Message
Fire is important to the life of every friend of Jesus. The ‘fire’ as used in this message is not a literal fire, but the fire of God that burns in the spirit of a believer. This fire drives the believer to action. Every believer needs it to remain active and this is possible through constant prayer.

The Lord knows how important this fire is which was why He instructed the children of Israel to ensure that the fire burns continually at the altar. The fire was aimed at retaining God’s presence and to also ward off all kinds of false doctrines. In fact, God specifically instructed the priest to regularly ensure the fire was always on at the altar to keep it burning. Although the fire the children of Israel were asked to burn at the altar was a literal fire, ours today is a spiritual fire that is expected to burn ceaselessly. The fire the Lord kindles in us as Christians is gotten through the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
This will give you boldness to do exploits for the Lord and also live victoriously. Saved and sanctified children must thirst for and pray through to receive the Holy Spirit baptism. It is the fire that quickens and burns off the spiritual chaff in our life. Desire the fire of the Holy Spirit, pray for it and tarry till you are filled.

Prayer for today: Lord, I want the fire of the Holy Ghost to fall upon me.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
