Heralds of Revival Ministries

Heralds of Revival Ministries When simply put, our God-given vision, passion, and mission in Heralds of Revival is “the true revival of Christianity.”

We strongly believe that Christianity is not a religion, but an intimate relationship with God through Christ Jesus. It is not devotion to a religious organization, institution or denomination, but to the Lord Jesus Christ and His Kingdom. Christianity is not strict adherence to some religious laws, rites or regulations, but to the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is not conforming to some r

eligious standards, but conforming wholly to Christ’s example, in living and in dying also. In a nutshell, Christianity is simply denying yourself, taking up your cross daily, and following and cleaving steadfastly to the Lord Jesus Christ (Luke 9:23). Regrettably, the Christianity we profess, practice and protect today is at variance with the first century Christianity, the true Christianity. It is a complete departure from “the faith of old” which was once for all delivered to the saints and which we are exhorted to earnestly profess, practice and protect (Jude 3). When simply put, our God-given vision, passion, and mission in Heralds of Revival is “the true revival of Christianity.”

We are a people of Christ who are passionately and relentlessly committed to the full restoration of “the faith of old” delivered once for all to the saints (that is, the body of teachings of Christ delivered unto the early apostles of Christ and which was passed down in the Church). We have been labouring and contending earnestly for the true revival of Christianity (the faith of old) since 1998 through our Christ-centred lifestyle, teachings, publications, missions, and intercessions. Why not join us today?

“Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Jude 1:3-4 NKJV).

TAKE YOUR REST IN THE LORD

"Take your rest in the Lord, waiting quietly for him; do not be angry because of the man who does well in his evil ways, and gives effect to his bad designs." (Psalms 37:7 BBE)

There is undoubtedly an eternal rest for believers in heaven; however, Scripture assures that there is also a true rest, peace, and joy in the Lord available to believers now in this present life.

As a born-again believer, you don't need to defer your rest, peace, and joy until you leave this evil world. The Lord Jesus has provided you with rest, peace, and joy in this troubled world.

The Lord Jesus assures His disciples of true peace in Him.

John 14:27 – NKJV
27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

John 16:33 – NKJV
33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

There is no doubt that perfect and eternal rest, peace, and joy await true believers in heaven (Rev. 21:4). However, God wants you to have a foretaste of the perfect rest, peace, and joy awaiting you in heaven while you live amidst the turmoil of this present life.

The Lord Jesus said, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matt. 11:28 NKJV).

If indeed you have come to Christ and submitted to His lordship, you have a divine right and access to a blessed rest in the Lord while you live in this hectic world.

One of the primary proofs of knowing and following the Lord is that you will experience and express real rest, peace, and joy even amid tribulation or persecution.

In the face of death, the face of Stephen, the first martyr among the early disciples, was said to be glowing like the face of an angel. He was not fearful, restless, or troubled (Acts 6:15).

The word "rest" in the Hebrew "damam" literally means "to be dumb." This implies "to stop, to cease, to hold peace, to quiet self, to be silent, to be still, to tarry or wait."

To take rest in the Lord implies "to stop from struggling to please God through the works of the law; to cease from fear, worries, and anxieties about anything; to hold your peace amid troubles, trusting in the Lord's help; to quiet yourself and refuse to be upset, restless or agitated in the days of adversities; and to be still and wait upon the Lord for divine instructions when under pressures to act."

God commands that everyone who comes to Christ must rest in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Psalms 37:7 – BBE
7 Take your rest in the Lord, waiting quietly for him; do not be angry because of the man who does well in his evil ways, and gives effect to his bad designs.

How do you know someone who has taken his rest in the Lord?

He will cease from his works!

Hebrews 4:10 – NKJV
10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.

What works is this Scripture talking about here?

The works of the law!

You cannot enter into the Lord's rest until you cease struggling to overcome Sin and Satan in your strength and wisdom and striving to appease or please God through your good works, self-righteousness, or adherence to some religious rules and rites.

The Scripture records that when the heavens and the earth and all the host of them were finished, God rested on the seventh day from all His works which He had done (Gen. 2:1-3).

God rested from His works of creation, not to sleep or go on vacation, because He had become exhausted, but to relish or take pleasure in all He had created.

