Opening Text: Leviticus 6:12-13 say, “And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings. The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.”
The Message:
In the Old Testament, the Priests were instructed by Papa God to keep the fire going on at the altar. They were to pay attention to it. That required putting wood on it daily and ensuring it did not go out. However, in those days the Priests failed to keep the fire burning.
The same kind of constant attention is required to keep the light of God’s Holy Spirit alive in your own heart and mind. A fire left to itself will eventually go out. One of the surest ways to quench the Holy Spirit is through simple neglect! Neglect of prayer and study. Neglect the Holy Spirit, and it will become dormant.
Your growth today will be very much assessed by which fire you allow to burn in your heart. No one knew this better than Paul. Paul was a Pharisee who initially went against the church of Christ before Christ saved him. From that time onward he became radical for the gospel of Christ.
You need to be regularly filled by the Holy Spirit. I heard many believers prayed for double anointing. This is wrong. You also should not ask for more anointing. God gave you the anointing without measure. John 3: 34 ‘For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.’What you need is to be filled by the spirit. You do this by studying God’s word, speaking in tongue, worshiping and praising God etc. Get yourself stirred up today and refuse to be cold. Remain hot for the Lord. Amen.
Paul was always filled with the Holy Spirit, and he became a crucial weapon against the fiery darts of Satan. Paul was used of God to keep Christian conscious of their needs to let the fire burn within. He wrote, “Quench not the Spirit.” This is a warning Christians need to hear in every age, for Christian can throw a wet blanket on the fire of the Spirit, and the result will be that the fires of Satan will burn with greater intensity.
The fires of hell running wild today is due to Christians quenching the superior fires of heaven.
