John Knox prayed: “Lord,
Give me Scotland or I
die”…
St Patrick, a rugged believer that Brought even
dead animals and trees back to life prayed:
“God, Give me souls or give me nothing else”….
Brethren during the Hebrides revival prayed:”
Lord, If you will not use us, please, kill us”…
The brethren from England who brought the Fire
from Azusa Street revival
gathered everyday under the terrible cold… Their
only prayer topic was: “Lord, give us men that
will spread Your Fire in the streets of England”…
During the Indonesia Revival, those hungry hearts
were seen praying day and night:”
Lord, The
harvest is ripe… If it pleases You, please use
us”.
One prayer that was common during the days of
William Seymour was: “Lord, this is another day
that hell must lose men and women. Please, we
are here. Use us”…
Paul said:” Woe is me if I preach not the
gospel”
Rachel said to her husband, Jacob: “Give me
children or I die”
But unfortunately, our churches are filled today
with people who are not ashamed of spiritual barrenness… We are asking “God give me money. God give me spouse, God give
me visa”. Where do we see believers again that will be praying and fasting, and
when you listen to them, you will be hearing:” Lord, let Your Fire fall in my
community and let their be revival”? When Paul encountered Christ, he fell and
rose. What He asked was:” Lord, what will You have me do”… But today, when we
fall under anointing, we stand to start expecting marriage proposals and visas
and employment letters. Man of God, this generation of members in our churches
have not had a genuine encounter with the Man of Calvary.. No generation has
carried Bibles like us without opening it… No generation is materially driven
like ours and we expect the land to obey us. Jesus said, pray to the Father
that He brings His Kingdom on earth. GOD help us to get it on time. Amen. Isn’t
it strange how N500 seems like such a large amount when we give it as offering,
BUT such a small amount when u go shopping?
Isn’t it strange how 2hrs seem so long
when u’re at place of worship BUT how short they seem when u’re watching a good
movie?
Isn’t it strange dat u can’t find a word
to say when u’re to make supplication to God,
BUT u’ve no trouble thinking of
what to gist about with a friend?
Isn’t it strange how difficult &
boring it is to read 1chapter of d scriptures, BUT how easy it’s to read
100pages of a popular novel/magazine?
Isn’t it strange how everyone wants
front-row-tickets to concerts, film house or games,
BUT they do whatever is
possible to sit at d last row in d holy gathering?
Isn’t it strange how everyone wants a
place in Paradise, BUT they don’t want to believe, do, or say anything to get
there?
Isn’t it strange how we send jokes in
emails, BBM, Whatsapp, BC & they are forwarded right away, BUT when we are
going to share messages about God, we think about it twice b4 we share it wit
others?
IT’S STRANGE, ISN’T IT?
Now dat u’ve read dis message, forward it to
anybody dat u consider a friend. Let’s build up our spiritual life cos its very
necessary.
If u miss heaven u can never miss hell…Think
about it. Hell isn’t a pretty place.
Do d work of an evangelist.
