When the water starts boiling it is foolish to turn off the heat. Nelson Mandela
This is one quote from Nelson Mandela that sticks in my mind. My passion is Africa, South Africa and Uganda in particular. I first read his autobiography within three days. I couldnt put it down. To know what this man went through for the freedom of his country in truly inspiring. three years on from reading it, i can still hear his voice reading me his life. This quote rings true to so many things but being on fire for God seems to be the main message Gods wants us all to hear. When someone starts to become on fire for God they are boiling they can either stop boiling and become stale. Stop going forward and either stay put or start to go backwards. This is seen too often for my liking and is it any wonder why. It is not always the persons fault, if they do not have enough guidance, leadership,oppurtunity or support among fellow christians,becoming stagnant is very possible. However when oppurtunity to further there walk with God comes about, many things are possible. They will either back down or boil over. We must continue and always be boiling and ensure everyone around us is. Boiling water has different stages but as long as we are in that process anything is possible. God wants us to be on fire and boil over. Where about are you when it comes to boiling water?
