๐ฅ THE FIRE THAT WONโT BURN OUT
How Ordinary Obedience Ignites Unstoppable Movements
“Elijah repaired the altar of the Lord that had been torn down…”
โ 1 Kings 18:30
๐ช๏ธ SCENE 0: THE SPARK VS. THE FIREPLACE
Youโve felt itโthat first spark:
- A prayer that shook you.
- A scroll named.
- A wall crumbling.
But sparks die without a fireplace.
Historyโs pattern:
- A revival ignites (Azusa Street, Jesus Movement).
- Flames spread wildly.
- Thenโฆ embers cool into institutions, routines, empty halls.
Why?
Not lack of passion.
Lack of altars.
Elijah didnโt just call fire downโ
he rebuilt the altar first.
๐งฑ SCENE 1: THE 3 ALTARS EVERY MOVEMENT NEEDS
๐น 1. The Altar of Daily Obedience (1 Kings 17:6)
Ravens fed Elijah one meal at a time.
Your โdaily breadโ might look like:
- 10 minutes in Scripture
- 1 act of bold love
- 1 line in your scroll
๐น 2. The Altar of Hidden Fuel (1 Kings 19:8)
Elijahโs 40-day strength came from one angelic meal.
Your hidden fuel might be:
- Sabbath rest (not hustle)
- Silent prayer (not performative posts)
- Fireteam whispers (not stage lights)
๐น 3. The Altar of Multiplication (2 Kings 2:9)
Elisha begged: โDouble my portion.โ
Your multiplication altar might be:
- Train one (discipleship)
- Fund one (business)
- Send one (mission)
โModern movements chase sparks. Ancient ones built altars.โ
๐๏ธ SCENE 2: THE HOUSE-CHURCH FIREPLACE
First-century believers didnโt have:
- Cathedrals.
- Livestreams.
- Denominational budgets.
They had:
- Homes (Acts 2:46).
- Shared meals (Luke 24:30).
- Obedience loops (2 Timothy 2:2).
Like Lydia:
- Sold purple cloth (business).
- Opened her home (altar).
- Birthed Europeโs first church (multiplication).
Your living room > A vacant megachurch.

๐ค Case Study:
Samuel:
- Faced with no startup capital, he began small.
- Started a poultry business (altar #1)
- Hosted discipleship dinners in his rented home (altar #2)
- Now funds three house churches from monthly profits (altar #3)
