MOUNT UP FOR THE FIRE

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
THURSDAY, 8TH JUNE 2017

TOPIC: MOUNT UP FOR THE FIRE

SCRIPTURE: “The sight of the glory of the Lord was like a consuming fire on top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.” Exodus 24:17 

MEMORY VERSE: Luke 6:12

DIGGING DEEP: Our anchor Scripture reveals that the fire is on top of the mountain. Not in the valley. The valley amongst others represents:
a. Avenue of negative associations, idolatry and false worship (Jer. 7:32; Jer. 2:23).
b. Represents a place of depression and spiritual low levels.
c. Associated with Unfaithfulness
d. Represents the state of spiritual dryness, lifelessness and unrevived spirit (Ezekiel 37:1-14)
If staying on the mountain gives us access to the fire of God. What then is this mountain?
A. It is a place where you are alone with God: Luke 6:12 stated that Jesus "And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God"
B. It is a place of Divine revelation and insight
C. It is a place of Divine instruction
D. It is a place of Divine encounter
E. It is a place of prayer
F. A place of the word of God
Going to the moutain top was a regular habit we see in our Lord Jesus. It might not be that you go to the mountain today, but when you shut yourself from others to seek God's face, you are positioned on the mountain already.
Many are in the valley– God is going to take you to the top. Until you mount up, you can not be fired up.
Finally, consistent study of the word, prayer and fasting removes spiritual weights that pull us down and we gain velocity to climb into the mountain of supernatural fire.
I pray for you, that you will be dedicated to growing the fire of God in Jesus' name.

PRAYER: I recieve tireless commitment to keep the fire burning in Jesus' name.

COMPONENTS OF SUPERNATURAL FIRE

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
WEDNESDAY, 7TH JUNE 2017

TOPIC: COMPONENTS OF SUPERNATURAL FIRE

SCRIPTURE:“The sight of the glory of the Lord was like a consuming fire on top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.” Exodus 24:17 

MEMORY VERSE: Psalm 104:4

DIGGING DEEP: There are components or contents of the fire of God that makes it unique. This is what differentiates Divine fire from any other fire. Let me ask you? What is inside the fire of God that makes it entirely different in every way?  Let us consider three amongst others:

1. THE HOLINESS OF GOD: Isaiah 33:14 (NLT) says that"The sinners in Jerusalem shake with fear. Terror seizes the godless. "who can live with this devouring fire?” they cry. " who can survive this all-consuming fire?” God is the consuming fire (Deuteronomy 4:24), so to live around the fire of God and not be consumed or destroyed by it, means that you are holy. Holiness is a major content of the fire of God. Holiness is key to godliness: which means to possess the nature of God in the which part of it is the fire of God. You can't be holy and not carry the fire of God in you.

2. THE GLORY OF GOD: Exodus 24:17 says that "The sight of the glory of the Lord was like a consuming fire..." The glory of God is connected to the holiness of God. Anyone who wants to experience a new dimension of glory must first of all be holy. It is the beauty of God and it is what conveys the character of God to us. The glory is the prove of His presence.

3. THE WORD OF GOD: Jeremiah 23:29 says that "[Is] not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD..." 
Jeremiah 20:9 "...But [his word] was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones..." The word is the fuel for the fire of God, that is why anytime you encounter the Rhema of God's word, you literally can't sit, you might shout, jump and even lay flat on the floor. This is because the light from the word struck your spirit and fired you inside. A times it can be so strong that you don't know when you will begin to pray in tongues.

Beloved finally, we can't flow in His move and experience revival if we don't have His fire in us. The fire of God in us makes us live holy, it brings out the glory of God in us and empowers the performance of His word. In effect when we have the fire we become God's change agents and the conveyor of the revival everywhere we go.
God is indeed raising a generation that are on fire for Him and are full of His fire. Wouldn't you rather want to be in this?
I pray for you, the components of God's fire will express itself in us in Jesus' name.

PRAYER: O Lord i want to experience your glory in Jesus' name.

