The article reflects on the symbolism of the Fire Horse in the Chinese New Year through a Christian lens, emphasizing horses as biblical symbols of strength, power, and readiness for battle. It highlights how horses in Scripture represent might and decisive action but warns against placing trust in visible, worldly powers—such as money, influence, or technology—instead of relying on God. The narrative recalls how God instructed Israel not to depend on horses or chariots for security, illustrating that true victory comes from faith and obedience rather than human resources.

The author challenges believers to examine their spiritual readiness and reliance, contrasting “show horses” that impress but do not fight with “war horses” prepared for Kingdom assignments. Drawing on biblical examples and the meaning of Archippus (“master of horses”), the article calls Christians to purposeful action empowered by the Holy Spirit, not by worldly strength. As the Fire Horse year symbolizes urgency and passion, the message encourages believers to move forward in faith, fully dependent on God’s Spirit for victory and impact.
