Here I Stand

REVELATION


Today in the 21st century, there is much talk about revival, but very little manifestation of it. Is there a deeper issue? Do we desire the fruit without the root? Has God hidden His face from us and we don’t perceive it? These are hard questions we need to consider. During the heat of the reformation, Martin Luther took a stand against the false teachings that were practiced and preached in his day and age. We need to, in our generation, take a stand for truth if we want to deal with the root issues.


REPENTANCE


If you are genuinely concerned about what you see, with the staleness that is there among Christians, a nation that has moved away from God, our pulpits that are powerless to stem the sweeping tide of sin; if you are thus concerned, let me also go a step further and humbly ask the reader to look within and see into one’s own heart and join me in asking, “Have I in my lifetime seen a genuine revival?” A revival where God moves into a community like times of old; where sin is arrested, shops are shut down and work stopped as people have an awareness of God and the fear of God gripping the community?

 

RESTORATION

We sadly have to admit that, we have seen rockets sent to Mars, social media revolution with twitters, chats and Facebook, but we are lacking the power of God in our beloved land, that was evident in the book of Acts or in Church history. Let us consider our ways and pray that God will use what is written to challenge us, convict us and change us for the glory of God; to once again seek God for a genuine revival that only He can bring.
