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.

The Quarry Site Experience

Have you ever visited a quarry site and considered the process the rocks are subjected to before they become dressed stones to be used? If the stones could talk they will have a story to tell about their experiences.  As children of God we go through diverse experiences and we wonder if we will indeed survive them. Sometimes we wonder why our gracious and compassionate Father would allow such to befall us considering who we are in Him and what we are doing in His vineyard.  The Scripture that should readily come to our minds in such circumstances is God’s assurance when He said: “I will be with you when you pass through the waters, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. You will not be scorched when you walk through the fire and the flame will not burn you ” (Isaiah 43:2). This Scripture assures us that through the experiences of flames and waters, God is always by our side to see us through.  Thus, it is necessary for us to go through the...

Are You A True Disciple? Part 1

       This decade opened with very dire straits for mankind, as many people around the world woke up to a world that stood still as each nation shut their borders, homes and institutions shutting their doors. If many had been told this scenario could happen a couple of decades ago, one would say it was crazily impossible. But it did happen! Many lives and livelihoods were destroyed, and many institutions and lifestyles, including the Church, were affected. As terrible as the times were and still are, it is exposing the hearts and state of many 'sons of God'!         Many wondered aloud, 'What does the devil want for causing all this havoc?' And some went further to ask, 'What does God want?' The answer to both questions is 'Man' (male and female)! It is a battle between the Kingdom of God and darkness for the soul of man. As a result, man is being prepared both by God and the devil for eternity with either!         ...

It Is Time To Raise A Cry For Nigeria!

  "The voice said, “Cry out!” And he said, “What shall I cry?” “All flesh is grass, And all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades, Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it; Surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever” (Isaiah 40:6-8).         Listening to a brother detailing how Nigeria will be great again because it was foretold decades ago, I quieted down in my spirit to listen to him. According to him, the prophecies of old say that Nigeria will become a beacon of God's light to the rest of the world as they carry His Word to the rest of the world, especially in Africa. He enumerated the many qualities of Nigeria, especially the spiritual significance of her position within the continent of Africa. She will be used by God to trigger the last move of revival in the last days, he continued.         I listened attentively,...
