1. The world is awash with grim expectations; growing apprehension of cataclysmic nuclear warfare, alien invasion, a rogue asteroid and many more. All these point to an impending END but not according to the WILL of men. God has it all worked out, “DECLARING THE END FROM THE BEGINNING, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, MY COUNSEL SHALL STAND, and I will do all my pleasure” [Isaiah 46:10] Those whose HOPE is in JESUS CHRIST are free of palpable PANIC; our HOPE is daily renewed in earnest HOPE of our TRANSLATION to be with JESUS CHRIST, “And that, KNOWING THE TIME, that now it is HIGH TIME to AWAKE OUT OF SLEEP: for now is OUR SALVATION NEARER than when we believed” [Romans 13:11] Without controversy, we live in “HIGH TIMES”, the season of unprecedented global instabilities and “FINISHING WORK” of GRACE. Having said that, “KNOWING THE TIME” goes with responsibility to “AWAKE OUT OF SLEEP” because a “SHORT WORK” it shall be, “For he will FINISH THE WORK, and CUT IT SHORT IN RIGHTEOUSNESS: because A SHORT WORK will the Lord make upon the earth” [Romans 9:28]
2. The “SHORT WORK” is the GREAT REVIVAL that gathers the ultimate harves with the FINAL PUSH of the GOSPEL, “And this GOSPEL of the kingdom shall be PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD for a witness unto all nations; and THEN SHALL THE END COME” [Matthew 24:14] No doubt, the GOSPEL has been preached in virtually all nations at different times, this time it shall be done all at once. The GREAT REVIVAL is the conclusive fulfilment of the PROPHECY in Joel 2:28, of which the PENTECOST was the “EARLY RAIN”. The “EARLY RAIN” was limited to Jerusalem and Jews, the “LATTER RAIN” shall fall upon “ALL FLESH”, “And it shall come to pass IN THE LAST DAYS, saith God, I WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT UPON ALL FLESH: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams” [Acts 2:17] The “LAST DAYS” are here and the much-awaited “LATTER RAIN” is already coming down in drizzles in most unexpected places, “The PEOPLE THAT WALKED IN DARKNESS HAVE SEEN A GREAT LIGHT: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined” [Isaiah 9:2] In Nepal, China, Somalia, Bangladesh, Iran and others, there is growing witness of REVIVAL. This is both a REBUKE and a SIGN; a REBUKE of our STEWARDSHIP and a SIGN to the CHURCH.
3. The CHURCH is at crossroads, pressed on every side by vicarious damages in a world drowning in SIN, seek SIGNS; an adulterous generation seek SIGNS to assuage her distress and mourn, “WE SEE NOT OUR SIGNS: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long. O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?” [Psalms 74:9-10] Brethren, the SIGN we seek is right before us, the CROSS. The CROSS we wear as pendant and with which we adorn our Cathedrals is much more than an ornament or furniture; it is God’s SIGN to this generation. Our PRAYERS are misplaced and our LABOUR unacceptable until we return to the CROSS in REPENTANCE, “Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear” [Isaiah 59:1-2] God is neither moved nor deceived, our huge congregations, “loud” worship and insane riches are not “ACCEPTED WITH HIM” by reason of our INIQUITIES, “… GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS: But in every nation HE THAT FEARETH HIM, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, IS ACCEPTED WITH HIM” [Acts 10:34-35]
4. Beloved, this is not about one denomination or name-calling, the Lord is calling His CHURCH to REPENTANCE, “That he might present it to himself A GLORIOUS CHURCH, NOT HAVING SPOT OR WRINKLE, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish” [Ephesians 5:27] Listen carefully, Daniel “UNDERSTOOD BY BOOKS”, Daniel 9:2, that REPENTANCE PROVOKES REVIVAL and went on his knees in REPENTANCE for Israel, “WE HAVE SINNED, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments: Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, …” [Daniel 9:5-6] REPENTANCE PROVOKES REVIVAL, is a sure WORD from the Lord; the REVIVAL we desire so much will not come until we return to Him in REPENTANCE. The Lord is calling you and I, to seek His FACE in PRAYER of REPENTANCE and HE shall send the LATTER RAIN of His SPIRIT for the greatest REVIVAL ever, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land” [2 Chronicles 7:14]
