THE PURSUIT OF REVIVAL : Pastor Paul Olagunju

A. Revival is not a week’s worth of meetings. ii. Revival is not started in one day. iii. Revival is not controlled by man. iv. Revival is a heart thing. v. Revival is always  brought on by REPENTANCE. vi. Revival is renewed zeal to obey God  B. The word means to live and to have life; to remain alive and to sustain life; to be  quickened from sickness, discouragement, faintness, or death; to be restored to life  or health; to cause to grow.  C. Revival is the giving of a new breath of life to that which is either waning or has  ceased to breathe. Revival is a visitation of God which brings renewed life to  Christians who have been sleeping; restoring them, producing a deep sense of  God's near presence and holiness, real joy, purpose, and a reenergized zeal.
