LET FIRE FALL !

The time for empty religion is fast disappearing. The enemy (devil) actually knows those to fear, and those not to fear. The demons said to the sons of sceva, “Paul I know, Jesus I know, but who are you? “ (Acts 19:14). Also the Jews could not withstand the power with which Stephen spoke. He was too hot for them to handle. If you are in a Pentecostal church, you must have a Pentecostal experience and there must be a touch of heaven upon your life that others will see and they will know that you have been dinning with the almighty God. It is not possible for the almighty to be in someone’s life and it will remain the old same way. No something must happen to you positively. The bible says when the disciples gathered together in the upper room, cloven tongues of fire fell on them. The men and women watching them knew that something has happened to them. “How hear we our languages spoken by these people who are Hebrews?” some who wanted to deceive themselves said they were filled with new wine. But the men answered, “We are not drunk, this is that which was written.” That which is written must come to pass in our lives in Jesus name. Amen.

It is not an easy thing to confront the Goliath. Neither will it be easy to cut off his head but as a fire person, you must desire to go beyond these stages. So, you have to confront Goliath, cut off his head and display it like a trophy. David said, “You philistine, this is the head of your champion.

Beloved, you can’t read this message and pray the prayer points in it and not have enough fire. In 1 kings 18:36, we have the description of a fireman. It was a terrible period in Israel, jezebel the witchcraft woman had taken over the land and the altar of God had been broken down. The worship of Jehovah God had been abandoned; his prophets imprisoned and were fed with bread and water. It was a time when God was put at the tail and the people of Israel were doing what they wanted. It was a period of absolute darkness. It was a terrible time. In the midst of their backsliding came the fire man and he called for a contest. 1 king 18: and the people of Israel were doing what they wanted. It was a period of absolute darkness. It was a terrible time. In the midst of their backsliding came the fire man and he called for a contest.

1 kings 18:6-37 says “And it came to pass, at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near and said, “Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that You are God in Israel and I am Your servant, and that I have done all these things at Your word. Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that You are the Lord God, and that You have turned their hearts back to You again.”

That prayer did not last one minute. Verse 38-39 says “Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench. Now when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, “The Lord, He is God! The Lord, He is God!” there was no controversy again. They saw it because god used the fire man to perform.

In 2 kings 1, there was trouble again. The king had a sickness and he went to consult demons. So, Elijah said to the messenger of the king that the king shall die. The king heard it and said, “me? You will die first.” He decided to arrest Elijah. Verse 9-10 says “Then the king sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty men. So he went up to him; and there he was, sitting on the top of a hill. And he spoke to him: “Man of God, the king has said, ‘Come down!, So Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, “If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men.” And fire came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty. Fifty one persons roasted on the floor. The enemy still did not give up. The enemy does not go on sabbatical leave. One would have thought that after fifty one persons roasted, they would leave the man alone but look at what verses 11 -12 says “Then he sent to him another captain of fifty with his fifty men.And he answered and said to him: “Man of God, thus has the king said, ‘Come down quickly!, So Elijah answered and said to them, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men.” And the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty. Another fifty one making a hundred and two people roasted on the floor because someone said, “if am a man of God, let fire from heaven come down.” But they did not give up but sent a third group of a captain fifty with his fifty. But this third captain had some home training. He went on his knees and fell before Elijah. Your enemies shall bow down before you, in Jesus name. They did not bow down in a hurry. The man came and saw the soldiers like roasted beef on the ground. He was there when they were sent out to arrest Elijah and he knew that if he was not careful, he and his own men would go the same way others went. So he bowed down before the man of God. He besought Elijah and said to him, “o man of God, I beg you, let my life and the life of these fifty men be precious in thy sight. Verse 14-15 says, “And the angel of the Lord said to Elijah, “Go down with him; do not be afraid of him.” So he arose and went down with him to the king.Then he said to him, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of His word? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but you shall surely die.’’ The man of fire.

For over 250 times in the scriptures, it appeared as if the devil was in control because of his noise and revival but on each occasion, God showed up. Sometimes, it looked as if everything was gone, as if there was no hope at all. God showed up and said “mr devil, I am still here you cannot go ahead with what you are doing.
