Hillsong: 40 Days of RevivalSample
The Decision to make it PERSONAL
A HEART OF SELFLESSNESS
Being selfless - placing other's needs above our own - is not a natural human characteristic. Our natural instinct is to look after ourselves and loved ones first and consider others as a secondary priority.
In contrast, Jesus' example was one of servanthood. Continually, He served those who were around Him putting aside Himself to prioritise others.
Take some time today to wander through the gospels (the books Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) and look for your own examples of Jesus' selflessness, allowing them to challenge you personally. Mark them in some way so that you can be challenged by them at a later time.
Consider how selflessness and generosity go hand in hand. How can you put your own wants and needs aside to be generous with your love, time, words, skills and gifts?
Make a list and highlight three that you can do today to serve someone else.

About this Plan
This 40 day devotional is an entry-point for learning about our God and growing in our relationship with Him through the study of revival. We explore the attributes common to history's greatest revivals - being present, prayer, purity, power, personal sacrifice and praise - with hearts open to what they might teach us about God and our relationship with Him. Knowing God and His ways is the goal and the prize.
