To Be a Blessing: Should we only wait for a move of God to bring a change in our lifestyle?

1. Develop an Atmosphere of Worship

It does not have to be limited to just inside the Church. Living in an atmosphere of worship is to breathe the air of heaven. [ClickToTweet]

When was the last time our churches ignored the clock for an extended hour of worship, where we were lost loving God? When was the last time you were drowned in worship and danced before God with a child-like heart? Intentionally, make time daily to worship God with the angels who cry out, “Holy, holy, holy, is The Lord God almighty!”

2. Develop a Deep Travail for Revival

Allow me to quote Charles G. Finney. He explains it wonderfully in the lectures of revival,

“A revival may be expected when Christians have a spirit of prayer for a revival. That is, when they pray as if their hearts were set upon it.

Sometimes Christians are not engaged in definite prayer for a revival, not even when they are warm in prayer. Their minds are upon something else; they are praying for something else – the salvation of the heathen and the like – and not for a revival among themselves.

A Christian who has this spirit of prayer feels anxious for souls. It is the subject of his thoughts all the time, and makes him look and act as if he had a load on his mind. He thinks of it by day, and dreams of it by night.

This is properly ‘praying without ceasing’. His prayers seem to flow from his heart, liquid as water: “O Lord, revive Thy work.” Sometimes this feeling is very deep; persons have been bowed down so that they could neither stand nor sit.”

Question to ask yourself: What have you been thinking by day and dreaming by night?

3. Develop Revival Fellowship

The disciples met everyday. They had fellowship everyday. They studied the word of God with an unquenchable thirst, and were taught the word by the apostles.

Practically, this could be extended prayer fellowships, daily bible studies, an extra hour of church service, extended days of conferences, and so on. It’s just the pure delight of remaining in the presence of God.

What would you do today, other than the routine, to linger a little longer in the presence of God? Do that, and do that now!

Let heaven come down to earth.
