What Is Revival? | From Bishop Gobanga’s Desk

Revival is the reactivation of the powers of divine consciousness in the life of “someone” who lost the essence of God as a progressive reality.

Revival is the reawakening of the perpetual reality of divine consciousness that causes people who were spiritually dry to live their lives in tune with the move of the Spirit.

Living in the Spirit is a lifestyle, not an event limited to a localized arena of revival.

Revival is induction into a state of spiritual cognizance that makes you abide in the successive seasons of divine encounters and actualities in order to live a fruitful life in the kingdom.

The hallmark of revival is the ability to live a life totally yielded to God and allowing the activation of the consciousness of divine nature to be operational in every aspect of your life.

Revival is a journey of life that takes you through a spiritual process of profound transformation in which you literally experience a new life of constant change intrinsically and eventually become an eternal manifestation.

One of the stopovers of this journey of revival is the place of being positioned downward. Revival takes you away from your current locale of convenience and comfort in order to be separated into your ordained purpose. Revival takes people out of familiar surroundings and territories that are in the natural to explore new terrains in the spiritual realm.

Rebellion is a venomous disease that kills the flow of the Spirit in someone’s life. A rebellious person cannot be used by God because the spirit of defiance makes him or her an enemy to the move of God. Rebellion incapacitates the mind and heart of a person who is unable to understand the workings of God and the seasons of the move of the Spirit.

Rebellion is not failure to obey an instruction. It’s not what you do or fail to do. It’s a state of mind and heart that constantly rejects the counsel of God because the person tends to presume that his or her own mind is more right. Thus, they feel more important than what God desires to see happening in their life.

God’s Spirit validates you on the strength of your heart posture. He checks your motives to determine what your words and deeds imply. Revival operates within the spectrum of our motives for what we say and do.
