Day 14: The Fire Must Not Go Out

Theme Scripture

“The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.”
— Leviticus 6:13 (KJV)

Exposition

Every revival begins with fire — the fire of passion, purity, prayer, and the Holy Spirit. But as powerful as fire is, it needs fuel to keep burning. A flame left unattended will die, no matter how bright it once burned.

In the Old Testament, the priests were instructed to keep the fire on the altar continually burning. It was not a one-time event but a daily duty. They had to bring wood every morning and remove the ashes so that the flame would stay alive. Likewise, revival fire in our hearts and churches must be sustained through daily fellowship with God, repentance, obedience, and fresh encounters with His Spirit.

Many believers start strong, but over time, the fire fades. The demands of life, spiritual complacency, or unconfessed sin can extinguish what once burned brightly. True revival is not a momentary spark but a continual flame. It must be guarded, fed, and fanned.

Paul reminded Timothy, “Stir up the gift of God which is in you” (2 Timothy 1:6). The word “stir up” means “fan into flame.” You are the keeper of your altar. God provides the fire, but you must maintain it.

When the fire of God burns continuously in a person, everything around them is transformed—cold hearts are warmed, darkness flees, and souls are ignited for Christ. This is the life of revival: a heart perpetually aflame for God.

Further Scripture Reading

  • Romans 12:11 – “Fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.”
  • Matthew 25:1–13 – The parable of the wise and foolish virgins.
  • 2 Timothy 1:6–7 – Stir up the gift of God within you.
  • Hebrews 12:29 – “Our God is a consuming fire.”
  • Revelation 3:15–19 – Be zealous and repent; don’t be lukewarm.

Personal Reflection

  • Is my altar of prayer still burning, or has it grown cold?
  • What fuels or feeds my spiritual fire daily?
  • What practical steps can I take to maintain a lifestyle of revival?

Love is the Way

Love is the Way  Jesus said to him, ""You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." Matt.22.37-40 Love is the summary of the Law and the entire scripture.  Where love abounds, laws and constitutions are useless.  Love is the fulfillment of the law.   - For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another! Gal.5.14-15 Love is a command. It is the Law and the commandment of God. It is not an option but a necessity.  No one can be part of God without love, because God Himself is Love.   - This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. These things I command you, that you love o...

Manifestation of the Kingdom Within

-
  Manifestation of the Kingdom Within Scripture: “ Nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.” — Luke 17:21 Devotional The kingdom of God is more than external miracles, spectacular signs, or impressive events—it is a spiritual reality that dwells within the believer . When Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is within you,” He was emphasizing that kingdom life is demonstrated through the transformation of our hearts, thoughts, and daily actions. The true evidence of the kingdom is righteousness, peace, and joy (Romans 14:17). It manifests when we choose obedience over sin, forgiveness over bitterness, and love over pride. It is displayed in our attitudes, relationships, and every decision we make. Unlike external circumstances, the kingdom within is constant, resilient, and supernatural—it cannot be shaken by trials or opposition. Living with the kingdom within means walking in God’s authority, living in alignment with ...

He is Risen

Date: Easter Sunday – April 20, 2025 <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8669748632238163"      crossorigin="anonymous"></script> Title: He Is Risen! Scripture: “ He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.” – Matthew 28:6 Devotional Thought: Easter morning dawned with the impossible made real: Jesus rose from the dead. The sealed tomb was broken open—not to let Jesus out, but to let the world in to witness victory. The silence of Saturday was shattered by resurrection power. Death lost its sting. The grave lost its hold. And hope came rushing back into the hearts of all who believed. The resurrection is not just an event—it’s a reality we live in . Because He lives, we have hope in suffering, strength in weakness, and assurance in uncertainty. It’s the foundation of our faith, the fuel for our mission, and the final word over sin and death. ...
