Read: ( 1 Kings 18:36-39 KJV)
36 And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that
Elijah the prophet came near, and said, Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and of
Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy
servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.
37 Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the Lord
God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.
38 Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the
wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the
trench.
39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The
Lord, he is the God; the Lord, he is the God.

MESSAGE:
The term “fire of God” is often used symbolically in the Bible to portray the
presence of God, the power of God, His judgement, His purifying work and as
His emblem of the anointing. In today’s Bible reading, the fire of God was
presented as a symbol of His presence and power. It is highly desirable to
witness the presence of God, the outpouring of His anointing and the
manifestation of His power. Whenever God decides to reveal Himself through
any one of these means, natural laws become temporarily suspended, and
miracles, signs and wonders of great magnitude always occur. Consequently,
the children of God should always seek such special opportunities to experience
the supernatural.
However, if you want the fire of God to fall, you must be ready to pay the price.
You can see in today’s reading that Prophet Elijah took some deliberate steps
before He called for the fire of God to fall. First, he waited for the appointed time
of worship before he commenced with the repairs of the altar of the Lord that
was broken down. He then rebuilt the altar in the Name of the Lord. Next, he
did everything orderly and meticulously, following divine instructions. Thereafter,
he called upon the Name of the Lord in prayer and thanksgiving, and God
answered by fire.
If you want God’s fire to fall, you must first repair and rebuild the altar of God in
your life. You must present yourself before God as a living sacrifice without any
iota of blemish ( Romans 12:1 ), and be a true worshipper who worships God in
spirit and in truth. You need to adhere strictly to the instructions of God as
contained in the Bible, and then you must learn to wait patiently for God. Note
that there was a waiting before the fire fell at Pentecost ( Acts 1:4 )
The benefits of the fire of God cannot be over emphasised. It brings overflowing
anointing, divine revelation, healing, miracles, signs and wonders. It leads to the
suspension of the laws of nature and a transition into the realm of the
supernatural. It makes you a terror to the kingdom of darkness and a true
servant and representative of the Most High God. May the fire of God fall
mightily upon you today in the Name of Jesus.
