Topic: PRAYERS BIRTH LASTING REVIVAL
Text: Psalm 126:1-6
The Psalmist recalls that it seemed like a dream that God brought the Israelites back from captivity. The people were happy and other nations testified of what God had done for His people. People who work hard in tears, will someday, reap the harvest in joy. People who sow seeds in tears will surely carry home the mature crops with rejoicing. The expression “We were like those who dream” connotes an unexpected and unprecedented deliverance. It was a deliverance that was almost too good to be true. Even the heathens were forced to recognise that God had done great things for Israel.
Prayer is an essential ingredient in every revival and deliverance we experience. Prayer is very essential also if we must enjoy the fullness of God’s promises. It is to this end that they cried,”Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south” (v.4). It was a cry for more than a retum from captivity but a cry for full restoration of lost glory. God is eager to send revival but He is also in need of men who would move His hands through passionate prayers. Do you need revival in your life, family, church, village, society, or country? Pray for God to send it!
Prayer: Father; I beseech you to turn again our captivity.
