Stir Up The Fire Continually!

“And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings. 13The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.” (Leviticus 6:12,13).

The instruction given to the priest under the Law of Moses was to keep the fire burning upon the altar in the temple and never let it go out. In the New Testament, however, the altar of God is the human heart; this is where the presence of God resides. Thus, this instruction was written for our benefit as well.

The fire was ignited on the altar of your heart the moment you were filled with the Holy Spirit. That's the sanctifying fire that makes you more than a man, stirring up divine energy and ability from inside you. He empowers your words and puts life in the gospel you preach. John Wesley's daily prayer was, "Lord keep your fire burning upon the altar of my heart, and stir up thy gift in me" and so he was called the evangelist with a burning heart. This fire must also burn on the altar of your soul perpetually, for you can't face your world and win without the Holy Spirit.

The Bible says that Lot's righteous soul was vexed and the fire of his soul has started to wane as he continued to observe the lawlessness and ungodly ways of the people of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah (2 Peter 2:6-8). In the same manner, the movies you watch, the books, the newspapers and the magazines you read could reduce the anointing upon your life, and wear you out spiritually. This is what the devil seeks to achieve today; he's out there bombarding the minds of people with ungodly information through the media.

Therefore, continually stir up and rekindle the embers of the inner fire that is in you (2 Timothy 1:6). That inner fire must be fanned continually for its tendency is to burn out: fire burns to quench. Get yourself recharged in the Holy Spirit everyday and stir up the fire of the Spirit within you by praying in the Holy Spirit and living in the Word.
