Rev Father Chibe Ofor. WE NEEDWE NEED A REVIVAL!


WE NEEDWE NEED A REVIVAL!     At a time when the church has become a gground for
entertainment, we need revival. At a time when a
music minister competes and compares himself with
secular musician, we need a revival. At a time when
the altar of God is used for comedy, we need a
revival. At a time when a successful minister of the
Gospel is measured by how rich he is and not how much
impact he is making, we need a revival. At a time,
when passion for souls have been replaced with fashion
parade in the church, we need a revival.
At a time when motivational speaking has replaced
biblical preaching, we need a revival. At a time when
you really cannot differentiate between a daughter of
Zion and an harlot, we need a revival. At a time when
pastors kill each other for posting and higher position,
we need a revival. At a time when modern preachers
now tell only about prosperity, we need a
revival. At a time when packaging and special effect
has replaced the beauty of God's glory, we need a
revival. At a time when sexual sin is referred to as
weakness and the grace of God is taken for granted,
we need a revival. At a time when prophets prophecy using demonic powers as livelihood, we
need a revival. At a time when the church does not
know the difference between witchcraft spirit and the
Holy Spirit, we need a revival. At a time when filling
the seats in our place of worship has become a priority
than raising disciples of Jesus, we need revival.
At a time when sinners feel comfortable in our
churches and saints feel no sense of urgency to preach
the good news to the lost, we need revival. At a time
when pastors are more concerned about how much
money members give than how much the members truly
love the LORD, we need revival. At a time when the
word of God is scarce and the fire on the altar is
going out, and the priests have become blind, the
watchmen sleeping, and holiness is no longer our
standard, we need a revival.
We need a revival not a programme. We need a
reawakening of our souls and a new awareness of the
power of God. We do not need another jamboree but
true repentance coupled with a changed life. We do
not need another noise, we need a shaking and a
mighty rushing wind. We do not need another
movement, we need a reformation.
We need the Lord to come again and restore us unto
himself. We need the Lord to open our eyes again that
we may see Him. We want to see His Holiness again that
we may see our depravity. We need a genuine
outpouring of the Holy Spirit, we are tired of speaking
in tongues and not living Christ-like. There is no other
desire that we have than to hear again the same voice
that spoke in the valley of dry bones to bring us back
to life. Our nations are in darkness, yet we are the
light. We cannot pretend anymore, we need to activate the power of holy ghost and he will reawaken us. He will revive us again
because we do not see our signs and wonders has done by the apostles of JESUS , there are only few JESUS
prophets in churches, some are not even recognized.  let us pray that God should have mercy upon
us! And revive us again! A REVIVAL!     At a time when the church has become a gground for
