LET THE FIRE FALL
Memorise: In every thing give thanks:
for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1st
Thessalonians 5:18
Read: 1st Kings 18:36-39,
Bible in one year: Jeremiah 26-27, Acts 20:1-16
The term “fire of God” is often used
symbolically in the Bible to portray the presence of God, the power of God, His
judgement, His purifying work and as His emblem of the anointing. In today’s
Bible reading, the fire of God was presented as a symbol of His presence and
power. It is highly desirable to witness the presence of God, the outpouring of
His anointing and the manifestation of His power. Whenever God decides to
reveal Himself through any one of these means, natural laws become temporarily
suspended, and miracles, signs and wonders of great magnitude always occur.
Consequently, the children of God should always seek such special opportunities
to experience the supernatural.
However, if you want the fire of God to
fall, you must be ready to pay the price. You can see in today’s reading that
Prophet Elijah took some deliberate steps before He called for the fire of God
to fall. First, he waited for the appointed time of worship before he commenced
with the repairs of the altar of the Lord that was broken down. He then rebuilt
the altar in the Name of the Lord. Next, he did everything orderly and
meticulously, following divine instructions. Thereafter, he called upon the
Name of the Lord in prayer and thanksgiving, and God answered by fire.
If you want God’s fire to fall, you must
first repair and rebuild the altar of God in your life. You must present
yourself before God as a living sacrifice without any iota of blemish (Romans
12:1), and be a true worshipper who worships God in spirit and in truth. You
need to adhere strictly to the instructions of God as contained in the Bible,
and then you must learn to wait patiently for God. Note that there was a
waiting before the fire fell at Pentecost (Acts 1:4)
The benefits of the fire of God cannot
be over emphasised. It brings overflowing anointing, divine revelation,
healing, miracles, signs and wonders. It leads to the suspension of the laws of
nature and a transition into the realm of the supernatural. It makes you a
terror to the kingdom of darkness and a true servant and representative of the
Most High God. May the fire of God fall mightily upon you today in the Name of
Jesus.
Prayer Point
Jesus, You are the one who baptizes with
the Holy Ghost and with fire; please saturate my life with your fire.
