"Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the Lord, Till He comes and rains righteousness on you."Hosea 10:12
Revival is that sovereign work of God in which He visits His own people, restoring and releasing them into the fullness of His blessing.
Over the years I've often gotten emails asking "Do you think revival will ever come to Zimbabwe?, When do you think it will come?" While re-reading Charles Finney's lectures on revival recently, I was reminded that a key aspect of world revival is revival within ourselves. Revival must begin within each of us ... and it's not just a one time event but an ongoing process of desiring to be closer to Him. Once, my Son asked me "Why do you keep having revival meetings?" And I quickly retorted, "Why do you always take a bath?"
Brothers & Sisters, revival is an ongoing transformation of our hearts to be constantly moved by the Spirit of God. We need to be daily breaking up our fallow ground, those places in our hearts which we've allowed to grow hard. How? We have to first ask the Lord to reveal those hard places, pray that He would forgive us and ask Him to heal all our rough edges that we might be soft before Him and sensitive to His leading. Only then will we be changed and be in a place where we can contribute to revival around us.
REVIVAL IS AVAILABLE TO US TODAY!
