EXHORTATION FOR THE DAY (1st September 2014) Baptism Of Fire The reason many undergo deliverance almost everyday is lack of fire of the Holy Spirit in their lives. The moment you possess fire, it marks an end to the harassment of evil forces in your life and your life would constitute a danger to the powers of darkness. Acts 2:3 says, And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. Fire is the symbol of the Power and Presence of God. It is the only thing that will convince the world of the awesome power of God. The unbelieving world wants to see the demonstration of the power of God. Apostle Paul said, And my speech and preaching was not in enticing words of mans wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of Power; that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men but in the power of God (2 Corinthians 2:4-5). This is a powerful statement. Paul had received the fire of God. He was immersed in fire. To do the work of God effectively and to be His witness, we need to be immersed in fire. It is possible to be baptized with the Holy Spirit, speak in tongues and not have fire. It is possible to be baptized in water and not have fire. As believers we have talked enough. We have held seminars and conferences that have not affected the world. What we need now is to get fresh fire and demonstrate the power of God to a dying world. The Church was born with fire on the Day of Pentecost and it must live and grow with this fire! As ministers of God, we must pray to become flames of fire (Hebrews 1:7), so that we can give light to the world. We need to be consumed with the zeal to do Gods work. His words have to be like fire shut up in our bones (Jeremiah 20:9). In this end times, the only way the evil stronghold in many lives will be destroyed is by fire. The enemy has to be disgraced. O Lord, send Your fire into our lives! SHALOM! Acts 2:1-5, 12 KJV And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. [2] And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. [3] And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. [4] And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. [5] And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. [12] And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
