Praise Jesus Christ,
Strange fire at the alter is dangerous.It can cause death.May be not physical death,because in our season ,we are under grace, but life barrenness.Doing everything but giving birth to nothing,bearing no fruits and Stagnations.
Strange fire means{Serving God but outside His will}
*Representing God,through service,when you well know,your heart condition is not right with Him instead of pausing first,and come into agreement with Him.
*Not paying attention to His will ,how and where He want you to serve Him.
*Not tarrying in His presence,the secret place,before you represent Him in public.
*Not obeying Him,before serving or giving Him your sacrifices.
*Lack of total submission.Two cannot walk together unless they have agreement.
*Serving to please people,not God.Thats what Saul did and God was annoyed.
We have a generation that is so busy serving God,but has opened door to Satan through wrong motives;
*Serving God for recognition.
*Serving for competition.
*Serving out of envy.
*Serving to please people.
*Serving out of selfishness {Am the best in this!}
*Serving out of pride.No humility.
*Serving because you are idle,you don't have anything to do at the mean time.
*Serving because your friends are serving.
Such serving will never
*Touch souls,
*Bear fruits
*Bring growth
They just
*Drain you,
*Kill your hope in Christ
*Destroy your relationship with God
*Make you doubt God
*Chase away the presence of God
*Give confusion
*Make you stagnant
Before serving God;
*Pay attention to His will not your will,you were not called to serve everywhere and anywhere.Know when, how and where to serve Him to avoid competition, comparison, Be strategic through God's guidance.Know your race.
*Obey His voice first not your feelings.
*Tarry in His Presence and know Him,before becoming His representative.
*Submit to all His commands.He is your master,you are His servant.
*Serve at the point of surrender, knowledge and humility.
Here are two men who died at the alter while offering sacrifice to God outside God's will,
Aarons sons,Nadab and Abihu.Remember Ananias and saphira too.The Alter is so Holy to joke with,thats why in our season we have people serving God,but God is not seen in their life.Help us Lord🙏
{Leviticus 10:1_3}
Aarons sons ,Nadab and Abihu put coals of fire in their incence burners and sprinkled incence over them.In this way they disobeyed the Lord by burning before Him the wrong kind of fire{Strange fires} different from what God commanded.
2}So fire blazed forth from the Lord's presence and burned them up,they died there before the Lord.
3}Then Moses said to Aaron,This is what the Lord meant when He said"Those who serve me/Come near me must be regarded as holy,and before all the people,I MUST be glorified!"
Why did God call you to serve Him?
1.REPRESENT HIS HOLINESS
That's why we MUST live a holy life and always confess and repent our sins before Him ,when we are wrong,instead of covering the sin.Our hearts must very open to Him.
2.TO GLORYFY HIS NAME
The motive must be Him not our personal benefits.
{1 Samuel 15:22}
But Samuel replied"What is more pleasing to the Lord?Your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to His voice?Listen!
Obedience is better than sacrifice and submission is better than offering the fat lambs.
