NO MORE DRY ALTARS: REKINDLING THE FIRE OF PRAYER AND WORSHIP (3)
Times Of Refreshing Daily Devotional
Date: Friday, 18 April 2025
Topic: No More Dry Altars – Rekindling the Fire of Prayer and Worship (3)
Focus: Fire Follows Hunger
Message:
Many altars have grown cold, but God is calling us to repair and relight them. This series awakens fresh hunger and daily devotion.
Key Verse:
📖 1 Kings 18:30 – “Elijah repaired the altar of the Lord that had been torn down.”
Devotional:
The fire of God doesn’t fall randomly—it responds to hunger. When Elijah stood before the people on Mount Carmel, he wasn’t casual or passive—he was desperate for the living God to show Himself strong. He cried out boldly. He expected Heaven to move. And Heaven answered hunger with fire. In the kingdom of God, hunger is the magnet for miracles. Not talent. Not popularity. Not comfort. Hunger.
📖 Scripture Reading:
Matthew 5:6 – “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”
Isaiah 44:3 – “For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground.”
💧 Refreshing for the Day:
God fills the hungry. God answers the desperate. God revives the seeking heart. So, beloved, if your altar feels dry today, maybe it’s not because God doesn’t want to move—maybe He’s waiting for a deeper cry to rise from you. Hunger pulls Heaven close. Ask yourself: “Am I desperate for God, or am I comfortable with dryness?” Cry out today: “Lord, make me hungry again!” The fire falls where hunger rises. Stay Refreshed!
✨ Note This:
Your hunger determines the intensity of your fire.
🛡️ Responsibility:
- Set aside a time today where you intentionally stir hunger.
- Pray longer. Worship deeper. Read more Word. Press beyond your normal.
🙏 Prayer:
Lord, I refuse to stay dry. Stir in me a hunger that shakes Heaven. Make me desperate again for Your presence, Your power, and Your voice. I cry out—Come, Lord Jesus! In Jesus’ name, Amen!
🔥 Prophetic Declaration:
I am hungry for God! I am desperate for more! My altar is drenched with hunger, and the fire of revival is falling on me! Amen!
📖 Bible Texts:
1 Kings 18:30, Matthew 5:6, Isaiah 44:3
