Faith Capsule:<\/strong> Acclaimed believer that is living life as a COLD container on behalf of God is a liar.<\/p>\n

Numbers 25, John 2:13-22<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

With no doubt, the word of God is fire and the fire of God is His word. Word of God cannot be separated from fire of God. Jeremiah 5:14 <\/em><\/strong>recorded, \u201cTherefore thus says the Lord God of hosts: \u201cBecause you speak this word, Behold, I will make My words in your mouth fire\u2026\u201d Jeremiah 20:9<\/em><\/strong> testified, \u201c\u2026But His word was in my heart like a burning fire\u2026\u201d <\/em><\/strong>Also, it is written in Jeremiah 23:29, \u201cIs not My word like a fire?\u201d says the Lord\u2026\u201d <\/em><\/strong>As an acclaimed believer, can you testify if the word of God you carry is a burning fire? Acclaimed believer that testifies to be carrying His word in the heart but not burning for God is a liar, a deceiver and is living life as a COLD container on behalf of God. A cold container might be conversant quoting word of God from the mouth but not from the heart. Cold container is not possible to be having zeal for God. Cold container is nothing but, a wicked one loaded with lying, deception and manipulation.
\nWord of God as burning fire is a driving force behind having zeal for God. The level of a believer\u2019s zeal is the driving force in how a believer seeks God. Invariably, how much one seeks God will determine how much or how often one sees and relate with God. Seeking God casually will not deliver same result compared to seeking Him zealously. Zealousness for God is a proof of man\u2019s love for God. Zealousness for God draws man to God. James 4:8<\/em><\/strong> buttressed, \u201cCome near to God and he will come near to you.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Zeal that is rooted in understanding and knowledge of God shall be fired up by revelation in the word of God which delivers promises which is not common in this world. Maintaining zeal for God is to keep hot love for God. The word of God that is fire is the source of maintaining hot love. (Jeremiah 23:29) Love that is not hot will grow cold because of the wickedness of this world. With cold, zealousness cannot be fired up.
\nIn Jesus, we see what it means to be zealous for the course of the kingdom\u2019s business. The bible recorded, \u201cNow the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. \u00a0<\/sup>And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business. When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers\u2019 money and overturned the tables. \u00a0<\/sup>And He said to those who sold doves, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cTake these things away! Do not make My Father\u2019s house a house of merchandise!\u201d<\/em><\/strong> \u00a0<\/sup>Then His disciples remembered that it was written, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cZeal for Your house has eaten<\/em><\/strong> Me up.\u201d (John 2:13-17) <\/em><\/strong>The action of Jesus is a demonstration of Zeal for God. In Jesus\u2019s action we see a principle of fighting a good course for God\u2019s glory.<\/p>\n

Prayer for today: <\/strong>Ask for the zeal of God to occupy your life to be living for God\u2019s glory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
