CHARACTERISTICS OF A FIRE CARRIER
SCRIPTURE: 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… – 2 Kings 1:10
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Fresh fire makes a person to face what others fear.
The fire of the Holy Ghost is behind the making of generational impact that cannot be erased. It is the Holy Ghost fire that imparts a life with the capacity to release potentials. That is why “Firelessness” equals uselessness.
Now, a person who carries the fire of the Holy Ghost has a character. A closer observation of the life of Elijah, a man of fire, can help us pull out the basic characteristics of a person of fire.
1. A person who carries fire does not look for external motivation: Elijah was a tireless, passionate, fervent, and enthusiastic person. When you have come to the point where you start looking for external encouragement, you are in need of the fire of the Holy Ghost. A person of fire is self-motivated and self-encouraged. He does not have the capacity to settle behind failures, mistakes, or defeats.
2. A person of fire is a fearless risk-taker: Elijah told God that he was the only remaining prophet of God in Israel yet they sought his life, but God said, “Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, …” (1 Kings 19:14-18). This means there were other prophets but they had no audacity to speak out like Elijah.
Fresh fire makes a person face what others fear. People on fire like Elijah literarily enjoy confrontation. Every time there is a confrontation with the forces of darkness, what they carry inside of them is stirred up.
Remember this: Fresh fire makes a person face what others fear.
ASSIGNMENT (S):
1. Pray in the Holy Ghost always for the maintenance of fresh fire.
2. Feed on the Word of God daily.
3. Never turn away from any battle.