FIRE PROOF

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
TUESDAY, 6TH JUNE 2017

TOPIC: FIRE PROOF
SCRIPTURE: "The Lord went before them...in the pillar of fire..." - Exodus 13:21

MEMORY VERSE: Exodus 24:17

DIGGING DEEP: Encounter with the fire of God leaves you with an evidence. It leaves you with a mark. Let's see a few of it:

IT PURIFIES AND SANCTIFIES: Malachi 3:2b- 3 says that "... for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness." The fire of God is an agent of sanctification and purification.
The beauty of a person is revealed when the impurities of sin and iniquity is removed. As you encounter the fire, it burns off the garbage in you: such as bad intentions, and bad thoughts. So we are sanctified and fit for the Masters use.

ENCOUNTER WITH GOD'S FIRE BRINGS YOUR GIFTS ALIVE: Isaiah was a prophet but never knew it nor manifested this grace for years under the reign of king Uzziah. But when he encountered the fire, he began to prophesy-He needed the fire before ministry. I pray for you that anything in you lying dormant the fire of God is bringing ot alive.

IT PRODUCES UNTAMEABLE PASSION: Jeremiah 20:9 says that "Then I said, “I will not make mention of Him, nor speak anymore in His name.” But His word was in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, and I could not." There is no one who touches fire and not become restless, so it is with this fire from above. When it touches you, you become restless, you begin to move around and not sit on one spot.

GENERATES THE ENERGY TO SEEK AND KNOW GOD INTIMATELY: Moses saw the fire and he turned aside to see and decided to come closer to it (Exodus 3:3-4) and then GOD spoke and he heard Him. That was the genesis of his intimacy with God.
Constantly seeking God is the secret to successful Christian life. The more you seek God, the more passion He will release in you to seek Him. The only way you will find the desire and passion to seek Him more is in His presence.

IT MAKES YOU ABLE TO PERFORM SIGNS AND WONDERS: Immediately the disciples recieved fire from heaven, they started working miracles.

IT STIMULATES REVIVAL: Luke 4:18 says that:
"The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed." Let me paraphrase it this way. The fire of God is upon me and it is energizing me to preach the gospel, to heal, give sight and bring freedom. In essence the fire upon you energizes you to help others experience God.

IT PROVIDES BOLDNESS: The presence of the fire of God destroys every form of timidity and cowardliness.
Being in God’s presence produces boldness. Through the fire of God Peter who was uneducated spoke boldily to people, the disciples spoke before kings. This fire was the secret of Elijahs' boldness before the wicked king Ahab.

Stories was said of William Branham of how he was very timid, shy and withdrawn; he literally hides behind the pulpit. The way he even talks was incredible boring so to say.
But when the power of God fell on him, he literally change him into another person, bold, and courageous.
I listened to Reinhard Bonke said that the reason he is very passionate for the souls in Africa and why he had the drive of evangelizing Africa was that "when you embrace the fire, you can't sit down." I see you rising up today.

PRAYER: O Lord let there be proof that i have caught Your fire today in Jesus' name.

HOW TO GET THE FIRE OF GOD

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
MONNDAY, 5TH JUNE 2017

TOPIC: HOW TO GET THE FIRE OF GOD  

SCRIPTURE: I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service - Romans 12:1

MEMORY VERSE: Romans 12:11

DIGGING DEEP: Today we will observe one of the greatest weapons or keys to attracting the fire of God. There is a major relationship between a life of sacrifice and the fire of God. The place of sacrifice is the venue for the fire of God. This is because from time immemorial, whenever sacrifice is placed on an altar fire comes. So the absence of sacrifice is the absence of fire.

The major requirement for God's fire upon our lives, is living a sacrificed life unto God. Studying through the Scripture you will never find fire falling before presenting a sacrifice. Without sacrifice, there is no fire.

The epitome of sacrifice is Jesus. He gave his life sacrificially; when He had nothing else to give, He gave Himself. Sacrifice is the power to lay down your all and indeed your life unto God. Until you lay it down you can't have the fire of God upon you.

