REVIVE US O LORD

Posted on 30 Nov 2014, Pastor: Michael Adebisi Abiola (Secretary of Council of Elders Nigeria RCCG Camp Lagos)

Psalm 85:6-9 KJV Isaiah 57:15
Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? [7] Shew us thy mercy, O Lord , and grant us thy salvation. [8] I will hear what God the Lord will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly. [9] Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
For the child of God living uprightly, it doesn’t matter how things may be around you now, Your Father says “It shall be well with you”
Psalm 16:11 KJV Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore

God is faithful to His promises, He has the power to bring to pass whatever He says.
Revival can mean different things to different people:- .
1. To the sick, it means he will be healed;
2. To the poor, it means his wealth is on the way, for it is He who gives power to get wealth Deuteronomy 8:18; 3 John 2
3. To the captive, “all will be well” means freedom is here. His Name is the Lord of hosts Psalm 24:10. He will destroy all the forces behind your captivity.
4. To the barren it means you shall conceive, for He is the One who is able to bring children out of stones Matthew 3:9

Deut.7:13-14 KJV And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee. [14] Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.

5. To the one who is a failure, it means success is coming: for He is the great promoter Psalm 75:6-7.
6. For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
7 But God is the judge: that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

Who will God Revive?

The Sanctified :-

SANCTIFICATION (HOLINESS) 1Thes 4:3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: Romans 12: 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Sanctification is a work of grace of God by which our souls are completely cleansed. This is the second accomplishment of the grace which through our faith in the blood of Jesus Christ is accomplished after we have been justified and freed from our sins or regenerated – John 17:15-17; [15] “I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one [16] “They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. [17]  “Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. (NKJV)

The sanctified is holy – Holiness means total obedience.

  • He is not easily provoked, He prefers others to himself.
  • The fruit of the spirit manifests in him fully – Gal 5:22, love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness goodness, faith, meekness and temperance.

The Justified :-

JUSTIFICATION & NEW BIRTH – Romans 8: 1  There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.Rom 5:1;- 1  Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, (NKJV) 1 Corinthians 6:11; And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

The Dedicated :-

  • Dedication is very important for the children of God for the Lord is Holy – John 17:19; 1Pet 1:15-16.
  • If we want God to be our Father, we must separate and dedicate ourselves unto Him – 2Cor 6:14, 17-18;
  • God called us unto Holiness –1 Thess 4:7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
  • The dedicated is not complacent. He always strive for the best in his service to God to receive the best from Him.
  • He holds on to the statutes of God. Ezek 26:27.

HOW CAN WE BE REVIVED

  1. Holding onto the promises of God His promises are not substitute for our prayers.
  2. When you get hold of His promises and express it in prayer there would be performance.
  3. Prayer will make the promises effective.
  4. Prayer is not the preparation for battle, but the battle.
  5. You have access to his authority. You are expected to pray a prayer that will rend and blast the heavenlies to bring your miracles and breakthrough. Isaiah 64:1, Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,
  6. If nothing is ventured nothing will be gained. Learn to give your resources, time and energy to his course.
  7. If you never asked you will never receive.<br>

Anytime He wants to do anything, He sends His word to his true children, who live right and desire to please Him always, I believe strongly that God wants to do something special in your life today; divine intervention is around the corner. If your way has not been right with Him however, go to Him now in prayer and completely turn over your life to Him.

PRAYER :-

  • FATHER I need a change in all aspects of my life, of my attitude towards your work, in my finances, health etc
  • Father! You have all things, let me have all things
  • You overflow in health let me overflow in health
  • You overflow in power let me overflow in power
  • You overflow in wealth le me overflow in wealth,
  • You overflow in prosperity let me overflow in prosperity,
  • You overflow in everything let me overflow in everything,
  • You were never sick let me never be sick
  • You cannot be bound let me never be bound,
  • You were never poor, let me never be poor.
  • You never fail, let me never fail.
  • Lord!!! I know you will do it and I trust you will answer me today as I continue to pray.

In the mighty name of Jesus-

  • I say bye-bye to failure
  • I say bye-bye to poverty, to lack etc.
  • I say welcome to overflowing in prosperity, promotion, health, wisdom,
  • Father!! ! Send help to me. I need help from the West, East, North, South, from Heaven above I need help.

Finally ask for any other things.
