The Fragrance Of The Coming Revival

I've been looking through different blogs lately and I am surprised to find out that Christians are starting to seek the buried truths of the Gospel. Some are even proclaiming the true message of salvation with the boldness and love that our forefathers had. Others are exposing the fancy heresies that we, Christians, have ignorantly adopted and embraced. A lot of people are waking up. We can see the sword of God plunging through the hearts of men in Christian forums and blogs. We can hear the screaming of preachers over their websites. God is reviving our land! He has heard the cries of His people!

I am deeply convinced that the merciful Lord is brewing a revival for the coming generation. I do not think that the truth would last anyways if He doesn't make a move. As He did throughout history, He would faithfully take action and will not let the truth about His Son vanish or be trampled on. He will see us through and make sure that the message is preached to His scattered elect.

We live in an age where the Gospel of Christ is rather vague, simplified or altered in accordance to the listeners' preference. How great it is that the sovereign will of the Lord can never be overridden by the counsels of men nor can it be nullified by a multitude of decisions. What great God! How could I have ever believed in the Arminian god? A god that sits on a throne but cannot exercise the powers of a sovereign ruler? Nay, the God of Scripture is sovereign and He shares His throne with no one.

Its feels so good to see Christians seeking God desperately. They are no longer contented with those powerless, crowd-pleasing pulpits. The twisted and half-true preachings of the Gospel ignorant have created an empty void in the lives of many true believers. They're no longer happy with what they are being fed with. They had enough of those repentance-skipping, man-friendly hoops. They want God and His Word. Their new natures are screaming for answers and they're re-entering the fences of Biblical truth.

Its true that many emerging church movements have been appearing here and then. Many false messiahs and fancy doctrines have been continually charming the people's minds. It is also undeniable that the seeker-sensitive movements are gaining ground and are rapidly evolving into mega-churches. Gospel reductionism is also rampant and extensive even among true believers in Christ. Nevertheless, God is faithful and He will provide a way for His elect to meet His Son on the cross. How the glory of the Lord is revealed when His merciful hand is extended to our impoverished minds?! I can say nothing more but praise His Name! I can hear the sounding trumpets of the coming revival. It won't be long until the Gospel is unearthed from the scoffs of men. When this happens, the land shall be offensively plowed and the seeds would be sufficiently sown in their fullness once again. The fragrance of Christ will invade the land. His starving people will find the promised milk, wine and honey and His glorious Name would be renowned as it should be. The great God of the old and the new testament is on the move! What else can we expect? Shall we not consider revival as a forthcoming reality?
