REVIVAL 2

Text : Hosea 6:2  

*After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.* 

 *True revival is hinged on three major factors: Humility, Prayer, Repentance .* 

2 Chronicles 7:14 clearly states that "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land"

 *Revival comes when all that we  seek and look for is God, and God alone.* Consistent and continuous seeking of God under meaningful conviction and confession of sins(repentance), always rend the heaven open over. Isaiah 64:1. 

Today, the church seeks more of things from God than God Himself. If only you can collate and compile all prayer points offered in our various churches in the year 2021, you will be surprised at the content of prayers we offered to God. The list will be filled with: God give me promotion;God give me protection; God kill my enemies; God revive my dead glory; God send your angels to bring the money; God give me husband; God give me wife; God open door for my travelling abroad; God give me this, God give me that. The list is endless.

These and more are not bad in themselves, but they are things that come from God's hands(a very low ranking angel will deliver these). But if you want God to come into your situation, then you must learn to seek Him. You must learn to change your prayer point. You must become an ardent lover of His presence (John 14:21). 

 *When you are a lover of God's hands (His things), rather than His face(Himself, his kingdom and his righteousness ), you may not experience revival.* This is the reason for the coldness in our lives and churches today. Check out what we are seeking. We are seeking the "additionals" (Mathew  6:24-33).

Additionals which are supposed  to be the pursuit of the gentiles are what many churches and men of God have built their ministries about. 
Such people are mistaken. Apostle Paul warned Timothy, just as He would warn you again today:
*And protracted wrangling and wearing discussion and perpetual friction among men who are corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth, who imagine that godliness or righteousness is a source of profit [a moneymaking business, a means of livelihood]. From such withdraw. (1 Timothy 6:5)* 

Bible Reading : 2Chronicle 7:11-14

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Ask the Lord to give you a new heart that will desire and seek His face only.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
