26 points that confirm we need the revival

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes

Dear children of God, welcome again to the column “Daily word for spiritual strength”!

Nowadays we often hear people talking about revival – in their own life, in the families, in the church, in the whole country. Do you need a revival? If so, how do you know about it? My today´s message contains 26 points that confirm we need the revival and need the Holy Spirit to visit us again. They will help each of us to look at ourselves and diagnose the problems. We need a revival and the Holy Spirit to visit us if we can notice the following things taking place in our life:

    1. We do not love God as much as we used to in the past.

    2. We are more concerned about the things of this world than of those related to eternity.

    3. We prefer watching TV or reading secular books and magazines instead of reading the Bible or praying.

    4. We are hardly willing to pray or don´t want to do it at all.

    5. We rather make money than give it away.

    6. We have no joy nor passion in our christian life.

    7. We know the truth but we never apply it in our life.

    8. We do minimum efforts or nothing to gain people for Christ.

    9. We find the time for sport, entertainment, recreation, but never have time for Bible studies or prayer.

    10. We are not excited of the word of God any more.

    11. We are more interested in our work or business, than in God´s Kingdom and people´s salvation.

    12. When a man and his wife have difficulties to pray together or they don´t pray together at all.

    13. We are not persistent in our prayers.

    14. We watch such TV broadcasts that we would never watch in the church.

    15. We rarely think about eternity.

    16. When our heart is cold but eyes are empty.

    17. When our songs and worship have no life inside.

    18. When we can´t see the continuous manifestation of the supernatural power of God in our lives.

    19. We find it boring to worship God and attend the church.

    20. We do not practice our faith, so we find it difficult to believe that God can do impossible.

    21. We are more worried about what people think about us than God.

    22. We have very weak or no influence on the world around.

    23. We are not crying nor mourning for our sins any more.

    24. We are no more troubled by thoughts that our neighbours, colleagues and relatives are going to hell.

    25. The fire in our heart, our family and our church is extinct.

    26. We can´t see the necessity for revival in our own life.

I pray so that this word kindles the love of Christ in your heart and prompts you to return to the first love you once had in your life.

Be blessed in the Lord! Rufus Adjiboye, pastor

    If you can remember, yesterday we talked about the fact that what defiles a person is not what is done to him, but his personal reaction to that. In the following Scripture we saw that neither the man nor the woman were willing to take personal responsibility for their actions.„The man said, “The woman you put here with me–she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.» Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” (GEN 3:12-13)

    “The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles”(Psalm 34:17). God hears you when you cry out to Him and not when you sink in our despair and misery, when you grumble and ‘have pity parties’. There is a cry of faith, which God always hears, because He finds a call for help and intervention in it. In this prayer cry God sees faith in Righteous, Just, Loving and Almighty God.

  • How do we make sure that the Word of God abides in us?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Why are there so much fear, panic, disappointment, weariness and tiredness in the lives of many believers? It is because the Word of God does not abide in them. God wants us to be filled with the Word. When we read the word of God with the understanding that we need the word daily as our source of light and direction, then we are motivated to do read it even more. Since I want to be spiritually strong and able to overcome the wicked one, I want to have the understanding of God’s purpose for my life, I want His direction as to how to carry out my assignment and I want to walk in purity in my life – and for this very reason I read God’s Word and study it on a regular basis.

  • Do You Hear What God Speaks? III

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 2 minutes
    There is another voice that we hear – it is the voice of other people and the voice of human standpoint. For example, the voice of experts goes in this category – a doctor who proclaims what the medical equipment indicates. A doctor may tell the patient that he will die in three days, because the medical equipment, the analyses and his own medical experience show that. Praise the Lord for our doctors, but we must know that the last word always belongs to God. God often says the totally opposite to what experts say. In such cases, it is necessary that we, while being respectful towards different specialists, put aside the expert conclusions and trust God, not people. The more you trust the expert conclusions and not the Word of God, the less God can give you life.

  • Without the Holy Spirit we are not able to manifest God in our lives

    1) Jesus gave some commandments to the Apostles BY THE HOLY SPIRIT (verse 2).Jesus Himself relied on the Holy Spirit in everything He did during His days in flesh. When He took on flesh, He was limited by it and He needed the Holy Spirit. As people we live in flesh and we also are limited by it. The only way for us to overcome these limitations is to rely on the Holy Spirit. We must be aware of the necessity and our dependency on the Holy Spirit. We must seek Him daily.

  • God’s purpose for the earth and the role of people in it

    It says in the Bible that God rules and reigns over everything — in heaven and in earth. When we read Genesis, we see that God created men and also we read about God’s intentions for men. God created us to rule and reign on earth as God’s ambassadors. So God’s original plan was for people to be a ruler and care-taker for God. We can read about that in Genesis (1:26-28).
