Leadership begins with character. People may admire talent, skill, or success, but trust is what makes them follow you. Without character, leadership eventually collapses. It is non-negotiable. Lead with integrity today. Enjoy your day. #Leadership#Character#SamAdeyemi #Growth #LeadWithCharacter
FIRE CARRIERS 2
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. - (Matthew 5:6)
READ: Exodus 33:7-11
Yesterday, I stated that serving God wholeheartedly and honouring those whom He has placed over you is a channel through which you can carry His fire. Today, I will discuss another thing that can make you a carrier of God's fire - your level of hunger and thirst for Him.
In today's Bible reading, God spoke face to face with Moses in a pillar of cloud in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and Joshua was with him. After Moses' conversation with God, he departed from the tabernacle, but Joshua stayed behind because he was so hungry for God's presence. While others were enjoying the comfort of their tents, Joshua remained before the Consuming Fire, and I am sure that he was communing with Him and seeking His face. In Numbers 27:18, God attested to the fact that he was a man "...in whom is the spirit..." and instructed Moses to lay hands on him.
Elisha was another person whose hunger attracted God's fire. The moment Elijah put his mantle on him, he left everything and followed the man of God (1 Kings 19:19-21). When it was time for Elijah to be taken away from him into heaven, he told him to ask for anything he wanted. At that time, Elisha had become so hungry to see greater manifestations of God's glory that he wanted to do greater works than his master. He didn't care about material things; his only hunger was for God. When Elijah heard his servant's request, he replied, "You have asked a hard thing, but if you see me while I am being taken away, it will be as you have asked" (2 Kings 2:9-10). Being on a long journey would have made many other people tired and sleepy, but Elisha was not. His hunger kept him awake and aware of everything that was happening around him. His heart was fixed on what he wanted, and this was what made him see the chariot of fire as it appeared, and Elijah being taken up into heaven by a whirlwind (2 Kings 2:11-12).
Beloved, no matter who lays hands on you, the fire of God will not come upon you if you are not hungry and thirsty for God's presence and glory. Even though a piece of wood has the potential to catch fire, it will not catch fire if it is not dry. Only those who are hungry and thirsty for God's presence and glory will receive His fire to do exploits in their generation.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, please fill my heart, soul, and spirit with great hunger and thirst for Your presence and power.
