Matthew 5:16 ‘Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven’.

DAILY READING; Acts 27:1-12; 1 Samuel 2:11-36; Psalm 50

The story of Evan Roberts and the Welsh Revival is one of the most thrilling in Christian history.
As a boy Evan Roberts was unusually serious and diligent in his Christian life. He memorised verses of the Bible and was a daily attender of Moriah Chapel, a church in his hometown.
Even at 13 years of age he began to develop a heart for a visitation from God. Thereafter, for about eleven years he prayed for revival. He could sit up all night to read or talk about revivals.
After working in the coal mines, he later entered a preparatory college to study for ministry.
In 1903 , when he was 25 years old, he began to pray for more of the power of the Spirit in his life. From then on he would wake up at 1.00 am for divine fellowship, praying for four hours before returning to bed at 5.00 am.
From the preparatory school, he returned back to his home town and began holding prayer meetings, encouraging people to pray for the outpouring of the Spirit.. These meetings slowly increased in numbers and powerful waves of intercession often swept over those gathered. The crowds continued to come and the meetings often went on until the early hours of the morning.

Then in November of 1904, the Welsh revival broke forth, this spiritual revolution spearheaded by Evan Roberts greatly affected Britain. The revival like a hurricane, swept through the landscape unlike anything ever seen before in the nation.
This move of the Spirit ushered hundreds of thousands of souls’ into the Kingdom of God.
Hundreds of overseas visitors flocked to Wales to witness the phenomenon and many took the fire back to their own land.
The Welsh Revival became one of the greatest Holy Spirit outpourings in the history of Christianity. And this happened because, Evan Roberts, yielded himself to God to be used mightily to usher in a rmove of the Spirit.

Revival is more than a word; it is an heavenly invasion of the kingdom of God upon the earth. It takes willing and yielded vessels to become the channels through which the power of the Spirit flows to ignite the hearts of men for God.
Just like the fire that swept through Britain, we need the revival Fire of the Holy Ghost burning upon our lives today more than ever before. Nothing can bring healing and deliverance to men, as the Fresh Fire of the Holy Ghost.

The truth is that God has called us to shine as lights in our world. Especially with the state of things in the world today, our light is needed more than ever before.

Jesus said no one lights a candle and hides it under a bushel, but sets it up on a candlestick to give light to all that in the house.

Our lights are not to be hidden rather it is meant to shine brightly in the gross darkness of this age. In generations past, there were great men and women, as Evan Roberts, whom God used to light up their world. In the midst of the wickedness in their nations they stood and brought about positive changes. By letting their lights shine brightly, many lost souls were drawn out of darkness into God’s kingdom.

In our generation today, we are embodiment of Christ’s light! Especially in this turbulent end times, we need to let our lights shine brightly before men. We need to fervently stand in the place of intercession, overturning the plans of the wicked and ensuring a positive change in our nations. As intercessors, we are facilitators of divine intervention.

However, for our lights to shine brightly, we need to be strongly connected to the Holy Ghost, through a fervent spiritual life..
Therefore, as we wait upon the Lord in this period, let us go for greater depths in study of the Word, prayers and worship,, until fresh fire from Heaven falls upon us and truly ignites us to shine as lights in the world.

PRAYER: Lord, I am available, please use me in this generation to affect my world positively. Especially in these end-times, let my light so shine before men that many souls may be brought into Your kingdom in Jesus Name.
