DON'T HOLD IT IN- SPEAK OUT

November 24, 2016 · Lanre Oyeleke · 2 views

Jer20:9 But if I say I’ll never mention the LORD or speak in his name, his word burns in my heart like a fire. It’s like a fire in my bones! I am worn out trying to hold it in! I can’t do it! NLT

A book was written in honour of the late Arch Bishop Benson Idahosa, it was titled 'Fire In His Bones'. In the book, we saw a man that couldn't rest until he delivered the message God gave him to his idolatrous kinsmen. He went everywhere he could on foot and bicycle just to preach the word of God because he couldn't hold the word of God in any longer. It was like a fire burning his bones.

Do you know that God has given you a message that you must deliver to this generation? If you don't deliver that message, you may burn from within. When you see men that failed to obey God's call into the ministry, there's a fire burning inside them, it makes them look miserable sometimes because they are holding in what shouldn't be inside. They won't have rest until they unleash it.

The gospel of Christ to the unsaved should be burning inside of us and we shouldn't hold it in, unleash the gospel from within. Paul was a preacher of the gospel everywhere he went, he was unleashing the fire in the word. You shouldn't have rest until you unleash the word to the lost souls around because that's where it is needed. Pray that God's word be like fire in your bones so that you won't hold it in.

Action point

Father, I receive the grace to unleash your word In Jesus name. Amen
