IGNITED FOR PURPOSE (THE FIRE THAT DEFINES A MOVEMENT)
(City of Ebube Sermon)
📖 Key Scriptures
Jeremiah 20:9 – “But His word was in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones…”
Acts 1:8 – “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you…”
Luke 24:32 – “Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked with us on the road?”
🎤 INTRODUCTION
Every genuine move of God is marked by fire.
Not emotion. Not excitement. But divine fire that changes identity, direction, and purpose.
City of Ebube is not a social gathering—it is a burning generation.
A people God has ignited to reveal His presence in their world.
The question is not if you are saved…
The question is: Are you on fire?
🔥 POINT 1: GOD’S PURPOSE ALWAYS COMES WITH FIRE
When God calls a man, He doesn’t just give instructions—He gives ignition.
Examples:
Moses saw fire in the bush
Elijah called down fire
Pentecost came as fire
🔥 Fire is God’s signature on purpose.
If there is no fire, there is no true encounter.
🦁 POINT 2: FIRE IS WHAT SEPARATES THE CHOSEN
Many people are informed about God… but few are ignited by God.
Fire does three things:
It separates impurity
It purifies intention
It marks ownership
2 Timothy 2:21 – “…a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master.”
🔥 Without fire, identity is confused.
🔥 With fire, destiny becomes clear.
👑 POINT 3: YOU CANNOT CARRY PURPOSE WITHOUT BURNING
Purpose is heavy.
Calling is costly.
Assignment requires fire.
A cold believer cannot sustain spiritual assignment.
That is why God ignites first before He sends.
Acts 2:3 – “Tongues of fire rested on each of them.”
🔥 Fire is what makes ordinary people carry divine responsibility.
🌍 POINT 4: FIRE IS MEANT TO SPREAD
God does not ignite people for decoration—He ignites them for impact.
True fire:
Spreads to families
Spreads to cities
Spreads to nations
A burning believer cannot be hidden.
Mark 16:15 – “Go into all the world and preach the gospel…”
🔥 One fire can start a movement.
🔥 One life can awaken a generation.
🔥 POINT 5: MAINTAINING THE FIRE REQUIRES INTIMACY
Fire does not sustain itself.
You keep it through:
Prayer
The Word
Worship
Obedience
1 Thessalonians 5:19 – “Do not quench the Spirit.”
🔥 What you feed determines what burns in you.
🔥 CONCLUSION
God is raising a people who will not be cold, passive, or distracted.
He is raising a burning generation.
City of Ebube is not just a name—it is a fire identity.
You are not just saved…
You are ignited.
PRAYER POINTS

My life will spread revival.
I am a burning light in my generation.
