Fire Extinguishers II

Bible Reading in one Year: Psalms 106-108

Last time we saw one enemy of the burning flames of God's power in the life of the believer. We will go ahead to examine a few others. First, you can lose the fire by inconsistent prayer life. You pray for one hour today, you pray for two hours tomorrow, you pray for ten minutes thereafter you can't keep the fire that way. The fire of God must be kept consistently. And the only way it can burn is by ensuring that you are consistent with it. Be consistent with your prayer life.

Don't let anything easily distract you from your hour of prayer, be it official assignment, domestic chores, activities in the house e.t.c. let people know you that when it comes to the time of your devotion with God you are consistent, nobody can take it from you. When you are not consistent in your prayer life you lose your fire.
So also with insufficient prayer life. What we are referring to here is the quantity of prayer. Can you imagine you bring up a Christian for five solid years and his whole prayer time in a day is not more than thirty minutes? You have been a Christian for three years and people still need to remind you about prayer meetings and Bible studies; it is not sufficient. Jesus asked His disciples how come you can’t keep watch with me for an hour. That is the minimum. A believer should pursue it. Whether you break it to thirty minutes, fifteen minutes or three times a day minimum for you to be able to say I keep my fire on; you must be able to say by the grace of God I kept my watch for one hour. But for some, one hour prayer is the beginning of prayer. With insufficient prayer, you can not possess anything.

Thirdly, wrong environment does not allow fire. If you put on your candle light and you stay outside, it will quench. Mind where you carry your fire to, mind who your friends are. Wrong environment quenches fire, anywhere there is water fire cannot stay; mind your friends that are water- fire extinguishers. If you have a life partner that is a fire extinguisher escape, don't because of marriage go to hell. You have a very good friend in school very caring but he is a sinner, escape! It is better to die in poverty than to collect all the help on the face of the earth and go to hell. Some, your best friends are unbelievers, first class die hard unbelievers who don't believe in your way of life nor the God you serve. Those who have no morality, no standard. No direction. If you walk with them, you will live like them. Watch out for fire extinguishers. They are everywhere these days.

Prayer/Action
* Ask God to help you keep your faith in this season of negative influences.
* Pray that you will not live a careless, and reckless life.
* Ask God to quicken you in the place of prayer until the bow of steel can be broken by your hand.

Fire Extinguishers I

No matter the pleasure that sin gives you, it is temporary. And the punishment at the end of it is greater. So why stay in a thing that you will enjoy for a moment and it will end and despite the fact that it was short lived, you still pay for it dearly. First, sin breaks you away from your contact with God who is the source of your loss and when you break your contact with God, you cannot possess the blessing of Abraham.
Moreover, a sinner is an abomination before God whether in church or out of church; he cannot inherit anything of God. Whether he is a tongue talker or not, so far he is a sinner he will not possess any inheritance. If you are in sin, you cannot possess anything. You can do it secretly and think nobody knows, if you do not settle with the Lord, you are in trouble. Nobody may talk about it, you may even not have punishment, but can a man keep fire in his blossom and not be burnt? If you must possess your possession you must acquire the fire of God because the fire is the only thing that your enemy cannot resist. No grass resists fire. Let's see a few of the many things that can quench the fire of God's spirit right on the altar of our hearts. You can lose your fire by being a talkative. There are certain things that are not directly sin, but bring forth sin.
Talking is not a sin, but when you lose control over your ability to talk, you step into sin and you lose your contact with your possession. This year, your possession will reach you, but friend, be careful with your tongue. Be careful with some expensive jokes, jokes that can make you lose your spiritual defence and sensitivity. All things should be done decently and moderately. A believer is careful where he is even with his tongue. The Bible says the tongue is a little fire and it can destroy everything you have accumulated; one unguided, misused sentence out of your mouth could destroy the rest of your life. One single talk more than necessary for the rest of your life you could be struggling to correct it and you will never be able to because words are like egg when they drop to the ground; you never can put it together again. Beloved, mind what you say, mind how much you say. Your tongue among other things can be your fire extinguisher.

