THE NECESSITY OF REVIVAL

SCRIPTURE: And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. – Genesis 32:30

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Nothing arrests darkness like the deployment of light. 

Revival is a season of spiritual awakening, intensive spiritual activity and spiritual fire. It is the climate of heaven on earth. Revival also means back to Bethel. In Genesis 35:1, God told Jacob to arise and go up to Bethel and build an altar unto the LORD. The experience of revival is like someone who lost his passion for God but encountered Him afresh thereby igniting his first love for God.

Revival is necessary for the arrest of satanic lawlessness. As we know, Satan is absolutely lawless and he must be checked. The truth is, nothing arrests darkness like the deployment of light. So, it is revival that will answer the generational epidemic of satanic activities, occultism and terrorism. 

Also, revival gives a person a life time transformation. Jacob had an intense spiritual encounter with God and his life changed forever (Genesis 32:24). He was Jacob but by the time God was through with him, his name was changed forever; that encounter gave birth to a nation (Israel).

Beloved, I see you experience a revival that will turn your life around, in Jesus’ Name.

Remember this: Nothing arrests darkness like the deployment of light. 

ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Desire revival in your life and for the church.

2. Live a life of prayer and intense worship.
