1. Global harvest – world evangelization
2. Maturity/perfection of the saints. (Ephesians 4:18)
3. Territorial transformation (Matthew 5:13-16)
What is Revival?
Revival is a reawakening to true spirituality, righteousness, and a state of submission to the governing authority of The Lord, Jesus Christ.
Three Levels of Genuine Revival:
1. Personal revival: This is the reawakening and restoration of spiritual fire and God-consciousness in the life of an individual.
2. Revival within the body of Christ (The Church). Ephesians 5:14, Ezekiel 37:10
3. Territorial Revival / Societal Transformation. Jonah 3:1-10
“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of The LORD: and he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.” Malachi 4:5-6 (KJV)
Every time God desires to manifest in a territory, He does so through His prophet, to call people to order, genuine brokenness, and repentance.
Vital Signs of Spiritual Retrogression
1. Significant deviation in your love for God and passion for the things of God.
2. Self-centred living as against Christ-centered living.
3. Consistent compromise of your values and godly standards
Believers are mandated to be free from sin and self.
While freedom from sin occurs at the point of salvation, overcoming self requires a daily act of surrender.
The devil attacks a believer by targeting their values.
An attack on a believer’s values and godly standards is tantamount to an attack on their life.
4. A decline in spiritual conviction; a budding disbelief in God and nonchalance towards the things of God.
5. A decline in your passion for the house of God.
“I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of The LORD.” Psalm 122:1 (KJV)
The moment your passion for the house of God begins to decline, it is a sign that your spiritual life is under perpetual attack. Community living is the key to sustaining Kingdom values.
The church of The Lord Jesus Christ transcends a mere physical location housed within a building; rather, it is a spiritual body authorized to communicate the counsel of God with precision and exactitude.
God’s house is integral to a believer’s spiritual growth and progress.
There are many destinies connected to you and it matters that you make it right with Jesus. Surrender your life to Him in preparation for His return.
Revival is more than a concept; it is a personal encounter with Jesus.
You cannot have eternal life outside of Jesus. It takes genuine brokenness before God, to access eternal life.
