THE SURE PATHWAY TO REVIVAL

KEYS TO REVIVAL

1. PROPHECY

Prophecy is the utterances  inspired by God through His Spirit or angels to His messengers, Servants about a specific purpose, intention of God for the present or the future.

"The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. 

Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near." Rev. 1:1-3

Truly, we have the Spirit of Prophecy which the Bible revealed is the testimony of our LORD and King Jesus Christ; but we also have prohocies given by God to men to reveal His divine Intenton for a specific dispensation and period in Church and Human history 

A scenario whereby every pioneer Builder in a generation build as they seem fit only happens because of lack of  specific corporate Church   divine prophecy for that generation or dispensation in time.

We must understand that The God of of our LORD Jesus Christ is the Citadel of wisdom; the Bible stated that the treasures of wisdom and understanding is stored in our LORD.

God does not just have the strength and power to accomplish His mandate by per time but He is a veteran and perfect  expert in using  His wisdom to outwit the Enemy' s schemes so that His plan is fulfilled 

Let's examine Isaiah 14:24-27

The LORD Almighty has sworn, “Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will happen.

 I will crush the Assyrian in my land; on my mountains I will trample him down. 

His yoke will be taken from my people, and his burden removed from their shoulders. ” 

This is the plan determined for the whole world; this is the hand stretched out over all nations.

 For the LORD Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart him? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?

God always have a specific plan for a man's life, a Church denominaton, a community, a town, a City, a Nation, a Continent, an era, a dispensation and a generation 

And God is always searching for men and women who are not overly concerned about building their own empire but have a Kingdom mindset to download His plan through the Holy Spirit.

When such receive these divine thoughts and intention they must speak forth and deliver it to the appropriate people, at the appropriate time. 

A prophecy can be for an individual, a corporate body or a dispensation.

When the spoken prophecy is in place, the Holy Spirit and God's angels have a road map to carry out divine purpose.

In 1 Kings 13:1-3

" BY THE WORD of the LORD a man of God came from Judah to Bethel, as Jeroboam was standing by the altar to make an offering. 

BY THE WORD of the LORD he cried out against the altar: “Altar, altar! 

THIS IS  WHAT THE LORD SAYS: ‘A son named Josiah will be born to the house of David. On you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who make offerings here, and human bones will be burned on you.’” That same day the man of God gave a sign: “This is the sign the LORD has declared:

God had a plan and a purpose even when the nation of Israel was given over to adultery because of bad leadership. God was already strategising for the future.

And God sent a prophet to declare His plans to the hearing of ALL including the Enemy because THE ALMIGHTY  is 200% certain that what He has planned shall surely  come to past though there is the king of Babylon who fell from heaven and Assyrians who may want to thwart His purpose 

God spoke that a son called Josiah shall be born who will break down the altars that Jeroboam erected in God's Land. God was specific with the name of the child and the actions the child will take. But the time of the child birth was kept a secret.

Jesus Christ our LORD said, the time and hour, no man knows excerpt the Father 

The prophecy of the Man of God spoken in 1 Kings 13 was.fulfilled to the last letter in 2 Kings 23:15-18

Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years. He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD and followed the ways of his father David, not turning aside to the right or to the left. In the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek the God of his father David. In his twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of high places, Asherah poles and idols. . 2 Chronicles 34:1-5

"Even the altar at Bethel, the high place made by Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin—even that altar and high place he demolished. 

He burned the high place and ground it to powder, and burned the Asherah pole also.

 Then Josiah looked around, and when he saw the tombs that were there on the hillside, he had the bones removed from them and burned on the altar to defile it, in accordance with the word of the LORD proclaimed by the man of God who foretold these things. The king asked, “What is that tombstone I see?”

The people of the city said, “It marks the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and pronounced against the altar of Bethel the very things you have done to it.” “Leave it alone,” he said. “Don’t let anyone disturb his bones .” So they spared his bones and those of the prophet who had come from Samaria.

The Almighty God is a Promise Keeper. He said a child will be born and be called Josiah and will break down Jeroboam altars 

And it happened exactly .
