Men and brethren, even though Jeremiah had decided to keep still, he could not, because the truth of God’s Word on the inside was as a burning fire shut up in his bones Jeremiah 20:9. You must key and link into the move and power of God that is able to set you free from various demeaning and negative situations. The word will grant power to your spiritual vocal cord and release your ability to speak audibly against every opposition and intimidation. The Lord has sent His power for those who see to believe and accept Him. It is also for those who feel for one reason or another that they have disconnected from His presence to come back quickly. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 2:4. “And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:” Wherever you are, expect heaven to move on your behalf as we pray and look at God’s word His power will flow. “In speaking of the angels he says, “He makes his angels spirits, and his servants flames of fire.” Hebrew 1:7, Psalm 104:4

Every time you read the devotion, you must expect the unusual presence of God, The Bible says “And the sight of the glory of the Lord was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel” Exodus 24:17. Before you continue with this devotion, go ahead and worship God with these songs for a few minutes.

• The name, the name of Jesus, is greater and higher than all names, it is not an ordinary name, is the name that’s full of power and praise.
• How excellent is your name O Lord

The scriptures below demonstrate that our God is a consuming fire. Deuteronomy 4:24, Deuteronomy 9:3, Hebrews 12:29. Today as you study and use the consuming fire of God to address various issues in your lives and situations. I decree that every strange god, claiming you from your place of birth, every weakness in your father’s house tormenting your destiny, disregarding your presence be consumed by fire in Jesus name.

Friends, let me briefly place emphasis on the mystery of consuming fire. Do you know that one way in which the Holy Spirit manifests Himself at times is by fire. The Holy Spirit appears visibly in Revelation 4:5 “seven lamps of fire . . . burning before the throne . . . of God.” In Hebrew 12:29 the writer of Hebrews makes a simple, but profound, statement: “Our God is a consuming fire.” He does not say that God is like a fire, but that God is a fire. For this reason, “we must serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.” Not slavish fear, but “the fear of the LORD, [which] is clean, enduring forever.”

At various points in the history of Israel the Holy Spirit came down among the people as a fire. In the tabernacle in the wilderness, when Aaron had offered all the appointed sacrifices, fire came out from before the LORD and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. When all the people saw it, they shouted and fell on their faces.

In Solomon’s case, when Solomon had finished praying at the dedication of his temple, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the temple. And the priests could not enter the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD’S house.

Later, in a time of apostasy, when the LORD responded to Elijah’s prayer on Mount Carmel, the fire of the LORD fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench. Now when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, “The LORD, He is God! The LORD, He is God!” Each time the fire came down and the people fell on their faces, they were not simply moved by a spiritual manifestation. They were responding to the presence of God—God the Holy Spirit—who had come down among them as a consuming fire. In His presence they were physically incapable of standing. I see every sacrifice made against your destiny receiving the Fire treatment.

Right where you are, there are two opposite sides to fire. Fire can be beneficial, but also dangerous. Fire can purify, but also destroy Lamentations 1:12-13. So it is with the fire of the Holy Spirit. He can minister God’s blessing and favour on those who are obedient. But He can also minister God’s wrath and judgment on those who are presumptuous and self-willed. Boy oh boy, the fire of the Holy Ghost shall heap blessings on your destiny this morning in Jesus name. By the unction of this commission, wherever the train of your destiny has been derailed, it shall be adjusted by Fire in Jesus name.

OUR GOD A CONSUMING FIRE. God’s holiness is the reason for His being a consuming fire, and it burns up anything unholy. The holiness of God is that part of His nature that most separates Him from sinful man. The godless, Isaiah writes, tremble before Him: “Who of us can dwell with the consuming fire? Who of us can dwell with everlasting burning?” Isaiah answers this by saying that only the righteous can withstand the consuming fire of God’s wrath against sin, because sin is an offense to God’s holiness. But Isaiah also assures us that no amount of our own righteousness is sufficient (Isaiah 64:6)

Which Fire is in your bones? The bible says in (Lamentations 1:12, 13) hath He sent FIRE INTO MY BONES”. There are many today who are in the Christian race, everything appears to be alright but they are running on empty, and they need a fill-up. There are many today who are coming to the house of God, everything appears to be alright; they know how to clap their hands, they know how to stomp their feet, they know how to say amen at the right time, but there is an emptiness on the inside that needs to be filled. Today you are at the filling station, and you do not have to leave here empty, because you can be filled.

