Title: Igniting the Apostolic Spark in Youth: Let the Fire Fall!
Introduction:
Every youth is like gas in a cylinder—full of potential, power, and purpose. But gas without fire is dormant. It holds within it the ability to cook, to feed the hungry, to warm the cold, and to change the atmosphere—but only if ignited. Likewise, many young people today are full of divine gifts, dreams, prophetic mandates, and apostolic assignments. But without the fire of God, they remain unused, unimpactful, and unproductive.
The truth is simple:
No fire, no cooking. No cooking, no food. No food, people remain hungry.
Many souls are waiting to eat from your fire-kindled life. If your fire is off, they remain hungry, stranded, and hopeless. You are not just a vessel—you are meant to be a burning oven where divine meals are prepared for nations!
You Are the Gas—Potential in Waiting
Every youth is loaded like a cylinder of gas—compressed with ideas, spiritual gifts, purpose, energy, and grace.
“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”
— Jeremiah 1:5 (KJV)
You are not an accident. God has already deposited in you what the world needs. But gas can remain idle for years if there's no ignition. You may have a calling, but until fire meets your life, your calling cannot function.
The Spark—Encountering the Fire
Just as gas needs a spark to begin burning, your life needs an apostolic ignition—a fire that comes from God to set you ablaze.
“He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire.”
— Matthew 3:11 (KJV)
This fire is not ordinary—it is divine. It is a spiritual ignition that awakens your inner man, causes your gifts to manifest, and empowers you to serve. When fire meets gas, heat and flame burst forth—and you begin to cook destinies, feed the nations, and lead others into their purpose.
Why Fire is Critical
- Fire brings visibility — people are drawn to flames.
- Fire enables function — cooking cannot happen without it.
- Fire signals presence — it shows God is active in you.
- Fire prevents decay — a life ablaze resists spiritual coldness.
“Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out...”
— Proverbs 26:20a (KJV)
Without fire:
- Your calling will remain a theory.
- Your gifts will be locked.
- Your generation will remain hungry.
The Source of Fire
Where does this fire come from?
-
The Holy Spirit:
“And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.”
— Acts 2:3 (KJV) -
The Word of God:
“Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD...”
— Jeremiah 23:29 (KJV) -
Fellowship with God:
Moses encountered the fire of God in the wilderness (Exodus 3:2-5). Alone with God, fire fell. -
Impartation and Prayer:
Paul told Timothy to “stir up the gift” (2 Timothy 1:6)—it was through laying on of hands and prayer.
How to Catch Fire Immediately
- Consecrate Yourself: Separate from sin and distractions.
- Pray Fervently: Fire falls in prayer meetings. Upper Room fire started through waiting and praying.
- Study the Word: Keep wood on the altar.
- Connect to Fire Carriers: Iron sharpens iron—stay close to burning men and women.
- Worship Deeply: Fire thrives where worship ascends.
- Desire the Fire: Hunger attracts Heaven’s flame.
“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come...there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind...”
— Acts 2:1-2 (KJV)
Sustaining the Fire
Once fire is lit, it must be kept alive!
“The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.”
— Leviticus 6:13 (KJV)
How to keep it burning:
- Daily devotion and intimacy with God
- Regular fasting and prayer
- Obedience to the Spirit’s leading
- Avoiding sin and distractions
- Serving others with your gifts
Practical Example:
David in the Fields
David was a “gas” youth—anointed but hidden in the wilderness. But when the fire of God came upon him through the anointing by Samuel (1 Samuel 16:13), he became unstoppable. That fire led him to slay Goliath, write Psalms, lead a nation, and father a legacy that birthed Christ.
Modern Example: Kathryn Kuhlman
As a young woman, Kathryn was “just gas”—talented but broken. But when she encountered the fire of the Holy Spirit, her ministry exploded. She became one of the greatest healing evangelists of the 20th century, feeding multitudes with the power of God.
Conclusion: Let the Fire Fall!
You are full of gas, full of destiny, full of apostolic potential—but Heaven is waiting for you to catch fire. This generation is hungry—people are starving for love, truth, power, and deliverance. You are meant to cook spiritual food—your words, your worship, your walk, your wisdom.
But without fire, all that stays locked within.
Don’t die a full cylinder. Burn! Flame! Ignite! Cook! Serve!
For the glory of God and the salvation of men.
Prayer:
Lord, ignite me with Your fire. Let my life burn for Your glory. Awaken every dormant gift in me. Stir the apostolic spark within me. Let the nations eat from the table You set through my life. I refuse to remain gas—I must burn for You! In Jesus' name, Amen.
