TOPIC: The Benefits of Revival
FIRE SCRIPTURE
Psalm. 85:1-6; Hosea 6:2
OUTLINE
Hunger leads to revival, at which time your voice goes up to God thirsting for more of His presence. A certain little boy, who was hungry for God, asked his father: “Daddy, what must I do to be on fire for God continually?” His father asked him if he really meant what he had said. And he replied in the affirmative. His father then took him to a small pond.
Immediately they got there, his father got hold of him pounced on him and pushed his head inside the water. The boy began to struggle for air. As he was doing this, he was gulping water. After he had gulped down a lot of water, his father released him and asked: “What did you desire most when I dipped your head inside the water?” The boy replied: “Fresh air.” Then the father said to him: “When you are hungry and thirsty after God like the way you thirsted for air now, fire will fall upon your life.”
Beloved, that is it! You must hunger and thirst after God. Our aim should be for God to use us so that we would be engrossed with a supernatural revival of apostolic signs and wonders. The apostles operated in the supernatural. They cast down strongholds, uprooted demonic trees, trampled upon satanic powers, worked earth-shaking miracles, turned cities upside down for Jesus, burnt demonic materials and God used them to lay the foundation for what we are now enjoying.
The reason why present day Christians have not attained that level of the supernatural they do not thirst after God. Peter, who was picked up by Jesus after his failed fishing expedition, was informed that God’s purpose for his life was for him to be a “fisher of men.” But, the same Peter ran back to the same fishing profession soon after the ascension of Jesus, when he no more thirsted and hunger after Jesus.
In the same vein, most of us have gone back to our original vomit, since we do not thirst and hunger any more after Jesus. This is why we have become easy preys to the devil. This is why you need to pray seriously to God to revive you.
