Today’s Message: THE FIRE

Acts 7: 20, In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father’s house three months: verse 21, And when he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son. Verse 22, And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds. Verse 23, And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel. Verse 24, And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian: verse 25, For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not. Verse 26, And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another? Verse 27, But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us? Verse 28, Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday? Verse 29, Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons.

Before I continue to read, I want you to see this. Here is Moses, ordained by God to deliver God’s people out of captivity and bondage, but one thing we learn about him, he had a problem with his temper, and that problem cost him from entering the promised land. Because when he had to speak to a rock, he just smote it [Numbers 20:7–11]. So, Moses was like everybody else. He was a normal person. God uses everyday people. Here he is, instead of being the one to deliver God’s people, he killed somebody which shows us how many people try to do everything in the flesh, but when God comes to deliver, He comes by His power, and by demonstration of signs, miracles, and wonders. Moses is here for forty years in the wilderness of life, and there could be people here today, and God called you few years ago, but you did something stupid, and you feel like everything is lost, but the Lord says NO! Today, He is going to give you a burning bush. He is going to ignite what He has for you. God’s plan for people doesn’t fail.

Verse 30, And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush. Verse 31, When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the Lord came unto him. Verse 32, Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold. Verse 33, Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground. Verse 34, I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.

Its very interest that here is the Almighty God, He says, I have heard, and I have seen, and I have come down to deliver the people, but I AM going to send you. This reveals that God looks for people who He will use to bring deliverance. You could ask yourself, why doesn’t God do it Himself? He uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise [1 Corinthians 1:27]. That’s why there is no glory in the flesh in His presence. God doesn’t share His glory with anybody. Once you touch His glory, you will be cut off.

“If you want to be worshipped, you will come to nothing!”

In this text, Moses realized that he was nothing, even when he was raised in Pharaoh’s house. He acted in the flesh, and he was at the backside of the desert for 40 years. But suddenly, a fire began to burn, and the bush caught on fire, and it wasn’t consumed. Moses walked near it and he was shaken. God spoke out of the bush, and said, “I AM… I AM THE GOD OF YOUR FATHER, THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB. TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES. TAKE OFF YOUR PROTOCOL. I AM going to give you new shoes. You are going to walk in My plan and purpose.” The fire that shock him is the SAME fire that carried him to go and stand before Pharaoh, and say, “LET MY PEOPLE GO…” [Exodus 9:1]. That SAME fire brought the children of Israel out of captivity with the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night [Exodus 13:21].

That SAME fire came upon the prophet’s mouth when an angle took hot coal from the altar and placed it on his lips [Jeremiah 6:6-13]. That SAME fire came in the upper room on the day of Pentecost, and it appeared on each head [Acts 2:3]. The SAME fire was seen in the eyes of Jesus by John on the island of Patmos when Jesus appeared to him [Revelation 19:11-12].

The SAME fire, the SAME Holy Ghost is here (at the Miracle Centre Cathedral) right now to come and touch the humble, and to touch those who will say, “Lord, I have messed up many times, but if you will use me one more time; if you will come one more time and by your anointing, ignite Your fire…let Your fire come and burn out everything that will hold me back. Let Your Fire burn out the fear of men that can hinder me to be used of You”. God will set you ablaze and you will run with fire across the nation of Uganda, and Uganda will be shaken. The neighboring countries will also be shaken. Africa will be shaken. Hallelujah.

I have seen many people come and go, and certain ministers who were once full, when they are now empty. I have prayed many years ago asking, Lord, don’t let me lose Your presence. Don’t let me lose Your anointing. And He said to me, “if you stay humble and you always give me the Glory, I will always be with you, and I will carry you all the days of your life.” That same word is for everyone here today. It doesn’t matter how big your ministry is? It doesn’t matter how your name gets bigger, let the name of Jesus get bigger than your name. Hallelujah.

Remember, when God looks at people, He look at them differently. God doesn’t look at your colour or skin. He doesn’t look at where we live or what car we drive, He looks at the heart. When He sees the hearts of the people, He sees hearts that are hungry for Him. The bible says, For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him [2 Chronicles 16:9]. God is looking for people whom He can show Himself strong. If He found me in the East Cape of South Africa, He is able to find you anywhere.
