Sapling of Revival

We've been praying so long for Revival in our youth group. We said as a church, as the youth that we want to see revival come. Our 3-year theme is Revival In Progress (this is the 3rd yr). And all throughout these years, hearts of youths were being prepared and shaped. As prayers were heaped upon and around these youths, we were setting our sails to catch the wind of Heaven. For us leaders, we put the seed and prayed it will grow. May God cause the increase!

O God that they may know You! O God that they may love You! O God that they may serve You!

We marched forward, instituting changes and structures. With a stronger fist we insisted, with bigger heart we cared, with a desperate spirit we cried. From the time of Retreat 2008, the theme song rang "Holy Spirit come in power, change our lives!" The leaders prayed "Fall on us Lord". And the youth cried "Fall on us Lord!".

The seed was growing its roots. Slowly but surely, the roots were deepening. And God was listening.

Over the last full week of fasting and praying... Over this past weekend in Aspirers... and even during and throughout Church Camp... we saw the first signs of revival. A sapling has shown its head. A sign of life as we hoped this year would be! Many hearts experienced a form of breakthrough and are stepping forward in faith. Their love was beginning to become more than a song they sing. I will not go into details but know the significance of the events that has past recently. Don't be left out! We sing "don't pass me by".

But let's not focus on the events less they become larger than God. Let's not get caught up in the past and miss out on the greater things to come. THIS is just the BEGINNING. A sapling!


Know this, Aspirers, that the day we have been waiting for has come! The distant sound of thunder is right in your face and the rain will soon start to pour! Do NOT run from the rain cos this is the rain you've been calling down! Do not be threaten by the thunder for that is your Creator's awesome display of glory!THIS is what we've been talking about. But things are not going to be smooth sailing from now one. Revival is the opposite of smooth sailing!

So, Aspirers, are you ready? Are you going to be a part of this or a bystander? It has begun....