Similarly, Jesus Christ has finished the redemptive work for the salvation of humankind by His death and resurrection. No man needs to do other works or offer sacrifices to be saved or earn God's love, acceptance, favor, or blessing.

All that God wants us to do is to take our rest in the Lord—to take pleasure in the finished work of Christ—by simply putting our complete trust or confidence in the person and finished work of Christ, thereby appropriating and enjoying the benefits of His finished work.

Our self-righteousness, performance, or good works can never satisfy God completely or earn us God's love, acceptance, favor, or blessing.

Therefore, striving to observe, keep, or adhere to religious rules or rituals to earn God's love, acceptance, favor, blessing, or salvation is useless.

Paul aptly explains this truth.

Romans 4:1-5 – NKJV
1 What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh?
2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.
3 For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."
4 Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt.
5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.

Galatians 2:16 – NKJV
16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.

The grace of God in Christ Jesus has brought salvation to all men. God's love, acceptance, favor, or blessing is available to all men as a gift at the expense of Christ's suffering and death.

Paul aptly states this truth.

Titus 2:11 – NKJV
11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.

Ephesians 2:8-9 – NKJV
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Romans 11:6 – NKJV
6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

Beloved, you rest in the Lord when you cease striving or seeking to appease, please, or impress God or earn God's love, acceptance, favor, or blessing by your performance, self-righteousness, or good works.

Instead, you take pleasure in, rely upon, or trust entirely in the finished work of Christ as the only basis for having a loving and intimate relationship with God and for possessing and enjoying God's blessings.

For you to enter into His rest, it takes a spiritual understanding that Christ has defeated Sin, Satan, and the World by His death on the cross.

You will always experience inward rest, overflowing joy, and peace that surpasses all understanding, despite your circumstances, if you genuinely know and sincerely believe that the Lord Jesus loves you unconditionally and infinitely and has won for you a complete victory through His death and resurrection.

You will not lose your sleep, peace, rest, or joy over any spiritual, physical, financial, physical, or emotional needs if you truly know and believe that God has already blessed you with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ and that all things are now yours in Christ (Eph. 1:3, 1 Cor. 3:21-22, Rom. 8:17, 2 Pet. 1:3).

Friend, enough of fretting and running all over the place!

Christ has fought, won, defeated, and finished all your battles and adversaries through His death and resurrection.

Therefore, God is calling you today to cease from your fear, worry, and anxiety and begin to rest in the Lord, taking pleasure in and trusting entirely in the finished work of Christ for your salvation.

Heed the Spirit's call today to take your rest in the Lord.

Prayer:

My Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for all the divine provisions You have made available for me in Christ so that I may experience a foretaste of the eternal bliss awaiting me in heaven. From today, I cease my toiling, worries, anxieties, and fears and enter into the Lord's rest, in Jesus' name. Amen.

GOD'S BEST FOR YOU

"Then the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten the produce of the land; and the children of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate the food of the land of Canaan that year." (Joshua 5:12 NKJV)

The longest miracle recorded in the Bible is the daily rain of manna for 40 years, sustaining the children of Israel as they journeyed to the Promised Land.

Moses records that "the children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land; they ate manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan." (Exo. 16:35 NKJV).

God didn't intend for the children of Israel to live on the "miracle food" (manna) all the days of their lives. The manna was meant only to sustain them temporarily in their crisis.

Similarly, in our times of crisis, God will gladly give us the miracles we need to deliver us or sustain us temporarily, but He does not intend for us, nor expect us, to live on miracles for the rest of our lives.

God's best for His children is not temporary miracles but eternal blessings in Christ. Sadly, many believers today are only seeking and living on miracles rather than seeking to know how to appropriate and enjoy their eternal blessings in Christ.

Although the daily rain of "the miracle food" (manna) was an incredible display of God's glory, goodness, and greatness, there were some limitations to it (Exo. 16:7-8).

Let us consider some of these limitations.

First, there was a time restriction on the collection of manna.

The manna was given only in the morning and could only be gathered in the morning. Anyone who fails to go out in the morning to pick his portion of the manna will find nothing later.

Exodus 16:21 – NKJV
21 So they gathered it every morning, every man according to his need. And when the sun became hot, it melted.