Living a sacrificed life is living your life without your influence in it. It is living your life without your agenda in it. It is allowing God to control everything about your life. That was what Apostle meant when he said that "it is no longer i that lives but Christ that lives in me, the life i now live in the body, i live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me." A sacrificed life is one living under the influence of God.
Our anchor Scripture states that we should present ourselves as a living sacrifice. The highest form of sacrifice you can give unto God is to give your self unto Him. If you can give your body (flesh) to Him then you can enjoy the flow of grace, the anointing and the energy of His Spirit.

The degree to which you sacrifice will be the degree of the fire of God upon your life!
I want you to say this: "Lord, i release myself unto you burn in me. Everything and anything in my life that hinders your fire be it ego, addiction, and any form of flesh's activities is placed before you today burn it all away and burn in me like never before in Jesus' name.

PRAYER: O Lord i make a commitment to be on fire for you daily in Jesus' name.

ENCOUNTERING SUPERNATURAL FIRE

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
SUNDAY, 4TH JUNE 2017

TOPIC: ENCOUNTERING SUPERNATURAL FIRE

SCRIPTURE: 1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 
2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
5Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.
6Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 
7he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
Isaiah 6:1-7

MEMORY VERSE: Isaiah 6:7

DIGGING DEEP: The reason why many today complain and give God excuses for their in abilities, shy away from the power and move of God is because they have not encountered the fire of God. The fire of God is irresistable and propelling.
Scripture is loaded with examples of people who encountered the fire of God. For instance:
1.  Moses had encounter with God in the burning bush and his assignment and mantle was released. Moses' destiny and identity was unveiled supernaturally by encounter with the fire of God(Exodus 3:2). He ended four hundred years old bondage that had ravaged Isreal.
2. Gideon was hidding from the enemies that have been ravaging his people and ransacking their harvest. The angel of the Lord appeared unto him and told him how mighty he is and what God wants to use him for. But Gideon kept playing hide and seek until the fire appeared (Judges 6:21); after that encounter he built an altar and started raising armies. If you don't contact the fire you can't raise a generation that will do the  extraordinary and achieve uncommon things for God.
3. The Apostles encoutered the fire of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1-2) and it was reported that they turned the world upside down. They healed the sick, raised the dead, got people baptised in the Holy Ghost and much more. This fire made them rugged and fervent in serving God.
Our anchor Scripture reveals that the fire of God ends excuses. The fire purges and purifies.
Finally, many major prophetic voices are products of fire encounter. This voices are  declaring a great move of God that is breaking forth in cities and nations. This move of God's fire is sweeping across the earth, burning up anything the enemy have set up or revealed in systems and societies hence revealing the presence and power of the Lord and His kingdom in remarkable ways.
It won't just be pockets of fire but it will be large engulfing nations and regions,  setting them ablaze with the reality of God so that everyone everywhere has a chance to tangibly Divine encounter and know His love, His goodness and the reality of His salvation.
I pray that you, encounter Divine fire.

PRAYER: O Lord, use me as your agent of change in Jesus' name.
I recieve the fire of the Holy Spirit now in Jesus' name

MAKING OF FIREBRANDS

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
SATURDAY, 3RD JUNE 2017

TOPIC: MAKING OF FIREBRANDS

SCRIPTURE: I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to hear: he shall baptize you with Holy Ghost and with fire:
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner, but he will burn up with unquenchable fire - Matthew 3:11-12

