The idea that revival can be achieved through a course or qualification is ill-conceived. It is something from God that touches a nation and is birthed in concern, deep desire, prayer and sacrifice. The matters of every day life are prioritised behind yearning for God to come and visit.
I would suggest that in our comfort, we have not sought deeply enough for a visitation from God. Of course you may disagree, but then ask yourself, have you done enough to invite God to your room, your house, your street or nation? When He does visit, everything around us will change.
Faith as Hebrews 11:1 says is ‘…the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.’ (NKJV) However we approach the subject of revival, we will have to move away from some things we do, to make time for the things of God. Pursue revival!
Quote
Revival comes when we desire God more than anything else.
Prayer
Lord, show me what are the blockages in my life to praying for revival? Amen.
Action Point
Create a discussion group amongst your friends or in Church to see what needs to be done to pursue revival.
