FLAMING FIRE
FLAMING FIRE
SCRIPTURE: Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire - Psalm 104:4
An Excerpt From The Teaching Ministry of Pastor Dr. Joel Dabbas
Now to our focal Scripture in Psalm 104:4 the Bible says that God makes His ministers ministers a flaming fire.
According to the Collins dictionary, a flaming fire means burning with or emitting flames; it is to glow brightly; brilliantly and radiantly. It also means to beam or burn with intensity or ardently; vehemently; and with great passion. Looking at these definitions it points us in two directions or are characteristic of:
1. The glory; and
2. Fervency
In other words God makes His ministers to beam His glory and He makes them fervent.
To become a flaming fire, you have to be made. That means there is a process you will need to go through with God and in God. There is a curriculum to be taken, lecture to undertake, a training and a forging that has to be done in your life.
Beloved, it is possible to burn: i mean it is possible that the vestige of your spirit being takes another form. The form of God's fire.
One nature of God is fire and to be one His true sons or daughters take on this nature.
A flaming fire is one God can give territorial assignments. A flaming fire can be a strong voice of God for his or generation. A flaming fire is a weapon for strange warfare. A flaming fire is a disaster to the kingdom of the devil.
HOW TO BE MADE INTO A FLAMING FIRE
1. Become a minister of God
This means to be ready to carry Gods message and speak it. There are alot of believers who are not ready to speak Gods message to their world and the world. They are only satisfied to sit in church every year without becoming a voice for God. There are alot of people who are ministers for themselves and their belly. They are not around to deliver Gods message to people but their own grafted message. A minister of God is a carrier of the message of God
2. Stay and be submitted to God
Every coal is a product of a wood who submitted itself to be burnt. If you don't want to stay with God and be submitted to Him, you are not ready to be made into flames of fire. In Exodus 34:27-30 KJV look at what happened to Moses
"[27] And the Lord said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
[28] And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
[29] And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him.
[30] And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him."
Moses stayed with God for 40 days and returned beaming His glory. If you stay with God and humble yourself under His hand before long you will emerge a burning flame of fire.
3. Have a genuine hunger
This drives you more into God. The more you know Him, the more you want to know Him.
4. Dedicated word and prayer life
This is are the raw materials that churn men into flames. The word of God can set you on fire for life.
Exodus 34:27-29 KJV
"[27] And the Lord said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
[28] And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
[29] And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him." Moses was with God and interacting with the Word for 40 days. Moses was receiving, writing and ingesting the word of God into His spirit for 40 days and returned burning in blazing glory. Something happens to your spirit also when you spend time with the Word like Moses did.
WHY YOU MUST BECOME A FLAMING FIRE
1. Because God will have a need of you all the time
2. Because you will also cause others to burn
When the disciples became flaming fire in Acts Chapter 2 people from different nations came to watch them burn and 3000 souls were saved. A flaming fire is highly contagious. A pastor who is already turned into a flaming fire will turn everyone in his church into burning vessels. This is a spiritual system for endless revival in the church. Any child of God who is a flaming fire will become a mobile revivalist.
3. Because the world is growing in wickedness and it will require fire to swallow all the nonsense of the enemy around
4. Because flaming fires are bold, courageous and effective
That timidity to impact your world is arrested when you are made into a flaming fire
5. Because flaming fire kills lukewarmness and slotfulness thereby increasing your passion in serving God (Romans 12:11)
It takes fire to be fervent in serving the Lord. Nothing cages and hinders one from serving God like the absence of spiritual fire
Finally, becoming a flaming fire is to become a mobile fire of God. By this you become a fire starter everywhere you go. People talk with you and their heart burn for God. I am truly hungry to be a flaming fire minister whereby any encounter with me (by the help of the Holy Spirit) just as you are having now will turn you and people into not just fire carriers but fire themselves.
I pray for you become a flaming fire in this lukewarm world in Jesus name
God bless you!!
