When describing a Christian who is passionate about their faith in Jesus, we might say they are “on fire for God.” We are saying they are fervent and zealous about their relationship with Jesus. You would likely agree that this intense and passionate pursuit of Jesus has to be maintained. We have to intentionally stoke the fire to keep it burning hot. If not, the fire will eventually burn out. A fire left alone will burn out. It’s only a matter of time.
Main Points:
1. I want to challenge you today to not let your spiritual fire go out. Be intentional about keeping the flames of your faith burning. Pay attention to your spiritual life. If you ignore it, if you neglect it, the flames will go out.
2. If there was a time in your life when your fire for God burned hotter than it does today, there is still hope. Put another log on your fire. Your fire and passion for God can be reignited.
3. This is a good day for all of us to check our spiritual thermometer. What is the temperature of our relationship with God? Are we burning hot in our passion and zeal for the Lord?
Today’s Scripture Verses:
Leviticus 6:12 - “The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not go out. The priest shall burn wood on it every morning…”
Romans 12:11 - “Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.”
Matthew 22:37 - “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”
Revelation 2:5 - “Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first.”
2 Timothy 1:6 - “I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you.”
