NO MORE DRY ALTARS: REKINDLING THE FIRE OF PRAYER AND WORSHIP (7)
Times Of Refreshing Daily Devotional
Date: Tuesday, 22 April 2025
Focus: Let the Fire Fall
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 altar was rebuilt. The sacrifice was placed. The prayer was offered. And then—the fire of God fell from Heaven and consumed everything Elijah had prepared. This is the pattern: Rebuild the altar. Offer the sacrifice. Cry out in hunger and faith. Then—fire falls. You don’t have to manipulate God to send revival. You don’t have to beg Him to move. You prepare—and He responds. He’s still the God who answers by fire!
Beloved, when you make your life an altar—fire becomes inevitable. When everything is surrendered and the altar is whole, revival is not just possible—it’s unstoppable. So, today, don’t just hope for the fire—expect it. Declare it. Prepare for it. Live ready. Because where there’s an altar that’s rebuilt and ready, Heaven always answers with fire.
📖 Scripture Reading:
1 Kings 18:38 – “Then the fire of the Lord fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench.”
Acts 2:3 – “They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.”
💧 Refreshing for the Day:
Today, lift your eyes with expectation. The fire will fall on your rebuilt altar. It may not look exactly how you imagined—but it will come. Stay expectant. Stay surrendered. The fire follows the prepared heart. Stay Refreshed!
✨ Note This:
Revival is Heaven’s response to a prepared altar.
🛡️ Responsibility:
- Spend time today boldly asking God: “Let the fire fall on my life, Lord!”
- Worship, pray, and welcome His fresh fire into every area of your life.
🙏 Prayer:
Lord, I have rebuilt the altar. I have laid down my life. I have cried out in hunger. Now, Lord—let the fire fall! Fall upon my heart, my home, my generation. Consume everything that is not of You and ignite everything that is. Make my life a blazing testimony of Your glory! In Jesus’ name, Amen!
🔥 Prophetic Declaration:
The fire of God falls on my altar! I am consumed with His glory! I am filled, purified, and empowered! Revival lives in me—and it will not be quenched! In Jesus’ name, Amen!
