“For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.”

TODAY’S TEXT:
Genesis 19:24-25.
“Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven. And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.”
TODAY’S MESSAGE:
In the opening of this series, we considered human beings as the most privileged creature, made in the image and the likeness God. But lose his authority over all due to sin, man was restored and forgiven through Jesus sacrifice on the Cross of Calvary. Let’s not forget that, as many that decides to take action or to work against God, will meet with the consuming wrath of God.
However, fire has various qualities such as to renew or modify, destroy or to consume anything that cross it’s path. The more reason, our today’s text reaffirms that our God is Almighty, great and mighty in battle; who destroys the adversaries of His people, with all their plans and possessions.
Meanwhile, He wiped the wicked generation of Noah’s time with flood, after which cities were consumed by fire with all it’s inhabitants. As it was the case of Sodom and Gomorrah, that He rained brimstones and fire on them.
Furthermore, Nineveh was set for destruction but the good news was, the leadership of Nineveh proclaimed a national repentance with fasting.
In conclusion, repentance and recommitment to God, is the solution to avoids getting consumed by the consuming fire of God. God is not happy by the death of a sinner, but to repent and live. (Ezekiel 18:32) May you receive grace, to cooperate with the grace of God upon your life in Jesus name. Amen.
God bless you.
*Jesus is coming soon.*
Be prepared.

Yours in Christ,
B. J. Folorunsho.
