REVIVALSample

Day 1: Revival Starts with Repentance

Scripture:

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” – 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV)

Devotion:

True revival begins with repentance. Repentance is not merely a verbal acknowledgment of wrongdoing; it is a heartfelt turning away from sin and a returning to God. When we humble ourselves before God, confess our sins, and align our hearts with His will, we open the door for His transformative power to work in us. Revival is not possible without repentance because sin separates us from God’s presence.

In a world where self-sufficiency is glorified, repentance reminds us of our dependence on God. It brings clarity to our need for His mercy and grace. As we repent, our hearts become fertile ground for the seeds of revival to take root. Let today be a day of soul-searching and surrender, where we invite God to cleanse us and prepare us for His renewing work.

Prayer:

Lord, I come to You with a repentant heart. Forgive me for the ways I have fallen short of Your will. Cleanse me, purify me, and align my heart with Yours. Begin a revival in me that spreads to those around me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