Prayer/Action
* Pray that you will be sensitive to things that can truncate your faith.
* Pray that your tongue will not be a fire to destroy your destiny.
* Pray that your tongue will be a source of blessing to you and everyone around you.

A New Song II

Bible Reading in one Year: Psalms 100-102

Songs are powerful testimonies. The psalms and songs of David are still some of the most powerful musical literature today because they were not composed out of fiction but were by-products of encounters! The encounters that will make your story a best seller and your songs a must dance will catch up with you now in Jesus name. There are songs men write but there are songs that God gives. It is the song of the Lord that lasts forever. Y our blessing will endure.

The sound of your song will not fade out but it will stand out! All you need is one new song, not two but one. The one miracle that will settle certain things in your life permanently is a new song. Receive it now in Jesus name! The doctor might have been chorusing a song of hopelessness but I superimpose the song of total healing over your life now in Jesus name. From our anchor text, we see the gravity of the miracle the Lord gave His people. It was so much that they were both laughing and singing at the same time. What a Joy! Joy unspeakable is coming your way this year in Jesus name. God has a habit of embarrassing His children with glorious breakthroughs.

I don't care how long you have waited, this time around, your turn around will be embarrassing; it will be too good to be true! The Kind of favour that will make you a wonder to yourself and to the world around you will locate you now in Jesus name. You have cried too long, right now I reschedule you for singing instead of crying and beauty instead of ashes and the joy of the Lord instead of mourning. The devil will not rejoice over you anymore.

Every area of your life where you have danced to the enemy's tone, let power change hand in the name of Jesus. God is the song and laughter filler. He did it before, He can do it again. Take your own in Jesus name. When God is through with you, even the trees and mountains will dance and clap their hands and even your enemies will dance with you. It is your season of new songs.

Prayer/Action
*Pray that the season of pain, sadness and setback ends for you.
*Declare that it is your season of new songs.
*Declare that your life will attract people to know and glorify God.
Begin to sing songs of victory and greatness. ?

A New Song I

Text: Psa. 40:3
More Lesson: Psa. 89:15-1
Bible Reading in one Year: Psalms 97-99

It's impossible to separate joy and rejoicing from singing and dancing. Songs are the most natural products of the outbursts of joy or pain, that’ s why even crying is singing a song, inaudible as it may be, it fits all the characteristics of a song. The evidence of breakthrough is the new song you sing. Figuratively, everybody is singing a certain song. It's either the song of pleasure or the song of pain, the song of peace or songs of war, songs of faith and hope or songs of fear and depression. Songs are expressions of our present experience.

I declare that this year, God will give you a miracle that will cause you to break out into singing in Jesus name. You are coming out of that circumstance with songs of victory in Jesus name! Our God is a God of new songs. David the psalmist (Psa. 46) puts it like this; He gives songs in the mid-night! Looks at the children of Israel after 430 years of bondage, God gave them a new song to sing. The scriptures records that Moses, even though he was a stammerer composed a new song and taught all of God's people as they sang songs of victory.

That same God that can modulate and re vamp a 430 year old song of torment and captivity to choruses of Joy will turn to you now! I prophecy that it is your turn for a miracle in Jesus mighty name. The only songs that would be heard from your tabernacle this year will be songs of Joy and celebration in Jesus name.

When Jesus our saviour was born, angels appeared in the clouds and sang a new song. I decree and declare that in the name of Jesus by angelic arrangement, the announcement of your new song will be heard on the mountain tops for all the world to see in Jesus name. For every new season of your life God has a new song for you to sing. There is a song for every season. There is a song you must sing this season, and every pharaoh of darkness that has snuffed the song out of your mouth, may the hand of God snuff life out of them in Jesus name. It's enough of dancing to the enemy's tune. Arise, sing a new song in Jesus name.

Prayer/Action
*Thank God for the gift of a new song.
*Pray for God to give you a song that is capable of turning every sorrow in your life to songs of praise.
*Pray against every plan of the enemy to make you sing songs of sorrow and shame.
