Month Theme: Fire

Topic: God is a Consuming Fire

Scripture Reading: Hebrews 12:1-29; Acts 2:1-10

Main Text:
Hebrews 12:29
29 For our God is a consuming fire.

On the day of Pentecost, cloven tongues like fire appeared in the Upper Room (Acts 2:1-4). The word “fire” means fiery or lightning. The disciples saw a central scintillation from which tongues that looked like fire separated (cleaved) and settled on each of them. They were empowered to execute the Great Commission.

Everything God created has a purpose. Fire has a purpose.
• Convicting
The Holy Ghost convicted the disciples and sinners unto repentance.
• Combusting
The Holy Ghost combusted the spirits of the apostle to run with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
• Confronting
The Holy Ghost confronted the resistance of the religious leaders.
• Consuming
The Holy Ghost consumed the demons that oppressed the sick.

The fire associated with the cloven tongues speaks of God’s own nature and for that matter the nature of the Holy Ghost. God is a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:27-29).

Prayer: Pray for the fire of the Holy Ghost to come upon you.
