Topic: STRANGE FIRE
Biblical Text: And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron took either of them his censer and put fire therein and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the Lord, which he commanded them not. [Leviticus 10:1]
On a particular day, Moses instructed Aaron to take a young calf for a sin offering, a ram for a burnt offering and a bullock plus a ram for peace offerings. He told him that the Lord has commanded it and that the glory of the Lord shall appear as they offer the sacrifice. These offerings were meant for the atonement of the sin of Aaron, his sons and the people of Israel as the Lord has commanded. True to Mosess words, the glory of the Lord appeared and there also came a fire upon the altar to consume the burnt offering and the fat. However, the sons of Aaron- Nadab and Abihu had other ideas; they took their censers (a vessel on which coals of fire were put), put their fire there in, then put it on incense (which only Aaron had the authority to do) and offered strange fire before the Lord. Immediately they did this, fire came down from the Lord and devoured them. Their punishment for offering the strange fire was death. In service to God, we must be conscious not to offer strange fire in His presence. Nadab and Abihu either thought God would overlook their sins or consider it as nothing. Had they known? A chorister that dresses indecently for a church ministration is offering a strange fire; an usher using vulgar language in the presence of the Lord is offering strange fire. Small acts of disobedience precedes great acts of rebellion; do not take God for granted and risk His wrath by offering strange fire in His presence.
KNOW IT ∞ Do not offer strange fire in the presence of the Lord, it can attract His wrath.
READ IT ∞ Leviticus 9:24, 10:1-2, Romans 10:2
PRAY IT ∞ Father, I receive grace never to offer strange fire in your presence.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR ∞ 1 Corinthians 4-6
