Sacrifice - Dedication of a Fully Surrendered Heart


The Most High does not live in houses made by men. As the prophet says: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build for me? says the Lord. Or where will my resting place be?” Acts 7:48-49.

In these last days, God desires to host the manifest presence of His glory on His temples which are our bodies, like the dedication of Solomon’s temple depicted in 2 Chronicles 7:1-2:-

When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple. The priests could not enter the temple of the Lord because the glory of the Lord filled it.”

God desires the sacrifice and dedication of a fully surrendered heart. Like Solomon’s temple, the fire of God will come down to consume, refine and purify the vessels (Isaiah 4:4, Malachi 3:2-4, Zechariah 13:9, Mathew 3:11). Then, our earthly bodies are worthy to carry or host the manifest presence of His fire and glory on display for the world. 


The highest spiritual act of worship is to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to Him (Romans 12:1). Nothing can match the sacrifices of a fully surrendered heart.

‎A man of God wrote:- “The greatness of a man’s power is the measure of his surrender." Another wrote:- “Glory is the manifested presence of Jesus. Revival is filled with stories of His manifested presence resting upon His people. HE lives in all believers, but the glory of His presence comes to rest on only a few.”


Hosting or carrying God’s manifest presence is a very precious treasure. Demons could see when the manifest presence of His glory (light) is being hosted on a person (Mark 5:6-7, Acts 16:17) and an awesome way of Him showing up in His manifest fire and glory to introduce us.

Thanks God for the privilege to carry and host the manifest presence of His fire and glory. It was an awesome experience to have the glorious blue flame surged through my entire body and rested upon me. Thereafter, I became a ‘flame of fire’ (Hebrews 1:7), a scorching flame that set the surrounding aflame with the burning presence of God, the Consuming Fire. The evidence of carrying His fire and glory was demonstrated when I preached the gospel for the first time. In the meeting where I spoke, the fire of God zapped through almost everyone in less than 10 minutes. Praise God!

In Jerusalem where we were invited to speak, the hosting pastor, upon seeing that we did not have any notes with us, shifted the pulpit stand and was swept by the fire of God even when nobody prayed for him or touched him. In a mega-Church in a neighbouring country, the Church’s Eldest who was the lead pastor came to touch me and the fire of God threw him to the floor in front of the whole congregation (Luke 8:46). 

In the Bay Area, I blessed a well known healing and deliverance minister with our book 'The Arsenal of Fire'. When she held the book, the fire of God surged through her and threw her to the floor. She testified that this was the first time that she fell under the fire of God. Strong fire Impartation! She has authored several books on healing. 

My book “The Arsenal of Fire” was written with a threefold purpose: (a) To share my supernatural journey into the baptism of fire;(b) To share my walk with the Lord which is a call from Him to return to His basic teaching to love Him and be holy as He is holy so that my physical body is a worthy vessel to host His manifest presence; and (c) To impart an understanding and anointing of the ministry of signs and wonders that is captured in, but not limited to what is in The Arsenal of Fire as we yield to Him in love. Yes, God has prepared great “things” for those who love Him.

To God be the power and glory for ever and ever. Amen!

God bless you!
