    Fire Place: Special Meetings

    “Do not forsake the gathering of believers”, does not only mean that you missed out on something in the service when you do not show up. It also means that other believers miss out on something when you do not show up, or belong to a church. We miss the point of church when we gather for routine only, and not for purpose. The church was never meant to be a building you visit. It is supposed to be an identity you carry, a lifestyle. The gathering of believers as a church is to encounter the glory of God, receive His words and know who He is. This sermon answers the question of why we gather as a church, what the church is not, and what the church really is.

    Fire Place: Flow of the Spirit

    The 'Fire Place' series introduces and emphasizes the importance of exercising the gifts of the Spirit, for ourselves and for our brothers and sisters in Christ. Every believer is supposed to be a conduit of the presence of God. A break in transmission in your life, meaning how you conduct that power, can limit the flow of God. Every believer has the Spirit of God and can experience the infilling of God, a stirring of the Spirit- where you come to a point of yieldedness, that allows Him to take over. When you got saved, you were not only saved from sin; you drank a river. The same way fire is a symbol of the presence of God, water is a symbol of the Spirit and salvation. Two pictures that can help us understand what the flow of the Spirit really is are: 1. A river- there is no obstruction. 2. Electricity. Every believer has a reservoir. What breaks your flow is that you do not stir it up enough.

    Altars: Overflow

    Throughout this series, our devotion has been at the centre of every teaching. The plan of God for your devotion is an overflow; that you wake up every day deciding that your altar will remain on fire for the rest of your life. This teaching gives us ‎practical ways to achieve the overflow in our walk with God: ‎1. Build an obsession for the things of God. 2. Don't forsake the gathering of believers. ‎3. Take responsibility for your altar. ‎4. Importunity in prayer. ‎5. Remember that your fire is from God. ‎6. Guard your heart for the things of God. ‎7. Live from the overflow.

    Altars: Kindle

    As believers, we are instructed by the Bible not to be ignorant of the Charismatic. In this sermon, we are taught what we need to know about spiritual gifts and why every believer should desire to speak in tongues. The Bible does not give an exhaustive list of the gifts of the Spirit, so spiritual gifts refer to abilities which are empowered by the Holy Spirit and are used in the ministry of the Church. These gifts are accessible to every believer, and the gift of tongues is real and, arguably, the most important gift to the believer. The gift of tongues is an investment in the believer; it is the entrance into supernatural and spiritual abilities, and it is the only gift directed to God.

    Altars: Fire Killers

    No matter how shattered your altar may have become, under the right circumstances, it can come back to life again.  We are not supposed to treat our spiritual fire as if it cannot be quenched. We are to protect it because it can be quenched.  It is our responsibility to fan the flames of the fire in us and keep it burning. As a priest of your altar, you should not only know how to make the fire but also know how to make sure the fire does not die. Various things can kill the fire on our altars. Some of these, highlighted and explained with examples, are the flesh, weight and sin, strange fire, and lukewarmness.

    Altars: Brilliant Fire

    Many times, people think the things of the Spirit happen randomly. But the things of the Spirit can operate by consistent discoverable and repeated laws. There is a science to the things of the Spirit. You can have replicable results. In nature, fire needs the same elements every time to be created. The same goes for the spirit. Some things that must be present for you to keep your altar on fire. It does not have to be an accident. Scriptures use fire to describe living devotional fervour. It is an emblem that God is present in your life; that you will be burning for God, consecrated, continually living in His presence. Two pillars and architecture to help you sustain spiritual fire include cost and consistency.

    Altars: Knowledge of the Holy 2

    Encounters are the starting point of devotion. When you reach the point where nothing else matters but God, that is where devotion truly begins. If you truly know God, that knowledge should be compelling enough to bring you to total surrender. Some arguments discussed in this teaching include: 1. An inconsistent devotion is a vision problem, not a will problem. 2. A man’s spiritual history will reveal that no religion has ever risen above its idea of God. We are also taught three attributes of God that should change how we pray: 1. God is self-sufficient. 2. God does not change. 3. God knows everything. If the God you worship is on the same level as your job, house, spouse, ambition, or anything else you value, it will eventually show in your devotion.

    Altars: Knowledge of the Holy

    At this point in the year, there are 242 days left till the end of the year 2026, and it is possible to make the most of these remaining days of the year to show up at the place of prayer every single day and fix up what is needed in our devotion.  This teaching series presents to us that it is possible to know God more. We do not have to be comfortable in our current position of devotion and our knowledge of God.  We can buy back every lost time in our spiritual walk with God, approaching it with diligence. An altar is defined as a spiritual transaction point, where the mercy of God meets sacrifice. It is not just a physical place. It is where the separation between man and God is addressed, where God responds to consecration.  The following are highlighted and explained as the characteristics of an altar: sacrifice, consistency, intentionality, separation, focus, alignment with God’s will, and expectations.
