God is FIRE!

Consider these words from Reinhard Bonnke:

After Moses had met the living God, he had everything still to learn about him. The day before the divine appearance in the desert, neither he nor anybody else knew anything, or very little, about God; they did not even know God’s name. However, God immediately sent Moses out on that tremendous exodus venture and gave him the assurance that “I am who I am” (Ex 3:14). Meeting God is all we need to get us going. Moses would find out who God was as he went along, seeing him at work – and that is our experience today. What God does is what he is; he never acts out of character. And the fundamental revelation is that God is fire.

Fire demonstrates God’s nature but does not explain everything about him. Fire is far more than an outward show of God’s glory or splendor. It displays his disposition, his infinite greatness, the central source of hope and life in the universe. Our best enthusiasm makes us no more than a smoldering wick alongside him, the eternal sun of righteousness. He is passionate in action. For example, three times in the Bible we read, “The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this” (2 Kings 19:31, Isa 9:7, Isa 37:32).

That is God. To be his friends we must think big, think on a worldwide scale. The sector to which we are allocated may be small but the Lord puts us where he wants us and gives us allies greater than all the enemy, on the victory front. We are God’s sons, commissioned ambassadors, demanding surrender to the King of kings. Are you blessed?

Our God will be a consuming fire this next week at SOLUTION!

Praying now!
