Revival is a deliberate cultivation, not a random occurrence. It is a birthing process that can be as challenging as it is to sustain. However, its transformation is profound, reshaping the spiritual atmosphere and character of all it embraces.
"These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers."
- Acts 1:18 (NKJV)
This verse provides a Biblical blueprint for nurturing revival, breaking it down into five essential principles:
Continuation and Abiding: Cultivate revival by dedicating time to abide in the Lord's presence, displaying patience and reverence. It's a journey of persistence and devotion.
Unity: Revival thrives in unity among believers. Strive for one-mindedness, aligning your hearts to transcend earthly concerns, making way for heavenly blessings.
Prayer (Worship): In your life, prayer and worship should intertwine seamlessly. Recognize that prayer is a form of worship. Set aside daily concerns and petitions to wholeheartedly exalt God in truth and sincerity.
Supplication: Approach God in unity and prayer, making your requests known. Request His divine presence and exaltation among His people. Seek His holy presence to dwell among you.
Family: Forge deep connections within the body of believers, fostering a close-knit community mindset. As followers of Christ, you are part of a harmonious family, collectively pushing for the continual exaltation of the Lord.
These principles provide a solid foundation for birthing and nurturing revival in your life and among your fellow believers.
