The Cry for Revival Again

Day 1: The Cry for Revival Again 

Scripture

“Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?”
— Psalm 85:6 (NKJV)

Exposition

This new month,  we shall embark on a topic around revival. This is coming out of God’s call to me to lead and stir up His people to the urgent need to cry for revival again.  

Every great move of God begins with a cry. In Psalm 85, the sons of Korah remembered God’s past mercies toward Israel and pleaded for a fresh outpouring of His grace. They had seen times when God turned His wrath into mercy, when captivity was broken, and when His glory covered His people. But now, they were in a dry season, desperately in need of revival.

This verse reminds us that revival is not just a church event—it is a divine visitation that awakens God’s people to holiness, restores joy, and stirs passion for His Kingdom. Revival begins when we recognize our need for God’s touch and cry out for Him to “revive us again.”

Often, our hearts can grow cold due to distractions, sin, or spiritual complacency. We may go through the motions of worship, prayer, and service without the fire of God burning within us. But revival is God’s answer to a hungry heart. It is a divine interruption that restores what has been lost and renews our joy in Him.

Notice the psalmist’s plea: “Revive us again.” This implies that revival is not a one-time experience but something God must do repeatedly in the life of His people. Just as fire needs fresh wood to keep burning, our spirits need continual stirring to remain ablaze for God. 

This will be the centre of our devotional for this month and possibly beyond.

Love is the Way

Love is the Way  Jesus said to him, ""You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." Matt.22.37-40 Love is the summary of the Law and the entire scripture.  Where love abounds, laws and constitutions are useless.  Love is the fulfillment of the law.   - For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another! Gal.5.14-15 Love is a command. It is the Law and the commandment of God. It is not an option but a necessity.  No one can be part of God without love, because God Himself is Love.   - This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. These things I command you, that you love o...

Manifestation of the Kingdom Within

  Manifestation of the Kingdom Within Scripture: “ Nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.” — Luke 17:21 Devotional The kingdom of God is more than external miracles, spectacular signs, or impressive events—it is a spiritual reality that dwells within the believer . When Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is within you,” He was emphasizing that kingdom life is demonstrated through the transformation of our hearts, thoughts, and daily actions. The true evidence of the kingdom is righteousness, peace, and joy (Romans 14:17). It manifests when we choose obedience over sin, forgiveness over bitterness, and love over pride. It is displayed in our attitudes, relationships, and every decision we make. Unlike external circumstances, the kingdom within is constant, resilient, and supernatural—it cannot be shaken by trials or opposition. Living with the kingdom within means walking in God’s authority, living in alignment with ...

He is Risen

Date: Easter Sunday – April 20, 2025 <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8669748632238163"      crossorigin="anonymous"></script> Title: He Is Risen! Scripture: “ He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.” – Matthew 28:6 Devotional Thought: Easter morning dawned with the impossible made real: Jesus rose from the dead. The sealed tomb was broken open—not to let Jesus out, but to let the world in to witness victory. The silence of Saturday was shattered by resurrection power. Death lost its sting. The grave lost its hold. And hope came rushing back into the hearts of all who believed. The resurrection is not just an event—it’s a reality we live in . Because He lives, we have hope in suffering, strength in weakness, and assurance in uncertainty. It’s the foundation of our faith, the fuel for our mission, and the final word over sin and death. ...