MEMORY VERSE: Revelation 11:5

DIGGING DEEP: There is a difference between the ministry of Jesus and His assignment while He was physically on earth. His assignment was to come die as a sacrificial lamb for the sins of the world. And the purpose was to raise children unto the Lord, and coheirs of the kingdom. But on His way to accomplishing that purpose, He was going about running with a ministry. The ministry was the platform on which He showed man who God is, taught the people, delivered and set the captives free. Jesus died and ressurected fulfilling His assignment but the ministry still bears heavy weight upon the lives of people all over the world today.
No one simply described the ministry of Jesus' like John the Baptist. He said two valuable things of great importance:
a. The personality of Jesus: "but he that cometh after me is mightier than I..." This was well proven in the ministry of Christ. He did mighty things (Matthew 13:54, Mark 6:14) and He is still doing it today through His sons and daughters here on earth.
b. The component of the ministry: "...he shall baptize you with Holy Ghost and with fire..." 
I want to let you know that the fire of the Holy Spirit is erupting in nations today, God is raising fire brands and a fire generation who will not be lukewarm, tepid and non enthusiastic about God. People who love the Lord with passion, and pursue God with unquenchable desire, they don't succumb to battles nor pressures to fulfil the pleasures of flesh, but are tough and powerful.
HOW ARE FIREBRANDS MADE? 
1. ACCEPT JESUS: If you have given your life to Jesus do you know what you carry in your inner core? You carry the unquenchable, powerful fire of God. You are simply a mobile fire. Just like the birds of Samson was lite and carried fire (Judges 15:5) so are you.
2. STAY UNDER HIS TOUCH:  "Whose fan is in his hand..." If you truly release yourself to the Lord this fire burns in you until you get to meet the Lord who is described as fire Himself.
Our text reveals that there is a fan in His hand that is used to fan the fire in us. If you keep staying under His touch, He will fan you until you become a blazing fire. Every fan provides breeze (wind so to say) and this is the person of the Holy Spirit (John 3:8). I see a burning generation rising and you will be a part of this in Jeaus' name.
Finally, the fire will take off the chaff of sin, the chaff of wickedness, curses and so on. This is done so that we are spotless before the Most Holy God.
Say this "O Lord, fan your flame alive in me, burn in me now and always until i become a true fire brand in Jesus' name."

PRAYER: O Lord set me on fire for you in Jesus' name.
My Lord, burn away every chaff of unforgiveness, malice, lies, coveteousness and every hidden sin in me now in Jesus' name.
By the fire of the Holy Spirit, i burn off addiction (name it) out of my life in Jesus' name.

INTEGRITY AND FAVOUR

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
FRIDAY, 2ND JUNE 2017

TOPIC: INTEGRITY AND FAVOUR

SCRIPTURE: By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever - Psalm 41:11-13

MEMORY VERSE: Proverbs 11:3

DIGGING DEEP: We live in a society where iniquity is clebrated above righteousness. A world that has largely abandoned moral standards and Christian/godly principles.
But God longs for His people to be different—to maintain a commitment to His standards, no matter what the cost is.
Integrity means to integrate Gods commands and values into your daily living. It is operating the standard of God everywhere, anyday and anytime.
A person of integrity is the same person in private that he or she is in public. It means that a person of integrity does not have a two faced existence.
Integrity is the value of your personality. It is the networth of your person.
Integrity is a major booster of  perception: how you are percieved determines how you are recieved, and  how you are recieved determines what you will recieve.
Integrity defines your character, your character defines who you are and your character either brings about question mark or an exclammation mark.
Beloved, it is better that your character brings an exclammation of praise and glory back to God and the secret to this is your integrity.
If your stand is solid, it means that your integrity is solid: because if the integrity of a building is compromised calamity is unavoidable. So to avoid calamity in life and destiny, integrity is very vital.
Our anchor Scripture reveals that favour becomes your trademark when you operate in integrity. Integrity can activate favour upon your life. A person who lacks integrity, lacks character and the absence of character makes people and God detaste you hence the absence of favour. A man or woman of integrity is a delight.
Daniel and his friends determined in their heart to keep the integrity of Gods cammands by not defiling themselves with the kings meat and drinks By this Daniel 1:9 says that "...God had caused the official to show favor and compassion to Daniel" (NIV). You cannot have integrity and not carry favour.
I decree upon you that as you begin to operate in integrity, may the favour of God rest upon you in Jesus' name.

PRAYER: O Lord, i break any wrong personality and identity that my lack of integrity has formed in Jesus' name
I begin to operate in integrity from now in Jesus' name.
