Nothing touches fire and remains the same. Acts 9:3-6, Act 2:1-14

From the day a believer gets a kiss of fire, everything about him or her changes completely (Isaiah 6:6-7); the impact of the fire will abide with him or her forever.

When you are kissed by fire, you will begin to hear the heatbeat of God concerning nations of the world, and your response will be, "Lord, send me anywhere to do your work, and I will go."

“The reason many Christians find it difficult to do great exploits for God (even though they want to serve God in greater capacitities, but lack the required zeal) is that they have not been kissed by fire.”

Prayer Point: Father, please give me a kiss of fire doday, in Jesus' name.

Memorise: And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quacked greatly. (Exodus 19:18)

Deliberately fix your attention on the things and people that will influence you to become what you intend to become in the future.

Memorise: Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endureth the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:2)

Your future depends on what you can see today. If you see a glorious future, you can have it (Genesis 13:15).

God has put so much power in your vision that it attracts whatever it is focused on. You must be very conscious about what you set your eyes on.

Even when flashy things surround you, your vision must remain glued to things above. (Colossians 3:2)

If all you see are perishable things, all you will get will be perishable. Don’t put your focus on earthly possessions and titles.

“Beloved, there is nothing better than setting your eyes on God because when you have Him, you have everything else. (Matthew 6:33)”

MEMORISE: Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Colossians 3:2

What have you seen about your future? How are you living your live today so you can achieve your dreams?
If you really have a vision for your life, that vision should drive you to be awake while others are sleeping and keep going while otheres are giving up.
Don't lose sight of your vision of the future; keep your focus on God, the author and the finisher of your faith. (Hebrews 12:2)

I would rather God rebuke me than stay silent.

If a Christian only wants to hear sweet things from God but never wants to listen to His rebuke, he or she will eventually stop hearing from Him.

You should be glad when God rebukes you because Hebrews 12:6 says that it is the child the father loves that he chastens.

God is not moved by mere religious activity; He is most interested in a relationship with you. But he will not dwell with hard-hearted individuals. Isaiah 57:15

“How do you react when you hear a rebuke from your pastor? Do you harden your heart or do you make amends immediately?”

MEMORISE: I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the Lord my God. Jeremiah 31:18

God talks to His people; the only problem is that many do not listen to Him.

If God has been talking to you and you have been disobedient, He will keep quiet, and you won’t hear Him again.

The primary way to hear from God and be guided by Him is to study your Bible.

There are times when you can clearly see what God wants you to do in the Scriptures. However, you still need to hear from Him on how to go about what He wants you to do.

“When you are dealing with God, don’t harden your heart (Psalm 95:6-8). Listen to Him with an open mind, be committed to obeying Him, and He will speak to you.”

MEMORISE: Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: Psalm 95:8

Elderly people carry valuable gems of wisdom.

No matter how educated you are, some lessons cannot be learn in classrooms; they are only taught in classroom of life' and are learned by experience.

Whatever things you disagree with or that seem hard for you to understand, keep them in your memory regardless. One day, when you are wiser, you will likely refer to them.

There are some natural remedies to sicknesses and important principles of life that died with some elders because the generation after them did not learn about them when they had the opportunity.

“Before the go to be with the Lord, spend quality time with the elders around you, especially the christian elders to learn all you can. Tell them to teach you some of the things they know and do.”

Memorise: With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. Job 12:12

Memorise: And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are. John 17:11

The Bible says that the entrance of His word always brings light to the hearer and to situations (Psalm 119:130).

You cannot live an effective Christian life if you do not hear from God (John 11:40)

To receive God's word effectively, ensure that nothing distracts you and that you are totally focused on listening to His word.

“Prayer Point: Father, please open my spiritual hears and let me hear from You always.”

Memorise: And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn ton the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. (Isaiah 30:21)
