We serve the God of times and seasons, who created life on earth in times and seasons Eccl. 3:1; Gen. 1:14-16. Three vital scriptural significances of understanding the times and seasons:
- It helps to know the right thing to do, which results in dominion 1Chr. 12:22.
- It grants access to the fruits of the season, which results in a life of beauty Eccl. 3:14.
- The lack of this understanding results in a miserable life Eccl. 8:6.
Scriptures makes us to understand that the midst of the year is ordained a revival season in God’s agenda Hab. 3:2. And a revival is a platform for signs, wonders and diverse miracles amongst others. Therefore, a sound understanding of a revival is vital to experience the signs and wonders ordained for this season Psa. 49:20; 119:144; Pro. 21:26; Matt. 13:23.
What is a Revival?
- A revival is a platform for divine visitation ordained for our supernatural change of position Hab. 3:2, 17-19; Zeph. 3:17-20.
God has His appointed time of visitation to His people and men Gen. 21:1. The visitation of God among men is what we call a revival; hence a revival is the celebration of God’s visitation among His people. Anytime and anywhere God visits, things don’t remain as they were Psa. 65:9-10; Job 10:12.
- A revival is a spiritual awakening that causes the giant in us to rise Ezk. 37:1-12; Jer. 30:21.
There are times and seasons God appoints to stir His people up to spiritual fervency, such is what we call revival 1Kgs. 18:21,38-39. Whenever God’s people embrace spirituality, the giant in them emerges suddenly Pro. 14:34; 1Tim. 4:18.
How to Know a Revival.
One can be in a season, but the most important thing is experiencing the season. What are the hallmarks of a revival, by which one can know it is happening in one’s life? A revival is said to occur when:
- The heart of men begins to pant after God and the interest of His kingdom Psa. 34:10; 42:1; Matt. 6:33.
If there is no change in what occupies the heart and how our heart is eager for the things of God, we are yet to experience a revival.
- Walking in the fear of God becomes our new way of life Jer. 32:39-40; Psa. 112:1-3.
In a revival, men lose their taste for sin.
What is a Revival for Us?
- Every revival is a spiritual launching pad to our high places Jer. 30:19-21; Hab. 2:6,17-19.
Remember, a revival is the move of God in the midst of His people. When God moves, barriers give way Psa. 68:1-2; 114:1-8. This is what results in the supernatural lifting of God’s people during a revival.
- Every revival culminates in supernatural restoration of the redemptive dignity of the believer Zph. 3:17-20; Jos. 2:26-27.
In a revival men return to God, and every time men return to God they are restored in life Lk. 15:17-24.
- Every revival is a time of express answer to prayers Jn. 15:16; Acts 12:5-13.
In a revival men disconnect from sin, and sin is the arch enemy that blocks answer to the prayers of believers.
- Every revival empowers believers to command the supernatural Isa. 8:18; Lk. 9:1-6.
We have said that what we call a revival is God’s visitation or move among His people. God does not visit for fun or to entertain, but to work. This is why when a revival breaks out, signs and wonders become the order of the day.
In conclusion, we are in a very significant season. We must stay spiritually awake to make the most of this prophetic season Eph. 5:14.This season shall deliver the fullness of the blessings to us.
To anyone reading this that will love to give his/her life to Christ, pray this prayer out loud with me from your heart: “Lord Jesus, I surrender my life to you today. Forgive me my sins; wash me with your blood. I believe you died for me, on the third day you rose again that I may be justified. Right now, I believe that my sins are forgiven; I’m justified by your blood; I’m born-again; I’m saved; I’m a child of God; I’m free from the power of sin to serve the living God. Thank you Jesus for receiving me; thank you Jesus for restoring me; thank you Jesus for saving me.”
Prayer.
- Father, in the name of Jesus, let the refining fire of the Holy Ghost burn off every chaff of sin in my life, thereby making my life acceptable unto God Mal. 3:2.
- Father, in the name of Jesus and by the Holy Ghost, heal me of every form of prayer infirmity, thereby empower me to be a full partaker of the ongoing revival Rms. 8:26.

Christianity without power is an empty religion that is unattractive 1Cor. 4:20.

Every time God steps into any human situation, there is bound to be a turnaround Hab. 3:17-19; Zph. 3:17-20.
