Study 5B...It is only when our motive is that God should be glorified and His Name honoured and exalted that the fire of the Lord will fall.

Study5B..Fire on the Altar.
1king 18:17-40
We stopped at number one prerequisite of fire on the Altar,you can't afford to go on like this in this present world without His fire on your altar,so Arise...,here we are
Study it diligently... God bless you
2 . IT WAS WHEN THE SACRIFICE WAS OFFERED
Verse 33. The sacrifice was a bullock, which Elijah cut up and placed, piece by piece, on the altar. Compare Romans 12:1 and 6:13, and ask yourself: How many of the pieces of my life have I really offered to the Lord upon the altar, and how many of my members are yielded fully to Him ““as instruments of righteousness””? What about my hands, feet, eyes, ears, lips, my home, job, pleasures and friendships? Have I yielded all the ““pieces”” or “”members”” to Him?
3 . IT WAS WHEN THE WATER WAS POURED
Verses 33-35. The pagan priests were notorious for their trickery in deceiving the people with false signs and lying wonders. Elijah was preparing to offset this, so after placing the pieces of sacrifice upon the altar he drenched both altar and sacrifice with water, not only once or twice but three times, until –- see verse 35! What things do we substitute for the fire of the Lord? Are we proud of our lovely churches, organs, choirs, dazzling oratory, good collections, etc.? What are any of these without the power of Pentecost?
4.series of prayer were made by Elijah...learn from this
5 . THE TESTING THAT HE EXPERIENCED
It has been suggested that there is a change in Elijah’s praying between verses 36 and 37. In verse 36, Elijah prayed for the fire that all might know “”that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command””; but in verse 37 the change came. He prayed “”so these people will know that you , O Lord, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again.”” Why do we want the fire of the Lord to fall, to be empowered for service and to be filled with the Holy Spirit? Do we want it for ourselves? It is only when our motive is that God should be glorified and His Name honoured and exalted that the fire of the Lord will fall.
These are the prerequisites to Pentecost, to an outpouring of that consuming fire of the Holy Spirit. Let us pray that throughout our land and around the world the fire of the Lord may fall.Is fire on your altar?, if not check your life and repair your altar now,later is late.what are your resolutions?
Closing Thought: Isaiah 4:3-5.
