    KEEP THE FIRE BURNING

    Introduction:

    Today, we will explore the significance of keeping the fire burning, just as the prophets of
    old did. We will draw inspiration from the song "Keep Me Burning" by Josh Baldwin.

    First verse and chorus

    "Give me oil in my lamp, give me fire in my bones

    Put a song in my heart and a joy in my soul

    And when the night rolls in, when the feelings fade
    Give me oil in my lamp till the break of day

    Jesus keep me, keep me burning

    Jesus keep me, keep me burning

    With the passion that I had in my youth

    Jesus keep me burning for You"

    What is spiritual fire :- this is also called baptism of the holy ghost, it is a profound and
    intense inner experience or connection with the divine or spiritual realm. It's not a literal
    fire but a representation of the fervor, passion, and transformative power associated with
    deep spiritual experiences. Every born-again child of God should possess this.

    Reasons why it's essential to keep our spiritual fire alive.

    1: Spiritual Vigilance

    "I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless. I hate the work of those who fall
    away; it shall not cling to me." - Psalm 101:3

    As followers of Christ, we are called to remain vigilant and keep the fire of our faith burning
    brightly. Just as the psalmist emphasizes the importance of not entertaining worthless
    things, we should guard our hearts and minds against distractions that may dampen our
    spiritual fervor.

    2: Sharing God's Light

    "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden." - Matthew 5:14

    2
    We are called to be the light of the world, shining God's love and truth into the darkness.
    Just as the prophets of old carried God's message, we should keep our inner fire burning to
    illuminate the lives of those around us. We should be a beacon of hope, pointing others
    toward the source of our eternal flame.

    3: Strengthening Our Relationship with God

    "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you." - James 4:8

    Maintaining a burning passion for God nurtures our relationship with Him. Our faith is not
    a one-time event but a lifelong journey. By consistently seeking God's presence and
    drawing near to Him, we strengthen our connection and intimacy with the Almighty.

    In conclusion, let us remember that just as the prophets of old kept their flames of faith
    burning brightly, we too are called to be passionate and unwavering in our devotion to God.
    Through prayer, vigilance, and a burning desire to share God's love, we can truly be the
    light of the world, just as our Savior, Jesus Christ, taught us. Amen.

    Prayer Points:

    1. Heavenly Father, I pray for a renewed sense of faith and spiritual vitality. Ignite the fire
    within me so that I may be unwavering in my commitment to You.

    2. Lord, grant me the strength and wisdom to be a shining light in the lives of those I
    encounter daily. May my actions and words reflect Your love and truth.

    3. Holy Spirit, draw me closer to the heart of God. Help me to cultivate a deep and abiding
    relationship with You, so that my faith remains unshakable.
