The two keywords in this topic are: Fire and Praise.
Fire is known for its ability to consume, melt and purify various
objects. From biblical perspectives, fire is used figuratively of God's
protection Zech. 2:5; God's vengeance Heb 12:2,9;God's word Jeremiah 5:14;Christ
Mal. 3:2; Holy Spirit Acts 2:3; Angels Heb.1:7; Tongue James 3:6; Persecution
Luke 12:49-53; Affliction Isaiah 43:2; Purification Isaiah 6:5-7; Love Song of
Solomon 8:6; Lustre Proverbs 6:27-28.
Praise is the expression of respect
and gratitude as an act of worship especially to God. In praising God you tell
of who He is, what He is doing and what He can do. In praising God you proclaim
His sovereignty, supremacy, superiority, immensity, purity, authority, beauty
etc. What do you do with God’s holy fire? Catch it! What for?
1. For Purity: We are gold in the hands of God purified in the fire of His word making us more acceptable to God and
we are more usable in God's hand. Malachi 2:17–3:6
2. For Power: The fire
of God falls on the believer to empower him for greater task before him. Acts 1:
8; 2:2-4.
3. For Proclamation: When the fire of God touches your tongue, it
gives you the capacity to preach, prophesy and proclaim the Gospel of our Lord
Jesus Christ. Isaiah 6: 6,7; Jer. 1: 9; 5: 14. The Holy Spirit carries the fire
of God to be who God wants for your life and do his will. To Receive the Fire:
Confess your sins, forsake them and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and
Saviour. Praise God till you are filled with the Holy Spirit.
