I should be the one to apologize sir .
Actually I don't visit nairaland consistently
Because I'm struggling to create a balance between work and ministry .
I think we need to learn how to make everything fall into one place .
Ministry should be work and work should be ministry .
Home should be church and Church should be home .
Living should be calling and calling should be what we're living .

Every body must go through some struggle before perfection will be experienced .

Now ,answering you question or giving you clarity for discernment :

Everybody has a calling from God .everybody !

Either to be a lawyer , politician,doctor,pastor,teacher,farmer,orphan age owner engineer,business person etcetera.

Now no one will enter their calling until they have an encounter with God .
You phone wouldn't be able to perceive a call if it's not connected to the services of a sim card .
Unless it comes in contact with a sim before it can receive a call .

So like ,you actually have a calling on your life but you were unable to perceive it because you were not in contact with God through delibrate and consistent prayer .

But that prayer group you joined gave you the platform to exercise your spirit ,and by that act your spirit began to contact the realm of God experientially .

The oil you felt is as a result of the rigorous or consistent prayer you offered .
The oil signifies your appointment into an office .
You were called before this time but you were not aware because your spirit hadn't contact God in such manner before .

You probably must have been praying before then but never felt such .

But I can tell that this time was different because you were engaged to an organized group that afford you the chance to make deliberate decision about praying .

Secondly , according to you : you had doubt about the faith ; and God was willing to take away your doubt .

So the oil was poured on you to bring you into the consciousness that you have been called to serve God .
Now .
The callings of God are not limited to the five fold ministry .
One could be called to be a doctor ,a politician etc.

But the way to distinguish you calling is through revelation ,inner witness, prophecy or burdens .

The kind of burdens you have
(The inner troubling of the heart, not JUST the satisfaction of the heart as some have erroneously taught .)
reveals the kind of calling God is calling you to answer.

What problem are you seeing in the society today that troubles your heart that you wish if you could have your way you would be willing to give even your own life to solve it ?

that is what God is calling you to .

IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS
THEN:
GO INTO YOUR SECRET PLACE AND lock YOURSELF UP CONSISTENTLY FOR DAYS.
Pray to God to reveal his burdens to your heart and then SIT QUIETLY AND THEN LISTEN TO TOUR HEART .
don't say a word just listen .as you do so you will find something troubling you .
What you find is your assignment ,and your purpose .


Now coming to the fire you felt burning on you .
The fire is a prayer support .
It is the manifestation of the spirit of prayer and supplication .
The fire is actually quickening (strengthening) you to pray .



You will never now the value of that fire except as you decided to take deliberate action to exercise your self in prayer ( especially praying in tongues ) while you feel it .

As you prayer under that fire you will discover the pains and weakness of your body gradually fading away ,and you could end up praying for as long as you have never imagined .

I personally believe this is one of the spiritual support somebody like apostle babalola got that made him prayed for three days straight on his kneels .

God knew a time as the one you are in currently will eventually come and he knew you will need help, so that's why he sent you that fire so that you might take advantage of it power .

For the spirit helpeth our weakness .
If that spirit that raise Jesus dwells in you
Then he who raised Jesus from the dead would give life , strength and energy to your mortal ,weak,tired,frail body through his spirit that dwells in you .

So this fire is God's help to revive your spiritual life so that you can keep having contact with him through consistent ,and deliberate prayer .

If you feel too weak to pray then start by chanting .

If fasting is proving hard then stop regular fast. And Instead fast only six of four or three hours and drink only water while you fast .

I have discovered that what moves god is not how long you fats but how consistent you are with it and how you relate with people and your environment while you fast .

Don't just fats if you want answers to the fasting . You can decide to do community service ,go out and give somebody in need .
,Share Jesus with someone , intercede for nations ,missionaries , president ,pastors , labouring women, orphans etc.

Doing these bring result to fasting .
Don't just fast and pray alone add good works done by faith to these .
And even if you can't see God honour him by your posture ,and behavior while you pray or fast .

Please feel free to notify if these is helpful or you need more clarification or help to discern .

I really much appreciate it really ministered to me, especially the part when i have been given prayer strength, i do remember in a certain dream after that feeling came years ago, i was told my arome osayi that i am strong enough, never knew what that meant till now.

Lastly sir sorry for bothering you, when i usually sing to God during worship i feel something like a cold breeze on my back (those scapulars left and right) seprately on each side, but its been 1 year now i don't knw if i lost it or something, but i don't sing as much as i do again to him and even when i do sing i'm just so distracted in my mind even in prayers

Pls looking forward to your reply, sorry i said some unneccesary things, i just felt like pouring, as i havent told anyone in details like dis

Good afternoon sir, i've been following since a year now, i've never really created a narialand acc since 2012, but you made me create one.
So i'll start by saying thank you sir.
So about 2023 nov, while just randomly praying with a group for 1hr every day in school, (then i just said i wanted to know if christainity was thru, as i had been born to the faith, but no tangible stuff,) so after almost 7 to 8 months of that prayer altho we were faulting sometimes, i just discovered one day that my head was hot, even when i sang songs and pray i feel hot, and sometimes it get so hot i have to stop my prayers i was feeling like my head was burning. (At first it was like someone was pouring me oil when i prayed, then it moved, sometimes to the back of my head sometimes i feel at the forhead, and mostly it just sits on the middle) its almost like it switches i dunno

So fastfoward to mid 2024 i lost this stuff due to my negligence in devotion and all, but now since then its back but i noticed it isnt as strong as it was then despite i have routines and have built many things around it, but the lord gave me a dream that 2023 and said it was the hand of the lord, i dont really understand till now.

Also i used to feel something like a cold fire on my back, one on my left scapular d other on my right like in the form of wings when i sang worship to God that early 2024, but all these things i dont know where they went, i know i should be praying long but it just feels hard, can you give me some insight sir.

God has told me many things mostly thru dreams,but sometimes i just know and dont act, or should i say i feel weak to act and also my health started going bad i cant even fast again, and i just keep going down, i dunno what to do