Likewise, miracles are time-sensitive. If you miss your time of a miracle, you may never have it again, or you may have to wait for a long time for another time of divine visitation. The Lord Jesus Christ wept over Jerusalem because she missed her time of divine visitation, yet she didn't know it (Luke 19:41-44).

Second, the collection of manna was a daily exercise because it could not be preserved till the next day except on the Sabbath day.

Exodus 16:19-21 – NKJV
19 And Moses said, "Let no one leave any of it till morning."
20 Notwithstanding they did not heed Moses. But some of them left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Moses was angry with them.
21 So they gathered it every morning, every man according to his need. And when the sun became hot, it melted.

But when the children of Israel entered the Promised Land, they ate the produce or food of the land whenever they wanted and could preserve it as long as they wanted.

God's ultimate desire and plan for His children is not to constantly seek or live on miracles but to consistently and continuously enjoy or walk in His blessings.

Unlike miracles, God's blessings are generational. You can pass down God's blessings to your children and great-grandchildren like the Patriarchs of old did.

Third, the daily gathering of manna was according to need.

The people were forbidden to gather manna beyond their daily needs and specific requirements.

Exodus 16:16 – NKJV
16 This is the thing which the LORD has commanded: 'Let every man gather it according to each one's need, one omer for each person, according to the number of persons; let every man take for those who are in his tent.

Those who attempted to gather much more than the measure specified eventually had nothing left over.

Exodus 16:18 – NKJV
18 So when they measured it by omers, he who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack. Every man had gathered according to each one's need.

Miracles are enough to meet your needs or bring you out of a crisis. Afterward, you will still need another miracle, or even more, to survive. This is why a miracle is not God's best for you.

God delights in blessing you with abundance so that you can have much more than enough for your needs and those of your household, and become a blessing to others (Gen 12:1-3, 1 Chron. 29:16).

Paul clearly states this truth.

2 Corinthians 9:8 – NKJV
8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

Beloved, God's best for you is His blessings, not occasional miracles. Having God's blessing is infinitely greater than having some miracles.

While miracles are the fantastic, spectacular, and supernatural display of God's glory and power, God does not intend you to live on miracles daily.

The chief purpose of the finished work of Christ is not for you to receive, experience, or enjoy some occasional and temporary miracles in times of crises but to make you a joint heir of God's blessing with Christ and thus walk in God's blessing every day of your life (Rom. 8:15-17, Gal. 3:13-14, 4:4-7).

Beloved, in Christ Jesus, you are already blessed with every spiritual blessing.

Ephesians 1:3 – NKJV
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.

Therefore, stop running from one prayer meeting to another or from one prophet to another, seeking some miracles; instead, settle down to prayerfully and diligently search and study God's Word to know, understand, and appropriate the things that have been freely given to you by God in Christ. While miracles can deliver you from crises, blessings will keep you from crises!

As seen in the case of the manna (the miracle food), the children of Israel received for forty years, miracles can hardly satisfy; they are barely enough, they might not endure, and they cannot be passed down from one generation to another.

God has given you something far better, bigger, grander, more satisfying, more enduring, and more generational in Christ. The Bible refers to it as "every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ." (Eph. 1:3 NKJV).

Don't settle for anything less than God's best for you in Christ!

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for blessing me with every spiritual blessing in Christ. Dear Holy Spirit, help and teach me how to appropriate and enjoy all the good things God has freely given me in Christ, in Jesus' name. Amen.

BEWARE OF PRESUMPTUOUSNESS

"Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear." (Hebrews 12:28 NKJV)

David's exuberance and excitement to bring the ark of God into the city of David were brought to an abrupt, sad end when God struck Uzzah dead for putting his hands on the ark to prevent it from falling when the oxen carrying the ark stumbled.

As a result of the sad incident, David became angry, sad, fearful, and confused. Therefore, he sought God to know what went wrong and why God killed Uzzah.

It is also wise for us today to find out why God struck Uzzah, who was one of the key players in the move to bring God into the city of David, and who acted with good intentions to keep the ark of God safe in its place.

After the death of Uzzah, David discovered that the move to bring the ark of God to his city had not been carried out in the proper order and manner according to God's specific instructions given to Moses. Therefore, David admitted and confessed his sin of presumption before the priests and the Levites.

