JESUS LOVES YOU!!!

 


LETS PRAY 🙏

 1 Kings  18:46 (KJV) And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel. May the hand of the LORD come upon you for speed today, that your story will change to the glory of His name in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

DATE: SUNDAY MARCH 10TH, 2024.


THEME: WHEN FIRE FALLS


MEMORISE: 

And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.   

Leviticus 10:2


READ: Leviticus 10:1-5 

1 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.


2 And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.


3 Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.


4 And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.


5 So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said.


MESSAGE

When you are in a service, and everyone is praying that fire should fall, you must beware, because when the fire of God falls, some people die, and some others rejoice. When the fire of God falls, those who do not belong to Him are consumed, while those who belong to Him are empowered.


In Daniel 3:19-30, when they threw Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego into the fire, their yokes were destroyed  by the fire, they walked out of the fire into promotion, but those who were not on the side of the Lord that go close to that fire were consumed.


Some years ago, as I was preaching during a service, the fire of God fell. While people were getting their healings, a woman ran out of the service. From outside the hall, she beckoned on the fellow she came with to bring her bag so that she could go home. Surprised, the fellow asked her why she couldn't come in to get her bag herself, and she said that there was fire in the place, and she couldn't come in for fear of being burnt. When the fire of God comes down, while it brings healings and promotions to God's children, it can destroy those who are not on the Lord's side. So, before you join those who are asking for fire to fall, if you are not already on God's side, please cross over.


I should also note that sometimes, the fire of God comes down unexpectedly in the middle of a service. Even the preacher may be unaware that God is about to rain down fire. When the fire falls, only those who are on Christ's side will be safe. The reason I chose the passage in our Bible reading for today is that I want to speak particularly to those who are workers in the church and who are still dipping their hands into sin. Surrender your lie completely to the Lord Jesus Christ because if you are standing by when the fire begins to fall, and you are not on the Lord's side, the result might not be very pleasant.


God usually gives room for repentance, but that is until His fire falls. The day the fire falls is the day of consequences - there is no repentance after that. Many are nursing diseases and other terrible issues because when the fire of God fell, they were not on His side.


PRAYER POINT

Father, please forgive me of every sin I have committed against You. Please help me to be on Your side at all times, in Jesus' name.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Joshua 21-22


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 26: THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS 


1 There shall be showers of blessing:

This is the promise of love;

There shall be seasons refreshing,

Sent from the Savior above.


Refrain

Showers of blessing,

Showers of blessing we need;

Mercy-drops round us are falling,

But for the showers we plead.


2 There shall be showers of blessing—

Precious reviving again;

Over the hills and the valleys,

Sound of abundance of rain.


3 There shall be showers of blessing;

Send them upon us, O Lord!

Grant to us now a refreshing;

Come, and now honor Thy Word.


4 There shall be showers of blessing;

O that today they might fall,

Now as to God we’re confessing,

Now as on Jesus we call!


5 There shall be showers of blessing,

If we but trust and obey;

There shall be seasons refreshing,

If we let God have His way.

JESUS LOVES YOU!!!

 


LETS PRAY 🙏

 Acts 12:23 (KJV)  And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost. May every forces of darkness and wickedness assigned to hinder your breakthrough and progress receive the judgment of God in the order of Herod in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

THEME: A BRUSH WITH FIRE


MEMORISE: 

And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. 

Exodus 3:5


READ: Exodus 3:1-5 


1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.


2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.


3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.


4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses,  Moses. And he said, Here am I.


5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.


MESSAGE

In 1 Kings 19:19, as Elijah was passing by Elisha, he cast his mantle upon him, and from that day, Elisha's life never remained the same. Anything that the Holy Spirit has touched has been touched by fire, and when fire touches something it changes permanently.


Exodus 3:1-5 tells us that the fire of God touched the ground of that backside of the desert, and from that moment onward, God called it holy ground. When Moses got there, God told him to take off his shoes because the ordinary soil He had touched had become holy ground.


Exodus 4:1-20 tells us how holy the ground was, because everything that touched that ground also changed permanently, such that in verse 20, the Bible says:


And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.


After the encounter with the fire of God, Moses left for Egypt, and amongst all the things he took, he took the rod of God. The ordinary rod of a shepherd had now become the rod of God because it touched the holy ground.


Some years ago, a woman fell so ill that the doctors said that there was nothing they could do to help her. Her children were advised to take her home so she could die with her family around her. The woman told her children, "Don't take me home; take me to the Redeemed Christian Church of God headquarters." They told her, "Mama, but there is no service today. The pastor will not be there." She said, "1 didn't say I want to go and see the pastor; just take me there." They took her to the church, but because she was very weak, she could not walk by herself, so she asked them to help her reach one of the pillars of the building. The moment she got to the pillar and touched it, she became completely healed, and she walked back to the car herself. She experienced a brush with the fire of God through her faith, and she became healed.


There is tremendous power in anything that has touched holy ground. Don't just go for services casually, be conscious that you are going to a place of fire. When you go to your local assembly, go with expectations, and you will experience great miracles in your life.


PRAYER POINT

Father, the next time I come into Your presence, please don't let me go back home the same way I came, in Jesus ‘name.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Joshua 18-20
