FIRE EXPOSES


Thursday, January 21, 2010



MEMORIZE: “A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about” (Psalm 97:3)




READ: Acts 5:1-11



“A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about” (Psalm 97:3). Our God is a Consuming Fire. According to Psalm 97:1-3, whenever God is embarking on a journey, the despatch riders on His entourage are fire. When God arises, His enemies will be scattered (Psalm 68:1-2). If some pastors would have their way, they would not allow any witch or wizard to come into their local church. Don’t stop them from coming because some of them may want to be free. But those who refuse to quit their evil deeds or link with the spirit of witchcraft will be consumed by the fire in you. This is why you must be on fire for God. If a witch can look at you eye ball to eye ball and ignore you, it means there is no fire in you.



The church is a spiritual clinic were the worst cases are treated. Spiritual cases which conventional hospitals cannot cure, are treated in the presence of God without money. It is therefore the ‘super’ general hospital with lots of impossible ailments being referred to it by the best of teaching hospitals. Is your church such a spiritual clinic? If the fire of God is lacking, many sick people brought there would return home with their problems. In Acts 5:1-11, a couple who tried to deceive their pastor was buried that same day because fire was present in the Early Church. While preaching one day, there was some kind of commotion in the congregation.



This was unusual. A woman was on her heels and some ushers went after her. At the end of the service, they brought her to me and she confessed that while the sermon was on, her dress caught fire. We prayed a simple prayer and on reaching home, she passed out a dead snake. From that day, she was rid of her satanic powers and became free. In a church vigil sometime ago, a member of the choir encountered the fire of the Holy Ghost and she confessed that she was a member of a satanic group whose leader was their choir mistress. This lady, along with other members of the choir were initiated and assigned to seduce the ministers. Until that fiery exposure, the congregation had basked in satanic anointing without knowing it. May the Lord set you on fire and expose the secrets that have been covered. Ensure however that you are not covering up anything or else the fire will expose you.




ACTION POINT: Ask the fire of the Holy Spirit to expose every hidden thing in the church today.
