John Wesley was an English clergyman and evangelist, who was a leader of a revival movement within the Church of England. He eventually founded the Methodist Church.
He was an acclaimed preacher, known as a mighty man of faith and prayer. Wesley always lived in view of eternity and was determined to declare the whole counsel of God, warning men of the dreadful consequences of rejecting the Gospel.
Consumed by the thought of the shortness of time, the great work to be done, and the need for haste in doing it, he worked hard to accomplish all he possibly could within his lifetime.
He marched through cities, preaching, teaching, pleading, and warning men to repent and make peace with God while there was still time.
Wesley was a constant traveler. He often walked twenty-five miles a day. One year he walked 1050 miles to preach in different Churches. In all, it is estimated he traveled 226,000 miles in his ministry and preached 46,000 times.
As Wesley preached, the power of God often came upon his listeners, and hundreds would fall under the power of the Spirit and many were healed of their infirmities.
Wesley was known for his lifestyle of fervent prayers. He would rise up at 4 am every day to seek God for the first four hours of the day. In his later years Wesley was known to spend up to 8 hours in prayer.
His room where he constantly prayed every morning came to be known as “The Powerhouse of Methodism’.
He always prayed with an open Bible, as he was always seeking a word from the Lord
Literally tens of millions of people are part of the Christian faith family because of the work of Wesley. He lived a life of great impact that continues to positively affect the world even today.

As children of God, we are ordained for global impact. We are destined to affect the world around us with the power of God.
Especially in these last days, as the signs of the end-times increase, it is God’s plan that we position ourselves to affect as many lives as possible for Christ.
The truth is that things are gradually coming to a climax on earth. And for every believer, it can no longer be Christianity as usual, we must do whatever is required to manifest the glory and power of God to impact the lives of men.
Indeed to overcome the gross darkness in the world, we must arise and shine with the light and glory of the Lord.
To this end, there is a need for us to grow spiritually because we can’t give what we don’t have. We must be revived before we can revive others. We must be on fire before we can ignite the world..
It is our degree of commitment in seeking God that will determine our level of manifestation of His power.
The more we feed on God’s Word and exercise through fervent prayers, the more we will grow spiritual muscles.
Let us therefore utilize the time we have to focus on the needed preparation for the manifestation of God’s glory in these end-times.
May we today, receive the grace for renewed fire on our prayer altar, diligent study of God’s Word and unbroken fellowship with the Holy Spirit.
Whatever we do, wherever we go, let us keep burning with the fire and fervency of the Gospel, shinning the light of Christ into the world to draw men into God’s kingdom. As we do this, God promises to establish us as stars that will shine forever.
Daniel 12:3 says ‘And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.’

PRAYER; Lord, thank You for renewed appetite for Your Word and fresh fire on my prayer altar, so that I will always burn with the fervency and zeal to spread the Gospel wherever I go in Jesus Name.
