STRANGE FIRE!

Rev. Olu-Davies Preachin’…

                                           

                  STRANGE FIRE!

Bible reference: Numbers 16

Amen!

Leadership positions either in church or outside church commands a certain level of authority, pomp, perks and pageantry that makes it the desire of all and sundry even if by questionable means.

This assertion holds true both in the secular or religious settings in contemporary times ….but brethren!..., there is a price to pay before one can be trusted with a leadership of whatever sort either in the church or secular settings and in God’s economy “no man taketh this honor to himself but to them that it’s given of God”. Trying to attain to leadership positions through rebellion and other dubious means in the church and elsewhere is offering strange fire! I make bold to say; without the requisite calling, anointing and unction the sacrifices of these self appointed leaders is despicable to God and incurs His wrath.

Looking at the rebellion of Korah, Dathan and Abiram and the two hundred and fifty censer bearing false prophets, one would clearly see that they coveted the priestly office of Moses and Aaron. Korah, Dathan  and Abiram were the descendants of Reuben, who being the first born; Moses thought to include them in office of the Priests and to be partakers of the priestly ministry… this in itself is not bad? … huh? But they were moved by envy! En’ by all standards, envy is not a fruit of the Spirit?!... lol!

The ground clave under the rebellious Korah, Dathan and Abiram and they were buried alive while fire came from God’s presence and destroyed the two hundred and fifty  censer bearing false prophets.

I pray your heart be enlightened as God grants you understanding.

Shalom!
