Message: The End Time Flood Of Revival
Text: John 7:37-39, Hosea 6:2
Ministering: Pastor Dr. Raf Otono
Date: 13th August 2023
LAST WEEK WE STARTED OUR REVIVAL AND FLOOD ACTIVATION SERVICE!
And I started by saying that for there to be a revival there must be a quenchless thirst for God.
I said – Not to thirst for God, is to be spiritually dehydrated! Revival only comes to those that are thirsty for God!
John 7:37 – If any man thirst, let him COME UNTO ME
- 2. COME TO JESUS – Take a step and come to Him
John 7:37 – if any man thirst, let him come unto me and DRINK
- DRINK: – To drink is to be totally submissive to His will and to be empowered by His spirit to do whatever He will have you do.
I ended by saying – Revival begins and ends with a thirst!
After men thirst, they come to Jesus and drink of Him then out of their belly shall flow rivers of living water!
Now, let me start by establishing a few things today:
- Every spirit filled believer or born-again Christian is a mobile river!
As a believer, you are a carrier and container of rivers! – You are a river bank!
If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink. He that believeth on me – out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
Jesus said if you believe in Him – out of your belly shall flow rivers!
Do you know what that means? That means you are a generator of power
Do you know what that means? Hydroelectric power is generated through river (A Dam)
God is saying to someone here today, you are looking for a glass of water whereas you are carrying a river on the inside of you!
God is saying to someone what you are looking for, you are a reservoir of it!
How can you be looking for a deposit of the oil? whereas you are a depot!
I speak as an apostle of light – That which you are looking for, after this service – you will begin to distribute them, they will begin to flow from and through you!
Somebody holla: I refuse to die of thirst when I carry a river!
But Listen: It is one thing to carry the Bible, it is another thing to know what the Bible carries
Hear me: The fact that you are a river carrier, is not a guarantee that the river is flowing!
Yes! I know that the fact that you carry a river has been established, the question and challenge is whether the river is functional:
Every believer is a river carrier but is the river flowing out? It is not enough to carry a river; it has to flow!
That’s why we are here today!
- Many believers are not manifesting today because they are carrying a non – flowing river.
Listen to me, there are different kinds of river:
- Stream
- Lake
- Flowing river
- Ocean
- Non-flowing & stagnant river
Which one are you carrying? Today whatever you are carrying doesn’t really matter – it is the flow of what you are carrying that we are here to deal with!
So, the question now is why is the river not flowing? Because it has been locked up!
This river has a gate! – Nahum 2:6
Today, by the power of the Holy Ghost – every river gate that is locked – They are opened now!!
Rivers of living water locked up – Open now!
Rivers of prophetic and apostolic mantles locked up – Open now!
Rivers of revival fire and church growth locked up – Open now!
Rivers of healings and spiritual gifts locked up – Open now!
Rivers of end time wealth and prosperity locked up – Open now! X2
The Lord is my light and my salvation, who shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil for God is with me
And if God be for me, who can be against me?
He is the same yesterday, today and forever
He said, let there be light and there was light
He wraps Himself in light as of with a garment
He shinneth in darkness and darkness couldn’t comprehend
He is my light! My salvation! My law giver! My way maker! My refuge! My fortress! My Strong tower! My Helper!
SOMEBODY HOLLA – REVIVAL! REVIVAL!!
You are meant to be a financial power house to push and finance the gospel yet you are struggling- why? The rivers are locked up!
You were destined to be the next Billy Graham, Benson Idahosa, Kathryn Kuhlman shaking nations and winning souls for Jesus yet you are struggling to pray – why? The river gates are locked up!
Nahum 2:6 – The gates of the rivers shall be opened – that means it was locked!
Listen: What is in you is a million times bigger than what you are looking for!
Write this – When a man’s manifestation is not directly proportional to his potential, frustration is inevitable
When the gates of your river are locked you will be running from things that are supposed to be running from you. (Lion amongst Sheep story)
When the gates are shut – You are like a bulldozer that is cutting grass – your destiny is to cut down iroko trees and pull-down mighty structures – yet nothing – why are you there?
Listen: The agenda of God is to open the river and over run the earth with the flood of revival – Nahum 1:8
This overrunning flood happens when multiple rivers begin to flow out of us – then it becomes the flood of end time revival!
I’m talking about the kind of revival that will bring this nation and the world to its knees.
Listen: The gates cannot be fully opened and the crowd not flow in.
If we don’t lack the cloud of His presence, we can’t lack the crowd.
3 signs we are going to see today to confirm that the river gates are opened are:
- Fresh Baptism of the spirit with tongues speaking
- New diverse tongues for those that already speak in tongues
- Interpretation of tongues
RISE ON YOUR FEET!
PRAYERS:
God Almighty, I cannot carry a river and be looking for a cup of water. Gates of my river be opened now in the name of Jesus!
Every river gate that is partially opened in my life, causing partial manifestations – right now in the name of Jesus be fully opened!
Father, let the rivers of living water in me begin to flow out now in the name of Jesus (Hold your belly)
