IGNITE - FEBRUARY SERIES: EPISODE 19

TOPIC:  THE REVIVAL AND THE CHURCH - PART 2

TEXT: Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.   Acts 11:22 KJV

Happy New week, This week, God will take away bitterness from your camp, your Joy will not turn to mourning, He will raise help for you and grace will accompany you, Amen.

I did a deeper study about the early church according to the Acts of the Apostles and I came to the realisation that the church was strong on revival and soul winning.

Peter the revivalist preached in the first crusade after Pentecost and 3,000 souls were won. In another crusade, through the power of the Holy Spirit, he was able to get 5,000 genuine souls added to the church.

Was these possible because he was a good preacher or because of his oratory influence, was it because of his sarcastic or his handsome face? No! Two things were actually involved: His message and the role of the church.

Though Peter was at the fore front but all the necessary support and encouragement needed was actually given by the church and associates behind the scene.

If this could happen then with greater impact, then I think the same model is still available for the church to use today to generate higher impact in this present age. If all churches could be committed in given the full support and encouragement to the cause of revival, revival of fire will soon spread.

Read: Acts 2

ACTION POINT: You are part of the church that need to give his/her little support and encouragement to revival. Do your part!

PRAYER: Oh Lord, birth in every church the spirit of revival, Amen.
