“Wilt thou not revive us again: That thy people may rejoice in thee?” (Psalm 85:6) The answer to the rhetorical question posed to God by the Psalmist is found in His loving character and in His sovereignty. In Revival and Soul-Saving Campaign 2014, we experienced the manifestation of the move of God in an awesome way. How mighty was the Man of God in the preaching of the Gospel. The Gospel is a holy-making Gospel and the Lord Jesus is a holy Saviour. We were challenged to live out 1st Peter 1:15, 16: “But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy”. To be holy is to be set apart – set apart from sin and impurity, and set apart to God.
The message through-out the week was God is absolute holiness, and the personification of complete moral perfection, whose eyes are too pure to look on evil with favor. That message should move His people (that’s us folks) to strive for moral purity.
The Evangelist exhorted us to live with wholesome reverence and respect for God, which is the basis for all godly living. Hear the wise man: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: But fools despise wisdom and instruction”. The Evangelist imparted to us the knowledge of God’s plan and purpose in and through the redemptive work of His beloved son. Please hear this dear people, a truth from the revival. We do not live a holy life to be justified, but we are justified in order that we might live a holy life.
The blotting out of our dark past is the beginning of a holy life. We praise God for a spirit-filled Revival and the blessings of it’s aftermath. We thank God for the Evangelist, Elder Earl Whitaker, the choirs, for awesome song service, the ushers and sound room personnel for their great work and the food preparers for excellent food each night of the revival.
To God be the glory. Let the revival continue.
