PRAYING MARANATHA: COME, O LORD. 1Cor16:22, Rev22:7, 12.









Hymn
REVIVE US AGAIN

1. We praise Thee, O God!
For the Son of Thy love,
For Jesus Who died, And is now gone above.

Refrain: Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Hallelujah! Amen.
Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Revive us again.

2. We praise Thee, O God!
For Thy Spirit of light,
Who hath shown us our Savior, And scattered our
night.

Refrain: Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Hallelujah! Amen.
Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Revive us again.

3. All glory and praise
To the Lamb that was slain,
Who hath borne all our sins,
And hath cleansed every stain.

Refrain: Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Hallelujah! Amen. 
Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Revive us again.

4. All glory and praise
To the God of all grace,
Who hast brought us, and sought us,
And guided our ways.

Refrain: Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Hallelujah! Amen. 
Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Revive us again.

God has promised our fathers of old that He will visit us in great awakening again more than He did in previous awakenings.

Diaries of revivals in the past.

Revival in early America
American 1558 Awakening
The Monrovian revival (The first great awakening in Europe 1727 onwards)
Revival in the late 1700’s
Revival 1800’s
The Britain awakening in 1852
The Ulster Revival (1859)
The Welsh Revival (1904—1905)
1905 Latin American Revival
The Azuza street Revival (1906-1915)
Ireland Revival in Ulster(1921 WP Nicholson)
The Canadian (Saskastoon) Revival 1971
The Belgian Revival etc

Revival is not what a man can produce, it is that which comes by God’s Spirit only, for it is not by power, nor by might. God involves human vessels in His move in Revival. Revival is not continuous church meetings, crusades, open air preaching even though it will include all of these.
Revival is the divine intervention of God in turning the hearts of men back to Himself. It involves deep conviction in the hearts of men. It involves mass conversion of souls to Christianity as they collide with the man of Calvary. Revival resolves social, economy, political and diverse issues of a land visited by such visitations. Revival was usually preceded by prayer.

The nature of the coming move of God.

  • It is going to be by God’s Spirit.
  • It is not going to be a one man show.
  • It is going to be the move of God through His Church.
  • It is going to be an avenue of the Cross been heralded again.
  • The Coming Revival will begin from the Church of God.
  • It will outrun the damage that the enemy has done in the nations.
  • It will console the hearts of many believers

Often times when you look at the church, you will notice that the church is full of funfare, doctrinal issues, business promotion, beautification etc. The Crucified life through the Cross of Christ is no longer emphasized; prosperity, and ceremonial matters are highly exalted above Christ, the Church needs Revival, we need His VISITATION again!

When He comes, denominationalism is put aside, when he comes, traders are sent out, when He comes the dead church receives life again, when He gives the lives of an individual is fully concentrated on.

When He comes, Righteousness will be restored back to the Church both at Pupit and Pew level. Come, Lord Jesus!

And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand. 2 And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day; that they might accuse him. 3 And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth. 4And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace. 5And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other. 6And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him. Mark3:1-6

- Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Is35:3
- Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; Heb12:12
- Acts 3:1-6

Prayer points

Rev 3:1-2: And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. “‘I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God.

  • We cry for mercy over your church in Britain, Europe and the nations at large.
  • We repent of every complacency.
  • We seek mercy for the way we have divert the course of the gospel to suit our appetite.
  • We plead for your mercy for the way we have slumbered and become weaken.
  • Awake us from our slumber.
  • Let there be an awakening on your pulpits, shake the shakeables on your pulpits.
  • Deliver us from hypocrisy.
  • Restore your church to the place of been the pillar and foundation of truth 1Tim 3:15
