Leviticus 6:13 ‘the fire shall ever be burning upon the altar, it shall never go out.’

DAILY READING -Acts 27:1-12; 1 Samuel 2:11-36; Psalm 50

Newspapers called George Whitefield the “marvel of the age.” He was probably the most famous religious figure of the eighteenth century. Whitefield was a preacher capable of commanding thousands on two continents through the sheer power of his oratory. In his lifetime, he preached at least 18,000 times to perhaps 10 million hearers.
However, the public manifestations of his ministry were a result of the price he paid in private in his unrelenting pursuit of God.
In his search for God, Whitefield once fasted to the point that he broke his health and, under doctor’s orders, was confined to bed for seven weeks.
Whitefield usually awoke in the wee hours of the morning to seek God and spiritually prepare for each day.
He was a man who decided to pour himself out for The Gospel of Jesus Christ.In one week he often spent 40 or 50 hours preaching in the pulpit. From his first outdoor sermon on February 17, 1739, at the age of 24 until his death, his life was one of almost daily preaching.
Whitefield was a riveting orator and was one of the spearheads of the Great Awakening in the eighteenth-century. This was a period of massive renewal of interest in Christianity across Western societies and a time of significant church growth..
The spiritual revival he ignited in the Great Awakening, became one of the most formative events in American history. His last sermon on this tour was given at Boston Commons before 23,000 people, likely the largest gathering in American history to that point.
Though he sometimes suffered persecutions from those who opposed his ministry, he never relented. Brutal mobs sometimes attacked Whitefield and his followers and he received letters with death threats, and was once stoned until he was nearly dead, yet, he was not discouraged from his passionate pursuit of God.
George Whitefield preached even until the day before his death. Indeed he gave his all and poured out all that was in him until his last breath.

Our central passion in life should be that Christ will be honored and magnified through our lives.. We must be on fire for God and keep burning for the world to see. It is the blazing fire of The Holy Ghost in us that can overcome the darkness in the world and draw men to Christ. Lukewarm Christianity will not do, we need fiery zeal and blazing passion for the things of God to be able to make a difference in the world. Moderate Christianity will produce moderate results, but extreme Christianity will produce extreme results Indeed at all times .our lights must be kept burning and our loins girded about.

Lev 6:13 says the fire shall ever be burning upon the altar, it shall never go out.

We need to get on fire, and stay on fire for God! It is this burning light of the Gospel in us that will lead men out of the dark regions of sin and bondage to seek the true light of Christ.

You cannot make God first, and become the last. If you will let Him get the throne of your heart, He will secure a throne for you on the earth.
Indeed at all times, seeking God first has to be our priority. As long as we seek Him, our lights will keep burning brighter and brighter. The reason people get spiritually cold is because they fail to spend the necessary time in seeking God. It is the place of God in our hearts that will determine our placing upon the earth.
Indeed may this season of fasting and praying mark the beginning of a greater dimension of hunger for God. Let fresh fire be ignited in our hearts to constantly make God our top priority at all times,
Surely as we seek God and His kingdom first, every other thing will fall into place in our lives.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to make You priority in my life. Please keep my heart always panting after You and the affairs of Your Kingdom, May my zeal for You never wane in Jesus Name.

QUOTE: When God places His hand upon a man in life nothing can come against him, this is because the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.WORDBITE 222
