"Saturate me with the oil of Thy Spirit, that I may be aflame. Make me Thy fuel O flame of God." Jim Elliot
This is a famous quote of Jim Elliot, the Martyr for Christ in dense forest of Ecuador whilst God called him to reach out to a group of Waodani tribe.
What a prayer! It stirs up the Spirit in me even as I read this out loud and repeat it again, and again and again. Jim Elliot must be so full of the passion to fulfil his calling and he knew well Who he need to depend on.
We cannot be lukewarm; be either cold or hot! If not, God would spit us out. There is no in between living as a Christian. If I do not give every part of my life up, I am only deceiving myself. I am not living a full life that God intends for me. To ask Jesus to be my Lord, He has to be the Lord of all.
I remember someone prophesy over me during school of the Word that I am not lukewarm but I am hot! I received the word and continue to run this race with my Jesus. It is not that life is always bed of roses but I know that if I am in His will, it will be altogether good, pleasing and perfect.
There is nothing like knowing You God, nothing at all. Thank You, Lord for all that you have done for me. Continue to fill me to the overflowing with the power and anointing of Your Holy Spirit to enable me to accomplish all that You have called me to do. I love You!!!!!!!
