CHECK YOUR FIRE
Love is a key that binds a couple together, and without it Marriage loses its savour. It is a burning fire kindled at the beginning of marriage, when it burns with great intensity. Lack of deliberate effort to sustain the fire could make it lose its fervency or go out completely. As you reflect on the intensity of your first love with the benefit of hindsight, is the fire still burning? May the Lord cause a rekindling of the fire of your love this week, and cast out every fire extinguisher from your home in Jesus name.
From our text, which comes in the context of the poetic book of two intimate lovers, love is presented as a very strong unifying factor. It depicts true love as one that demands total possession of each by the other. It is indestructible and beyond value.
In Songs of Solomon 8:6&7:
There are two reasons why you need to check your fire:
The big question, therefore, this morning is: Suppose the fire of love burning in your heart, is it the real fire or a strange fire? Have you done a proper check of the fire that is burning in the heart of that person you are relating with before you get consumed by it?
