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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
