TOPIC: Fan the Flame (I)

MEMORY VERSE
For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: and that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
2 Corinthians 5:14-15

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES: Spirit-filled souls are ablaze for God. They love with a love that glows. They serve with a faith that kindles. They serve with a devotion that consumes. They hate sin with fierceness that burns. They rejoice with a joy that radiates. Love is perfected in the fire of God.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
You are dead to this world, and your new life is hidden with Christ in God.

FIRE SCRIPTURE: 1 Kings 18:1-41

PRAISE AND WORSHIP: Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 24 – 25; Revelation 5 – 6.

MFM Daily Devotional 15 August 2023 MESSAGE

If you have been born again for some years now but are not satisfied with your current spiritual state, you may think that those who are on a higher level have been naturally wired by God to be on fire for Him. And if you are not careful, such opinion may become your excuse that would make you too comfortable to make the desired change you need.

Elijah in the Bible is known for his fiery faith. He was a man with a nature like ours [with the same physical, mental, and spiritual limitations and shortcomings] (James 5:17 AMP). He came from a crude background. He was an ordinary man like many of us, but one of the things that made him extraordinary was living a fully surrendered life to God. His allegiance was to God; he promptly obeyed God and followed His will, even in life-threatening situations (1 Kings 17:1-5).

READ MFM Daily Devotional 14 August 2023 – Take the Sword of The Spirit (III)

You cannot display the kind of faith Elijah displayed if you still want to be solely in control of your life. You cannot be on fire for God if you simply “add” Jesus to your life. He needs to take over completely. He needs to be at the centre of your life.

Fan your flame of faith by completely surrendering your life to God. Seek His will first in all you do and promptly obey His instructions, and you will see what great wonders God will make out of your life, because He is ever faithful to His word.
