REVIVAL MUST START WITH YOU
Min.I.Samuel
A revival like every other word has been seen to be expressed based on its discourse both in the circular and spiritual world.
This simply implies that the importance of revival in the world today cannot be overemphasized.
But over the years, the rate of occurrences most especially the ones which have claimed lives and properties are becoming alarming to an extent it now has the attention of people of the public to itself.
While few have been attended to, most are left unsolved due to a lack of lasting solutions to them.
The truth is that it is impossible to donate or give out what is not in your possession or that you are not a carrier, no matter your status.
So while all these occurrences last, the only lifeblood to get the system treated is revival. Revival in our homes, society, economy, churches, etc. will go a long way.
Tracing back what revival means from the biblical meaning to its lexical and contextual meaning, you will realize that after the life in us, the second to none thing that we need is revival.
Let’s dive in
About Revival
Beyond gathering people for crusades singing joyous songs, revival is more important than that even when they are still it features sometimes.
Revival in a simple expression means revolution; casting out every burdensome act that originally deviated you from your real personality from creation.
For better understanding, revival is giving up your own will to God in deep obedience. It starts with a renewed conviction of sins and repentance followed by a desire to live in obedience to God.
It is usually initiated divinely by God. And that is the reason why revival will not be established without the leading of the holy spirit.
By the leading of the holy spirit, revival infuses a new spirit in you which mentors, guides and fix you when you are broken.
The book of Isaiah says ‘ And thy ears shall hear a word behind you saying, this is the way, walk ye in it, when you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left’ (Isa. 30vs21).
Why walk alone or why walk with the fear of who will stab you at the back? These days, people now walk in fear of not being hurt by the next person. Even some people can’t walk out alone anything after 7pm, not because they don’t want to but the fear of insecurity.
This is the extent the quench of revival among us has caused. When the scripture says ” I will give the angels charge over you to be your guard day and night “.
No one is to be blamed for such, reason because the revival fire has gone dim in our society, and immoralities, corruption, selfish desires have taken the leader’s place.
At some point, I get irritated when some of our adults waste their precious time discussing the government of this nation on what they expected from them.
This is a big error. What can men without the holy spirit offer you when he(Lord) has not ordered them? Instead, focus on what you can do and be with the holy spirit (revival’s fire).
Let me draw from the scripture Dan.11 vs 32b, people that do know their God shall be strong and do exploit.
It was not written that those that know wealthy or intelligent people shall be strong and do exploit but those that know their God.
This is the only requirement the Lord requires of us for the fire of revival to be rekindled.
There is a Clarion call and that is REVIVAL! REVIVAL!! REVIVAL!!! We need revival and the time is now.
Conclusion
The sleep causing problem to humanity is so deep that it takes more than a sound but great noise of revival to wake us up.
Determine and get your heart renewed by the genuine word of God so that your transformation will be eternal( Rom.12 vs 2)
