15 Days Year End Prayer and Fast

DAY 14 OF 15

Revival for Evangelism

Acts 1:8 (NIV) - "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

In the unfolding narrative of God's redemptive plan, the theme of revival takes centre stage as a divine catalyst for transformation. Revival is not a fleeting emotion or a passing experience; it is a profound outpouring of the Holy Spirit that rekindles the flame of devotion within us, propelling us into the world as passionate witnesses for Christ. Today, we delve into the connection between revival and evangelism, drawing insights from Acts 1:8.

The words of Jesus in Acts 1:8 serve as a roadmap for the believer's journey—a journey marked by the reception of power through the Holy Spirit. This power is not given for personal glory or spiritual self-indulgence but for a purpose greater than ourselves. The purpose, as Jesus declares, is to be witnesses—witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

Revival, at its core, is the awakening of the believer to the reality of this divine power residing within. It is an immersion in the Spirit's enabling, empowering us to step into the calling of being witnesses. In the context of evangelism, revival is the flame that turns passive believers into dynamic ambassadors, fuelled by the supernatural power to share the Gospel boldly and authentically.

The geographical progression outlined by Jesus in Acts 1:8 unveils a strategic plan for evangelism—a plan that starts at home (Jerusalem), extends to the neighbouring regions (Judea and Samaria), and ultimately reaches the farthest corners of the globe. Revival equips us for this journey, breaking down barriers of fear, apathy, and complacency that might hinder our witness.

Revival for evangelism, as seen in Acts 1:8, is a transformative process that begins within our hearts. The power of the Holy Spirit transforms us from passive spectators to active participants in God's mission. It emboldens us to share the Gospel not only with words but with the authenticity of a life transformed by Christ.

As we engage in revival, let us recognise the divine power within us, empowering us to be witnesses in our immediate surroundings and beyond. May the flame of revival ignite a passion for evangelism, compelling us to reach out to the lost with the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. In the power of the Holy Spirit, let us embark on this journey of revival and evangelism, impacting our communities and extending the Kingdom to the ends of the earth.

"Evangelism is not a professional job for a few trained men, but is instead the unrelenting responsibility of every person who belongs to the company of Jesus." - A.W. Tozer
