As the waters covers the sea ( Revival )- Part 2



 Igniting the fire of revival 


The desire to take the gospel to the dying world is one of the surest marks of a revived Christian or congregation. 
Revival is the work of God in which many churches or Christians has been lifted out of spiritual indifference and worldliness into conviction of sin, which follow with earnest desires for more of Christ, his word, boldness in witness, purity of life, lots of conversions, joyful worship, renewed commitment to missions.  
When people experience revival there is a 
  • Conviction for their sins,  
  • True repentance and change in their way of life.  
  • New converts and Christians are committed to spending more time in pursuit for an In-depth relationship with God  
  • Great move of the Holy Ghost, power for signs and wonders
  • Healing and deliverance  
These miracles and signs happen because someone, a group, or denomination has made a commitment, decided to pay a price for God to move unprecedently. Commitment such  
  • Prayer- tarrying in God's presence for endowment of power from on high. Fervent and importunate prayer is the forerunner of evangelistic outreach (revival) without prayer, revival cannot happen. Luke 24;49  And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. 
  • Bible-  Focusing on the word of God for powerful presence of God 
  • Applying Faith- Backing the word of God and prayers with faith that sinners will be snatched from the danger of hell and purpose of revival be accomplished. Matthew 21:2  And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Romans 10:17 - So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God 
  • Commitment- revival will only happen if believers are willing to consecrate their time, resources, talent to further the evangelistic outreach
We have heard of past revival that has happened even though we were not there
The Welsh revival,


the Azusa Street;



We have an ongoing revival called Global Crusade with Kumuyi (GCK ). 




As women of God, we can be part of this ongoing revival. I pray that we will be ever ready with all the resources and talents we have been blessed with by God to bring sinners to the saving knowledge of God in Jesus name, amen.
