Venue: MFM HQ Youth Church
Texts: Is 55:1-2, Matt 5
The present generation is in dire need of revival and until you are thirsty for revival, it cannot come to you. Isaiah 55:1 – 2:
v.1:Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.”
v.2: Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.“
Revival means:
- coming back to life.
- restoration.
- seeking the life of God into your system.
When you need revival:
- If you don’t have time to pray personally throughout the day.
- Going a day without reading the Bible.
- Forgetting to pray on your food before eating.
- Love your phone and give more time to your gadgets than the word of God.
- Your conscience is dead. You commit sin and you don’t feel anything.
- Negative dreams are coming back.
- When your life is dry spiritually, it is an invitation to evil spirit.
- A dry ground is a fertilizer for evil spirit.
- Sleeping with someone in the dream.
- You used to enjoy prayer time but now prayer is like a burden.
- No signal from God on prophecies.
- No one comes to you for prayers.
Personally look into your life and ask yourself if you are making progress spiritually, materially, financially. The season of revival is when you breathe in the life of God and breathe out the Love of God. Sometimes, you have to step out of the boat to know that you can walk on water. Whenever you are spending time with God, the things that are meant for you will wait for you.
