Persevere…Carry the Fire of God!

A child of God that carries the life of God without any compromise in this times have always being an enigma to the world and professing Christians alike. It is not enough to profess that we carry this life; it must become our daily lifestyle and reality, not because we want to prove something to the world but because we love and are passionate about God and ALL that concerns Him. We saw this passion in the life of Enoch. Despite the depraved times (he lived in and had a family in those wicked times), he kept the fire of God burning in his heart. God gave an instruction in Leviticus 6: 13 “A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out”. Our hearts is the altar of God now; the fire of God (passion for God) must keep burning on it and must never go out. That fire is the sign that we carry light and life in us. When you see a person without passion for God or the things of God, look for the fire. It is either quenched or about to go out! The testimony of the men of old which we love to read about is simply: ‘they carried within them the fire of God’. No matter how dire their circumstances, they were careful to not allow the fire to die within their hearts. Such men, their hearts’ desire was to fellowship with the Master; He was their inheritance.
Friend, you cannot walk with God or fulfill purpose unless you keep this fire burning in your heart. There is no in-between because being in-between or ‘lukewarm’ is our deadliest enemy and the most dangerous position of any Christ professing child of God! Do take note, the only way the fire dims is if we drift from His presence. Man was created and designed to carry the fire of God: His Presence, His Light, and Life. But man dropped this responsibility as a result of sin because it became too heavy to carry. Man started substituting fables, traditions and culture for the life of Jesus Christ. Only those that persevere will and still have this fire/light. Unfortunately you cannot just acquire it and run on your own with it. We need to draw close and walk closely with the Source so that it does not get heavy and we lay it down as others have. Friend, those that carry this fire within them are not satisfied with religious practices – such yearn for God and the reality of God. Because they seek Him, He will be found by them and He will give them their heart desire: His fellowship and He will be their inheritance. These are the sons of God that the whole world is waiting for. Sons clothed in wisdom and humility. These will do great exploits never before seen or achieved. And when the Day of Judgment comes, their testimony will be that they walked with the Lord and their fire never dimmed. What a glorious inheritance! Check the altar (heart) in you, is there fire? Put some wood on it today (Leviticus 6:12) which is the word of God. God bless you.

You Are What Matters Most To Jesus Christ

 "When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; Walk [habitually] before Me [with integrity, knowing that you are always in My presence], and be blameless and complete [in obedience to Me]" (Genesis 17:1, AMP).        A while back, I overheard a conversation between two young men; both were wondering how a person can be and remain holy in a world that daily encourages you to exhibit and enjoy every self-indulgent pleasure one desires. Of course, they knew the Scripture in Psalm 119:9-11, which describes how a young man can keep his way pure, but they feel it is increasingly becoming difficult to discern the way of the Lord from the world system. To them, many Pastors and children of God have been won over by the kingdom of darkness to subvert the principles of God as written in the Bible.           They were not wrong, in light of some of the teaching coming from the pulpits! The above ...

Finding True Love

         From the beginning of time, God Almighty has sought various means of communicating His thoughts and desires to humanity. Through the very things He has created around us, He clearly reveals His divine nature and our predestined purposes as the object of His love to those who care enough to pay attention.  His goal has always been to set men free from all that limits them from experiencing an abundant life. There is no doubt that the present life as we know it, with all its hurts, pains and heartbreak was never meant to be this way; indeed the enemy has done this.         Friends, if He created the earth with hidden and precious treasures, then how much more you? The enemy, on the other hand, has worked overtime to create things that bind, blind, limit, and ultimately stop us from fulfilling our God-given destinies. His most successful strategies are those which are subtle and appeal to our fleshly desires, just as...

The Perverted Love Of St Valentine's Day

         We live in a world where those who suppress the truth have the loudest voices. They are more persuasive in their arguments because their arguments sound logical and well-reasoned. However, the fact that an argument is loud and logical does not necessarily mean it is the truth. At the same time, the fact that an argument is loud and logical does not mean it is of God. So many claim they do not care where it originates from, but they agree with and have bought into its message. If that is your stance, then you need to hear this because what you believe and have bought into is a lie. Remember, ignorance is not bliss but a dangerous position to occupy as many ‘ignorants’ abound in hell!        The argument for celebrating St. Valentine's Day is loud and sounds logical but it is not the truth, nor is it of God! It is not of God because the love that Jesus Christ portrays carries within it the responsibility of self-sacrifice whilst that o...
