MFM DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE – REVIVAL THROUGH PRAYER
Revival is a spiritual experience that is firmly rooted in the two testaments of the Scripture. Another established fact is that every true revival is connected to fervent prayer. Moses, the man of God, prayed for the Israelites after they made and worshipped the golden calf. God forgave them after they repented, and there was restoration of relationship with the Lord God. King Josiah also carried out a comprehensive spiritual reformation that sparked revival among his people through prayer and the instrumentality of the word of God.
Revival means re-awakening of a dead spiritual life. It can also mean the quickening of the believer’s dead spiritual battery. It means restoration of lost relationship with God. Revival is the rebirth of the life of Jesus in the heart of a Christian who has gone astray. Revival can be personal. It can be communal, as it was among the Moravians in the year 1727, or national, as it happened among the people of Nineveh after God sent Prophet Jonah to them.
Revival becomes a necessity when you have gone back to sinful living, when you have lost your relationship with God, when the fullness and freshness of the Holy Spirit has dwindled in your life. Revival becomes desirable when your prayer altar has lost its fire, and the hunger and thirst you used to have for God has died. You need revival when you now enjoy men’s presence than God’s. You need to cry for revival when you have lost your first love for the Lord Jesus.
Apparently, from Bible days through all the eras of the church to our contemporary time, revival has always been birthed through the womb of prayer. The Moravian revival was birthed through prayer and was sustained more than two hundred years through the altar of prayer. The Azuza street revival was also linked to the fervent prayer of God’s people. Every Christian who has ever enjoyed the blessing of revival tapped into it through prayer. Are you tired of your powerless Christianity and lack of impact for God? Then you need to enter your closet, lock up yourself, and continue to cry for revival until God answers you in His mercy.
