Memory Verse: Matt.3:11
Text: 1 Kings 18:30-39
Introduction
In the Old Testament, the fire on an altar MUST not go out.
(Lev.6:13)
HOW DO I KEEP THE FIRE BURNING?
1. The Wood (Lev. 6:12)
If you want fire, get wood. If you want the wine of the Spirit,
go for the waters of the Word. John 2:7-9. each time we
read, study or hear God’s word, a measure of grace, faith
and power flow into us. That’s what Jeremiah called “fire in
my bones”. (Jer.20:9)
2. The Sacrifice Lev.6:12,13)
You. Yes, you are that sacrifice. Rom.12:1. are you totally
God’s? Ias your life too precious? Are you ready to lay down
your all?
Phil.3:7-9, Matt.16:24-25, Acts 21:13
3. Order (Lev.6:12)
It isn’t an “anyhow” thing. Are your relationships, Christian
life, associations, business dealings etc in order? Matt.5:23
4. Prayer.
No power on earth can beat praying in the Holy Ghost. It
means praying as directed by, under the influence of,
Empowered by, teleguided with deadly accuracy by God
Himself!
Conclusion: Lord, may I always be on fire for you

Topic: Tithe
Memory Verse: Mal.3:10
Text: Deut.14:22; Mal.3:6-12
Introduction
What is “tithe”? This is the only aspect in the Bible where
God asks us to prove whether or not He is faithful. Tithing
stated with Abraham. (Gen.14:19).
Some people see tithing as giving or as God’s way of
collecting their gross income in order to keep the temple
priests (or pastor) happy. Tithing is more than all that. It is
an agreement that your business (or your life) is “God and
Sons Ltd.”It is a door.
A tithe is 10% of your gross income. Somebody likened it to
“Rent”!
Where do you pay your tithe to? Your tithe is meant to be
paid to the local assembly where you worship.
God’s design. What God had in mind when He asks us to
pay our it is for our tithe to be:
a. The key that opens the heavens to release
unquantifiable blessing
b. A strong defence against every devourer
c. A covenant connector
d. The weapon against miscarriage
e. The link to uncommon favour
Who should tithe?
As long as you are alive, God expects you to pay tithes.

Memory Verse: Mal.3:10
Text: Gen.14:18-20
Last Week, we started on the issue of tithes, what it is
and what God wants to use it in our lives for. A lot of
believers are faithful in tithing, and yet complain of not
being blessed.
Discuss: Is this true? What could cause it?
The tithe is much more than money. It is about obedience
to God’s word. It is about enjoying open heaven. Not
paying tithe = close the heaven
All
God asks for the tithe of all.
i. Gen.14:20
ii. Lev.27:30
iii. Deut.26:12
This is the same in almost all scripture where tithing is
commanded. Even Jacob, the swindler, agreed. Gen.28:22.
It is a tithe of ALL. Your tithe is 10% of your gross income:
salaries, bonuses, dividends, a dash, a gift, a grant, profit. If
it is yours, your tithe is before your tax. (God comes before
government, even in the dictionary)
If you are in business however, you don’t tithe a loan, or
the capital. You tithe the increase, the profit.

Memory Verse: Matt.3:11
Text: 1 Kings 18:30-39
Introduction
In Old Testament days, sacrifices to God were always done
on altars. It was a place where the love & mercy of God
met the sins of man. It was a place where relationships with
God were made, covenants established, promises made
and mercy released.
The Altar is the meeting point of God and man.
(Gen.28:15-18). It is a place where relationship with God is
enthroned. The Fire is the symbol of God’s presence.
(Matt.311, Exod.13:21-22)
Discussion
What is fire for? What would happen if there were no fire?
Why Fire?
1. There is a war going on – the war between the flesh
and the spirit. (Gal. 5:17-18)
2. To stand out in life and destiny, free of errors, I need
the fire. To stand out for God, I must have the fire.
3. A cold altar is a diseased condition.
4. Fire refines. Fire purifies. It tests. It burns.
Prov.6:27. The “clothes” is his flesh. Traces of lying,
pride, arrogance, show off, love of respect, lust to
name a few are like green fat flies that settle on a
cold altar. Remember Eccl. 10:1. These “flies” can’t
land on an altar ablaze.
In the Old Testament, the fire on an altar MUST not go out.

Memory Verse: Heb.5:14
Text: 1 Chr.5:18; Heb.5:13-14
Introduction
Someone once said, “everybody ought to know everything
about something, and something about everything.” This is
also the essence of education.
As our name is, Warriors are valiant men, skilful, able. This
is a description of expertise. Ps.144:1. Warriors are men,
experts in warfare.
In these last days, God requires men, experts in certain
areas. Paul, for in stance , was an expert in the law.
(Acts.5:34, Acts 22:3).
Training:
1. Commit yourself to Reading; read wide
2. Commit yourself to Prayer. And the Word of God.
Wisdom and Understanding come in the place of
prayer. Job 32:8-9
3. Commit yourself to Learning.
4. Commit yourself to Practising.
5. Commit yourself to continuous development of your
skills. (1Kings 5:6)
6. Commit yourself to offering God the best.
Conclusion: God deserves the best. We have been given
the personal responsibility of fully developing and profiting
with every gift that He has given us.

Memory Verse: Mal.3:10
Text: Mal.3:6-12; Deut.26:1-11
When you tithe in faith, certain things will happen.
Enumerate them (Mal.3:6-12)
Many however have missed these because they have not
been tithing with purpose. Most do it casually, if not
carelessly. Please don’t. Not anymore. Treat it as special. It
is a pillar of God’s covenant.
When you pay your tithe, you should do it with clear
purpose, deliberately, as in Deut.26.1-11.
1. Use it to connect to all the blessing above (as in
Malachi) and much more.
2. Come forward and present yourself before the Lord.
3. While there, pray, using your tithe to connect to the
covenant and the blessings of that God guarantees.
4. The presiding minister then commands the blessing
of God upon your life and rebukes every devourer.
5. Keep confessing those blessings as yours
Never anymore treat your tithe as casual. God does not.
Don’t borrow, or “use” your tithe. This is usually a trick of
the enemy to steal something from you. Walk in obedience
and experience God’s faithfulness. HE says, “Try me…”

Memory Verse: John 3:30
Introduction
Last week, we saw that we are filled at each point in time
with something. Or someone. We also discussed what God
wants us to be filled with.
To be filled with something, means a particular content
needs to be evacuated. Something must go out before
something can come in. Something has to reduce before
something can increase.
As Christ’s disciples, you must get to a point in our walk
with God where someone has to decrease in your life: YOU!
Case Studies
1. John the Baptist was active in God’s work. But he came to a
point when he knew he had to decrease. (John 3:30)
2. Jesus Christ, God’s own Son came to that point too. Luke
22:41-44, John 12:24
3. Abraham, in his walk with God, had that same encounter.
Gen.22:2,6. He had to die to his natural self-preservation
instincts. He had to let go, and let God.
4. Job came to that point too, and he confessed, “though he slay
me...” Job 13:15a
5. Paul, paints his own experience clearly in 1Cor.15:31
God gives His Spirit (& power) without measure. John 3:34.
But the more of Him you want, the less of you there must
be. More Him=Less you. More you=Less Him
What then do we do? (Exod 3:10a)
1. Humility
2. Holiness. Hed 12:14
3. More time with Him. Walk with Him.
