PERSONAL REVIVAL IV
Rev. 2:1-7 (NKJV)

If you have an area in your life that is not vibrant in the Lord, areas you are struggling with, you are in need or revival. Revelation 2:4 But I have this [one charge to make] against you: that you have left (abandoned) the love that you had at first [you have deserted Me, your first love]. Revelation 2:5 Remember then from what heights you have fallen. Repent (change the inner man to meet God's will) and do the works you did previously [when first you knew the Lord], or else I will visit you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you change your mind and repent. Those To Be Revived If you are falling away from your first love; If most of your attention has been taken over by social media that you no longer have time to pray and study your bible, or even get involved with church activities; No more prayers or devotions. Decline of love for brethren. Your love has waxed cold; you are lukewarm, neither cold nor hot. No longer attend weekly activities, even Sundays, you prefer to go online. Left the subgroups you were serving because of offenses. Worldlyminded. More concerned about what to wear. Prefers to buy material things than tithing; No panting for God, no hunger and thirst after righteousness; No longer believe in tithing and offering; Change of attitude towards giving that you no longer give to church projects, etc.

Prayer: Pray for your personal revival on those areas you need to revive.

*DAILY BIBLE READING IN A YEAR*
1 Kings 20:26-22:36

*PERSONAL REVIVAL 2*

By *Dr Clara Akpami*

Romans 10:9-10 KJV
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation

What a sinner needs is resurrection from the dead and not revival. The dead can only be saved but the dying is resuscitated or revived to come back to life. When someone is confirmed dead, no resuscitation takes place anymore, the person is wheeled into the mortuary for preservation until he is buried.

Spiritual death is eternal separation from God. Jesus has already paid the penalty of sin to save man from sin. If you refuse the offer of salvation through Jesus Christ, you are separated from the life-giver. “No Jesus, no life.” A sinner (one who does not have a relationship with God) does not experience revival because he is dead and cut off from God. His sin separates him from God. He needs to be delivered from the power of sin.

Isaiah 59:1 says BEHOLD, THE Lord's hand is not shortened at all, that it cannot save, nor His ear dull with deafness, that it cannot hear. But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear.

Micah 3:4 declares “Then will they cry to the Lord, but He will not answer them; He will even hide His face from them at that time, because they have made their deeds evil.” Psalm 66:18 says “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me…” You can repent of your sins today and receive God's forgiveness and live in abundance.

Prayer
O God I ask You to please forgive me all my sinful life. I confess and forsake them all.

PERSONAL REVIVAL I
Acts 2:36-47 (NKJV)

To revive means to quicken, to wake up, to refresh, to live. It is restoring a dying situation by giving it life, it is waking you back from your spiritual unconsciousness and slumber. Psa 85:6, “Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?”. End result of revival is that you become joyful along with loved ones. That is what happens when an unconscious patient gets revived back to life. You get so excited when you experience total restoration of an area of your life that was dying or inactive. 1Cor. 15:34, Goodnews version “Come back to your right senses and stop your sinful ways. I declare to your shame that some of you do not know God”. When you come back to your right senses by gaining consciousness, you will stop doing certain things that are sinful and offends God. An unconscious patient does not have control over his bladder and re**um, he passes waste products involuntarily, he is been cleaned up without his knowledge. Gaining back his consciousness stops his helplessness. It is expected that your life of compromise, negative habits, slumbering, and passivity should stop as soon as you gain consciousness or are revived. Certain negative habits should stop in your life because you are now in your right senses as one who has been revived or restored by the power of God's word through the Holy Spirit.

Prayers : Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. (NLT)Psa.139:23,24
