reading your Bible the
way you ought to be doing. Promise Him that things will change and you will do
His will perfectly. Ask Him to forgive you and ask for a new beginning. Do not
allow the devil put any block between you and your miracle. Settle with God in
every area you are still failing Him.
He will be merciful unto you.
Prayer point
Father, all things that will
not allow you to perfect your will for my life, consume them by your fire.
