THE NECESSITY OF GODS FIRE

WRITTEN BY DR. JOEL DABBAS

TOPIC: THE NECCESITY OF THE FIRE OF GOD

SCRIPTURE: Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him:… And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty | 2 Kings 1:9-10

FIRE DEMATERIALIZES THINGS

"He must increase, but I must decrease" John 3:30. The more fire increases the more materials gives way. The materials of self and sin are eliminated by the fire of God.

FIRE COOKS

"Then 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." Isaiah 6:5
Let me state what Isaiah said in a more literal way or in my own language. I feel he was saying "Lord i am not cooked." Then God sent down coals of fire to touch his lips. The meaning of this is that God needs to convert you from your raw state to a cooked state to become useful to the Kingdom and it will take only His fire to do that.

FIRE PURIFIES

"But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? 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." Malachi 3:2-3
One proof of encounter with the fire of God is purity. Gold will never be valuable if it does not pass through fire. The quality of your Christian life is in your purity. You are not for God if defilement exists in you. Inpurity repels God from men.


THE FIRE OF GOD IS AN ATTRACTANT

Nothing captures attention like fire
It gives urgency
Moses was attracted by Gods fire.
Firelessness breeds spiritual carelessness and broods uselessness. Moses was born to deliver Isreal, he was the one ordained to bring to pass the prophecy apoken over 400 years before he was born, but he was wasting in the desert of Ethiopia until he encountered fire. There are people who are engaged with the wrong things that is outrightly out of divine course for their lives, an encounter with Gods fire will correct it.

THE FIRE OF GOD ENERGIZES FOR UNCOMMON RESULTS

First crusade after Christ left to heaven had no poster, no advert, no jingle. It all started with fire landing and certain prepared vessels. Nations gathered that day and God harvested 3,000 souls. Unprecedented result and feat was achieved.
Won't you want this fire? It is my daily prayer to keep experiencing and been baptized in Gods fire.

TO SILENT INTIMIDATION AND HARASSMENT
From our anchor text we observe that the fire of God is a stamp your authority and audacity. It is a signature of who we are in God. Elijah said "If i be a man of God, let fire descend." There are satanic kings who are constantly sending their emissaries to intimidate and capture those who are standing as voice for God in territories and generations. It will only take having the fire of God silent their intimidation and harassment.

REMEMBER, makes us useful to God, and turn you into a force.

TOPIC: DOORS THAT NO MAN CAN SHUT

SCRIPTURE: I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name | Revelation 3:8

I once wanted to visit a certain nation for ministry. I had this passion to reach the youths there with the word of God but suddenly the ministry that my representative there got in touch with started asking for many things i can't define. Thereby trying to make it difficult. Maybe probably because they have never known my ministry or person. Because you must understand especially as a minister that when your person and your ministry is accepted impact is easy.
And that door was shut. Later on door to that same nation opened without asking. God indeed open doors. You might have tried several times to break even and you keep bouncing back to square zero, i need you to know that God can open doors.
What are doors?
Doors are opportunities
Doors speak of breakthrough
Doors talks of access
The meaning therefore is that: when God open doors for you, it is God giving you opportunity by Himself, breakthroughs by Himself and access all by Himself.

Three (3) things that characterizes the God kind of open doors:

1. No man can shut it

They can fight it but they can't close it. They fought the destiny of Joseph for many years but he ended where God had opened years ago in the spirit for him.

2. Man is powerless when God opens doors for you

Mans influence can be amazing. Imagine it was herodias influence that ended the ministry and life of John the Baptist. But listen, the influence, connection and power of man is immaterial when God opens doors for you.

3. The hand of God is upon the door

From our anchor text God said "I will open doors that no man can shut." This explains why it can't be shut. The hand of God is on that door, His signature and finger print is on the doors He opens for you. No devil is devilish enough to remove Gods label from the things He is doing for you.

I decree upon your life, God ordained doors are opening for you in marriage, business, opportunities, ministry, territories, education, job and so on.
Any force that have closed your life in, and any area of your life that have been closed by the enemy the light of God is opening it for you now in Jesus name.

REMEMBER, any door God has opened or is opening for you, no devil is devilish enough to shut it.

WHAT TO DO: Ask God for His finger prints upon your life.

QUOTE: "No door is pronounced closed, no case is pronounced over, nothing is ended when God hasn't said so" - Dr Joel Dabbas

"The verdict of God cannot be edited by any devil. His yes is stronger the nay of the devil" - Dr. Joel Dabbas

PROPHETIC PRAYER: O Lord, breakthrough and come through for me this year. Redefine and decorate my life with Your glory in Jesus name.

