WHY REVIVALS DIE

WHY REVIVALS DIE

Ministering: Apostle Joshua Selman Nimmak

In few minutes, reflect on what the Lord is transforming you into and bless His Name.

The Index of Leadership is in the ability to make your followers, leaders and agents of change. #ApostleJoshuaSelmanNimmak

The Apostolic Ministry beguiles a lot of people because of its flamboyancy but it comes with a lot of sacrifice, burden and responsibility.

An Apostle is burdened with the weights of people and emphasis of God's agenda in a territory for a particular dispensation.

Psalm 105:14 (KJV) He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes

Apostles serve as communicators of God's divine truth and vessels in which God's realities are transmitted.

You have to realize that every Friday meeting under this Apostolic cloud is strategic; never trivialize them.

Pray: Lord, open my eyes tonight. #ApostleJoshuaSelmanNimmak

Matthew 11:15 (KJV) He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

"I lift my hands to You, You are the awesome God, I lift my voice to You, Awesome God, Awesome God" #ApostleJoshuaSelmanNimmak

In every major move of God, three things happened:

1. A strange season of open heavens that brings dimensions of great possibilities.

2. Intense and heavy criticisms and persecutions

3. Many were cut short and did not finish strong.

The Move of God must be done with Precision, Intelligence and must conclude till the end. #ApostleJoshuaSelmanNimmak

There is one factor that brings Revivals to an end. It is the "Humanity of men". #ApostleJoshuaSelmanNimmak

For sustainable revival, you have to build a system to prevent the limitations of your humanity.

In Scripture, there are four living creatures that reveal the dimensions of God:

1. The face of a Lion that reveals the Dominion of God.

Dominion refers to a realization of the tremendous power made available to you in Christ.

The Consequence of an exaggeration of Dominion is Pride. #ApostleJoshuaSelmanNimmak

2. The face of a Calf that reveals the Servant-hood dimension of Christ.

You have to realize that the reason why great power is made available to you in Christ is for effective service in the Kingdom.

The hallmark of son-ship in the Kingdom is Servant-hood. It is the revelation of God's love that brings commitment to service.

The consequence of an exaggeration of Servant-hood is literal death and the wearing out of your mortal body.

3. The face of a Man is the third dimension that reveals man's humanity.

There are a lot of expectations placed on human vessels that carry God's anointing so much that, the humanity of man is not acknowledged.

Mark 11:11 (KJV) And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

Mark 11:12 (KJV) And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, "he was hungry":

Recognize the fact that in your configuration to conform to Christ, your humanity was not taken away. #ApostleJoshuaSelmanNIimmak

Hebrews 4:15 (KJV) For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

The consequence of an exaggeration of humanity as an excuse is allowance of demonic activities into your life.

4. The face of an Eagle is the final dimension that reveals Divinity.

Declare: I am divine in-spite of my humanity.

Song: "Lord, You took my pain and then You gave me joy. You're my peace, my melody in the center of the storm..."

Song: "You gave me a brand new song to sing to You, that's why I will lift up my voice to sing; iyeeee iyeeee..." #ApostleJoshuaSelmanNimmak

The devil comes at desperate moments in your life; and if your humanity is not adequately managed, it corrupts God's work in your life.

Luke 4:13 (KJV) And when the devil had ended all the temptation, "he departed from him for a season".

Every man and revival that was cut short was because men did not accurately manage their humanity in times of vulnerability.

Isaiah 40:28 (KJV) Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

Isaiah 40:29 (KJV) He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

Isaiah 40:30 (KJV) "Even the youths shall faint and be weary", and the young men shall utterly fall:

Isaiah 40:31 (KJV) But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

The first benefit you get when you wait upon God is Strength and Capacity to absorb the distress that comes in this life.

Waiting on the Lord is a spiritual strategy that revitalizes you whenever your humanity is dominating your spirituality.

Proverbs 14:4 (KJV) Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.

We are in a season where the kingdom of hell is releasing arsenals that will reveal the humanity of men and cause them to stumble in faith.

There are three phases this invasion will cut across:

1. Individuals

2. Churches

2. Nations and Territories.

This teaching is meant to prepare you to sustain strength in the spirit because satan is set to discredit the power of God and His Word.

But in the midst of this chaos, there will be an Emergence of God's people who have overcome pain and are strengthened in the Lord.

Make sure you wait on the Lord. It is the strength and capacity received in Him that will enable you stand in the midst of adversaries.

Galatians 6:17 (KJV) From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.

Isaiah 43:1 (KJV) But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

Stand through the pain and persecutions. It is the birthing of the anointing and glory of God in your life.

In a minute, lift your voice and pray: Lord, give me strength for the days ahead.

Be comforted, when everything fails, know that the Lord is with you. Do not trivialize His Presence.

Pray: Lord, hold my hands through this journey and remind me of Your Word whenever I want to give up

Declare to the Lord: No matter what I go through, my love for You is unbending.

The voice of the Spirit is calling unto everyone who hasn't made a decision to live for Him.

Prayer of Salvation: I dedicate my life to You today; I receive Your love and works on the Cross. Thank You for forgiveness.
