Beginning with FIRE

  

Text: Leviticus 6:12-13 (KJV)

The fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must not go out. Every morning the priest is to add firewood and arrange the burnt offering on the fire… The fire must be kept burning on the altar continuously; it must not go out.

Friends, we must learn to begin our adventure with a burning fire of God and not a dim zeal. Hence, when God begins a new work in our lives, He often does it by setting our hearts ablaze and rekindling our fire. So, fire represents passion, purity, power, and presence. We can see, when God called Moses, it began with fire in the burning bush. When Elijah called down heaven’s power, fire answered. When the Holy Spirit came at Pentecost, He came as tongues of fire upon the believers. Malachi 3:3 - He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver. So, let’s begin with His fire for a glorious accomplishment on every side. We should not start with emotion rather steady fire that burn in the altar and it must not go out as to ignite divine direction and purity in life. Acts 2:2-4 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.  And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.  And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Amazingly, to begin with fire means to start your walk, your vision, your career, your ministry, or your new season with a burning zeal for God.  2 Timothy 1:6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. It is this fire that consumes us for a deep focus for His will without distractions. Therefore, we don’t need mere excitement that fades away in our walk with God, but we need divine energy that sustains the journey no matter the challenges of the season. I encourage us to fan our fire again for a fulfilled life with the help of the Holy Ghost in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT: 

Oh Lord help us to start this season right, as we begin it with the fire of prayer, the fire of love, the fire of obedience, and the fire of the Holy Spirit in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, a heart on fire for God lights up every dark place and draws others toward Him.