YOU WANT TO GIVE YOUR LIFE TO JESUS

SAY THIS PRAYER: 

Lord Jesus, by Your work on Calvary i come before You acknowledging that i am a sinner and a lost soul. By Your love and mercy i confess today all my sins and i repent today to live truly for You till You return to rapture all Your saints in Jesus Name

TOPIC: KEYS TO ENJOYING PRAYER

SCRIPTURE: And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? | Matthew 26:40

Many are those that pray but few are those that pray effectively. From the anchor text Jesus went with Peter, James and John unto mount olive to pray as His execution draws nearer. But instead of standing with Him in the place of prayer, their eyes was heavier than their heart. So they kept sleeping instead of praying. This is the picture of many believers today, there are those who enjoy prayer and there are those who simply endure prayer. To the later, prayer is a burden to them. So they give prayer a mechanical like approach. But the truth is that prayer can be enjoyed and should enjoyed because:-

1. Prayer is a relationship building system

Spiritual relationship is built with God on the platform of prayer. Prayer is communication with God, it is a spiritual interaction between divinity and humanity.
The lifewire for any thriving and successful relationship is hinged on communication. Relationship decay is inevitable when communication is not available. God wants a living, breathing relationship with YOU.

2. Prayer is a the facility of the Spirit where men test run the weapon of faith

The unit that measures the efficacy and quality of prayer is faith. E.M. Bounds states that "When faith ceases to pray, it ceases to live."

Let me show you secrets on how to enjoy praying: 

1. Build A Prayer Culture

If prayer is not your genuine culture, it will rupture. Prayer culture is building a prayer discipline. Build a prayer system and sustain it. Make it a habbit. Practice praying.
"Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him" Luke 22:39 (NIV).

2. Have A Good Relationship With God

The presence of sin steals the energy, desire and joy of communing with the Father.

3. Ask The Holy Spirit To Partner With You 

You and the Holy Spirit in the place of prayer is not only enjoyable but highly ecstatic.
First, be filled with the Holy Spirit. Have a deep relationship with Him. One of the constant activities of the Holy Spirit is prayer (Romans 8:26-27). Depend and connect with the Holy Spirit. The Spirit stirs up our spirit to commune with the Father. And the Holy Spirit helps us to pray too. You can't have the Holy Spirit and don't desire and hunger for prayer.

4. Put Your Heart Into Praying

The devils tricks is to make the hearts of men wander while in the place of prayer thereby making them loose the essence of prayer and consequently loose out on the result of praying. Your heart cannot be wandering in the place of prayer and you will expect to receive the wonders of prayer.

5. Develop And Generate A Quenchless Longing And Hunger For God

When you have a quantum desire for God, communicating with Him will never become an issue. 
"As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?" Psalm 42:1-2

6. Pray With Scriptures

"Take with you words, and turn to the Lord : say unto him..." Hosea 14:2. Take Scriptures with you as you come to God. I have discovered that when one prays using Scriptures, i receive an energy deep within me because as i pray it, i receive expanded revelation from God in the process it fuels more prayer. So the word is like an atomic bomb, it causes a continous chemical/praying reaction.

7. Generate Desire For The Supernatural

If you desire the Supernatural encounter it will drive you into enjoyable praying. One day Jesus took Peter, James and John unto the mount of transfiguration and by the supernatural encounters they had, Peter exclaimed that they should build and stay there (Matthew 17:1-7). The meaning of this is that the supernatural fires you to stay in the place of prayer.

REMEMBER THAT, there are people who enjoy praying and those who endure praying.

WHAT TO DO: Use the points listed as a guide to having an enjoyable prayer life.

QUOTE: "The only way to counteract the devil is to interact with God" - Dr. Joel Dabbas

PROPHETIC PRAYER: O Lord, i need You more and more each day. I receive unquenchable hunger and desire for You in Jesus' Name.

IF YOU WANT TO GIVE YOUR LIFE TO JESUS

SAY THIS PRAYER: Lord Jesus, by Your work on Calvary i come before You acknowledging that i am a sinner and a lost soul. By Your love and mercy i confess today all my sins and i repent today to live truly for You till You return to rapture all Your saints in Jesus Name

TREASURE OF GRACE WRITTEN BY DR. JOEL DABBAS

TOPIC: THE GOD THAT ANSWERS BY FIRE

SCRIPTURE: And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord : and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken | 1 Kings 18:24