1 Chronicles 15:13-15 – NKJV
13 "For because you did not do it the first time, the LORD our God broke out against us, because we did not consult Him about the proper order."
14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.
15 And the children of the Levites bore the ark of God on their shoulders, by its poles, as Moses had commanded according to the word of the LORD.

But did that imply that Uzzah was just a scapegoat and was arbitrarily struck dead by God for the errors of David and all of Israel? Certainly not!

Abraham testified to God's righteousness, saying, "Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" (Gen. 18:25 NKJV).

God did not strike Uzzah for driving the cart that carried the ark of God, for he was not the only driver. Ahio was also driving the cart with Uzzah.

Also, Uzzah was not struck dead because it was unlawful for him to come near the ark of God. Uzzah and Ahio were sons of Abinadab, a Levite in whose house the ark of God had remained for a long time since the Philistine returned it (1 Sam. 7:1-2, 2 Sam. 6:3).

Uzzah and Ahio, the cart drivers, were Levites (God's ministers), and it was their God-assigned responsibility to carry the ark of God from one place to another. However, they were forbidden to look into or touch the ark. God only permitted the Levites to carry the ark on their shoulders by the poles put into the rings on the sides of the ark (Exo. 25:14).

God, through Moses, had sternly warned and commanded the Levites never to look into or touch the ark of God under any circumstances.

God had sternly warned them, saying, "And when Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all the furnishings of the sanctuary, when the camp is set to go, then the sons of Kohath shall come to carry them; but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die…" (Num. 4:15 NKJV).

The consequence of such disobedience, recklessness, and assumption is death, which Uzzah suffered!

God is not a sentimental being but a God of principles, precepts, and orders. Before God, good intentions or motives don't justify contemptuousness, presumptuousness, recklessness, or wrong conduct in His service.

Although Uzzah broke God's commandment out of a good motive, God did not overlook his error. This is a lesson for us! You have no reason or motive to disobey God's Word!

Like Uzzah, many believers and servants of God today ministering at God's holy altar and leading in God's service are becoming increasingly reckless and disorderedly, contemptuous and presumptuous in the way they handle the things of God while using their liberty in Christ as a cloak for vice or as an opportunity for the flesh (Gal. 5:13, 1 Pet. 2:16). No wonder they are spiritually dead, though still physically active in ministry.

After a fire from the presence of God had devoured Nadab and Abihu (the priests) for offering profane fire before God, which He had not commanded, Moses said to Aaron, "This is what the LORD spoke, saying: 'By those who come near Me I must be regarded as holy; And before all the people I must be glorified.'" So Aaron held his peace." (Lev. 10:3 NKJV).

Beloved, while serving God, you must guard against contemptuousness and presumptuousness in your service or in handling the things of God.

Your liberty in Christ must not be considered or taken as a cloak or license for wantonness or lasciviousness. Your service to God must always be with godly fear or reverence (Heb. 12:25-29).

Galatians 5:13 – NKJV
13 For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

Prayer:

My Dear Heavenly Father, I repent today of my contemptuousness or presumptuousness in my service to You. Dear Holy Spirit, teach and help me to serve God acceptably with godly fear or reverence, in Jesus' name. Amen.

KNOW WHEN TO SEND THE MULTITUDES AWAY

"And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there." (Matthew 14:23 NKJV)

Being a Christian is not belonging to a religious sect, organization, or denomination. But it is essentially having a personal, intimate, and loving relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

However, Christianity is not isolation or separation from people. It is beneficial for a believer to belong to and be active in a Christ-centered local church or assembly of God's children.

The Bible admonishes us to fellowship with other believers.

Hebrews 10:23-25 – NKJV
23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,
25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

It is undoubtedly necessary and enriching for you to fellowship regularly with other born-again believers.

The Bible reports that the early Church met daily for fellowship.

Acts 2:41-47 – NKJV
41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.
42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.
46 So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,
47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.

However, regular corporate fellowship must never be considered a good substitute for personal and intimate fellowship with God.

There is nothing more enriching than time spent alone with God. Therefore, it is wise to jealously prioritize and protect your time for personal and deep communion with God. Nothing must be allowed to compete with it or to substitute for it!

Although our Lord Jesus Christ always had multitudes with varied needs to attend to daily, He knew when to send them away so that He could have a personal and intimate fellowship with His Father.

