The Asbury revival and the burden for repentance by John Abiola

God is already answering our prayers, the revival in Asbury is blazing high. Let’s keep the fire spreading to all other Nations. 

The scripture says in Leviticus 6: 9 ” The fire shall be kept burning on the altar”.

 Join us on Good Friday, April 7, 2023: A global day of prayer, fasting and repentance for revival in the whole world.

 The greatest need in our world today is to turn our hearts to God in Repentance. Everything that we have confidently put our hope and trust to grant us peace, security, and joy has failed us woefully. 

 Military intelligence, science, and economic Power has also failed us. Every Nation of the world is currently shaking to its foundation. Even America, one of the most powerful nations in the world is not left out.

 Political upheavals, killings, racism, and tribal war are prevalent in our World because we have failed to put our trust in God. We have shifted our hearts to human achievements and various scientific inventions which have left us badly melancholic and hopeless. 

 Notwithstanding, chances are always given to those willing to turn in repentance.

 The only way out is to put our trust in God through Jesus Christ for He is our Saviour, the prince of peace, our security, and the joy of the whole world.

 God says in Isaiah 32:16-17, ” The fruit of righteousness will be peace, and the outcome of righteousness, calm, and security forever.”

 The Good News: God’s soul-soothing peace and wondrous grace are available to all who place their faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus.

 Notwithstanding, this can only happen when children of God, Intercessors, prayer warriors, men, and women who are burdened by global distress prevalent in the world will bend their knees in prevailing prayers, fasting, and weeping.

It will happen if we go to God in repentance on behalf of the inhabitants of the earth. That is the only way we can win the war against the host of darkness.

 We need to be on our knees, also praying for God to pour out His Spirit and revival power upon the face of the earth to provoke the whole world to repent of their sins, and to put their trust fully in God alone.

 *America on fire: repentance and prayer must spread to all other nations*. 

 Do you know that for weeks, Asbury’s revival has been spreading across America. The Revival broke out in a university there on the 8th of February 2023.

 This revival is on the verge of a worldwide explosion, we also need to pray ceaselessly, day and night that this revival fire that has erupted in America would engulf the whole world. 

 One significant and synonymous thing about this revival is that it’s driving force and main  theme is absolute genuine repentance. Repentance ignited the fire of revival upon them. The most palpable signs of revival is when people are being possessed by the Spirit of repentance.

God is attentive to our prayers

 God hears our prayers. He is the anchor of this revival. This is an eye-opener, as well as a source of encouragement to as many that are praying for an end-time revival and harvest.

 This is also an avenue to propel as many others who are yet to participate as well.  Please be faithful to pray this prayer as we believe God for more outpouring of His Spirit in our world.

 *The revival has spread to more than 200 institutions :* 

 “The 2023 Asbury revival was a Christian revival at Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky.[3]

 The revival was sparked by students spontaneously staying in Hughes Auditorium following a regularly scheduled chapel service on February 8, 2023.

 Following the gathering, Asbury President Kevin Brown sent out a brief two-sentence email: “There’s worship happening in Hughes. You’re welcome to join.”

The news of the phenomenon quickly spread through social media and in Christian online publications.

 The revival has been compared to similar revivals at Asbury, notably one that took place in 1970, which had far-reaching consequences in Methodism, culture of the United States, and the growth of the Jesus movement.

 Notably, news of the revival largely spread on social media, as the participants were mainly members of Generation Z.

 It was attended by approximately 15,000 people each day.

 By its end, the revival brought 50,000–70,000 visitors to Wilmore, representing more than 200 academic institutions and multiple countries.

Reminder:

From the history of the church and revival in the Bible period, and even in our contemporary age, Revival is born, promoted, and sustained only through fervent prayers and repentance of one, two or a group of people who detest the sins of the church and the world and who have an undying passion for lost souls.

 Therefore, Join us in global fasting, repentance and prayer for an explosive worldwide revival on Good Friday, April 7, 2023. 

 Location: wherever you are either one, two or more groups.

Time:6:00AM -6 PM.It is an annual event observed by Christians from all backgrounds and denominations around the world.

(Please share it to other Christians).

 Through the prophet Ezekiel, God says, “Repent and turn away from your idols, and turn away your faces from all your abominations.”(Ezekiel 14:6) It’s time for Christians and sinners in all over the world to repent and turn away completely from our idols. We need to turn our face away from sin and seek God with the whole of our heart, mind, and strength.

 The New Testament teaches that money and greed are often the loudest and most appealing idols that seek to steal our attention. This is no doubt among the many sins prevalent in our world.

 Many people have a high indulgence for money. Unknowingly to them, they are giving glory to the god of Mammon. Paul declared that being greedy is idolatry, that is to be greedy is to worship another god.(see Col. 3:5; Ephesians. 5:3,5).

 In the Gospel of Luke chapter 13:1 to 5. Jesus referred to the murder and the collapse of the tower which led to the destruction of 18 people in a discourse portraying the need for individual repentance for sin. 

 He pinpointed that those who were murdered or destroyed were not the worst sinners, stating to them that without repentance there is impending judgement.

 So, therefore, Christ’s emphasis was on being repentant to avert the consequences of  living in sin.

 *Our prayer focus*:

God should pour out His Spirit powerfully on all the nations of the Earth provoking people to be convicted, and convinced making their hearts turned completely from sin, wickedness, and evil ways, and be converted by faith in Jesus Christ alone.

 God says in Psalms.2.8 – “Only ask, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, the ends of the earth as your possession”. And again in Psalms 22.27 – 28, “The whole earth will acknowledge the LORD and return to him. People from every nation will bow down before him.

  For the LORD is king! He rules all the nations”.

 Note: you can add prayer to these as you are led by the Holy Spirit.
