INTRODUCTION:
A reflection on the Apostle Paul's words to Timothy in 2 Timothy 1:6,
Where Paul wrote, "Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God which is in thee by the putting on of my hands."
Paul's words carry the idea of repeating an earlier action or doing something again. It is important that our trademark, "The Fire of the Holy Ghost," be rekindled if we must go with the name or slogan "AG for life!"
We have to be enthusiastic, fervent, passionate, vigorous, wholehearted, and zealous.
In classical Greek, fire was a life-giving force. Fire was used on the heart of every ancient home to keep the people warm.
It was used in matters related to the divine and the supernatural, and it was used as a force to defeat enemies.
Fire was central to life and considered essential for one's existence. Our lives are unsustainable without fire.
In this season of walking in the light, it is wisdom that we walk in the light. Paul's words to Timothy imply that the fire in his heart had ebbed to embers on a low burn.
We must begin to passionately and rigorously stoke and stir up the gift of God in our life. We must wake up and take action.