Jeremiah had been led to undertake the prophetic mission with assurances of success and victory, and he was surprised when he was met only with contempt and apparent failure Jer 1:17-19. Like today, so many have entered the service of the Lord with much confidence in the joy, but little anticipation of the trouble it would bring. Like superman they had in mind to do great exploits, but never thought of having a dull moment. They are going to leap high walls, fly over the land, and do everything in a single bounce but alas when they enter, they get entangled.

Are you surprised of what God is taking you through on this Christian journey? Are you angry with God for what you are going through? Do you sometimes feel that God has deceived you and you want to go on a spiritual strike? Have you joined the people that say ‘I won’t worship with the saints anymore, because they are not what I thought them to be’? All those folks are hypocrites and so I will just stay home and watch Bishop K and Pope M, because he seems to be alright.

Jeremiah the prophet of God; the one who God had ordained and commissioned to preach God’s Word, starts to complain. And God does not do business with complainants. Here Jeremiah complains that God has deceived him. The God who can’t lie, Jeremiah says has deceived him. The God who can’t make a mistake, Jeremiah says has deceived him. The God who is perfect in all his ways, Jeremiah says has deceived him. The word ‘deceive’ means to mislead, to persuade oneself to believe something that is not true, to make someone believe what is false. Jeremiah was saying that he was trying to be God’s spokesman, but this has won him only derision. He has answered God’s call, but now he is the laughing-stock. What do you do when you are trying to do the right thing, and people are making fun at you? What do you do when you are serving God the best you know how, and church folks tell you, you don’t have to do all that? Do you please God, or do you try to please folks? Saints of God don’t let folks drive you crazy. It seems there are folks who have the gift of driving people crazy. They know how to use their gift. They are experts at using their gift.

Jeremiah God’s prophet had reached a stage in his life when he felt down. To him, he was deceived by God, and now he is the laughing stock of those around him. Jeremiah’s consistent message had been that God will punish the people unless they repent. Guess what, the people have not repented, God has not punished them in the way. Jeremiah predicted and his prediction did not happen, and so Jeremiah is made the laughing-stock by the people. God’s servant determined to be silent, but silence brings no peace. When you have a testimony to share, and you try to keep quiet there will be no peace. How can you be silent and not tell what God has done for you? How can you keep still when God has given you his word to proclaim? Can you see Jeremiah walking around and talking to himself, God has deceived me, the people are laughing at me, and I will not say anything about the Lord. Jeremiah had truth on the inside, and you can’t hold truth.

As Jeremiah walked around with the truth, something started to move on the inside. He felt a burning sensation on the inside, his soul was on fire, and so he declares in the latter part of verse 9, but his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I could not stay. It seems Jeremiah’s soul was on fire. He had a testimony to share, he had a word from the Lord, and now he can’t keep still. Have you ever felt a burning desire to tell what God has done for you? God has been so good to you, and you just can’t keep it to yourself. Has God been good to you? We all should be thanking God for what God has done, and is still doing.

Saints of God, when your friends have turned their backs on you, just take the time to praise the Lord. When you have been mocked and jeered by those whom you thought had cared about you, just take the time to praise the Lord. When in your mind you might think God has deceived you, and you feel like complaining to God, just take the time to praise the Lord. When that son or daughter is driving you crazy, just take the time to praise the Lord. When you can’t understand what’s happening to your husband or your wife, just take the time to praise the Lord. When folks in the church just won’t treat you right, just take the time to praise the Lord. As you praise the Lord, as you give thanks unto the Lord, your deliverance will come
