A fiery spirit
"…And His ministers a flame of fire…" - Hebrews 1:7
One man bought a factory that had been closed for years and hired entirely new people. They tried to operate the machines there. Nothing ran. They took off the wheels. They turned the knobs. They oiled the rollers. But nothing moved. Finally some workers went into the boiler room and opened it to find that there was no fire. Immediately they opened the lid of the boiler and put wood and charcoal in it and lit the fire. Soon steam was flowing through the pistons and cylinders and within an hour or two the factory was up and running.
On that day, 120 people were gathered in the upper room where a strong wind blew and the Holy Spirit came down as fiery tongues and filled them. Filled with the Spirit, they stood up as witnesses of Jesus Christ. Peter, who had rejected him, also preached boldly after being filled with the Spirit. People marvelled his courage. After listening to the sermon, three thousand and five thousand people accepted the Lord. How did this happen? It was done by the Spirit of God. Yes, the anointing of the Spirit was burning within them.
But in many congregations today the fire has gone out. There is nothing more sad and pathetic than this. That is why no movement or progress can be seen. Many churches have good choirs, wonderful musicians, and talented preachers, yet why is there no revival? There is no fire. If the fire of the Holy Spirit is present, there will certainly be revival. A great spiritual harvest can be found.
Arise, O Anointed Ones! Let your fire enliven others. We will stand together as a congregation at the gap. We will add new souls to the church every day. Let us prepare for the coming of the Lord. Maranatha!
- T. Samuel
