The Price of Personal Revival

Sunday Worship: 24th of April, 2016

Preacher: Pastor Joshua Adeyekun

Text: Mathew 25:1–8

Many of us are not taking note of our state in God.

The passion for God is dying of from the life of many believers.

The master is saying to the church, there is need for revival.

The work of the flesh has overcome that of the Spirit.

Our interest has been derailed and diverted.

You might be busy ministering, blessing people but your life with Christ has been dead.

Everyone must wake-up to the reality of personal revival.

Mathew 25:1–8

While the bridegroom tarried, they all slept.

Give us your oil, because our lamps has gone out they say. It is a personal oil.

Romans 13: 11–14; Leviticus 6: 8–13

The Lord is so particular about the fire on the altar. Leviticus 6:10 describes the responsibility of a believer.

The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar, it shall never go out.

Price for Spiritual Revival:

1. You must constantly seek for God and his Kingdom: nothing else should replace God in your affairs. Jeremiah 29:13. God wants a deliberate pursue of him. Mathew 6: 23

2. Spiritual discipline: I Corinthians 9:27; Romans 8 :13

3. Self-Denial: learn how to say no to the will of the flesh, not making provision for the flesh to express itself. It is a tragedy to be in a state of Spiritual death. Do everything possible to rise.

4. Study of the word of God: the more of the word you stay on, the more the life of God you have in you. Anything outside the word of God should not be your inspiration.

5. Surrender to God: do not struggle with God. Let go to God and stop struggling. The live that is surrendered to God is complete in him. Do not ever struggle with God for anything.

6. Spiritual mindedness: Romans 8: 5–8; Colossians 3:1–3. Do not reduce yourself to what is reigning in the world but what is reigning in heavens. What happens in Jesus is reality; what happens in the world is mirage.

7. Spiritual Service: if you are not doing anything for God, you are at high risk. What you do not express will dry up. Romans 12: 11 (Serving the Lord is one of the greatest things you can do to fulfill your destiny).

8. Separation unto God: 2 Corinthians 6:17 -18; 7:1. Do not allow what the world dictates to be your standard.
