There was a time you couldn’t stay away from the presence of God.
You prayed with tears.
You worshipped with hunger.
You read the Word with passion.
You longed for Him more than anything else.
But then life happened…
A job came along.
Money came along.
Marriage came along.
Unemployment came along.
Divorce came along.
Bills came along.
Temptation came.
Sin crept in.
That relationship happened…
And now, if you are honest with yourself, something is missing.
The fire is not the same.
The hunger is not the same.
The thirst is not the same.
Child of God, look at yourself…
You are still going to church, but it has become a routine.
You are still serving, but your heart is no longer burning.
You are still singing, but there are no tears anymore.
You are still active outwardly, but inwardly… you feel dry.
Hear this and hear it well:
When the enemy wants to destroy a man, he doesn’t start with your finances.
He doesn’t start with your marriage.
He doesn’t start with your career.
He starts with your spiritual life.
Because once your altar is down…
Everything else will eventually collapse.
The Bible says in Revelation 2:4-5:
"Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works..."
You didn’t lose it in one day.
You drifted.
Little by little…
Prayer reduced.
Word study reduced.
Conviction reduced.
Sensitivity reduced.
Until one day, you woke up and realized:
“I am no longer who I used to be in God.”
But hear me—this is not a message of condemnation.
This is a call to revival.
It is time to return.
Jeremiah 29:13 says:
"And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart."
God is not far from you.
He is waiting for your cry.
It’s time to go back to the secret place.
Not for show.
Not for routine.
But for real encounter.
Cry to Him:
“Lord, fix me again.
Restore my hunger.
Restore my thirst.
Restore my fire.”
David prayed in Psalm 51:10-12:
"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me… Restore to me the joy of Your salvation."
That is the prayer you need now.
Not “God give me money.”
Not “God fix my situation.”
But “God, fix me.”
Because when you are fixed,
everything around you begins to align.
Child of God, don’t let the fire die.
Don’t normalize dryness.
Don’t get comfortable with being spiritually empty.
Don’t settle for routine without presence.
Matthew 5:6 says:
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled."
If you can hunger again…
You will be filled again.
If you can thirst again…
You will encounter Him again.
Go back to what you used to do:
Pray again.
Fast again.
Study again.
Worship again.
Cry again.
Not because you are perfect…
But because you are desperate.
No matter what life brings—
money, marriage, problems, pressure—
Don’t let your fire die.
Because everything in this life can be restored…
But a dead spiritual life,
if ignored,
can cost you everything.
It’s time to revive yourself.
It’s time to return to your first love.
It’s time to burn again.
