The Fresh Fire

The prodigal son got his inheritance, lavished it and came back. He satisfied himself and was taken back into the household but he did not really know his father. I am exposing these things because you need to re-organise your spiritual priorities and allow God to do the main thing in your life. It is possible to claim every thing in the Bible and even have it but one should first ask what God wants one to heave and then be sure that it is used to the glory of His Name. Ask where He wants you to go, rather than just claim the word that says: “He shall give you any where that the sole of your feet shall tread.” Do you know where He wants you to tread in the first place? Do you know that it is possible to obtain from God, what He does not really want from you? It is possible, if you do not allow Him to have His way in your life. It is possible when you squeeze it out of His hands. However, it is better for you to wait for God to give you that which pleases Him, that which He knows is good for you at the right time and to the glory of His Name. You need His Fresh Fire, to be able to know and remain where He wants you to be.

Psalm 106:13-15:

“They soon forgat His works; they waited not for his counsel: but lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. And He gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.”

The last part of this text is sad but true. Many people go about consulting herbalists and when they see that they are not making a headway, they will now go to the church and instead of waiting on the Lord, they want to use Him as a more powerful fetish. That is why you will see some people who are living in sin but have ‘holy water’, anointing oil, and even their Bible under the pillow, for protection. Such people want the gift of God but are rejecting the Giver Himself. There was a herbalist who recommended MFM stickers to motorcyclists. He asked them to stick it on their machines that they would make good sales and would not be involved in accidents. Of course it will work for them but he is out there, not accepting Christ into his life but he is serving as signpost; pointing the way out and not getting out himself.

It is possible for a person to perform wonders without being pure. The Bible says that many people will get to the gates of heaven and they will say that they prophesied and worked miracles in the Name of the Lord but the Lord will turn them down and call them workers of iniquity. It is possible to see visions without wisdom, experience the manifestation of God’s power in a gathering, without having a penetration of heart. It is possible to seek popularity, without having a depth in the things of the Lord. All these amount to nothing without you having the Fire of God in your life. It is possible for a person to have anointing but without character, it amounts to nothing. Character is who you really are in the depths of your inner being, in the dark. It is possible to listen to different messages and different preachers but if you do not obey what the Lord ministers to you through those messages, it is a waste of time. It is possible to sing about the power of God but the most important thing is to get that power in you.