After ministering to and feeding the multitudes, the Lord Jesus sent them away, not just the multitudes but even His close disciples.

Matthew 14:21-23 – NKJV
21 Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
22 Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.
23 And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there.

At other times, after ministering to the people, Jesus would withdraw from them to a deserted place for personal time alone with His Father.

Luke 4:40-42 – NKJV
40 When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them.
41 And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, "You are the Christ, the Son of God!" And He, rebuking them, did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.
42 Now when it was day, He departed and went into a deserted place. And the crowd sought Him and came to Him, and tried to keep Him from leaving them.

Jesus often withdrew from His disciples to a solitary place to pray and meditate.

Mark 1:33-37 – NKJV
33 And the whole city was gathered together at the door.
34 Then He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him.
35 Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.
36 And Simon and those who were with Him searched for Him.
37 When they found Him, they said to Him, "Everyone is looking for You."

Suppose our Lord Jesus Christ, who came into the world purposely to seek and save the lost souls, could send the people away or withdraw from them so that He might have time alone with God. In that case, there is nothing wrong with sending the people away or withdrawing from them to spend quality time alone with God.

It is wisdom for you to prize, esteem, and guard jealously above anyone or anything else your time alone with God.

Indeed, we live in a boisterous world. Many things are competing for your attention, devotion, and affection daily.

Your loved ones need you to spend quality time with them daily. Your business, ministry, career, or job also requires undivided attention and devotion. You have church services to attend weekly or even daily. It would help if you also had time for recreation and other activities.

Considering your busy, tight daily schedule, it is easy to sacrifice time alone with God, deceive yourself, or console yourself that God understands you are too busy. It requires no effort to substitute your personal fellowship with God with corporate fellowship.

When you constantly sacrifice your time alone with God for other activities or fellowships, you will miss the tremendous blessings and benefits of personal, deep, and intimate communion with God.

While Jesus spoke in parables to the multitudes in public, He explained everything in private to His disciples, who were delighted to spend time alone with Him.

Mark 4:33-34 – NKJV
33 And with many such parables He spoke the word to them as they were able to hear it.
34 But without a parable He did not speak to them. And when they were alone, He explained all things to His disciples.

There are deep things about God, His kingdom, and His plans and purposes for your life that you may never get to know or understand in public or while among the multitudes, but only when you are alone with God, in your closet, or in a solitary place.

Drifting from one church to another, from one special meeting to another, or from one prophet to another may compound your confusion and frustration. But when you set aside a definite time to be alone with God regularly, like Jesus did to His disciples, He will explain everything to you.

God waited patiently for Jacob to be left alone before He drew near to wrestle with him, to transform him, and to bestow upon him true generational blessings. Jacob never disclosed his true identity and the deepest longing for God until he was left alone with God (Gen. 32:22-32).

Like Jacob, you may have deep longings, wounds, hurts, inner struggles, or anguishes that you may not feel comfortable sharing or may even be ashamed to expose to God for healing while you are in the company of other believers. This is why you must always set aside time for personal and deep communion with God.

Beloved, it is perfect, beneficial, and rewarding for you to cultivate the habit of taking time out of your busy daily schedule to be alone with God daily to worship God, behold God's beauty, inquire from God's mouth, meditate upon God's Word, and share your deepest thoughts and emotions freely with God.

Moses might have died as an insignificant shepherd if not for turning aside from his flocks to focus on God and spend time alone with God (Exo. 3:1-10).

You may never become all that God has destined you to become in this life if you continue to treat or handle casually or nonchalantly your personal time of fellowship with God.

Friend, take time out today and every day to be alone with the Lord, beholding His glory and being transformed into His image from glory to glory by the Spirit of the Lord (2 Cor. 3:18).

Don't miss out on the tremendous benefits of spending quality time with God daily!

Proverbs 8:32-35 – NKJV
32 "Now, therefore, listen to me, my children, for blessed are those who keep my ways.
33 Hear instruction and be wise, and do not disdain it.
34 Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35 For whoever finds me finds life, and obtains favor from the LORD.

Prayer:

My Dear Heavenly Father, teach and help me to identify and effectively deal with everything that hinders me daily from having a quality, personal, uninterrupted communion with You, in Jesus' name. Amen.
