TOPIC: Soul Aflame For God (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 24 June 2022)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Kings 12:25-33, 1 Kings 13, 1 Kings 14:1-20, Acts 16:1-15, Psalm 78:1-8
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Jeremiah 20:1-10 (KJV)
1 Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who was also chief governor in the house of the Lord, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.
2 Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the Lord.
3 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The Lord hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magormissabib.
4 For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword.
5 Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city, and all the labours thereof, and all the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.
6 And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house shall go into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied lies.
7 O Lord, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived; thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me.
8 For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the Lord was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.
9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.
10 For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.
MEMORY VERSE: “Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.” – Jeremiah 20:9
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES: When you are burning for God, worldliness will run away from you.
PRAISE AND WORSHIP:
Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
LET YOUR SOUL RECEIVE THE FIRE OF GOD BY FIRE, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
MFM Devotional For Today MESSAGE:
Man is of three parts: the soul, the spirit and the body. A soul must long for God in order to be set aflame. The soul of man is the centre of will and desire. It is the propelling force of the body.
A soul that has been redeemed is like a pilot’s light; it is always burning. Most believers experience initial enthusiasm, bold perseverance, willingness and readiness for the service of the Kingdom, but as we journey the narrow way, we get weary. Beloved, that is the point you just have to turn the gas on and let it burn in your heart.

The second chapter of the book of Revelation encourages the church in Ephesus to remember the first love she forsook. Ask yourself, do you still have the first passion you had then for the gospel? The miles you travelled in the sun and in the rain, just to be in the service for God, what happened to it? The evangelism you did then, what happened to it? Where is the initial fire that was in your bones and made you uncomfortable unless you are in the vigil and church service?
A soul that is aflame for God cannot be quenched by the cries of the dead formalism or be blown out by the wind of apathy and politics. A soul aflame for God will not be affected by the lukewarmness that plagues the Church today. When a soul is aflame for God, it cannot be choked out by worldliness or materialism. A soul that is burning for God will declare, “Others may but I cannot.”
Daniel was asked not to call upon any other God except the god of Nebuchadnezzar, but because his soul was aflame for God, he could not obey such an order. Similarly, Jeremiah prophesied to a generation that had forgotten the God that redeemed them, but they did not listen to him. He threatened not to preach nor prophesy anymore in the name of God, but the flame of God that burned inside made it impossible for him to keep quiet.
Beloved, today you just have to turn on the gas in your soul and be aflame for God.