In Scripture we see divers manifestations of God. One of which is fire. Infact, fire is not just an attribute of God but the personality of God. Hebrews 12:29 stated in very clear terms that "Our God is a consuming fire." Also when John the Beloved encoutered Jesus in Revelation 1:14 he said that "...His eyes were like flames of fire." This establishes that our God is and can operate in the form of fire.
From our anchor Scripture, Elijah said and i paraphrase "Just call on your God and i will call on mine, the God that answers by fire is The Real and True God." The meaning of this is simple, there is a way God will show or display Himself by You before men that no devil anywhere will be able to disprove the reality and genuineness of God.
To me it is mind blowing and very assuring that God answers and it is even more amazingly strikingly that He answers by fire.
What did Elijah mean when he said the God who answers by fire?
1. He meant the God that shows power.
2. The God that shows results. The only one who can send the fire to change and transform is God. The devil also sends fire but to destroy people’s life: to kill, steal and destroy. But God is the one that sends the fire to transform, refine and redefine destinies. Gods fire can consume the fires of the devil.
3. Fire is a symbol of who God is – His purity, His perfection, His passion: So Elijah was on the mission of purifying the idolatrous nation and the only way is when the fire of God can destroy the altar of wickedness and unrighteousness.
The fire of God comes down for two reasons:
1) To transform you inside: Talking about you being baptized with the Holy Spirit.
2) To transform you on the outside in your physical life.
The truth is that no one, no district or place ever experiences the fire of YAWEH and remains the same.
Every fire, is lighted by somebody or caused by something. The meaning is that every fire has a source but not our God, He 'autogenerates' Himself. This means that He is God all by Himself. Elijah had interacted so much with God that he had encountered the fire form of God that is why he commanded the fire dimension of God often. Because one of the laws of the Spirit is that you can command or factor in what you can see. That is to say your revelation fuels your action and confirms your reality.
Finally, the fire of God is His energy, His vigor, His excitement, His drive. A burning, a yearning that defines who God is. A supreme, overwhelming personality that fuels everything He does. That means the God that answers by fire means God that answers by His own self.
I pray for you today, you will encounter the God that answers by fire. Any altar and demonic priests standing over your destiny and family be destroyed by the fire from Gods throne today in Jesus' Name.
REMEMBER, our God is fire!

WHAT TO DO: Ask God to express Himself to you, in your life and before others in a very special way.

QUOTE: "A Godless generation is a fireless generation" - Dr. Joel Dabbas

"You cannot be full of God and not be full of fire. Fire is the trademark of the God-kind" - Dr. Joel Dabbas

TOPIC: THE GOD THAT ANSWERS

SCRIPTURE: And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord : and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken - 1 Kings 18:24 

Everyday and everywhere questions keep arrising that demands urgent answers. Some answers can be far reaching and carries "atomic" like effect in that it has massive effect. Some answers can settle generational questions, that can produce generational and even transgenerational rest; it can give answers to national issues and so forth. No matter the issues and the questions sorrounding your life, God has the right and absolute answer to them all.

From our anchor text, there are two set of people: those who were looking up to Baal for answers and another calling on God for answers. The former cried from morning until evening, cutting and injuring themselves in search of answers but didn't receive any. But as soon as Elijah called unto God there was an instant answer. The meaning is that: there are those looking for answers from the wrong source, answers from where answers don't exist.

Child of God, the questions might be overwhelming but God has the answer.

The pain might be excruciating beloved God has the healing.

The result might be shameful and awful but God can turn every mess around.

Your assignment today is to call unto Him and He will answer you.

I decree supernatural happenings in your life from today. Receive supernatural and unprecedented answers to any age long questions in Jesus' Name.

REMEMBER, God answers.

WHAT TO DO: Set your heart on the God of all answers. Trust in Him to deliver answers to that puzzle(s) of your life

QUOTE: "Not all answers brings solutions, some answers are just mere paliatives but Gods' answer(s) is/are eternally absolute" - Dr. Joel Dabbas

TOPIC: GOD WHO ENLARGES ME

 TEXT:"God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant." Genesis 9:27

God has no business with smallness, He does not want you small in anyway. God did not design your destiny to be small. 

From the anchor text note that:

 1.God has the capacity to enlarge you:

"God shall enlarge Japheth..." 

That ministry, business, gifting, influence and so on can be enlarged by God. The meaning of this is that wherever God is found enlargement/expansion will be the order of the day.

 2. The impact of supernatural expansion is visible and notable:

"...he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant."

The effect of supernatural expansion is visible and feelable. It is undeniable.

The anointing and grace that makes men bigger than what they use to be. That power that enlarged the territories of Jabez is coming upon you in Jesus' name.

 PRAYER : I decree that no limit and stagnancy in my life in Jesus name.
