THE WAY TO REVIVAL

On the day Pentecost was being fulfilled, all the disciples were gathered in one place.

 Suddenly they heard the sound of a violent blast of wind rushing into the house from out of the heavenly realm. 

The roar of the wind was so overpowering it was all anyone could bear! Then all at once a pillar of fire appeared before their eyes. 

It separated into tongues of fire that engulfed each one of them.

 They were all filled and equipped with the Holy Spirit and were inspired to speak in tongues—empowered by the Spirit to speak in languages they had never learned! 

Now, at that time there were Jewish worshipers who had emigrated from many different lands to live in Jerusalem. 

When the people of the city heard the roaring sound, crowds came running to where it was coming from, stunned over what was happening, because each one could hear the disciples speaking in his or her own language. 

Bewildered, they said to one another, “Aren’t these all Galileans? So how is it that we hear them speaking in our own languages? 

We are northeastern Iranians, northwestern Iranians, Elamites, and those from Mesopotamia, Judea, east central Turkey, the coastal areas of the Black Sea, Asia, north central Turkey, southern Turkey, Egypt, Libyans who are neighbors of Cyrene, visitors from all over the Roman Empire, both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs. 

Yet we hear them speaking of God’s mighty wonders in our own dialects!”

 They all stood there, dumbfounded and astonished, saying to one another, “What is this phenomenon?”

 But others poked fun at them and said, “They’re just drunk on new wine.” 

Peter stood up with the eleven apostles and shouted to the crowd. 

“Listen carefully, my fellow Jews and residents of Jerusalem. You need to clearly understand what’s happening here. 

These people are not drunk like you think they are, for it is only nine o’clock in the morning.

 This is the fulfillment of what was prophesied through the prophet Joel, for God says: ‘This is what I will do in the last days 

—I will pour out my Spirit on everybody and cause your sons and daughters to prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will experience dreams from God. 

The Holy Spirit will come upon all my servants, men and women alike, and they will prophesy. I will reveal startling signs and wonders in the sky above and mighty miracles on the earth below. Blood and fire and pillars of clouds will appear.

Acts 2:1‭-‬19 TPT

They were ordinary men and women who had not visited the corridor of the elite School of Theology set up by Gameliel. Saul was a graduate of that School yet after graduation, he had to unlearn what he knew to learn the way of the Kingdom.

After their Man of God, Jesus Christ was taken away from them, they returned in fear and dejection to the familiar ' Fishing' (John 21) The Man of God Jesus Christ, The LORD ( He shall be King forever and reign in the Universe) appeared to them many times and taught them many things yet they remained in hiding : (120 believers) bundled into a room called "The Upper Room"

Then a Person and a Force was released from Heaven. It is the same Person and Force that was released when Jesus Christ started His ministry on the Earth ( Matthew 1& 3)

The Holy Spirit descended on the Earth as Clive's of Fire on each disciple; the followers of Jesus Christ. The Time management of the Holy Spirit is the Best ever; He described on the day that the harvest of Human soul all over the World was ripe 

It was a prophetic moment for people from all over the nation's of the Earth, with their different tongues and languages were in Jerusalem, the Old place with the old style of worshipping Yahweh. 

These people were seeking for God in a place where God had departed from when the Curtains of the Temple was torn into two and access given to ALL to enter the Holy of Holiest.

It was at this very moment that The Holy Spirit descended on the Men who will carry the fires of Christ to all the Nations of The Earth.

Jesus Christ told the Disciples in Acts 1 to go to the ends of The Earth with the Gospel of Good News.

The Holy Spirit brought the Nations of The Earth to the Disciples in Jerusalem. Jesus Christ and His Father speaks , the Holy Spirit is the Executor of the Will of the Kingdom 

The Early Church had the World brought to them but l guess that this harvest was not maximised. God had to search for a Saul converted to Apostle Paul to take the Gospel to the Gentiles 

Though Peter was anointed as The Rock, Apostle Peter but his bias about the Gentiles kept the Gospel of Goods News from infiltrating the Camp of the Gentiles 

Apostle Paul the Learner Fellow was raised to correct and bring back the harvest that the Church missed in Pentecost. Because if all the people who were saved from different Nations, Tongues and Languages were adequately discipled, they would have taken the Word of God to their territories and spread the fear of the Gospel 

Apostle Paul would have just build on what they started 

Until the Spirit be poured from High on our dry hearts, Revival seems possible but far from Us.

Take your stand, idle women! Listen to me! Indulgent, idle women, listen closely to what I have to say. In just a little over a year from now, you’ll be shaken out of your lazy lives. The grape harvest will fail, and there’ll be no fruit on the trees. Oh tremble, you idle women. Get serious, you pampered dolls! Strip down and discard your silk fineries. Put on funeral clothes. Shed honest tears for the lost harvest, the failed vintage. Weep for my people’s gardens and farms that grow nothing but thistles and thornbushes. Cry tears, real tears, for the happy homes no longer happy, the merry city no longer merry. The royal palace is deserted, the bustling city quiet as a morgue, The emptied parks and playgrounds taken over by wild animals, delighted with their new home. Yes, weep and grieve until the Spirit is poured down on us from above And the badlands desert grows crops and the fertile fields become forests. Justice will move into the badlands desert. Right will build a home in the fertile field. And where there’s Right, there’ll be Peace and the progeny of Right: quiet lives and endless trust. My people will live in a peaceful neighborhood— in safe houses, in quiet gardens. The forest of your pride will be clear-cut, the city showing off your power leveled. But you will enjoy a fortunate life, planting well-watered fields and gardens, with your farm animals grazing freely.
