A few years ago, I got some interesting insights about fire. I made an article out of that and has subsequently developed it into a book (It is yet to be published).
During that study, I saw the beautiful aspect of fire. I saw fire as a wonderful object in our walk with God and journey through life.
The concept of fire is one that has different effect depending on application. One application makes it an object of destruction, another application makes it a refining object. For what this series of thought is intended to achieve, I will dwell on the latter application.
The process of refining is one that is a crucial one. This is where God fine tunes us to meet His standard. This is where we trade our filthy, dirty and disjointed nature for His pure, holy and righteous nature. This is where we are made vessels unto honour. This is where self is burned up and the glory of God, as a consequence of His Spirit, shines through us.
You need to be refined.
