Do not Become Frozen
Don't become frozen As I sat in Church, they mentioned being hot for Christ, and this analogy dropped in my spirit. Imagine a kettle of water on the stovetop, it gets to the boiling point and continues to boil while releasing lots of steam into the air and it remains on the stovetop; This is how our relationship with God should be. When we stay connected to Him, to the source of our heat, we can be a vessel to release His Glory, His message, His Love and be a Light to those around us (i.e. the steam). To continually do so, we need to stay connected to Him, the stovetop needs to stay on. How do we stay connected? Through prayers, worship, praise, and bible study; through personal devotion to Him. You need to build your altar, pour oil on it daily, consecrate it, and let there be fire on that altar (This is something we all know). Imagine taking that same water and leaving it on the stovetop with the burner turned off, it will initially stay hot, but it will gradually lose its heat...
