Object Talk: On Fire for God

[We had a display made of wooden stick matches; they pictured a fairly elaborate cross. People would take a matchstick with them and pray if they desired.]

I want to give you something. It is a symbol to remind you to give God control of the spiritual area of your life. It is a reminder that the Spiritual Man or Spiritual Women is not lukewarm or cold but on fire for God. As an act of worship and response and as a way of expressing a desire to allow God to have control over this area of your life, I invite to come forward pick up this symbol to remind to continually allow God's Spirit to lead you in every way and to seek knowledge of God's will as well as the power to carry it out. (Just keep it out of the hands of children).
