WHAT IF THE NEXT REVIVAL THE CHURCH NEEDS IS FINANCIAL?
Years ago, I had a vision that changed the way I thought about revival.
In the vision, I was attending a Christian conference.
I was full of expectation.
I expected preaching.
Prophecy.
Healing.
People falling under the power of God.
Everything I associated with a powerful revival conference.
But something strange happened.
The man standing before the congregation was holding bundles of money.
Instead of preaching, he began calling people forward and placing money into their hands.
People were shouting.
Rejoicing.
Celebrating.
But I was upset.
There was one important detail.
I could not see the man's face.
Because I did not know who he was, I felt very bold criticizing him in my heart.
I thought:
“Why is this man giving people money?”
“He was invited to preach.”
“This is supposed to be a conference.”
“Why is he making this about money?”
Then I came out of the vision.
I needed to use the bathroom.
While I was there, I looked at my reflection in the mirror.
And I heard God speak to me about why He had given me the vision.
Then came the shock.
The man standing before the congregation, the man I had been criticizing, was me.
I was stunned.
God was confronting something in my own thinking.
I considered myself a revivalist.
If you gave me the choice between preaching about revival and teaching about money, business, entrepreneurship, and financial freedom, I would have chosen the traditional revival conference.
But I understood something that day.
God's people also need financial revival.
You can be spiritually alive and financially trapped.
You can have a calling and lack the resources to pursue it.
You can have gifts and not know how to turn them into value.
You can pray for financial breakthrough while lacking the business skills necessary to produce it.
This is why I believe some Christians need business training more than another conference.
We still need prayer.
We still need preaching.
We still need prophecy.
We still need healing.
But the Church must also teach people:
• Entrepreneurship
• Sales
• Marketing
• Money management
• Investing
• Negotiation
• Ownership
• Wealth creation
We have taught believers how to give.
We must also teach them how to create.
Because financial bo***ge can handicap purpose.
Imagine churches teaching people how to pray and build businesses.
How to give and invest.
How to hear God and understand the marketplace.
How to discover their gifts and turn those gifts into solutions.
How to build companies.
Create jobs.
Own assets.
Finance ministry.
Support missions.
And build wealth that can bless future generations.
Maybe revival is not only people falling at the altar.
Maybe revival is also believers rising in the marketplace.
Do you believe the Church needs a FINANCIAL REVIVAL?
Comment FINANCIAL REVIVAL if you agree.
