Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | January 2, 2019. Enrich and Sustain your relationship with Jesus reading our daily devotional – After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in thine sight o Lord. – Hosea 6:2

God desires to work through us but He will never force us to do anything for Him.

He will always allow us to have put ourselves into it, by crying out “ REVIVE ME. “ It is always man’s call, if indeed REVIVAL will be seen.

Beloved, their is one great attribute of your loving Father. In heaven, that you must take advantage of to the fullest. It is His unique ability and capability to revive.

Isaiah 57:15. For thus saith the high and lofty One. that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place,with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

No wonder, the cry of the saints of old to Him over and over, was for Him, in mercies and love to revive them.

Psalms 85:6. Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?

Psalms 138:7. Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

Habakkuk 3:2. O Lord, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O Lord, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.

Glory to God for bringing you to this new glorious year. Great and glorious things shall be your portion from the Lord this year in Jesus name.

BUT THEN, BECAUSE THIS MUST HAPPEN, NO DOUBT, YOU TOO NEEDS REVIVAL. You can not afford to continue in this cold and lethargic walk with God. See what He said about you.

Isaiah 52:1-2. Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.

Like the prophet Elijah repaired the altar of the Lord, before the fire of restoration and affirmation came from heaven. It is time for you too, to repair the altar of obedience, saintliness and wholehearted yieldedness to the Almighty Father.

1 Kings 18:30. And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down.

1 Kings 18:37-39 Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again. Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.

And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The Lord, he is the God; the Lord, he is the God.

THIS WAS THE MESSAGE OF HOSEA TO ISREAL IN HIS DAYS, SINCE YOU TOO, IS ONE OF THE ISREAL OF GOD, THIS IS GOD’S MOST URGENT MESSAGE TO YOU.

Galatians 6:16. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

Hosea 6:2. After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

Hosea 14:7 They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.

Isaiah 2:5. O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.

Give attention to the urgent need of revival in your life and plunge yourself into God’s ceaseless desirable blessings this year and beyond. It shall be so and be your portion in Jesus name.

Do you know that since after the revolt of satan and his fallen angels and their consequential excommunication, they have being bringing untold pains to the heart of God.

Revelation 12:7-9. And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Since then satan and his cohorts have ceaselessly and relentlessly commit themselves into three major destructive ministries. See them.

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

BUT, THEN JESUS OUR LORD , THROUGH HIS VICTORIOUS REDEMPTIVE SACRIFICE, HAS BEING UNDOING THESE DESTRUCTIVE MINISTRIES IN THE LIVES OF BELIEVERS OF ALL AGES.

Glory to God, it includes you. It was Jesus’s redemptive sacrifice that brought life in abundance to believers.

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Romans 14:9. For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

SEE HOW THE SCRIPTURES DESCRIBES HIS WORKS OF REVIVAL.

Romans 5:14- 21. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. But not as the offence, so also is the free gift.

For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.

For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Ephesians 2:1-5. And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;).

1 Corinthians 6:9-11. Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Hebrews 7:25: Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

See some beneficiaries of these works of revival in Bible days.

1. Mary Magdalena

Mark 16:9. Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. Luke 8:2. And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils

2. Peter the apostle

Luke 5:8-11. When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken: And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon.

And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.

3. The woman caught in adultery that was saved from been stoned .

John 8:10-11. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

4. Paul, the injurious persecutor, turned apostle.

1 Timothy 1:12-15. And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

If others have benefitted immensely through the reviving works of Christ, why not you? This new year, the foremost thing you need, that shall open the doors of desired greener pastures for you, is to take advantage of Christ reviving works.

I am persuaded of you, that you will do so and certainly and assuredly, every desired greener pastures you long for this year and beyond, shall be yours in Jesus name.

John 10:9. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

JESUS CHRIST THE ANOINTED REVIVALIST, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIM.

Friend, is it not surprising that as God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, both loving and kind , specializes in works of revival, yet a lot of people from the time past and even now, scorned them. and are disdaining this laudable work.

I am persuaded you are not one of these people. See their untoward attitude to Jesus our Lord.

Luke 19:13-14. And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

This inadvertently shall be their undoing and major Hindrance to partaking in the dawning rapture.

BUT, BELOVED FOR YOU IN PARTICULAR, PLEASE COMMIT TO HEART AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE ABILITY AND CAPABILITY OF BOTH GOD THE FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST, OUR LORD’S REVIVING WORKS.

See what Jesus’s message for you this year. Please heed it immediately.

Revelation 2:4-5. Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

As you return to your first love and separate yourself from anything and anyone that can tamper with your commitment to God and continual preparation for the dawning rapture, then let obedience to the totality of God’s eternal, infallible and unchanging words in the Bible, be your lifestyle.

Receive grace to do so till Christ comes in Jesus name.

Revelation 3:10-11. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
