THE SEED
“And of the Angels he saith, who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire” Hebrews 1:7
“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us” (2 Cor. 4:7). For God to use earthen vessels, He must first add His fire. When fire comes in contact with any of God’s chosen ones, the yoke on the fellow will be roasted. God cannot call you His minister if you cannot go and liberate captives. God has reasons for releasing fire on His minister before sending him out. First, anointing attracts attacks from the enemy’s camp, and even from unserious minded Christians. In Judges 15: 11-14, the anointing on Samson caused his townsmen to tie him and deliver him to his external enemies. But when the fire of the Holy Spirit came on him, the ropes were roasted. Revival generates persecution. God also makes his ministers fire because fire purifies. According to Malachi 3:1-3, God wants to purify His ministers before assigning them task so that the enemy will not be able to access them. When ministers spend a whole night casting out one demon, it is because there is no fire power. Acts 19:11-12 says ordinary handkerchiefs that touched the body of Paul had enough fire to heal the sick and cast out demons. How many demons have you casted out since you believed? Do you have the fire of God in you? If there is one thing you must possess this year, it is the fire of the Holy Spirit. The moment it comes on you, you can no more be hid. Then God is ready to send you out as His representative. Are you ready?
