Psalm 85:6 - Revive Us Again


Photo credit: www.slideplayer.com

Exposition

Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you? – This Psalm was written after the people returned from exile. They met a fallen Temple and there was all round discouragement as they were surrounded by enemies who were jealous of their relationship to their God.

In our world today the battle between the spirit (Church) and the flesh (world) has taken a new dimension. Rather than going out to preach Christ and His gift of salvation, the Church is imbibing the ways of the world in a bid to stay relevant.  If you cannot beat them, join them seems to be the order of the day. The fear of God does not mean anything and impunity is the order of the day. The world has wondered away from God, we are dead in our sin and there is a need for a quickening of our spirits. This can only happen by the grace of God.

We can join hands together and call on God to breathe again upon the nations. Men cannot revive themselves for only God can revive a dying man. As men turn away from sin and they turn to Jesus Christ, there will be rejoicing in heaven and on earth too. The lethargy in the nation will be lifted and there will be singing and dancing in Jesus name.

Prayer
I pray for Ministers of God all over the world that they be renewed. I include Elders and Church members too. Let revival start with me O God. Have mercy on me my Father. Let my heart be aligned again with yours. Let there be an urgency within me to see your power move again. Come down and let your name be glorified in Jesus name. Let our nation turn to you again. Let joy fill our hearts in Jesus name. Amen.
