Reviving God's People!

To be revived means to regain life, strength, and consciousness. Being revived is a divine work where God reawakens our hearts to his presence and purpose. Through the Holy Spirit, he rekindles our first love for Jesus, igniting the fire of his presence within us. But we must also play a part. Being revived begins when we acknowledge our need for God and cry out for his help.

As 2nd Chronicles 7:14 NIV reminds us, “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and I will heal their land.”

This first quarter of 2025 calls for humility, seeking God, and turning away from our wicked ways. It is not enough to merely come to church on Sunday. We must regularly engage in personal and communal prayer, repentance, and seeking God's face. So, let us make this first quarter of the year our best quarter and let's regain life and strength so we can be a blessing to one another. God bless.
