Holy Spirit: Are We Flammable Or Fireproof?ಮಾದರಿ

No More Ordinary

The Divine fire that comes from the baptism of the Holy Spirit changes your status from ordinary to extraordinary. You take on a Divine mandate and assignment so that you no longer live for yourself; you surrender your fears and ambitions and take on a Divine purpose. You become a chosen vessel.

Moses had seen bushes and shrubs every day for 40 years. He did not go around gazing at or studying bushes. Wilderness bushes are not fascinating, cultivated, colourful or blossoming. They are quite unbeautiful. But God took one of them, very ordinary by itself, and made it extraordinary. It burst into flames—but was not consumed (Exodus 3:2). Then He spoke from it—the voice from the burning bush. Moses, in a way, was like the bush—ordinary and even of a lower grade. He was just a piece of driftwood—a fugitive murderer hiding from justice with no future. He was a mere shepherd, and “all shepherds are detestable to the Egyptians” (Genesis 46:34 NIV). 

Moses saw that bush burning without it turning to ash. He had no idea that this was a life-changing moment. Curious, he turned aside to see it, gazing at it in fascination. Then, a Divine flame leaped from the bush and transferred into his very soul. Moses, a mortal, became a Flame Man. “He makes...His servants flames of fire” (Hebrews 1:7 NIV). On that day, when you turn aside to see the burning bush, you will no longer be ordinary.

“Evangelism is a fiery chariot with a burning messenger, preaching a blazing Gospel on wheels of fire! Allow the Holy Spirit to make your life His chariot.” Reinhard Bonnke
