Title: Do You Have the Fire?
Scripture Focus:
“Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.” – Romans 12:11
“Having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.” – 2 Timothy 3:5
Challenge Reflection:
The Holy Spirit is the source of strength and power for every believer. Without Him we are all but nothing. This is the crucial time to ask the pertinent question. Do I still burn for Him?
Do you wake up hungry for His presence, thirsty for His voice, and desperate for His will? Or has your fire grown cold—dampened by routine, distracted by the world, or diluted by compromise?
Pentecost wasn’t a one-day miracle. It was the divine ignition of a movement—a movement that shook the world because it was ablaze with holy fire. That same fire is available today. Not just for preachers or prophets, but for you. You were created to burn—to live in the fire of His love, the purity of His holiness, the power of His Spirit, and the purpose of His calling.
Fire changes everything. It refines, consumes, illuminates, and spreads. A believer without fire may have the form but lacks the force. Religion without the Spirit is dry tradition. Christianity without Pentecost is powerless.
So ask yourself today:
- Do I burn for God—or merely glow with memory?
- Am I consumed with His presence—or content with convenience?
- Do I live in the power of the Spirit—or just the language of it?
It’s time to return to the altar. The altar of power, renewal and revival. Wake up now and cry for the fire like never before.
Call to Action:
Build your altar again. Fan into flame the gift of God. Repent of apathy, embrace surrender, and ask for fresh fire. Don’t settle for a flicker when you were made to blaze.
Commit to a lifestyle of:
- Power – Walking in the Spirit’s boldness
- Presence – Daily intimacy with God
- Purity – Living a consecrated life
- Purpose – Advancing the Kingdom intentionally
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, rekindle Your fire in me. Burn away every trace of complacency, compromise, and coldness. Let me not settle for a form of godliness without power. I yield my heart again—consume it with Your presence. Lead me daily into Your truth, and use my life to set others ablaze. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
