Burning - The True Fire of His Spirit

in #busy6 years ago

What does it mean to burn for God?

The Fire of God

Is it having a very heated passion for God's work? or faithfulness in church? or elongated prayers and study of the Bible? What really brings that true fire of God that made Apostle Paul so radical for God he said "I will spend and be spent for you", that made Jesus burn all the way to the cross, then to the throne where He is seated in glory and power, don't we all have the same Spirit that brings the fire, why should our story be any different?
Why faithfulness in God's work, prayers and study of the Bible has their place in the life of a burning Christian, it is not essentially what being on fire for God means. I have seen Christians have elongated prayer and study sessions of the bible, faithful in the work of God and church and yet they are still fallen by the way side, struggling with sin and held captive by it, which is not supposed to be so, the Bible says "Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet (Hebrews 2:8 KJV)" also in "For he hath put all things under his feet(2 Corinthians 15:27 KJV)"it is written twice meaning it is established. If we really are like Him that means we also have triumphed over all things, but if you do not come to the understanding of what the fire of God means and how to acquire and maintain this fire, you will struggle all your life with little result.

The More Excellent Way (The True Fire of God)

Love is the Answer

The Bible says our God is love (1 John 4:8 KJV), if something is something, it means its entirety, totality, being is exactly that thing, so this means that all that can be found in God is love, and all that can be found in love is God. If you say you love your wife or children or brother and you cannot find the love of God in her, or your children or brother, you really don't understand love and do not love them at all. We also see in scriptures that God is a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29 KJV). Now, lets do some simple arithmetic

God = love
God = A consuming fire, therefore
LOVE = A CONSUMING FIRE

This revelation may look simple but if you do not come to this understanding as a son of God, you will enter or fall into temptation and backslide. We are beings birthed in love and absolute beings of love, we called to do no other than thing than to love. If God has called you into a business, you have to love it, love what you do for it to prosper. If He has called you into ministry, you have to love the ministry, with all the people in it for it to prosper. If God has brought you to this life, you have to love this life to live it to the fullest. Love is the ultimate, Love is overall, it transcends hope and faith, it is the true fire, the excellent way of God.

How Do I Get Filled With This Love of God

His Word is Fire

The first step is to want it, if you have read this write-up to this point it means the love of God is already being birthed in you, but you must not stop here, you must crazily desire it every single day spending time worshiping, meditating and praying in spirit. Remember is word of God is like as a fire, so everything thing you do has to come from revelations from God through the scripture if you want to be on fire. The way to know and understand and act like love is to be with love. God is love, so spending time in his presence, you are transformed into that same in image (2 Corinthians 3:18), we keep beholding till it consumes our l entire, we never stop beholding the love of God, for therein lies the fire and the power of God. The love of God purifies your character, Galatians 5:22 becomes your daily watchword and life and creates in you a power to draw all men to God.

Demonstrating His Love

We are not to stop here, we are to spread His love. If we really understand the love of God, we cannot see our brother perishing and be stone cold towards it, we are to spread the fire of God by preaching his word, this is the only mandate God has given us. A soulwinner really understands the heart of God because soulwinning is the heartbeat of God, remain a soldier for Christ because it is those with their armor of love fully girded on the battlefield of life that will make heaven. Find time in your daily routines to intercede for souls, and take out time to preach the gospel to all men, anyone the spirit leads you to and God's blessing will abound ever more in your life.
Remember Jesus's words in Luke 10:27, God only requires two things from us - we are to love him with all our being, and to love others with a fierce love equal to that which we exert on ourselves. So if you are reading this, and you do not love yourself, you must learn to love yourself because you are the exact likeness of God, the highest being in the universe, remember that.

GOD BLESS YOU WITH ALL THE BLESSINGS OF HIMSELF. AMEN.
