Do we have to wait for Revival?


"Revival is waiting for us to get hungry"

Just been doing some thinkin lately and this thought just came to my mind about revival..
i'm reminded of what Eunice Lim said before, something about "...do we have to wait till somthing bad happens before we start to seek God for revival..."

We've seen a lot of videos and heard lots of stories about revival happening in various places, among tribal groups and even in cities and countries. What's the similarity between all these places and these people? Desperation. The people were desperate for God and were longing for him to move and change things, why?

The place where they were from was suffering and deteriorating. The people needed somthing to happen because the situation was so bad to the extent that nothing can be done unless a miracle happened. The real question is whether we want to wait until something really bad happens to this nation before we start to seek God and ask Him to move and perform a miracle.
Do we have to wait until it happens before we are desperate for God? I think the answer is no and should be no.

In places where revival happened, the people were so desperate for God to do somthing in hte community that they weren't just praying they were wailing and crying their hearts out to God. We don't have to wait for anything to happen before we do that. We as the church need to have a heart for people, a heart for this nation and a heart for this generation so much so that we get down on our knees and cry out to God to make a change in this community and this nation. Pray for the government, the leaders and elders of the churches in Malaysia. When we do that God's hand will be upon this nation because He hears the cry of His people and He is faithfull to answer our cry. God sees our hearts, what is our desire. Who do we focus on? Is it Him and His kingdom or is it ourselves that we are focusing on. He is faithfull, 1 Thess 5:23-24 "..He who calls us is faithfull, who also will do it..."

So let us start praying and ask Him to move and send revival. Let's get hungry for God. Let's cry out to Him to change this nation.
