Fire needs a combustible material to spread on. If there are elements that are not combustible, it will prevent fire from going through.
Let me put this clear...For the Holy Spirit fire to catch and grip you, you need to have a combustible material in your heart and that's nothing but the word of God.
The Holy Spirit cannot and will not take control without your heart having the word of God.
I have wondered why are the Christians still holding on to this World and not giving time to His word. If at all we miss out on a day to day basis is to read and meditate His word. By meditation I mean allowing the work of the Holy Spirit on the word.
DO you have the fire..is your passion still hot for God..Is your heart filled with His word...
If so, expect the Holy Ghost to set you on fire and enable you to be His ambassador in this world.
God bless

FOLLOW ME vs FEED MY SHEEP
From the blog title you will understand that these are 2 statements our Lord Jesus told to Peter.
The first one is FOLLOW ME, which was a sort of command. MORTAL MAN cannot do anything rather than obey the divine VOICE. Peter along with all other disciples obeyed that voice, they left all that they had and followed Jesus.They however, had no transformation from inside,if the Lord left them ,they would have easily gone back.This was evident after the crucifixtion of Jesus ,these disciples under the leadership of Peter went back to the seas.
They were then met by the resurrected Lord who prepared a good GALILEAN BREAKFAST for them , without using the fish they caught. God doesnt need your resources to do His work, He looks at you. The Lord then dealt with them perhaps the most intimately. He asked a question to Peter.."DO you love me more than these"...Peter at first just gave an answer without his heart involvment, the Lord then repeated the question which almost pierced the heart of Peter.The Lord then told him to FEED HIS LAMBS...
FOllow me was non transformational but FEED MY LAMBS was.!!Follow me signifies the sovereignity of God and fraility of man, FEED MY LAMBS signify the change that real LOVE can make.
Peeple of God who are involved in the ministry in any ways, please make it a point that you minister to God , with your heart moved out of LOVE for the master.When Love is not there, you can't feed His lambs...!!Love God with all your heart and minister.
Blessings!!
