“God is always on the alert, constantly on the lookout for
people who are totally committed to Him.”
2 Chronicles 16:9 (The Message Bible)
Over a century and a decade ago,
in 1905, there was a worldwide revival. It all began with a young college
student from Wales .
His name was Evan Roberts. He had eyes of faith for a great revival. He was
totally committed to the Lord and sought Him in prayer to know just what He wanted
Him to do. The Lord directed him to return to Loughor. He preached to 17
people. His sermon had 5 main points. 1) Confess any known sin that you have in
your life to God. 2). Put away any wrong you have done to others and make it
right with Him as well as them. 3) Put away any doubtful habits. 4) Obey the
Holy Spirit’s leading promptly. And 5) Confess your faith in Christ openly. God
rewarded Evan Robert’s faithfulness. By the end of one week, 60 had come to the
Lord, igniting a revival. The revival spread and in three months 100,000
converts were added to the churches in Wales . Here in the states in the
great Tennessee Mountains Asia
also experienced a great revival. God is still on the alert today. Today’s
verse says that “God is always on the
alert, constantly on the lookout for
people who are totally committed to Him.”
He wants you to be totally committed to Him. He wants to use you to make a
spiritual difference in the lives of those around you that will change the
world. Let Him.
Lord, may I be totally committed to You. Each of us are
called to be ministers of the gospel. Reveal to me what my small part is and
may it be used to ignite a revival. The souls of those that are in the world today
are in desperate need of You. We thank You for the revival that took place in 1905.
We need a revival to spread across this
world in our century too. Please, make this happen. In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen.
