34Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

Message
One faithful afternoon, Susan was playing with her friends at the backyard when suddenly a fire erupted from her house. She screamed and alerted other neighbours who assisted her in putting out the fire using a fire extinguisher.
Our Bible passage reveals to us the heroes of faith who through faith did a lot of wonderful works. Through faith, they quenched the violence of fire and escaped the edge of the sword. Their wonderful deeds made them extraordinary. If you want to be extraordinary like them, you need to walk in close relationship with God.

Susan in the story above had a good relationship with her neighbours which made them assist her to put out the fire in her house. Is there any fire in your life or family that you need to put out or is there a fire of failure or defeat that has put your back to the ground? Then, what you need is a close relationship with God so He can help you to quench whatever fire that may be raging in your life. Be prayerful, watchful and obedient to God’s word. This is the sure way to victory.

Prayer for today: Heavenly father, I pray that You quench every fire raging war in my life.
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)
