“What happened to your fire?” was trending on X this morning around Apostle Grace Lubega’s Phaneroo Sunday Service in Kampala. Phaneroo streams its Sunday services live. I couldn’t find a full write-up of the message beyond posts on X, so I’m not going to put words in his mouth. But the question deserves an answer.
The question
One line shared from the service hit me: don’t confuse being near the glory of God with growing in the things of God. You can sit under a strong ministry and watch miracles happen, and still let your own flame go low.
Paul told Timothy to “fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you” (2 Timothy 1:6). The disciples on the road to Emmaus said, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” (Luke 24:32). The fire comes back the same way it started: time with Jesus, in His Word, in prayer, letting the Holy Spirit breathe on the embers.
My take
Garlic on the details: this is built on X posts, not a transcript. But the call is real. If you’re running on fumes, don’t wait for the next big service. Get alone with Him today and ask the Holy Spirit to set you on fire again. “Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord” (Romans 12:11).
God Bless, and Needs Garlic!
