Yesterday, our team had an extended time to pray together… We 1st met at Labrador park.. sat at a high point, overlooking the see, it was a beautiful setting! Then we went back to office, had juices (it was a juice fast that day for all!) and continued in pray for our core values, for the lost etc. It was really a good time!
In the morning, Pat shared fr Joel, about the 5 C’s of Revival… Also shared about 2 things that prevent revival from taking place… our ‘unrepentant heart‘, and our need for a ‘sense of respectability‘- the need to look like we’re ok in front of others, even when we’re really not.
We had some time to make some personal reflections.. and I thought about another obstacle to true revival.. and that’s ‘Counterfeits‘, another C. The world seems to offer all kinds of things that may seem to give a semblance of ‘revival’. Yet we know all of these are merely ‘fakes’ and substitute for the real thing. The irony is that our appetites tend to be for such things… We readily yearn for these instant gratifications in life, even though we know they don’t fully satisfy.
Father, help me to learn and grow to identify the fakes, and know quickly that they don’t satisfy…
Most of all, help me find my treasure in You. Cos’ where my treasure is, there my heart will be too! Thanks that this is upon you heart, and you’ll answer this prayer! =)
