REVIVE US Series| Chimdi Ohahuna| A CALL FOR PERSONAL REVIVAL. The call for revival is always crucial. While some think the church needs awakening, constant arguments can strip Christian faith of its power. Remember, our faith stems from Jesus' death and resurrection, not debates. Let the spirit reign! The ministry of Jesus demonstrated the Holy Spirit's power. Excessive argumentation can strip this power from our faith, making it more theoretical, even with underlying theories. The Bible notes Jews seek signs, Greeks seek knowledge, yet Christ embodies both God's wisdom and power, offering a harmonious balance in the gospel. Without this equilibrium, the gospel loses its essence. We are currently in an era where practical individuals hold more value than mere theorists. While acquiring knowledge is beneficial, its true worth lies in its practical application. It is crucial that the knowledge we possess is not just theoretical but has the potential to lead to tangible outcomes, particularly in saving others. Referencing the story of Apostle Peter walking past the beautiful gate, his response to the man in need emphasizes the importance of offering practical assistance rather than mere material possessions. The church is getting more educated. There are more educated folks in church, more professors, more doctors, more academic luminaries; praise God. The church is having more money, but, with this money and education, what encounter is the church having with the Lord? Because the effect of our encounter will be seen in our society. If our society is still normal with all our education and our finances, then we are not having an encounter with the LORD. One person died for the sin of the whole world; Not the sin of his village. Why are we having problems enforcing his finished work? It means that there have been some mental(ity) errors. Christ saved the world and he put Himself in all who believe in Him thus, we are more than able. The disciples of Jesus and the early Church understood that there was something they had. Peter was very sure of Eternal life within him which was more rewarding and profitable than gold or silver. The question today is, do we even know what we are? Do we even know what we are? Listen to this episode and let's discover together the need for balancing the theoretical and practical aspects of the Christian faith.
